Hey Guys,

UPDATE!! I just did an interview for a gaming news website about the video.. this is just getting weird! lol

http://www.idigitaltimes.com/elite-...mproved-camera-suite-create-short-film-589804

I JUST HIT 10K SUBS!! WOOHOO THANKS TO ALL MY SUBS!


In celebration, I have decided to do a feature animation using the new 2.3 Camera System


Its not perfect, there are some continuity issues, obvious plot holes, the voice acting is REALLY BAD, and my attempts to create another character and differentiate it using a Russian accent are just laughable. Sorry to any of my Russian viewers, I was kinda stuck on how to voice another character.


Everything was done using the 2.3 camera from my own perspective. It means there was no help, no extra ships or other commanders helping me with shots.


Was this a lot of work? YES.. I MEAN REALLY YES.. but it was fun, and I enjoyed it.


And while the new camera system really allows me to unleash my creative potential, it is still rather limited with what it can do, such as no track target, and a 250m range when on a planet.
I could have done a LOT more using other commanders as actors as I filmed, but I was unable to get anyone in the time frame that I had.


For my next video I will see if I can get some commanders to help me out and take it to a completely different level.
Anyway, I hope you still enjoyed the video.


I want to thank everyone who has subscribed to my channel. I really appreciate it so much. It means a lot.

OMG! OMG! You're not leaving us hanging there, are you?????? Yikes.

Great work. Loved it. Suspense = 10+
THIS is the camera work we've been dying for.

Question: How do you get your character's mouth to move in synch with your voice? Is that supermarionation? If so, Gerry Anderson would be proud of you. :)

That was pretty good, if you're not happy with the voices how about requesting some auditions? you'd probably get flooded with offers, but might find some gems.

That was totally awesome. There is no telling what you could achieve if you had all the resources you mentioned.

Please don't let us hanging in suspense.

"Picture if you will... Vindicator Jones, a salvager and adventurer such as you would find plying among the spaceways, with an Anaconda ship and a faithful if somewhat sarcastic crew. On most days, a distress call might mean payday or a chance at heroism. But today is not most days. Vindicator Jones has just taken a Witch-Space jump... to the Twilight Zone."

Should have it sponsored by Compare the Meerkat - "Get ship insurance - simples" :p

Good stuff! A really cool little vignette story with some nice film work. If the bleeding edge of Elite filmmaking is already this good we are in for years of fun filming ahead.

great job, as always, but this cam is definitely a new level!

a hint: turn off the in-game clock, it can easily make some continuity errors sneak in :D

spoiler alert (ignore if you haven't looked at the vid yet):
eg., just before the ship disappears the reading is about 4:00 in the srv. minutes later, when the cmdrs is staring around looking for it at the spot, it reads 2:00 :)
