well looks like there is enough hate going on here. So it is better than anything I have ever done, which is nothing. So great job. I liked the three lightsaber yielded by one jedi scene. Keep up the good work when and where can we find the finished product.
great idea. it should definalty be put into words. It would make a great fan fic or a comic or a book that can go between III and IV. I personally believe that the Star Wars movies are finished and i don't get into extended stuff and i hate the whole "Clone Wars" thing being blowned up as well. But this is actually a really neat idea even though you did it just for fun. The thought rocks.
IMHO, the CG stuff looks kinda lame.. either go all out (try use blender) or use stop motion. All these videos without the CG space ship and the CG'd interior is just awful. Its going to be a waste of a beautiful location, props and actors as the CG'd stuff will bring the whole production value down. I am a DieHard Starwars fan... and I think this should either be on par or take a different approach, this is seemingly half-arsed.
When I saw this, I cried...I think a full length is in order. I agree with btindall - I also confirm he has seen a lot of sexy. And the incredibly awesome haters should ask their girlfriends...wait those type of idiots are playing D & D in their mom's basement with no chance of girlfriends. If anyone, I mean anyone, has a problem with this trailer, I will attack like a white wild monkey...ehhhh I love you man.
Joe showed me this yesterday when we came back to visit the day after the wedding...very cool stuff, man! I wish we had talked more about your video/animation work at dinner!
We'll have to stay in touch - was a blast to meet you both!
No no, man. No worries. I totally understand the loyalty to the greats. And actually, I think some folks in Hawaii are making a full-length, and it looks pretty cool. Look 'em up. But I also heard that some big studio is remaking 7 Samurai, to which I say: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? How do you completely remake something that was so near perfection? Especially without any kind of re-imagining, like Magnificent Seven as the Western version. I dunno. Anyway, Cheers.
Alot of people like to compare our 2 projects, i dont however like that they always make rude comments about how Jonthanbirds one is so cheesy and lame compared to ours, 1st off we both started this around the same time, he made a great FX demo IMOHO, but left it just as that and even had planned a collaboration with us. Although both of our projects are much different in look and feel, I think we both are giving homage and a great tribute to the great masters of cinema, Kurosawa and Lucas.
Don't worry, man. I get plenty props for it - totally offsets the haters. Especially for how little went into it. I'm pretty secure about this little project.
Ok, guys... for the last time: I'm not making a full-length, I just wanted to practice some effects shots for fun... compositing with 3D, environments, motion tracking, green and keying etc... and a trailer was the best vehicle for that. Relax, buddy - I'm not trying to make some dramatic epic, this was just a few weekends of fun to shoot some lasers around. And yes, everything is cheap because I spent ZERO (0) dollars. But I had an absolute blast and taught myself a ton about effects.
ehh... i just dont like it... very cheap animation... yea the masks are cool, but everything else is just... well crap. you should really just make the stuff, i mean, ive seen people make entire sets out of scratch that looked better. No offense, but its crap...
Actually - the wizard modellers at SciFi3D did the models, they generously post them there for free. I animated them and composited them with the footage.
Nice nice nice, I am much than impressed, how much time did you take to do the whole movie?
