Mechwarrior: Desolation Student Film

This film is my Graphic Communications senior capstone final project. It took me the better part of 9 months to complete the modeling, texturing, and animation. The Mechs are derived from the Mechwarrior Universe. I hope you enjoy the film. Leave some feedback. Thank you.

Clearly something that would have taken a good deal of work to make, only things I have to pick on are you used too many Clan 'Mechs for both sides, the acting and voice work was a little cheesy (as expected for this kinda thing though), and you gave the defenders what I would call "Spartan-syndrome", aka overpowered ;) Not bad work though, just wish there was a way to persuade some big filmmakers to make a big-budget gritty MechWarrior/BattleTech movie.

@Kerenskyz15 Thank you for the comments. Indeed Spartan-syndrome is a good diagnosis haha. It took me about 9 months to model, texture, animated and edit everything together, but it was a fun time. Having a big budget film would be sweet, as long as they didn't find a way to screw it up, like most awesome sci-fi franchises.

Only real gripe i have is that the PPCs shoot "man-made" lightning, not lightning balls. Otherwise, you did a fair amount of justice to the series.

@Siolfor80 Thanks for watching and the comment. I also agree, if I had more time when I made this I would have made the PPC's way cooler.

overall very good but one minor technical issue. Jumpjets are run through pedals.

@TheJhouston ah, I guess I didn't know that. Thank you for watching and the clarification.

This is not bad, the acting is a touch hammy but that makes it funny. But that battle was devastating for the defenders it take months to get there mechs in working order even with the clan salvage.

Need more work on the physics and feeling of weight, But nice for a student jobby. Keep at it.

@nubbtard HAHAHAHA. Well-done. Yeah, the cheese did actually add to it. But it was really quite enjoyable. Hope you guys got a good grade on the project.
