Honsetly, I'd keep it animated CG even with a big budget. Getting people in 1G to not look like they're in 1G is hard. Getting CG animated characters to look good is easier as long as there's a distinct art style.
Not too far off from warfare on Earth today. There's a whole lot of sitting around doing nothing, but when the fight does kick off, it's some of the most intense stuff you'll see in your life.
For anyone unaware (If you're a fan of series like this, I assume you know your solar system, but just to be safe...) Vesta is an almost dwarf planet in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is the second largest object in the Asteroid belt, second to Ceres. You can tell the difference between them because Ceres is large enough that it's gravity squishes it into a sphere, while Vesta is too small and remains oblong and mishappen.
I would be suprised that a drawf planet can sustain any kind of meaningful power. There must be some resource very important out there that can force other planets to trade life-support material with them.
@@howardkong8927 Vesta and Ceres probably sport large accumulations of volatiles, especially water. For an economy that has gotten to the point of mining the Belt, Ceres and Vesta are probably good places to house the people, while metal-rich Psyche would be the main production hub
Gravity, not "its gravity". Gravity is a result, not a force. An object with mass doesn't generate, or create gravity as an attractive force. A mass bends/curves space-time and objects moving in a straight line curve or "fall" into the curved space. Like a heavy bowling ball sitting on a soft mattress.
I don't think there is a booster, it might have just been drifting and waiting for sensor trip or remote command. So it's just the whole missile, with an inert warhead as a KKV.@@kahlzun
This absolutely kicks ass. Awesome NASApunk realism, and out-Expanses the damn Expanse. Well done. Concepts & design is thoughtful. Radiators... goddamn radiators! And not on the RDA VentureStar from Smurfs in Spac.. I mean Avatar. The KEW interceptors, taking after the famous videos of the real US KKV/MKV hover testing and rapid RCS pulses. Just a damn IR telescope and small thrusters. A couple km/s closing velocity, and Sir Issac does the rest. The primary booster staging of the weapon was excellent. You use subtler "how it would look" shots, composition, & framing, instead of obvious expository arrangement to explain exactly what's happening to a low-info viewer. Not pandering to lowest common denominator... is beautiful. Thank you.
The muted sound design makes everything way, way more chilling. It's like the Expanse's earlier episodes walked so this video could run. You've distilled the idea down really well!
The muted sound, the minimalist style, the realistic ship design, and the brutal speed and finality of the attack - a one-punch kill that hits too fast to be properly perceived - makes this short really chilling. The prelude to the impact, where the pilot can only hopelessly run the engines, and sit watching the screens, then the near-instant end... savage indeed. Very well done.
@@radilmahbub4690 Wouldn't be surprised. In space there's no drag so you can go hella fast, and weight is even more critical than in earth. And as E=mc^2, well, you can see the obvious choice.
Had the same thought, but it really depends on the specifics. Looks like a civilian ship with centrifugal living rings for long term accommodation. Probably low acceleration drives, I'd say at most 200-250mg, about the same as a bus braking. So if the ring sits at above 0.5g you would even be able to walk around under thrust, although it will be like walking across a 30ish degree slope, although in lower gravity.
Also, just to add my thoughts: there's really nothing they could have done there. This is a civilian ship, no PD weaponry, no fire controls, no high acceleration drives and even if the ship was designed for thrust gravity which is unlikely in that setting (nuclear thrusters still require propellant and there's no way you have enough for even 0.2g thrust gravity all the way) there's no way to rapidly change your acceleration direction to evade the missile, which has a higher acceleration. The only chance they had was to exhaust the warhead propellant (it probably has less dV than the ship), but I assume the booster stage got it close enough so that this was impossible (And for that they need to detect the missile in advance)
it really does put into perspective how terrifiyng war in space would be. @@nikolayageenko that moment when the crew lights the drives to evade, and the intercept distance just doesen't change would last for ever. add to that that in all likelyhood they would have had at least several hours warning since even civilian vessels would have pretty advanced radar to detect micrometeroids/debris clouds too small to be seen by planetary/orbital systems an it becomes a truly horrific scenario.
the video is pretty compressed due to youtube. is this available in a higher bitrate version so i can show it on large screen without the color banding in space?
I'm definitely staying tuned for your future releases. Keep it up! Love the sequence in the ring, with the man reading the Bible and space beyond him...
I LOVE THIS! I saw your trailer for the series right before this (popped up on recommended) and it totally piqued my interest. Now only one episode in and I'm hooked. Will be following this closely. 😎
I have been wanting to see a near future space conflict series done with realistic physics and this is perfect! I am currently learning a new board game called "Attack Vector Tactical" (Ad Astra Games) that simulates space combat with realistic vector movement. Set in a somewhat near future where Earth is no more (It's an unknown...in the fiction, Earth just kind of went offline and anyone that tries to go there, never returns.) and Mankind is doing what it does best, killing one another for Planets that have been colonized close to Sol. It's a complicated game system as a realistic physics game should be, but most of the maths has been rolled into the charts and tables so in theory the actual play of the thing will be straight forward. This video is wonderful and I hate to say it, we being hairless primates we love to fight each other and I believe our destiny will be an eventual move into space, colonize the solar system and then well fight each other over it. Regardless, fantastic video and I can't wait to se the whole series. You should have millions of views.
Fabulous, though the human models and animation is lacking and spaces seem oddly sparce. surely there'd be more than one person manning stations in a busy transit control center
Geopolitical and astropolitical tension leads to a cargo ship being hit by a multi-staged kinetic missile aka interceptor aka a stone that hurls itself at you at incomprehensible speed.
50,000 years ago, our ancestors conducted war by throwing rocks at each other.
In the future, we still throw rocks at each other, only at 0.99c.
Someone get this man a couple hundred million bucks and some actors, he's got a vision!

You can pull some amazing stuff off when in CG
Space. 99% boredom, 1% terror. Again, bloody well done! 👏

@@howardkong8927 simple, they can easily spam ship into space with the resources, inner planets cant
@@howardkong8927 They technically have the asteroid belt at their disposal

2:05 the missile declares it has no serial number😂
The missile knows what it is. You don't need to.
was that the missile or the booster?

@devianttoast5828 the missile knows what it is at all times. it knows this because it knows what it isn't

This is such an underrated series, watching this for free makes me feel bad.
Keep up the good work ❤

Very cool! I look forward to seeing more of this universe!
2:22 that translates to “kinetic interceptor”

@@radilmahbub4690 big ass and fast rock. Yes.
@@zathary564the formula for kinetic energy is actually Ke = 1/2*m*v^2.

oh my gosh i cant wait to see more of this. i love it already! this is amazing.
This looks amazing, look forward to seeing how it goes!
Been watching your stuff on B站, and glad to see its being posted on here. Waiting for it to get big on YT!

reminded me of the "remembrance of earth's past" series
Yep! Check out the droplet short film "Waterdrop"
I really like this. Subbed and looking forward to more.
Holy shit you should have a million views for this.
Incredible stuff. Keep it up!
