Star Wars: Convoy Raid

The rebels attack an Imperial supply convoy.

Heck, if I had the room, I'd build a fullscale X-Wing.

I had a GREAT time. Always wanted to fly a starfighter. :)

[@osbroj]

Great work! The graphics aren't so great, but that is totally understandable. I bet you had a good time making this! Keep it up!

[@lflank]

That's me. I play all the characters in all my vids.

[@lflank]

Was it worth the wait? ;) My next project will probably be "Predator vs Stormtroopers". I want to make some adjustments first--I'm still not happy with my lighting (I'm still getting a greenish cast, which is apparently being caused by reflected light from my greenscreen). I'm going to try some stronger backlights and/or some weaker lights on my greenscreen. Once I find a lighting combination that looks better, I'll make another movie.

He even has a British accent. :) I used software called "Speakonia" to do a text to voice for all the voices but mine. I found that by using different words and different punctuation, I could change the inflection a bit (the hardest part in the whole movie was getting Blue Three to say "Rebel scum THAT!" at the end). It actually turned out lots better than I thought it would, and the voice tones are pretty good, for a computer that had no idea what it was saying. :)

I did consider using models on a greenscreen, but CGI allows much more complex stuff. The learning curve with Blender is very steep, and I've only begun to scratch the surface of what the program is actually capable of doing.The shots in this video were pretty simple -- as I learn more, they will get more and more complex.

[@lflank]

Almost like a computer, huh. ;) I like the way it sounds. It's more alien-like, and sounds like it's coming through a translating machine or something (since the aliens don't speak English).

The third ship, the one that came after the TIE/ln fighter was a Liberator-class cruiser, wasn't it? I recognize it from Star Wars: Rebellion (PC).

[@lflank]

I got that from the old "X-Wing vs TIE Fighter" computer game CD. It's where a lot of the sounds came from, too.

[@ultimatedesingers]

I liked the Sebulba mask, but was that supposed to be Sebulba or some other dug pilot. P.S. where did you get the mask? I have been trying to find it but I have had no such luck :(

[@lflank]

I shot all the scenes myself against a greenscreen. The only stock footage I used was the explosions, which came from DetonationFilms.

[@lflank]

That's me. I play all the characters in all my vids.

[@tiamat5774]

Good video. I doubt there are many who can do better. If you want a more Star Wars feel in your space battles, use plastic Star Wars ship models stuck to a green or blue dowel rod against a green or blue screen. Thats how George Lucas did it. :)
