excelente.
A special forces unit are sent to an unknown planet in the far outer rim and find more than what they are looking for.
This is one of our best stop motions. I remember being super proud of the tone and style and its sense of pace. I think it really holds up.
excelente.
I really like the clay/Lego hybrid sets here. A clay base helps free the environment from always being "on the studs" and helps add to the idea of a wild/untamed planet. A bit harsher lighting with more use of shadows/darkness would have been the cheery on top of the otherwise great sets/sounds that made the planet come alive.
At times, sounds were not 100% synced, (footsteps around 3:26) and the blaster flashes were missing the actual laser part.
4:38 was a great shot, and I loved the scary clay monster being in a world of clay. It made me feel that it could have popped up anywhere, or even that the mud itself was sentient. (A really cool, and scary, possibility)
Overall, a great atmosphere and film, even if there was little story to be seen.
the Star Wars elements seemed superfluous, as there was nothing here that couldn't fit in an original sci-fi universe, or even a simple supernatural horror genre. While Stormtroopers are cool, was there any reason you went with the Star Wars IP over an entirely original setting?
Thank you for your comments, I agree with your point on the sound at points epically with a couple dialogue bits, which in retrospect would have been a simple fix. On the use of the Star Wars IP I guess the reasons would be I like Star Wars 😂 and also i had never seen a story and tone like this in that universe.
