That's pretty cool, and seems like a good way to do practical effects on a tight budget really. The interior shots were great and if the model had more polish it'd probably be quite convincing.

I want to see more of shit like this. I feel like you could do a sick WWI or WWII dogfighting movie this way.

Man, no wonder TIEs have such a low survival rate. You can't see shit out of those viewports.

This makes me think the future of effects is actually drones rather than computers. There's lots of things in this video reminding you that these are actually tiny ships which kind of ruins the effect.

Take some drones, put them in a room with green screen. Have them fly around some model of a space station, do some dog fighting. Add a space background.

There are parts of that video that look way better than any CGI shit I've seen in recent years.

The things that ruin that videos effects are bringing things like trees and bridges in since it ruins the sense of scale. The model is low quality enough to ruin the immersion too, but that's fixable with a better budget. The shots of crashing units as they experience damage are fantastic. Even external shots of the unit "over the shoulder" and back at R2 are great, but would be better with more budget on the models.

So Star Wars is real.

Thats why they added gunner seat and a turret

I would hope that the directors of the upcoming Star Wars movies would take notice of this and see how they could do some real good fighter scenes. This looks real because it is real. CG can never look this good.

The scenes where they're flying through the trees near the end make me think the speeder bike chase from ROTJ could be done this way in real time. (The way they originally did it was to have a guy walk through the forest with a Steadicam and then speed the film up.)

dude this looks like shit

sure the cgi parts do. but thats a real xwing flying around. it looks better than the best cgi possible

>>14306569
This particular instance does, but with a proper budget and the right people, you could get some really good shots.

>>14300179
I dont think drones would be the way to do it, the way they fly is a bit strange and unlike how actual planes fly. Most people wont notice, but i think the people who will are the same who complain about CG.

Using RC airplanes might be possible, but you would need a bigass room to do that

>>14306569
You look like shit.

>unlike how actual planes fly

wouldn't this be a good thing? these are star fighters so they wouldn't be able to(or have to) rely on air resistance to maneuver in atmosphere, atleast to an extent a fixed wing aircraft does.

Star Wars ships and most sci-fi ships fly like fucking air planes all the time.
