Thank you so much!

[@RySome]

Sick renders! Looking good

[@projectblackwolf2178]

Thank you! Blender is an amazing program!

[@derp2496]

Very impressed with the pilots docking. When does Planet 69 come out?

[@PaulLandoltToronto]

Nice premise and good work.
There is a clear ... variance in audio / dialogue clarity. Some scenes with "remote" communication are clear. Any dialogue from the actors wearing a helment is muddy. Perhaps it was an "audio aesthetic" that you were trying to achieve.
It would be better production to have the actors redo the audio with a "helment off" voiceover. It's clearer, and in keeping with other types of work.
Keep at it! Very good work

This is really the only problem I had with this as well: Got sick and tired pretty quickly of listening to muffled audio.We get it; they're wearing helmets. We want to hear what they're saying without this muffled effect.

[@projectblackwolf2178]

Thank you for the compliments and the feedback! Yes, we ran into a little trouble with the mics not picking up all of the audio from behind the helmets. It would have been better to have had the actors redo the audio in post. We will definitely improve on this in future projects. Again thank you for the feedback!

[@Mobus_]

Looks like you had fun making this. I would rerecord the voices to sound like radio chatter. It was too muffled.

[@projectblackwolf2178]

Yes we had a blast making this! For future projects we will definitely work on redoing muffled audio in post. Thank you for the feedback!

[@bradleyrevilla9311]

Better than Star Wars!!

[@projectblackwolf2178]

Thank you! Someday we'll get there!

I don’t understand why something we build is able to turn against us. Why not put a kill switch in it? Or at least a “do not kill humans” directive somewhere in the software. And then, somehow, we have time to build FTL technology so we can go looking for another planet to screw up. Sarah Connor, I hope you’re out there somewhere…

[@cliffontheroad]

We/they are already looking for a new world to occupy. We we find a ship protecting the new earth, as what I infer here? And are the ones in that big ship mechanicals who have rebelled against its former human-like residents on the planet? How come the enemy is always such bad shots? Or we get "shields" working by then? The red blip quickly disappearing is not really explained. My questions are not important. Gosh there was a lot of shooting. And who is to say a crashing ship has more ?? then the weapons firing. I like it better when a injured ship has hope for living instead of blowing up. I will ignore that radios travel faster than light. guess the ships can too.

[@apretrogaming1041]

It’s not that deep, just enjoy the short film😂

[@cliffontheroad]

@@apretrogaming1041 before I consulted with the studio, they were not planning on blowing up the Death Star. I do what I can. Did enjoy the film. 😃
