That's a very good image!   How long will the film be, and what frame rate will it be shot at?

I like the poster.

What happened to Johnny Thunder, Sliders, or Batman Continues? D:

"Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." - 1 Corinthians 10:31b

My problems with Rogue One (which I still haven't seen, but look forward to watching soon) is that 1. It's part of Disney's new Star Wars canon, which I utterly despise and 2. It's an official feature film made by the company.

I've come to expect films made about others outside of the skywalker family from fanfilms, and maybe even some Lucasfilm video games and novels, but from a feature film? At best it makes it SO much harder to explain Star Wars canon to non Star Wars fans, and at worst it's just a blatant cash grab. This film will be absolutely free.

Although, you definitely deserve a pat on the back, Lego Figure Productions, for calling me out on that.

After a house fire on new years eve of 2014/2015, all projects that I had been working on were put on hold indefinitely. Recently, having been looking back through these older projects, I realized that not a lot of them could be filmed with the Lego that I currently have. Johnny Thunder and Sliders, right from the start, would require at least a few bricklink orders, as would the Alpha Team and Pirates projects I'd remained rather secretive about.

Batman continues, on the other hand, is still in production - only, I won't be heading it anymore...

I quietly posted an update a few days ago on the Batman Continues topic, which I'll repost here:

As I understand it, The Login Productions is continuing on with his film. I may even ask him to start posting updates on that topic, just so everyone looking forward to it can stay up to date. My project will resume either after the summer contest at earliest, after the next THAC at latest.

Overall, my brickfilm output for the past 3 years has been less than what I'd been shooting for. With unavoidable delays, cancellations, and changes in schedule, I've been playing with multiple options for better workflow in lieu of semi-retiring.

As of right now, a Star Wars fanfilm seems like not only the easiest for me to do (I've got loads of classic and newer Star Wars sets), but also the most engaging to me right now.

Besides, the point of this hobby is to have fun. And doing any project other than Star Wars at the moment would seem like work over play to me. And, when it comes to writing/filming/editing films, I think that the lack of interest on my part would slip through, hurting the overall quality of the project.

Johnny Thunder, Sliders, Batman Continues, however, are not dead. I have so many plans on what to do, and find the subjects interesting enough that, I don't think I could ever outright cancel them. Just don't hold your breath.

I was going to shoot it on film with all practical effects, but decided upon digital and CGI instead. Also I'm selling the idea to Disney.

Having completed a roughly 20 page script in just one day (so fitting it was Star Wars day, too), I'll begin revisions tonight. However, in the meantime, I thought I'd post some updates:

I'm thinking about changing the look of the female lead. I like the concept of giving her white hair, but, I think her outfit could do with a change. (At least for this film... ) If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Otherwise, I'll post some pics of alternate attires in a day or two for critique and reference.

I also thought I'd share the text moc-up for the opening crawl text (Un-adjusted). I tried to keep it around 80 or so words, as I think that was the average for the actual Star Wars films. Without further ado, take a gander:

As well as a demonstration of the color correcting I intend to use:

Using a custom LUT created from Dr. Dre's color matching tool as shared here http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Color- … d/id/18128, I applied it over the original image matched with a frame from Star Wars despecialized and voilà. Just a tiny bit of color curves and film grain later, and I've got something pretty close to the original film.

I boosted the values just a tad bit further than I most likely will in the final film, mind you. This is just to show the comparison more distinctly.

BTW, Thanks to everyone for taking such an interest in my projects.

This looks like a really awesome film! Can't wait to see it.

"THAC XVII” Entry • YouTube Channel • I voice act

How would you describe her home planet? It might help find an outfit for her.

I went ahead ad amended her description post with a link to Wookieepedia.

A somewhat Mandalorian-esque dress isn't a bad idea. I'll see what I can do and post some alternatives soon.

I'd prefer to release this film as far, far away from the release of a theatrical Star Wars film as possible. So, with The Last Jedi coming out at the end of this year, it looks unlikely that I'll release SotE anytime before then, as I haven't even started principal photography.

Also, I've got a few projects that presently spark greater inspiration than this brickfilm at the moment. Those being: a Time Cruisers project, a few Superhero based films, a possible THAC entry, and a TON of original ideas - some of which may or may not end up as brickfilms. (But all of which I shall share here, none the less)

Fret not, however. SotE is NOT canceled, nor will it be put on delay for too horribly long. Probably sometime next year... again, a bit aways from an official Star Wars release.
