Nice, but what's with the Trojan War plot? Just me, but I don't think the Trojan War theme works all that well in outer space....

I like it! Something new.

Trojan war has ships, Vendetta has ships, why not?

One piece of constructive criticism, the second half of the movie drags a little. In a narrative you have to consider how many shots you are using to get the message across, I'd say you only need about half of the ones you use.

A couple of my favorites: flying across the the cap ship firing rockets down onto the hull. Reminded me a little of Return of the Jedi for some reason. I also liked the beginning with the Cent and the Vult boosting together, good way to "tighten the screw." Some nice duel sequences also. However, you probably only need one or two shots of a ship boosting alone through space or drifting into the frame. Repeat the same shot too often and the narrative loses momentum.

Sweet.

I'm kinda with Beolach on this one... the trojan war plot doesn't make all that much sense to me...

Then again, it's sometimes good to get away from the backstory if you want to make a good movie.

And you sir, have made a good movie.

thanks all. Yeah, i wasn't sure how well the narration at the beginning would work. In all honesty i just needed something to help time up the music right :) It was supposed to kindof set the mood with that "going to war" feeling.

Well you definitely got the mood right. Gj, man!

lol, thanks :). Ill probably try and make another one before my subscription runs out at the end of the month. I'm gonna try to aim for less epic, and more of a spotlight on the dogfights of the game. If i can get enough people together, I want to film a couple big dogfights. Like 3 on 3 or more. It'd be more interesting to watch than all 1 on 1's.

My favorite part: The side view of the capship warping in. That was outstanding.
Looks like the bandwidth requirement is not too bad, Ghost. I should be able to keep it up indefinitely, unless someone slashdots me. (Please DON'T.)

woo! That cap ships warping in and the cap ships explodeing are my favorite parts. They are so super dramatic it gives me goosebumps. Awesome movie.

WMV=bad.
WMV that VLC doesn't have a codec for = plusbad.

MPEG may not be the best format, but at least everyone can read it. Unlike the alternatives. If you have to use a "good" format, at least use QT. Everybody can read that.
