@@The-Game-Master Absolutely right. The reason Disney can’t make good Star Wars is that they can’t help but decide on the intersectional traits of the characters first and then try to write stories around them afterwards. It’s the definition of putting the cart before the horse. The characters come off flat and contrived, their existence in the world is thin and unbelievable, and as a result no one cares about their story.
Not enough contrast, too bright, too much fog for compesating missing landscape details. Looks extremely fake. Also compositing isn't that good, the blurriness seems unrealistic.
@@TechnoMinarchist Actually not, Acolyte isn't a good show, but the effects are good, mostly because they use real sets, so not that much is CGI, really.
Fog, dust, and smoke are some of the easiest ways to improve the look of scene because it covers up any mistakes or low effort attempts. That's not a diss, it's a really great trick to use to make a difficult task easy. _But_ it _is_ only a trick and you can't use it all the time unless you choose to exclusively work on scenes that take place in such conditions (which is incredibly limiting). There are a lot of great tools public ally available that people can use to create Hollywood level scenes or even full films, but this video seems to suggest that it's far easier and straight forward than it is. But overall, great video.
So what you’re saying is all we need is a ton of dedicated fans, a bit of money, and a good lawyer, and we can make the Knights of the Old Republic series and the Yuuzhan Vong War trilogy ourselves?
When homeboy learns about EXR, crypto matte, material matte, Z depth, motion vectors & all the other goodies it comes with, you are gonna have a blast! Those extra channels gives you tons and tons of optons that makes compositing faster & easier 😎👍
@CTZN1 or you need to learn about colorspace or you need better comp skills , either way you start to realize starwars quality is not as cheap as you thinking
@@George901210 yahh, I still confused though, like, I'm recording with my phone, I don't know what color space my phone uses, or is it sRGB? Or rec 709...?
That was AWESOME! This means it's time for fans to begin making feature-length Star Wars films ( I mean really good ones - heard of star trek Axanar? ) The studios aren't going to do it. Looks like viewers will have to.
@@puterboy2 YESSSS!!!! There was someone trying to make Heir to the Empire with old computer game software a bit ago, but the techonology has gotten so much better, probably it could be really awesome. Throw in some lightsaber choreography (Mike Starwalker channel), and adapt the Thrawn trilogy to script, and the fans could make an excellent Thrawn Trilogy/Duology....
Tricks you are using are so ingenious, like using greenscreen outside for actual sunlight that made everything so realistic, subject and background doesn't look seperated. Then that footprints on the sand.... I am subscribing wanna learn more....
It's amazing but definitely can't be done by anyone. Most people I know have problem with Microsoft Word so until you can make a star wars movie all just from phone, nah 😅 But your shot looks great, pretty good lighting.
I spend years as a fan of Andrew Kramer and Sam. Loved going through the tutorials. Glad to see it still gets a mention today. VideoCopilot was mega. Great video by the way. And yeah, I can them AT ATs note a-t a-t😅
I had seen some of your videos but just never subscribed. After being recommended this video... I instantly knew I had made a mistake. You've earned a new subscriber ✨
This is great! I really like the composition and storytelling going on here. It's cool to see one of my models being used in a fun and educational project like this :) Keep up the good work!
Some unsolicited tips for optimization: Put the object in a collection and instance the collection and turn the collection off, you then don’t need to hide the object in your scene under the geometry. You can get a “dust pass” from rendering the Z pass (feel free to combine with fractal noise). Once you generate the footprint displacement, render that bad boy out into an animated normal map so you don’t have to render your scene with all those polygons on that plane when most of that detail is going to be barely visible in the final shot, the normal map can even feed into the displacement channel.
him: "I went outside and filmed.." me: he went outside?! omg! him: shows fenced back yard. me: oh... "outside"... maybe we are not that different. him: "cause I have no friends and neither do you" me: soulmate! subscribed! j/k love the channel!
LOVE IT! Subscribed. The content is great and so is your humor. More importantly, the TIMING (and length) of the humor is spot-on. I see a lot of creators over-use humor and it tends to get in the way of the content (and sometimes doubles the length of the video), but your humor was just right and added to the enjoyment (instead of distracting from the content). Kudos on this. Can't wait to dig into more of your content.
bro manged to pack in genuinely funny humor and knowledge at the same time I am now going to observe your every move my friend, there is no escape, u must continue to create great content, or I will make an army in blender and make them come for you 🤗
Under rated channel, you’re jokes are perfect and editing is amazing, audio quality still needs work but hey atm who cares, we can still hear you great and the content is good…I feel a channel binge coming
Your videos are both entertaining and educational, offering humor alongside insightful information. I consistently find them enjoyable to watch. Keep up the excellent work!
This is nuts how good this looks my friend! I make Lego videos for my channel and want to incorporate animation and VFX using blender. I still have a long way to go but if they can look half as good as this I’ll be stoked! 😍 Great presenting and editing style too. Nicely done 👌🏼
You are a talented young man. Can you, though, make the saber effect look like the SW version, where the light comes up from the handle rather than on all at once?
Superb video, your style make it really easy to follow what you are doing and, more importantly, why you are doing it (IMHO this is much better than videos which simply provide a list of instructions)
So CGI is simple but time consuming and really its all about knowing all the buttons and functions in the software? Good job on the clip. Did the Jedi live?
Soooo how do I go about putting your name forward to working on anything star wars in the future !!! Brilliant!! Subscribed!! May the force be with you!!
That looked amazing and I'm guessing it probably took around 2-3 hours to do which is amazing. The only criticism I have is the colour grading of you (the actor) looks a little whitewashed in certain shots, especially inside the dust cloud. Brightness/contrast, I think, needs turning down just a tad.
A really, really, REALLY, good description video of the process. I wish that I had time to go back and learn some of these programs. I remember back when Blender was the new kid on the block and so very basic that it was almost a joke. Now it's nice to see how far it's come. Everything looks great, but as a real critique, (the type of critique that I learned back in art school) is that the image of you doesn't blend that well with all the CG elements that you created. And I think the reason for that lies in the detail range of your physical camera. I noticed that your forehead starts to overexpose losing detail when other items in the shot maintain their exposure range. Regardless......... I can't do what you just so I'm envious. But I do work in film lighting, so I notice stuff like that.
@@410Expedition If only this were the case. But copyright law is so broken no one will ever be able to create fan works of any significant scale without being sued into oblivion by Disney. Who is mainly to blame for the broken copyright law we have ended up with.
This is really cool, but I would love to see some in-depth tutorials instead of it being so quick. A noob like me needs step by step! thanks though this is awsome 😃
I always see people saying "The vfx and costumes look so Fan-Made" nowadays but has anyone maybe thought that fan-films are just getting that much better they're starting to look like hollywood level movies?
as an apsiring film director and a star wars fan I want to make high quality star wars fan films just to spit into disney's face that we can make better stories than them especially after the horrible Acolyte show came out. Maybe you could help me out with the vfx if I ever do make a star wars fan film but it'll probably be a non profit film
@@MadDeuceJuice Yes it it, the story's pacing ins't consistent and doesn't actually intrigue you with the mysteries. They disrespected Anakin's story of how he is supposed to be the only one to ever be born from the Force, and they have the dumb woke agenda messages in the story instead of focusing on the actual story which the woke agenda message doesn't even align with George Lucas's original intent with star wars
I have 1 friend but I only see him once a month. So I am almost friendlest haha. Yea I never go out that much cause of digital art projects. Good video thanks for this

yo the foot prints one part is just amazing I was finding it for months and lost hope. But you gave the hope back. May the force be with you.
Would you say it was - your LAST HOPE? ;) XD :3
The intro to that part was risky though. I almost skipped 5 minuttes ahead to avoid the paid sponsor segment for "feet" 😂🤣
some could say you found a "new hope"
So what you’re saying is all we need is a ton of dedicated fans, a bit of money, and a good lawyer, and we can make the Knights of the Old Republic series and the Yuuzhan Vong War trilogy ourselves?
Yes!!! KOTOR has so many interesting storylines, there's so much human interest and people sorting out their family issues and such.
Why not?
a reaally good lawyer
This is a good idea. I’ve always wanted to be a part of making a Star Wars short series so I’m down!
I volunteer as tribute (editor, prop maker, and some VFX)

Yes anyone can make Star Wars now. Except Disney
