More handy retorts...

^^ Thanks for posting that. Fantastic artwork.

^ LOL!

a literal handful of films

 Those must have been some very large hands... or very short films.

Out of curiosity how much he asking for it?

I believe 2k.

 Pish. There's no demand for 2K and there never will be.

But will he still have the replacement leg?

A first rough test of some concepts for Luke's view of the pursuit...

https://vimeo.com/130046913

It's rough as hell. No animated laser blasts yet. The matte on the binoculars is a bit wonky. It needs extra info overlays and crosshairs etc. Plus I'll pan and zoom the shot around as if Luke is focusing in on the action. I might even try going in and out of focus.

Thoughts?

Uprising is a 'Kabam' game.

So it's probably designed to be wildly addictive, free and fun at first and then when you are hooked like a desperate junkie, you are required to move your entire life savings over to Kabam's account, to be able to keep playing the game. Think I'll avoid it. Being a Star Wars property, it's probably twice as addictive.

There's a great shot of the underside of a star destroyer (three actually, but only one that you could use) in TESB when Han says, "We can still outmaneuver them."

 Thanks that shot was perfect. Just need a Blockade runner shot now.

Really struggling with imagining how to make this shot look and move. I'm trying some things and seeing how it pans out.

Lenny Kravitz

Kravitz is the black Bryan Adams; awesome in the beginning, he proved to be a one trick pony incapable of any real progression. That he chooses to collaborate with talentless fucks like Dreck ... opps, I meant Drake ... certainly doesn't help any.

I agree up to the point last year where he released...

The Chamber

...it's so catchy! I'd much rather he was doing that than acting.

The actual subject of this thread doesn't live up to title's billing :-(

That take-off shot is cooking! My compliments!

 Thanks :-)

You know that shot of Luke gazing up at the Tantive IV being shot at (In the treadwell deleted scene)? It's pretty much some twinkling lights. Well I was wondering what that shot would look like if it was finished. But I'm having trouble visualising it.

It would be like this...

...but with the bellies of the two ships I guess.

Anybody know of a film where somebody is watching a space battle from the ground? So I can get an idea of what this could look like.

FYI: Scientific realism is not really a consideration ;-)

Also some shots of the underside of both a stardestroyer and blockade runner would be handy.

Star Wars: Uprising Announce Trailer

^ Trailer for game set between ROTJ and TFA. Probably raises as many questions as it answers about the field of play going into TFA.

^ Finally.

^ Indeed...

Or a badly fitted bra.

The concept art on that indiegogo page does make it look like it will suck.

Also...

The SW Technical Journal has a very detailed top-down shot of the cockpit (ESB). I used it as my main refrence to scratchbuild the cockpit once. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: Here it is...

This will prove useful no doubt...

Buses will never take people where routes don't allow.

The free-Taxis I suggest could.

no corporation will even consider this.

Absolutely, in reality it would be impossible to implement for many reasons. You'd have to first ban cars, then tax the now carless people, then invest that in the transport system, then in a few years it would be up and running. In the meantime there would be economic collapse, rioting in the streets, a few small wars etc. But if you had a magic-wand, it could work.

I'd transport most modern mainstream "musicians" directly into the heart of the sun.

On board a jet black Disaster Area stuntship? Right? Right?

Trident said:

what about grocery shopping and stuff? How do you lug all that stuff home?

Use a free taxi or bus. Due to the huge potential tax revenue, we wouldn't be talking about one bus every hour. It would be as many, and as often as needed.

Trident said:

how would people get out of a small town when they wanted? I guess we'd need more regular trains.

Lots more trains. All that money that was previously spent on lumps of metal that just sit in your driveway empty and motionless for 90% of the day, rusting, depreciating in value and costing you money, would fund an amazing network of advanced superfast trains. At a fraction of the cost of what we were paying before.

Trident said:

Would you replace them with something else like trams or trains or buses or would it just be bicycles for everyone?

Would companies still be allowed trucks to make deliveries?

 All of those.

A small fraction of the vast sums of money we would have previously paid for cars, their maintenance, and fuel costs, could be taken instead as tax revenue. This money could then provide a universal transport system, free at the point of need (Within "sensible" limits, agreed in parliament).

Also, given that the roads would not be congested with millions of single person cars (Just thousands of multi-person buses and public-free taxis), the workforce who would normally spend a portion of their day in traffic jams would become more productive. Transport of goods and services would also be swifter and more efficient.

A workforce would also be required to drive the new public transport vehicles, to build them and maintain them. Providing jobs. The public would have more money (Which they would normally spend on cars) to put back into the economy.

Oh... and the environment etc.

Yes, we could instead trade in dried leaves. How about something like three major deciduous forests buying one peanut.
