OK, that makes sense. But, why did Gareth say, "Yes, that was the WuzzupRook Separatist Landing Craft" , when we never saw one?

by Garet6 on Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:37 pm

At least i got something right! Razz

Sorry, meant boarding craft.

That's funny. Squad 42 VI is going to be great! Why not incorporate the 402nd in a way?

It's short, the title work is iffy, the CGI is rough-hewn; but it's better than nothing. The point of this type of trailer is to mystify the insufferable YouKiddie crowds, and whet his followers' appetites for the main course of VI. It's purpose is not to astound, but to create interest and be "better than nothing". When looked upon in that light, it's fairly good Wink

.

My only complaints are that the CGI could have a little higher fidelity, and the title effects could be just a bit more impressive. A shimmering hologram with that text displayed on a black background would have been better, in my opinion Razz

.

I look forward to seeing some more footage in the later trailers!

And PD, you are being an a-s-s-h-o-l-e. You don't need to upbraid and berate people to say you don't like what they've done. You want to log off, and rethink your posting habits. Because the only thing that "sucks" or is a "piece of crap" has been you for the greater portion of this month and the prior.

Thank you for some actually useful criticism Sial, other than just flat out abuse! That's not the best CGI I admit - some of the space scenes I've been working on look alot better, and yes, the titles after look crap. I was using a differant software when making this trailer, but I'll probably use shiny over-the-top big 3D lettering for the next trailer. Razz

Shiny and over the top sounds good to me... Wink

The trailer isn't, in all honesty, bad. The CGI doesn't scream OMFG THAT'S SUCH AWFUL CRAP to me, nor do the boarding crafts.

Though I must ask, what business have Boarding Crafts boarding a... planet? Razz

I know, it's weird. Razz

You'll see, I think it's pretty cool.

I think it looks rather cool garet. I like the pods burning up as the enter the atmosphere very realistic. Well thats what it looked like was happening as my computer is lagging. One thing I think was awesome was the lego city or what ever it was being shown from so far up. (I swear if I totally screwed this comment up and I am talking about stuff that wasn't in this trailer I will shoot myself.

I concur sial. PD has been rather a$$holeish lately. I think he needs to think about what he types before he types it. Or I will start to report his rude comments.

Finally! Somebody getting yelled at for the posting habits other than me! Razz

But, I actually think that this looks great so far! I think that they skyline is a bit too low but the effects are awesome. Great work as usual Gareth.

by mazz on Thu Jul 16, 2009 5:26 pm

The CGI is great the background is not the best but it is better then what I could do Wink

. Will the movie be in all CGI?

by Garet6 on Thu Jul 16, 2009 5:28 pm

Nope, it's about 50/50.

by Clonecommando007 on Thu Jul 16, 2009 5:39 pm

This is just what a teaser should be, a short burst of intruguing film. May I mention that the audio was matched perfectly to the appearance of the pods? Great work!

by Garet6 on Fri Jul 17, 2009 4:52 am

Thank you CC! I promise the next one will be a bit more interesting though.

Will they get nicknames in this one?

Yup! I've got my best man on the job of making them up too. Wink

If you need any storyline help, can you PM me? I'm stuck at home all day, and I want to do something.

Thanks for the offer, but I've got that all sorted.

by -Aki- on Fri Jul 17, 2009 7:05 am

Okay.

Will there be another sepratist leader?

by Garet6 on Fri Jul 17, 2009 7:07 am

-Aki- wrote:Will there be another sepratist leader?

There will, and he'll play a MASSIVE part in it. It's my own character, and he's awesome. Razz

by -Aki- on Fri Jul 17, 2009 7:07 am

Is he another droid or an organic?
