Welcome to the Making Of section of the the Retaliation site.

Here you'll find some screenshots of the various elements used to create the short.

Retaliation was a one-man fanfilm shot in the spare room of my house, and I like the fact that this is what one person can do with a Greenscreen, a Canon GL2, some software and an imagination.

The software breakdown for the short includes:

Cinema 4D - 95% of the CG shots
3ds Max - One or 2 3d elements were created in 3dsMax and composited into the final shots.

Adobe After Effects - All the editing, compositing, and sound mixing.

Soundforge - Various Sound Effects, and Pilot Voice ADR.

As stated earlier the short was shot on a Canon GL2 and I used DVMattePro for my Chroma-keying.

The Xwing model I used was courtesy of Scifi3d.com, and only reqiured a couple minor modifications to make it "the first prototype". I changed the orange colors to dark red as seen on the ships in Episode III, and I created new engine exhaust flares.
