Firefly Fan Film First Test Footage

Thursday, January 15, 2004 2:41 AM

So, first things last...

After a re-read of the "Firefly:Orpheus" pilot script I came up with a snag... Probably one that the execs at FOX would have had a field day with... The beginning was just too damn slow... But problem solved, rearranged a few scenes added a shootout in an alley and a flashback for our intrepid Captain and I'm feeling good!

But even better is the test footage I did for the Orpheus.

Again, many props over to Firefly.net user Biotech who gave me his model. I did my first pass at re-texturing it, and with a little more work, I think I will really come up with something.

I tried two different engine "sparks" for this one, and I'm digging the vibe I get from the nacel closest to the camera, I think that will be my basic engine exhaust fume.

Next I have to work on spinning the ring at the engine and get the "firefly effect".

So, if you want to take a gander pop over to:

Drop me a line and let me know what you think. I still have some texture work to finish up,and I think I will try another pass tonight.

More to come....
