KITBASH SCI-FI SPACE SHIP: GREEN SCREEN FILMING

[@antonsworldofvideos8096]

Best video for me yet! I want to do something like this with my 9 year old son. Thanks!

[@createscifi]

love that !

[@cougarfarmer]

By the way you have the same laugh as a dear friend of mine who suddenly died while snorkeling last Thanksgiving. I am glad I found you. You my friend are a natural teacher.

[@createscifi]

Thx

[@mfundomzolo4498]

Antony laughs like a man who's here to bring joy to the world Thank you for the great resources

[@wingitprod]

This is what I call fun.

[@maxvoltar6242]

VERY NICE

[@RyanClarky]

This is one of those models I wish I had a chance to paint up. I just can't get enough of process videos!!

[@createscifi]

Glad you like them!

[@charlessweigert6180]

The overhead fly by with the engines lit is the cats a**!!!!!!! Excellent work. I'm doin this for sure!!!!!!!

[@sixforks6543]

You should have at least a few million subs for the content you provide.

[@occamsrayzor]

One of the tricks to filming with models with manual movement is to use as high a framerate as possible, and slowing it down in the edit for a much smoother look.

[@phoenixents1557]

This looks awesome, and way more fun than 3d model making .

[@theothertonydutch]

I do think slower shots would be better, spaceships tend to sort of "linger" even when they are going somewhere. I also think there could be more sharpness somehow, maybe this means going a bit bigger or using a different type of lens? That being said you are really making such big steps which is great fun to watch.

[@hobbyhermit66]

That 1st lens might have been a kool effect. By only having a portion of the ship in focus, it may have looked huge. Be interesting to see.

[@Ranger7Studios]

I remember my first attempt at doing this. I had a green screen and models made out of old toy parts and deodorant bottles. They were held up by fishing line and paper clips to my basement ceiling. I built a PVC track and a wooden skate dolly so I could dolly in and out my ship passes.

[@createscifi]

hahah feel ya

[@TheMovieCheerPodcast]

The shots look great, really takes me back to the original star wars trilogy models. I think using the slider has worked really well. Fantastic build and awesome video Anthony.

[@createscifi]

thx AP!

[@jasoncreech4486]

Project turned out great. I am glad I found your channel.

[@cougarfarmer]

Roll that beautiful kitbash footage one more time. You can wrap the inside of the base of the model with aluminum glue in three white LED's, then build the model and after everything is done drill tiny holes.

[@createscifi]

Ya

[@davidhanger5795]

That's awesome! Purchasing and learning the hardware and editing software for me is the biggest hurdle. Building props, costumes and make-up is the easy part.

[@johnfwater2540]

Super beautiful..

[@zejinpu9304]

This video reminds me of my childhood.

[@psnauspuff]

Love your laugh and cheerful personality!

[@Rhine23singh]

Anthony is one of them aliens from MIB !!!......nice vid

[@Amigosdamusica]

nice work dude! the process was cool to watch, keep up!

[@mikeanderson2730]

Superb renovetion guys! Price was steep, but its really cosy, good quality and you´ll can live in it for easely 10yrs. I can almost hear the rain on the sealing, good night sleep.. Good luck with you beutiful vintage wagon!

[@TheMajorActual]

Well done, as always....Now -- there's a story in there.....

[@createscifi]

thx major

[@Murcielampirez]

Bravo¡ I remember back in the day using a computer was insanely expensive; it´s weird to see how things got turned arround and now using the computer is the cheap thing to do. I´m deep into articulated action figures i will love to see a kit bashing for a fighter ship for a 6 or 7 inches action figure pretty please with sugar on the top, a million thanks.

[@homeworkpictureshq]

Great tips... Thanks my friend

[@worldwarmini3919]

WOW! I can't believe how well the end product turned out!

[@VdemiconV]

love watching your vids man hella inspiring

[@off2dawaldorf914]

You're either late or in the way hey the contrast gets better with each step as you work all that pixelicious graphic illustration it's getting more lifelike with the latest technology come on out to Hollywood

[@racspartan1]

This is a Great Channel.

[@johnprudent3216]

That came out real nice! Good job!

[@SonarFates]

Really nice series of videos. The one thing I would say though is that tracking the background images to the motion of the ship makes it appear that we (the camera) is moving around static images. I think it would work better if in the majority of shots the camera was static, the background doesn't move but the ship flies past it, and then maybe in one shot you could have the camera pan (background tracked to motion) to follow the ship. Good work though mate, keep it up :)

[@darrellpidgeon6440]

I couldn't stand it when my animation studio crashed. I will find better software, and carry on from there. Right now, the only audio software I have is Audacity, which is actually quite good. It will be a great day when I can bring it all together and get my grandkids to participate. Your rendition is awesome. Love to see a complete rendering of a storyboard of some kind, no matter how short or long. Love those light effects you put in. Thanks for the entertainment and info.

[@Mr.KellyMelvin]

This is inspiring. So I thought I’d feed the algorithm.

[@createscifi]

yum yum !

[@edgeradio8208]

I just found this channel and I already love it. Amazing work!!!

[@Seniorsgdi]

Great as usual, i do like your sense of humor when you're doing these videos, may i ask you where did you get your sounds ? are they free ? If not could you share the site where i can buy them.

[@createscifi]

freesound.org/

[@customizeyourgundam1135]

Thank you for this video! This is something I always wanted to do since I saw Star Wars as a child!

[@claudegagne2805]

Love the ship...and now for its history...

[@createscifi]

right! rouge I think

[@portland-182]

The slider really helps. The shots look great. The weathering looks spot on, not too heavy at all... Get prime lenses, they have a better depth of field, zoom lenses tend to be more shallow. Bigger models and a lot more light will help with depth of field too (maybe out doors on a non windy bright day could help?)

[@createscifi]

good tip

[@BOBXFILES2374a]

That is just amazing. You know, in past DECADES it would take a million dollar special effects studio to do what you did in a couple of hours of filming & computer "stuff!" Wow, good job!

[@xenoxxl8039]

Been waiting to see this too. Thr motion could be smoother but I understand it's a test. The model is fantastic, great job. I hope to see that ship in a futures short film.

[@createscifi]

can always be better :)

[@InterstellarModeler]

That is awesome....just discovered your channel. Very cool stuff. Always wanted to learn how to work with this stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[@DukeKeatsMusic]

Does anyone know what brand the sliding rig is? Or where i can buy. Love your videos man inspuring and helping me out a lot. Subscribed!

[@cougarfarmer]

You know you got me to thinking and I wonder what the model would look like if you lightly sandblasted it from the front only then lightly repowder with a light color. Then lightly spray paint black from the same position as the sandblaster nozzle.

[@TheJinestylez]

Your laugh is so great dude, I'm loving your videos. Can't wait to apply these to my own projects.

[@nicknameshorty]

Very cool. Love the blue engine effects. Looks so scruptious on screen!

[@davidmarawai5713]

Great work. Been waiting for this ship to fly into space.

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@WernerKaffl]

Seen the making videos and now this one... I love it! Re shooting it with DSLR, are you sure this was a tilt shift lens? It looked to me like just a standard lens with very wide open aperture. If so, you could just close down the aperture and reduce the bokeh effect. Bokeh refers to being sharp only close to the focus point, whereas everything (further away as well as closer to the lens) is out of focus. Applied in certain ways this can add a huge amount of scale and spacial perception in such a clip. Might be worth playing with it.

[@Uhfgood]

This is the kind of thing I wanted to start a KZbin channel for. Don't really have the space or equipment, however, the space may be something I'm going to rectify fairly soon.

[@ScaredDawgProductions]

Enjoying your videos, but wondering what brand slider you are using.

[@markevens]

This is so cool dude, I really get a kick out if how much you are enjoying it!

[@charlesswanson8664]

You make me want to try this.

[@MelbourneShorts11]

Hi Fella, how did you attach the green stick? drill a small hole?

[@abominablemusic]

that's really cool...

[@tony92506]

love your videos

[@MrBobDobalina1000]

great work. just wondering, have you ever seen the opening spaceship flyby in the red dwarf uk tv show? if not you should take a look

[@Ranger7Studios]

Super awesome! I would use a blue screen instead of green with a mostly white model. I would also maybe consider using a gimbal with the camera set for 120 or 60fps (for slow mo and smoother control) to do my passes on. But it looks great!

[@createscifi]

good tip

[@georgedistel1203]

Sweet! Really enjoyed seeing the completed project.

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@iscogblackscale5777]

Nice flyby.

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@sonicimperium]

Been waiting to see this one! 👍🏻🚀

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@erwinleones4319]

Wow.. nice job sir. Wish i could also do filming with my gundams in space. Dat will be awesome.. i love ur show by the way.

[@wingitprod]

I was thinking about trying this with stopmo. Any thoughts?

[@KarlRoyale]

question from someone who has never made a movie but wants to, why not have the model on the slider and keep the camera static? Wouldn't that give more movement the the finished scene? I was surprised and would like to know why you choose to do it that way. BTW I only discovered your channel a few days ago and have really been enjoying it.

[@createscifi]

its actually more control over movement & lights to do it that way. also, that's the way they did it on every movie& tv show

[@LuckyDogProductions]

How did you add the Engine glow?

[@NeilPeelParanormalPeepShow]

Chuckling sci fi man. Pity you don't live in my town. We could geek film together! 😅

[@fixstarnumber1966]

Nice video ...

[@sneakynz]

Great video really like the enthusiasm. Inspired to give it a go. With my models. Thanks for sharing. Got my sub.

[@ColinDYoung]

Great stuff, Anthony! It's been fun to see your progress. I spend alot of time on my computer processing my photography, so I feel you there. Who knew at the Yale Cabaret all those yers ago that we'd both end up spending so much time behind the camera? Looking forward to seeing your next project! Keep up the good work, brother! - Colin

[@andygorman858]

There are some great shots in there, the model looks amazing and the aztec painting gives it real depth and believability! What do you find you get better video results from...the DSLR camera or the other camera in the holder? Whee did you get your green screen from?

[@createscifi]

I like the phone cam for this honestly, green screen on Amazon

[@andygorman858]

createscifi awesome! I think the quality of the phone cams these days are making creation of effects, and pretty much filming in general, far more accessible and putting greater creativity in the individuals hands than ever before. These are great times to create SF and I’m glad I started following your channel!

[@northwesternbelle]

Totally awesome. Thanks for sharing your learning with us! It makes me want to kit bash :D

[@gvn8er]

So good. Can't wait till I get time to try it

[@createscifi]

yes!

[@wolfmannoon]

Awesome

[@zakari7-one-1]

This dudes is the JoergSprave of sci-fi creations, especially with that laugh.

[@martindahms8161]

I am curious about your great project. How do you have make the digital lights for the engines?

[@createscifi]

those re simple lens flares motion tracked to the engine. I cover that in one of the linked videos

[@revzillo]

Really well done , it looks less like a model when you see it like this 👍

[@drigrid]

Very inspiring and cool. Try slowing down the shot however. When shooting miniatures slowing down the footage adds "weight" to the model. Also, you can try to move the lights along with the camera, to make it look more like the model moves, because the shadows change.

[@createscifi]

copy that

[@TheBinkyBlue]

Nice job! I love it and enjoyed it.

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@63echo]

This guy is the Orson Welles of steampunk sci fi

[@RocketPunchHero1]

Looks pretty good. However, shooting at a high rate of speed with longer passes; helps sell the immensity of miniature work. I know its harder to do with a cellphone but it is possible if you're patient enough.

[@createscifi]

copy that

[@TheMichaellathrop]

That's awesome but I'm curious if it would feel like there was more weight to the model if it was less brightly lit(the model not the green screen).

[@createscifi]

maybe i'll try

[@automotiverenderings]

fun. doing stuff in a few days that would have taken weeks 40 odd years ago

[@createscifi]

It amazes me

[@privatejoker5062]

but what if you want the spaceship to look like it's moving?

[@Andulvar]

I'd probably do this that in Lumberyard or Unreal since those are the mediums I understand more. Also that way I could add better lighting effects (film grain on anything makes things look great and hides any imperfections). Only issue will be is that I'll need to get a 3d camera, but I was going to get one anyways for making my own textures. For now I'd just use a normal camera and some of the ways to capture things in 3d.

[@createscifi]

ok

[@atticus-rex]

Niiiiiice!

[@cougarfarmer]

What did you name the ship?

[@jmalmsten]

A couple of tips: I noticed you filmed the greenscreen stuff in 30 fps. If you want it to be in 24 fps but the camera can't and you don't mind a bit of a slowdown, then go into the clips interpret footage options and you can set the playback fps to whatever you want (I would set it to 24 and do a 24fps timeline). I say this because I saw some pretty jerky playback motion that leads me to believe that playback speeds were mixed in a strange way. (Or it's just my tablet acting up, but the footage of yourself didn't have that thing going on) Also, to sell the size of the models you need depth of field, and lots of it. Right now you got models that go in and out of focus while the background is in perfect focus. That really makes it feel like models cut out. But for that you need to stop down the camera to get the whole thing in focus and probably pulling focus during the shot to keep the whole thing in shot. That'll make the exposure lower. To combat it you need to get the same amount of photons onto the sensor as when the aperture is wide open. And for that you have two options, either A) getting HUGE amount of lights (ILM often filmed space explosions and stuff in broad daylight for example and got pretty dark pictures because of how stopped down their lenses had to be and the high framerates needed for slowing explosions down) . B) Or you can get a slower shutter. But to keep the motion blur at a 180 degree as is standard you need to slow the fps down. Remember to also slow the camera motion down by the same amount and keep things more steady since you'll see all movements much more pronounced. But you can then quadruple the photons by filming at 6fps with 1/12 shutter and play back at 24fps versus shooting at 24fps with 1/48 shutter and get tons of more DoF of the model when adjusting the aperture to match. C) that tilt shift lens you mention can help too as they were originally built to put the focus plane at odd angles to fake a wider DoF. But you need to align things so that they are in that plane of focus. D) all of the above. :) But damn. I am impressed at what is done with such modest means anyway. :D You have my sub.

[@dianastasny9338]

That is awesome, however I think your lighting, while realistic, isn't quite convincing. Might try a re edit with the contrast turned down a bit for a touch more of the dramatic effect. Also the engine glow is really bright suggesting high speed rather than a slow cruise. Keep the color, spot on BTW, but maybe dial back the flare a bit. Sometimes, less is more 😉 just my two cents. In any case, you've got my subscription!

[@fakshen1973]

Something to add to your SFX can be jet and even propeller/piston engines. I wouldn't use them as-is but experiment with repitching them as well as processing them through effects such as flanging, phasers, etc. I did some of that with this resounding from a few years ago.. sorry for the low vid quality. It's not a complete reworking of all the sounds in the video but take note of the fighters. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5KUmpucj5pgi7M

[@modit.]

I love every project it's something I have been inspired by others the other day to do looking on youtube finding how to make a starship for my song over on soundcloud, I am brand new to it, but I have begun my first project, it's a space helmet, but I also want a starship scene video with a immersive other world planet scene to end on so the movie can begin with the helmet in a starfield background poping out at you as song begins then the mid scene to be space flight of a kit bash starship the end trekking through the planet surface to a climactic alien life form found sort of vibe, I am really gaining a grood amount of hard to find info on edit and production from you, I am going to try to buy after effects 6 cheap and have a bash I will link my project eventually and some snaps for you, Just added leds to the helmet but I can't figure out how to cut scraps to cover glue around the obscure helmet opening, can you possibly give us a video on how to shape and stencil for such a situation please. But man I love every show you do every kit bashing project is cool and heavily and thoughtfully hand crafted to perfection and I am enjoying mine to it's rewarding and great fun.
