Topic: Star Wars: Invincible Rising Season 2 - Production Log

After nearly 5 years of planning and several months of pre-production, I'm finally beginning to work on the second season of my ongoing series, Invincible Rising.

For those of you unaware (and that's probably a lot of you guys since I only joined here fairly recently), Invincible Rising is a Star Wars fan series complete with my own original characters and story. Nothing is taken from the films other than the setting.

Speaking of which, this season revolves around the team aboard the star destroyer Invincible receiving an urgent distress signal that may be connected to one of their old adversaries. The story is pretty character-focused and will have a moral point to it. As for the content, it'll be pretty PG, nothing worse than an average episode of the Clone Wars.

Season 1 can be viewed here:

It turned out kind of meh, but I'm taking into account the things that didn't go so well and focusing on improving them for this season.


I would like to start filming sometime in May June, and until then I'll be working on the voice acting and doing some test animations. All I have to show you right now is this one test photo:

The episodes for this season will be animated at 15 fps and be in 720p. I'm hoping for it to be released sometime in the fall.

I'm really seeking to improve my brickfilming skills in every aspect, so any comments or critiques will be massively appreciated. mini/smile

Thanks! I'm glad to know you liked it! mini/smile


Mini Update:

I haven't really made any progress in terms of voice acting these past two weeks. But, I did finally got around to ordering a new remote for my camera, so I'll start putting out some test animations soon.

I look forward to finally getting this thing started!

Ok guys it's time for an actual update.

Still haven't made any progress on voice acting, but I'm hoping to start recording some of my lines this week. At this rate, filming probably won't start until June.

Speaking of filming, I've done a few test animations that can be viewed here:

Some things turned out better than others, so your feedback is really appreciated! mini/smile

Nice job with this series so far! Though I've kinda grown tired of the Clone focused stories (take no offence) but your story and characters actually kept me interested. Also your animation and effects are well done. I look forward to seeing more from you. Keep it up! mini/smile

Thank you, I really appreciate the encouragement!


Also, if anybody's interested in voice acting for this season, there's a casting call up!

Re: Star Wars: Invincible Rising Season 2 - Production Log

The voice acting is mostly finished, so today, I finally started animating. The one scene I've done so far turned out pretty well, but it's all dialogue so none of the frames are anything particularly special. I'll start posting more photos once I get more scenes done.

Re: Star Wars: Invincible Rising Season 2 - Production Log

I have been animating on-and-off these past few weeks, and so far everything's turned out pretty great. Right now I'm working on a few shots that take place on the bridge of the Invincible, and I thought I'd share this!

The background isn't final, it's just a placeholder for until I edit some space battles.
