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.
Teague, if your down for the 3d stuff have at it. I can maybe find time right now but ill have much more once we get arpund to comp time.
Teague, if you can work with Maya I can start some low poly block outs for you
I can work with .OBJs.
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.

Darth Niken's Ship. V1 for review.
Cockpit profile is being revised to match front projection.

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.
in-progress of v.1 to look at volumes / shapes.
Feedback is always appreciated, Teague - yell out as soon as you want me to send the .obj's over. If you're good with me continuing to add detail and refine, I'm happy to.

Penciled-in for July 26th & 27th.
It's not a perfectly clean date so call me 50% likely for now.
I'm gonna be busy until Sunday on this sudden gig, so keep goin.' Save a copy at every major step of the way, but, otherwise, knock 'em dead.

Niken's costume is in, and both cloaks are in.
My Audio-Technica ATR-6550 shotgun mike arrived, but now I find that I can't record from it without an adapter. It would have been a pittance to include one, and their customers would be able to use it with any device, but as it is, it won't work with a combined earphone/microphone 3.5mm jack (three black stripes, which you'll find on most phones, tablets, and many laptops) because it's only stereo (two black stripes). I believe it will also work with a mono jack (one black stripe), but with the combo I can still plug in earphones.
EDIT: NOPE, still doesn't work, at least with iPad/iPhone. Works fine on the Canon Rebel. Hmmm. Have to try mono adapter.

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?

I was thinking the same thing. Altho my default was the probe droid from ESB, ours could be much simpler, even funny. It's the Igor of robots.
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.

I know Teague had his thoughts, but I'm just going to lay out some concept art for different probe droids, from many sources, just as food for thought:
A render from Fallout 3's Mr. Handy robot. It is more reminiscent of the Imperial Probe droid, but the multi eye pieces gave it more of a rough around the edges look
Just some thoughts.

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 
I've a cloak-ish robe and a green screen.
Can you glower? He should glower.
Tom's got a great voice. I seconded this idea!

Please disregard. Clear separation, good quality camera and lighting, please.
