Quake3World

Hey quake3world. Look, another of those near-future abandoned in space melodramas that seem so popular at the moment. Only in this one, if you go see it, you should pay special attention to how wonderfully detailed and realistic the interiors of the space capsules are. SPECIAL ATTENTION. (for they have been lovingly crafted by my very own hand)



Also, it actually looks pretty good. The director is the guy that did Children of Men (Alfonso Cuarón) so I have high hopes.

I can't see anything special about the interiors, but then I did just watch that on a phone

Looks good

That's because there aren't any interiors in the teaser!

What about all the bits flying towards the camera? Would that not class as bits from the inside.

Saves me watching and studying when I get home later

Nah, that's all CGI. We (in fact, I!) made a mock up in polystyrene of the exterior that she grabs onto in that scene, but it's all edited over in post.

The majority of the film is CGI, actually, it was fucking clever. For the weightlessness they had a massive cube in which the actors were in a rig which could be controlled either directly via a linked system where they could move what was essentially a toy spaceman and the actors would move identically, or they used recorded macros. The cube was made of those LED panels so they could render realtime rudimentary environments on them which meant they got all the lighting and reflections correct without having to bother in post.

Sounds awesome dude - you worked hard and got a fucking epic job, fair play

Will keep an eye on this

That film has one of the greatest shots in all of science fiction, namely the scene at the end where they flee the violence. It lasts forever, it's superbly tense and the whole thing is done in 1 take! Ah, i loves that sort of thing, what a hero

You're in for a treat with this one ;)

I was hoping to see a Q3W logo or something.

Cool stuff though.

Fuuuuck that. Just the thought of floating silently and detached through space gives me the chills. If they do this right, this could be a hellova horror/thriller film...

Sweet, I'll have to check it out

the universe spanks us for our hubris, some people die, some people survive, they discover their inner tree-hugger, before being rescued having learned a valuable lesson in humility, etc

can't. fucking. wait

Phant, this looks AWESOME. Did you do any research on these space capsules before putting one together? Maybe a tour of a real one?

Looks cool, but will this movie show us 90 minutes of people trying to hang on to things in space?

yes. yes it will

there will also be meaningful talking about the things that really matter in life

I love space epics.

phantasmagoria, looks brilliant.

Top marks for being (getting) involved with this creation even if in a small way, and hat's a compliment as it seems a great path you're on there, accompanied by Children of Men director, Alfonso Cuarón riding with you

Children of Men IMDB

You got me looking forward to this

It looks intriguing, but I'm hoping we didn't see all the cool stuff in the trailer.

everything looks like a computer game to you.

The sequel can be set underwater and the third movie under a boulder and...oh wait....

Nice!
Always appreciate some vicarious Q3W fame

Congratulations man. Awesome to see you being able to make $$$ doing what you are so good at.
