Apollo 13 Launch

[nicollaney]

That was cool!

[ultrajd]

We really need to go back to the moon.

[wonglokking]

Very very nicely done. Thank you.

[Dreaded88]

Umm.... I don't think you got Dr. Eugene Kranz just right!

[fgray78]

This is fucking weird, but I do love this cue

[SkullStringer]

awsome job man. 

[WeaselWJ]

BEAST!

[SaintMadBand]

Very cool! it's nice to remember the days when bravery meant conquering the unknown instead of killing. The astronauts are still MY heroes!

[Missymulli]

Love it! thanks for doing it!

[moonulica]

superb :)

[Doctor699]

I never could have imagined Gene Kranz that fat!

[maniaku1206]

@Doctor699 its harder to model a real person. although inaccurate, i find him funnier and more pleasing this way (it's a fictional animation right ?). if you couldn't have imagined him that fat, someone had to!

[durdle1701]

Very nicely done, however, one small critique, Kennedy Space center is only about 10' above sea level. The hills in the animation are not there in the real world. Just an observation.

[maniaku1206]

@durdle1701 details are important, and this is one detail i haven't paid attention to. I did the hills so that i dont have to make any other surroundings, but you are right, its highly unrealistic. Thanks for pointing that out!

[durdle1701]

@maniaku1206 In the movie Apollo 13 just before the launch you get an excellent view of the area. It is so neat to see your film though, brings back a lot of memories when our family lived in Satellite Beach, 20 miles south of the cape. You did a great job, I'd much rather see my tax dollars going towards the space because we all reap the benefits many fold.

[Akirameerkat]

your so lucky, I could never afford 3d max or maya, i only have blender, but I don't think its capable of something as good as this

[ZakkWyldeBLS93]

fantastic animation, great work!

[divyabhartifan]

WOW! Amazing animation. You did a graet job!

[Deciziv3]

#LOL

[MaximumCrash]

nicely done

[DancingLyrics17]

Great

[pooja0008]

Amazin...well done! :D

[pooja0008]

impressive... well done :D

[ibrianzoli]

I like it very much!!!

[05u16hep]

Wow, this is amazing!

that must have taken years to render, my PC takes about an hour to render 30 seconds of video!

I downloaded a free trial of 3DS max, wish I could afford it let alone do this!

[BNSFTIM55]

nice

[thijsvanhasselt]

Wow, very nicely done! I wish I could make such animations :)

[maniaku1206]

thats exactly what i said about 2 years ago. thanks, and you could give it a try someday.

[NessiMauzz]

Very good job, I love it :)

But isn't in INCO and not ENCO?

I don't know exacly, I just saw it in the subtitles...

Sorry, if I'm erring, and sorry for my terrible English...

But I really hope to see more like this :)

[maniaku1206]

you might be right. i will check that !

[xxjpxxdeluxe]

i like your cartoon style Gene Kranz

[DingitDuck]

Impressive!

[rickya350]

Amazing how you did this.... fantastic job :)

[maniaku1206]

thanks. i did it in 3ds max (read description). i cant tell you exactly how i did this because i can't make a tutorial for a 2 month project, but you cant make something like this without some graphic designing experience

[Jinxdd55]

Nice!

[oxzanofilms]

awesome job 5/5:)

[greengirl951]

oh my gosh. This is crazy good. a million stars!

[Astronaut14]

This is an amazing, great, first class effort and representation tribute video of Apollo 13. Well done. 5 Stars

[maniaku1206]

kindest thing ever said here. thank you very much. i apreciate it very much.

[olly7000]

can you please tell me what the name of the track is where the prelaunch checks are being issued

[maniaku1206]

as i know the tracks are unnamed. they have been recorded especially for the movie. but their composer is James Horner. Google him. I found all the soundtracks and some sound effects used in the movie on torrents.

[classic287]

Wow, this is awesome. Very entertaining........

[chellysell]

The intro has the THX music on there. Nice job, maniaku1206.

[maniaku1206]

i really like the THX sound but i modified it a bit at the beginning. thanks

[Eduardcaliman4d]

esti tare radule :) ...ma inveti si pe mine :) hehe...just got into after effects and 3ds a bit :)

[V3N0MX92]

frumos ;)

[ridgetennis]

holy freakin' crap this is amazing. best vid on youtube

[maniaku1206]

thanks alot. i really apreciate it.

[whiitboii94]

yes

this is very good

[MightySaturn5]

nice job! ....although I'm sure you probably could have made the flame length a bit longer since in a real launch it starts off about 2 times the length of the rocket and soon grows to 4 times its length

[Psilocybinaticum]

wow...i like this one ;)

[glenn2070]

This is really good

[AndrewTiffin]

Gene Kranz in Pixar style. Wow!

[olentangy74]

I love this soundtrack.

[jonmabec]
