This space combat adventure focuses on 2nd Lieutenant Lance Casey; the son of a legendary ace pilot and new recruit into the Confederation Space Force. Alongside veteran pilots Maniac (Thomas F. Wilson; Back to the Future) and Hawk (Chris Mulkey, Rambo: First Blood, The Purge) and his fellow new recruits, Casey will face a terrifying new enemy with ancient origins. Costarring Peter Jason (They Live, HBO's Deadwood), Jeremy Roberts (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) and adult actress Ginger Lynn Allen.
NOTES:
It's far from perfect. Overall. Video, audio, editing. Expect warts.
It's fake HD. But in my experience youtube doesn't like SD stuff, and drops the bitrate so uploading an upconverted video results in better quality.
The video is from the DVD vobs released a few years ago, but those were nonanamorphic so I had to resize all of the FMV.
There was some kind of graphics glitch on my game...turning off lens flares kind of minimized it, but there are still weird lines around certain objects (pretend they are old school matte boxes!) and the moving stars appear in front of objects.
Some plot points don't seem to really be covered very well in the game itself. Like the Tiamat dreadnought. I never found any kind of cutscene, briefing or VDU comm that introduces it to the cast. There are a few other things like this, such as Blair insisting to fly and then not really doing so until the end.
Some of the briefings do not have the computer voice and instead I left the text up longer to give time to read it. The reason for this is some of the time the damned game wouldn't play the sound files, as far as I know there is no way to extract the audio from the game files
I suck at videogames, so there is some sloppy flying during the game footage
The ingame HUD is SOOOO not 16x9 friendly, so it's stretched a bit and windowboxed. It won't fill your screen
Some shots of the Midway have fighters crashing into the ship. It's not my fault, it's bad AI. I achieved the shots by setting my fighter up and afterburning while using rear view and my wingmen decided they ought to follow me...even if it meant going through the ship's hull.
If you get annoyed at wingmen saying the same thing over and over try playing rhe game. I know you can shut them up, but comms chatter adds to drama
I only used one nonGeorge Oldziey song in the entire thing, because German metal doesn't exactly fit
The sync seems to be a bit off for part 2, Rendering took 11 hours and uploading took about 6, so I am not in a hurry to redo it.
Working on getting a file of the complete movie uploaded to wcnews.com, the sync on that file is fine since it's a different render.
