Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

I was only volunteering myself for 3D shit, for the record, and I'm still happy to do that. If BDA wants it, though, then by BDA it shall be had.

Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

Dave: You should be able to just pump out .obj's from maya and Teague can import those (I think Lightwave can use objs....Teague?)

That's how I did all my modelling from Blender to maya in Film School.

EDIT: Aah, Teague sniped me.

Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

Looking great, Dave! I'm going to try to avoid getting the driver's seat in the shot for the interior, so we can pretend that the cockpit is in the upper space and the living area is in a lower space, like a motorboat.

My thought is to start tight on Niken seated in meditation on the floor (an excuse to keep things pretty dark) and pull back to follow him into a chair at the table, where he gets the probe report and reports to his master. If all goes well, I'll only get one wall/window with perhaps one cut. So we'll need a window in the side exterior below the cockpit.

Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

I'm back! Sorry, got sucked into a Panasonic freelance-shaped vortex for a second there. (Also why we skipped a week on FIYH episodes.)

Gonna work with Dave on the ship model here in the next couple of days. In the meantime, probe droid. We thinkin' full-on "scary spider-ish Imperial Probe Droid," like in the storyboards, or should it be something less... scary? For some reason, the thing that's been in my head this whole time was been Wheatley from Portal 2.

Zarban, thoughts?

Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

By the way, Teague, don't forget the shooting instructions. I want to do a camera test this weekend. That would be a good chance to be sure I'm giving you what you want.

Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

And have Dave provide the droid's voice with his best australian accent.

Alternative: Jimmy. Obviously.

Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

You bring up a good point. Anybody want to play Niken's master Darth Voyne? Needs a hood and some makeup or mask against a dark background. Video quality is less important because it will be comped into the hologram.

Please nobody film someone in a black cloak on a black backdrop  smile
