To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

This is a fan movie, so I'm unsure if this should be in fan fiction or here in scifi movies?

Anyways I hope you like it, I've been working on it since early 2008. I'm releasing a new part on average each month. Keen to hear anyone's thoughts?

BACK STORY

In the 23rd century humans have ventured into the stars. Two empires vie for power along the known sectors of the Milky Way - the Terran Imperial Union and the Dakota Republic.

The Beginning **This is 2D - was made prior to me learning 3D animating***

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7

2009 Teaser

And the webpage is here

Keen to hear what anyone thinks 🙂

Cheers,

Lew

Hi Lew

Firstly welcome to the SSC.

I liked your movies, lots of great lines from a variety of sci-fi films and some original ideas of your own. Well done to you! 😎

Looking forward to episode 8 😀

I like it. Nice on going story and I'm at Episode 4 and will watch the rest tomorrow. How many people you have working with you on this? Because there is a lot of different voices 🙂

On average lew82 how much time does it take for you to put together a episode?

Hey Darkone,

Glad you like it, thanks for praise! 😀 I have a website creator and 9 voluntary voice actors. On average it's about 1 month per part now, only do it in my spare time, unfortunately i work in insurance which is the life suck of all time hehe

Thoroughly enjoyed that,although I did find the constantly changing beteen 3d and 2d a bit off putting at the start but got used to after a couple of episode.

Hey Darkone - thanks man glad you liked it 🙂 With the pilot are you meaning Caine? We're definitely gonna see way more of Caine throughout the movie, his role is very pivotal.

Hi Lew82

You are just getting better and better at this. Well done to you and your cast. A budding anime George Lucas if I ever saw one. Thank you for sharing your work with us! 🙂

Part 10 (double-digits now) is finished and on youtube, there were some action scenes I had planned on fitting into this part however it looks like I rang outta time, so hopefully I shall be able to fit them into Part 11.

This part is a bit more about setting up plot elements, so I hope you like it :).
