Put this together today. It's a short scene from my upcoming film Supercow: The Movie 3. I'm comfortable with it right now, but I still have this little voice telling me that I could do more to make it better.

It's made in regular GMod, because SFM hurts my brain.

Any advice? Tips?

I made a few changes and finished the ending to the scene. Still looking on tips to make it more... cinematic. Any sort of polishing that can be done to give it a filmic look, similar to SFM, without actually using SFM.

I think it's not bad, but what's with those [i]360 no scope[/i] rebels?

Is that something that can't be fixed?

Haha I have no idea why they were doing that, I just set them and the gunship to shoot the shit out of each other and then let the camera roll.

I like it, though I prefer the GMod cinematic-ness than you asking for SFM-ish cinematics IMO as to keep them seperate, can't wait for the finished product!

A blockbuster ending.

I had some homework to procrastinate on so I spent the last day or so making these animated menus to eventually be used when I finish the movie and put it on DVD/Bluray

Kinda related: but did you use an Earth skybox or something?

The shot of the Earth was captured in [url=http://en.spaceengine.org/]Space Engine[/url]

Oh very nice ok. Did you green screen the ships then or something?

Yes. I use the catmull camera addon to move the camera around the (stationary) car against a green screen to make it fly around smoothly (kinda like how star wars used to do it.) All the individual pieces- the asteroids, Earth, the DeLorean, the hyperspace tunnel- are composited together in the editor.

There's a shitload of space scenes I'll need to film for the movie so the technique comes in handy when you have a lot of shit flying around at once

More dumb questions: What color green did you use? I tried it a few weeks ago but it wasn't working. I know how to green screen live action footage. And what editor did you use?

Just pure green on the rgb scale - 0,255,0.

That particular sequence was put together in Final Cut Pro 10.2.2
