Thunderbird 1 launch (fan movie version)

[SpareMomentStudios]

What CGI software did you use? Maya? Blender? also I like the model of thunderbird 1 :)

[TyneGibbs12]

Epic.

[Moseslawgiver]

Your concept of cinematography is fantastically professional! Sure, it's not exactly Hollywood CGI here, but seems like some super cool previz for a movie.

[CHRIS90ANDES]

if this were real the thunderbirds are a good source of global warming =p

u need a lot of fuel to shoot a rocket into the air and to keep it running... not to mention tb2 and tb3... ncie video man... what program u used to make the models?

[holmsatlarge]

far superior than the frakes travesty...and he had millionsof moneys to chuck about,but no understanding of the property.good work and talent.

[sjmulder]

Aww man that was my favourite scene when I was a kid. Used to rewind the video and watch it again and again. Your video is very well done. Great on the details.

[prausch65]

Nice recreation, I wish I was the pilot.

[Ief87]

Thanks man!

[Ief87]

what's the name of the tune like?

[TB1fan]

The music is "Kiriko's Decision" from the Godzilla x Megaguirus sound track, it is an awsome score. :D

[DecentMan4you]

56,892 views as I have just seen this collecting my boombox videos as I have over 100 vids of my own ... this is a bit loud but neato :)

[Dougurasufilm]

I can't say it's very convincing, but the use of framing and the use of composition is REALLY good! You used the perfect angles and shots to create a very good movie even though it has graphical limitations :o I'm really impressed by that :p

It would've been cool though if the music climaxed just before Thunderbird 1's launch :p And you'd see TB1 from the front just like the show, but that's just me :p

[MatthewCasey]

Heartily agreed. Despite its lack of professional-level detail, there's some strong filmmaking skills behind it; with more time for modeling, this would be strong feature film-level stuff.

[chrisatreide]

Good job ! ^^

[choochooguy63601]

when is spacefall out and where?

[randomstuffinc]

AWESOME!!!

[MJKnight07]

Still great. :)

[TB1fan]

Ok due to popular demand, i've officially recommenced work on my old TB3 launch sould be up within a month

[TB1fan]

Where on earth did i get 39,518 views from, seriously!

[86Timewarp]

lol now you have 43,662 btw AWESOME!!!!

[ecyor0]

@TB1fan I guess it's Just That Good...

[tonybrock46]

AWESOME!!!

[zincdustdust]

lmfao. one word, Anorak.

[LFercho]

lol

[WSDuplex]

This is excellent. Great design and editing - a really professionally designed sequence - visually exciting! WELL DONE - KEEP THIS UP!!

[EJRocky]

Is Spacefall still going? I just saw your trailer and it looks stunning.

[k9tb]

make a whole eisode of it,it will be mint!!

[TB1fan]

thanks, well what we are doing is making somthing called edf that homages thunderbirds and captain scarlet quite a bit, making my own thunderbirds episode is quite tempting but i cant resist the allure of making up my own universe

[jarvyhasadog]

are you like a retard whos like 16 years old?

[TB1fan]

17 going on 18 actually, are you like a retard who like can't structure their scentences properly?

[Beamshipcaptain]

Bloody good!

[TheAmazingSRG]

Thanks and merry christmas!

[Funkstar124]

Just shows what talent there is. That sequence was well worth theh attention of Hollywood. After all, that's how the basic graphics are worked out from the start.

Keep em comin. Actually, ever thought about a movie. That other comment about the Last Starfighter - where the hell does he think they got half of the ideas from in the first place!! Twonk!

[jsl151850b]

Nice... but reminded me of "The Last Starfighter"

(Don't take that the wrong way.)

[TB1fan]

him well the graphics in that wer perfectly likeable

[jaypee1701]

wow man i do animations with flash and lightwave but yours is out of this world Congrat

Johnny

[FadahRon]

Fantastic mate! A Million times better than the that prick of a movie "Spy Kids wanks Virgil Off" bullshit by Jonathon "Was crap at Star Trek as well" Frakes

[HOGBAITE66]

wow! , that was amazing!

[jivio]

Cool dude, can you make more?

[TB1fan]

well thunderbird 2 had to be taken down cuz some yobs started bugging my brother, the fx for tb3 have been on my hard drive for a year now so ill stitch that together somtime with the edf crew soon

[Duncanbuzz]

REALLY nice work! I saw the original first time round and have been a fan of Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation shows ever since Supercar. Your work is a fitting tribute to the creative genius that went into those old puppet shows.

[1ottie]

wow totally awsome, I am a maya character designer so i totally appreciate this! you have a talent! :D AWSOME!

[HazzerJ]

That's awesome man. I'm a visual effects artist myself so I can properly appreciate the work that went into it. How long did it take?

[TB1fan]

Cheers, took about a month beside school and a social life, i hope more recently it has improved but its fun to look back on

[nascarmad]

Totally, awesomely COOL! I'm a big fan of the original series. Well Done!

[enginedave]

That's gay.

[MsipmsonW]

What happened to Thunderbird 2 launch (fan movie version)?

[TB1fan]

Some chav at some shop was bugging my brother who played virgil about it so i took it down, im might see if i could put it up on a less widely used video sit but im not sure

[JeZii]

Cool... Heh, which MCDUs/FMCs were flashing there? :D Some cockpit of your own?

[crispycritterz]

That was actually pretty good..... too bad the movie sucked like a Hoover.....

[Narutovbleach]

nicely done!

[kicked101]

this is cool make more

[jacobmasta]

hey TB1fan.

How long does it take you to animate that thing?

[TB1fan]

quite a whle about a mont or on and off for the effects 5 minuites for the human footage

[HazzerJ]

Awesome. What program did you use?

[fightboss]

Hey TB1fan,

Great Video! you Captured the Spirit of THUNDERBIRDS with that one! small Question:did You ever do a Fan Vid of Thunderbird 4? Just wondering.

[redfoozle]

Excellent. Better put together than the daft movie. AS other's have said. with more work on the CG this would be amazing, but structurally it is faultless.

[YuugiHikari]

I LOVE IT! Mixing the old and the new, and all that animation...wow, simply, wow.

[Matandmatt]

Wow man...that was aewsome...

[tryptychUK]

Excellent job, great modelling and nice animation. Just a shame the rendering lets it down. With a serious engine behind it, that would kick the pants out of any Yank movie version.

[ACtheLegend]

Tell you what, you find a way to get a full design team together with good financial backing, make 15 minutes of test footage and show it to Gerry Anderson. Mixing the style of the old series with the believablity of the new vehicles could make this show the biggest hit since a thing called television was invented. In other words, WELL DONE!

[starshipdiscovery]

damn straight- i'd pay good money to see that, i think it may just beat the cgi captain scarlet- well done TB1fan!!!

[abbo69]

totally awesome

[ScorchX]

That was amazing!

[rh0na]

Nice 0ne ;D

[ratshit4]

omg that was fantastic how long must that have taken you! lol well done it was lush!

[bradonj]

excellent job mate

[nastyashman]

Thunderbird 1 is my FAVOURITE!! They should have used something similar to this for that so-called movie. Oh and a decent plot as well would have worked! Nice job!

[TB1fan]

thanks it didnt quite take 100s of ours but it was fun to make, thaks 4 all da comments

[ratshit4]

bet it did that is amazing i love that little lego sort of figure man lol x

[soapybroccoli]

I love it!

[PRICEJAMES]

you must have spent 100s of hours on this as the result is stunning and awesome.

[jhlagado]

nice work!
