I ain't going to lie. That whole portion of the dialogue gave me flash backs of military service. But to be fair, once you have at least two soldiers you are supposed to figure out who is in charge and then come up with some plan of action. Even if that means a five hour long "take 5".

@@ting4758 Seems like the armor didn't really help the "Commander" guy who was blasted apart at the bottom of a crater. It didn't really help the guys fighting the kid with the blue glow stick. And it didn't do much against a blaster shot in the leg (which apparently will still require first aid).

@nokh3382 Жыл бұрын

@@pwnmeisterage technically speaking, it does disperse the energy of light to medium blasters but the A280 is a heavy blaster which is why it’s standard among rebels. Also the commander was probably hit by a grenade or artillery because when you see him, he’s half the man he used to be.

Half way through, I genuinely forgot that it was CGI. Characters in armor are hard to animate and get right, but this does it well! It really feels like there is a human being inside that suit of armor even when you never see any skin whatsoever.

@kennyroberson5726 Жыл бұрын

the only thing that kept distracting me from this not being live action was that the armor definitely was made from the action figures. you can tell from how the "mouth" of the armor isnt painted perfectly to the groove in the helmet and the other aspects that should make depth were also painted on. Again though thats because these models were more than likely made from photoprinting the toy and not being hand made models and textures.

@corellioncrusaderproductio4679 Жыл бұрын

@@kennyroberson5726 I noticed that too, but honestly, it came across to me more like a handmade costume. Infact, most of the Storm Trooper figures have the little vertical vents sculpted into the helmet, which this 3D model doesn't have. If it was a photoscanned figure, I'd think they would have redone the material and fixed the mouth section.

So when in a battle in 1812 in Louisiana I believe, a commander was shot and killed, he British soldiers just stood there waiting for orders until someone took the commanding officers place, they were just standing getting shot.

Man- the part where he's just staring at him while he describes how the armor is blaster proof- priceless. With the helmets on you have no ability to show the face which makes it near impossible to have characters communicate through body language like that but- it worked perfectly. The blank look of the storm troopers helmet just naturally lends itself to that "Are you an idiot?" kind of expression- Still- that's not easy to pull off- this is extremely well done- and not just from a technical standpoint. The writing, the way you instantly just know both characters, the way they are able to express emotion even with a helmet covering their face, right down to the voices- it all works seamlessly. And the comedic timing is spot on. Very well done.

Real people in real costumes looks better. These stormtrooper models were missing a lot of fine details and the weathering looked planned. It was but it also looked like it. The scene was lit to show the trooper and not to serve a mood. That's the problem with some CGI artists. They can't separate the technical from the art. Each part needs to be treated with the highest level of skill. Once these guys solve all their technical issues then you can start comparing it to a live action counterpart.
