Here is where I will post sneak peeks and such of my upcoming film.

Here is the summary:
Set in the late 25th century. A man without a name, simply known as The Commander, is recruited by NESO (The National Exploration of Space Organization) to lead a reconnaissance mission to another galaxy known as Andromeda, where they find more than they expected.

A good half of it is filmed and about a 7th of it is edited, i'll be making the music for it once I get Pro Scores.

Here is the trailer:

Thanks mini/smile

wait I spelled it wrong?    Evans---FummiProductions     (that is a copy and paste from the actual cast list) It looks exactly like your username, how did I spell it wrong? also what would you like to be credited as in the credits of the movie? real name and channel name or just channel name? (example) Hutch wants to be credited as "HutchProDucktions" but my friend aaron is being credited as "Aaron Good (Lisaisanut)" that's his real name and channel name, would you like to be credited by just your channel name or your real name and channel name?

and the CGI is for the spaceship and futuristic city shots and a couple of stunts Deadlock does where CGI is rather unavoidable mini/smile

Re: Galactic Recon

I like the 3d work but you should try to add a smooth filter or somethings to it.

BISCUIT!

I use something called Poster Card, my parents found a bunch of it at a department store about a year ago.

Re: Galactic Recon

Hi all, sorry i havn't done any sneak peeks lately, but my work computer got a virus (Note to self: be cartefull about minecraft servers in the future) and so i have been on my crummy laptop lately. Anyway i THINK i got my good computer fixed but i wanna run a few more scans first just to make sure. so even though it might be awhile til the next sneak peek, when i do more sneak peeks i'll be sure there is alot of sneak peeks. anyway, i got some more of the sets for the movie built so HOPEFULLY when my good computer is fixed i can continue filming very fast.

If any of you have any questions about the project, be sure to ask mini/smile and be sure to subscribe to my channel (highmountainstudios) for even more sneak peeks and such.

Re: Galactic Recon

Hey guys, sorry it's been so long since I posted here, been busy, anyway I filmed a few more scenes, and here are some pictures from them, I got to try out several new effects that I had never tried before in this scene



An entirely green screen background, and with a shiny light yellow Lego head it was a pain to work with mini/XD

First time I tried action essentials 2 on a area with a lot of green screen.
http://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q799/BrickFIlmerHMS/Image91_zpsc82dace1.jpg


A hologram test, it's more complicated than it looks because it moves a bit
http://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q799/BrickFIlmerHMS/Image92_zps38fee1bc.jpg

Let me know what you guys think (btw all these are work in progress mostly)

Recon will probably come out either late this year or early next year

Well I have about 15 minutes of it edited with about 10 more minutes worth filmed, it really depends on real life, a lot of stuff is still going on and i'm still waiting on lines from the guy who plays Chef, I hoped to finish it before the year ends but currently it looks more like a late January release mini/smile

Re: Galactic Recon

You shouldn't put so much contrast into your films. only do it if you have a high Megapixel count camera. You remove all that detail from your minifigures.

Judging from the trailer there doesn't really seem to be a whole lot of animation. Mostly just mouths animated onto them You should challenge yourself and add the mouth movement while they are moving.

A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

They actually do move in most of the shots that they are talking (i just was to lazy to edit e'm into the trailer lol) i'm going to make a new trailer that has more animation in it and a few clips from the action scenes mini/smile

Re: Galactic Recon

What camera are you using because you have a lot of film grain in the photos.

Logitech quickcam 9000 I think it's called, the last few pictures being grainy is a side effect of vegas green screen
