2) The BC's - obviously we were harkening back to the originals.
I wasn't saying it was wrong; that's what BCs looked like in those days (in universe). I'm just saying that seeing the old BC looking as good as it could made me appreciate the improvements the SC2 BC had.

The Gantrithor was powerful enough that it single-handedly defeated an entire terran battlecruiser squadron under the command of General Edmund Duke.
So that's what happened to the Norad I ;)
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Alright, I saw the Confederate Flag on the Battle-cruiser. Very detailed, I say!
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Pretty nice video. Saw it last night.

Heh, that's exactly what I would have worked on if I had spent more time on the cinematic.
Also, I could have gone with a SC2 style Battlecruiser, but those models are not implemented yet at the time of this cinematic, which takes place 4 days before Starcraft 1.
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Awesome video. We want more... many more ;P
Maybe you make a full-length movie about SC?
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Wow that was something... now I know where from you got the awesome Tassadar image, neato guys keep up the good work.
I see that alot of non SC sites have it in their news, just look at google.

HA! - could used that in the final Protoss mission from SC1 - woulda finished in 5 minutes! :-)
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
for some reason I'm not surprised at this, sclegacy is constantly going where no other fansite will go near
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
gorgeous cinematic guys, really well done. Tassadar voice actor was phenomenal, and it really fits well with the prose description of the purging of Chau Sara. bravo!
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
This cinematic brought back memories of something that I'm sure a handful of current SCLegacy fans weren't around for. Join me. Let's take a trip down memory lane...
http://www.campaigncreations.org/sta..._of_the_tribes
WotT was a player-made campaign that was released a good ten years ago. I'm sure you can still download that campaign and play it now if you wish, but I wanted to show you guys the intro movie that was made for it. Keep in mind that SCLegacy was pretty close with Campaign Creations back in the day and the site basically hosted/advertised the campaign and its movie, as referenced in the movie itself.
http://files.campaigncreations.org/s.../WotTMovie.exe
-In order to start up the movie, just open the file and left click twice on it down on your taskbar (I'm using XP and that's how I got this ancient movie to work, lol)-
Back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth and people were still playing Diablo 1 on b-net without worrying about cd keys, Blizzard and Rad Game Tools were like this *crosses fingers* They used Smacker and Bink video compression technology to create their cinematics and so did the guy that made this intro movie. The movie itself can't really hold a candle to First Contact, but despite its corny nature, I thought it was a pretty awesome fan effort from the year 1999! :)
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Haha, I remembered that cinematic as well. Strange that you should bring it up Asfatasican. ;)
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Sclegacy you never cease to amaze me. I actually thought i was watching a Blizzard original production, professionalism to the max :O.

Loved the god damn video. Amazing stuff right there.
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Awesome video, great work guys! :D
I can't even imagine how much effort did you spend on it, I barely believe it's actually fan-made. :)
btw, is there a chance that you can post a download copy of the movie, in full quality (before YouTube's encoding)? :)

We're considering it but not sure if we really want to.

Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Well, I hope you'll post it, but thanks a lot for the quick reply, I appreciate it. ;)
The video looks awesome in any quality anyway... :P
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Yeah, that was totally awesome. The imitator was excellent.
And I had wondered where Freespace got his avatar from...:)

Why wouldn't you want to? :P
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Re: StarCraft: First Contact
Beautifully done! Good video!
Actually if I my ask the creator of the movie himself a few questions:
How did you create this piece of art, which programmes did you use, what inspiration have you had and how much skills do you need to be able to realize such a project.
Greetings
