@@hdhdf2339 What are you aiming to make? Start with the basics and maybe while learning just download a free environment from the marketplace. Start learning sequencer and join frostbites discord, he has a virtual production package with some Star Wars assets and models you can download. RUclips tutorials will be the best for starting.
@@hdhdf2339 Pretty much just going to reiterate what Kyan said, but yeah, figure out an idea of what you want to make. Once you narrow that down you'll have an easier time knowing what you need to learn first. Are you using Unreal Engine? Great, you'll need to learn the UI as well as Sequencer, since that's the tool used for cinematics. Are you using SWBF2 assets? If so, you'll need to learn to make blueprints as well as materials that work with the assets. For example, when I first started off learning Unreal, I knew I had to build a blueprint for the clones with a customisation system that allows me to change gear, markings and weapons. I learned a lot about blueprints really fast because I knew specifically what I needed to build for the project's needs. Then you can move on to fancy VFX stuff if you wish, e.g particle effects like explosions/blaster bolts, and environment creation using Quixel Megascans assets. General piece of advise though, start small! Focus on creating a very short video that's maybe 10-20 seconds long. Something that you like working on that isn't too complex. You'll be able to get a good idea of the whole creation process really quickly that way. You should consider joining our Discord if you haven't done already. We provide various assets and project files to make it easier for creators to make animated Star Wars films in Unreal Engine. Hopefully it can benefit you :)
Thanks haha, we'll hopefully have more content to post soon. Just gotta find the time to be able to work on it, plus we're doing some technical R&D work to make cooler stuff in future.
This is simply amazing. I think this is easily the best short I've seen out of all the Cinematic Captures challenge entries. The score, animation, cinematography, camera work, lighting, animation, composition--everything is just amazing. I can't wait to see your next work. Keep it up!
@@MoroccanRizz You're right. That one is good. I think the main reason that one feels a bit better to watch than this one is the camerawork. It's a lot smoother and a bit more subtle in its approach to framing the scene. Sometimes less is more after all.
All I can say is: Goosebumps, all, over, my, skin. Wonderful job, high quality of animation, artistic takes and camera angles, and perfectly fitted soundtrack. Simply amazing ❤️
It absolutely baffles me that Disney gets MILLIONS to use for a budget when it comes to a Star Wars movie.....yet animators put this stuff together in their bedroom/office (wherever they keep their computer) Like, can’t we just get these guys to go in and make the movies or shows or whatever? You know, it seems like the passionate fans actually put in effort into this stuff....and it doesn’t even get close to 5 minutes.
Primarily because Disneys teams were SJW and focusing only on the feminism aspect rather than the story. Their feminist team even admitted they could care less about the franchise, its really sickening imo.
This feels like a Clone Wars episode come to life! I almost thought the lines were from the Clone Wars and the Bad Batch until I heard the "wrist rockets" line, which Dee Bradley Baker never said. The camera movement looks like someone is actually trying to film this while avoiding the blaster fire. The only issue I have is that the clones who were hit with blaster fire didn't have any holes in them, but other than that, this is real good. keep up the work!
I kid you not if you don’t even read the title you would think this would be a trailer to a Star Wars clone trooper RPG third person shooter. Which I hope gets made in up to date game engines.
This short is awesome! The animation is spot on. The graphics, the movements, all of it looks and feels so real! The camera, the angels, the shots, you did an amazing job on this incredible, bite size film! As a viewer, you can see and feel that this took a tremendous amount of time, but the result was worth it. Awesome job.
Really great short. This was a Clone Wars battle more in the style of the skirmish on Jakku at the beginning of The Force Awakens, much more modern style. I love it!
You amazing animators/creatives should create original concepts that you can monetize and run concurrently to these fan masterpieces. Clearly you have the creativity and story telling abilities, now with the availability and ease of access to all the new tech there's so much potential.
This easily captures the spirit of the clone troopers and how they are capable of holding out even in the most difficult of situations. God bless the GAR
Yes. Standing out in the open, trading shots with advancing robots and not even attempting to find cover before returning fire. No wonder they were getting mowed down.
Absolutely loved it, brilliant! One thing I noticed that I hope helps going forward, is the drop ship swooped in beautifully, then seemed to almost stop dead in it's tracks, where it should have come in and tipped it's nose up for a bit, similar to a helicopter, before leveling off to let the troopers off. Overall amazing stuff though, keep up the great work!
Helicopters tip their noses when stopping quickly up to apply a measure forward thrust from the main rotor downwash. The drop ships in the Star Wars universe are not helicopters.
other than the abrupt stop at 1:39, this is the coolest thing star wars I've seen in a long time, no joke Disney needs to hire you and some people for a more realistic clone wars show or something.
@@RealGeorgeLucas Yeah, I studied game dev at college for two years. I made this film project during my first year, then focused on finishing the second year. Now that college is finished I'm able to find more time to work on more content. :)
@@FrostbiteCinematics that is awesome! So this is a bit random. I work in production and in October we are building a production studio for music & film production. If you’re interested, I’d like to talk to you about what you do and get an understanding of animation and motion capture? I’d like to know more about what you do because it’s incredible work plus it’s Star Wars!
@@RealGeorgeLucas Sounds good :) I will say that I don't know a huge amount, even at my game dev job I'm currently still a junior so I'm just letting you know in advance. Feel free to reach out any time over Discord or Twitter (links in description) and I'd be happy to talk if there's anything I am able to help with :)
really. well done. I've not had that shiver down my spine from star wars since seeing the EPVII trailers, but this time... this reminded me as a kid watching EPII when right at the end in the battle, I had this same shiver. This is why I love star wars. That was epic, well done!
yeah haha, I spent 2 months working on this and not once did I think to add pilots to the LAAT. Spent too long trying to find actual models only to swap them out with Fallen Order clones in the end, but only added it to the ARC. Forgot about the LAAT. Gonna pay more attention to little details like this in future though since I don't have to worry about short deadlines so much anymore.
Thanks :) Yeah, we plan on making more short film content like this in future, taking into account all of the feedback we got from this project. It was our first one and we didn't have many resources at our disposal, but hopefully future films will turn out even better since we can spend more time on them.
FWIW if you are interested in making Star Wars animations in Unreal Engine 5, consider joining the Discord in the description. I give away my Star Wars project files so people can make their own short films with it. :)
@Frostbite Cinematics wow that's pretty cool! I thought it took a good while to learn animation? U make it sound like it's a simple set of instructions lol and is that the only program I need? Also is it free? Lol
@@jedi.master.j Unreal Engine 5 is pretty much free, and is the program I work in most. This is where you build the environment, add in the characters and then render everything out. It's time consuming to make projects and it's not always easy, but the goal of releasing the StarWarsPackage project is to make it easier to create without having to deal with all of the technical prep work that goes into it. The project on Discord has a bunch of animations from Jedi: Fallen Order (which we used to make this short film) and the new Jedi Survivor game. So you can reuse pre-existing animations easily. To create custom character animations, it's more complex. You need to look into a program called Blender (free) or Maya (paid), and animate the characters either by hand or using motion capture data. Then you bring the animation into Unreal to render it.
Hey man, this was awesome! I really liked the character movement animation and your depiction of clone ships in atmosphere. What I didn't like was how clones were standing out in the open, but it's a problem with a lot of SW fights. Crossing fingers for your next projects!
well... that was how we used to fight until end of WWI... that's when we change tactics to a more resemblance to modern FIBUA tactics. considering the rate of fire back then was still almost 2s between reloads as single shots rifles, lining the troops up for combined fire seems smart...
@@PrograError "...how we used to fight until the end of WW1..." "...lining troops up for combat" You don't study history very hard, do you? Did you never hear of machine guns in WW1 and what they used to do to troops "lining up for combat"? And rifles in WWI were not "single shot" and did not need "2s" between reloads - look up the British Army's "Mad Minute" exercise with the SMLE rifle, also called "fifteen rounds rapid".
I don’t think I need to tell you how great this project turned out. I had a question though, how did you get such realistic movements with your character rigs? Do you have any tricks or advice to getting that quality motion? If it was mocap, how did you go about it? Sorry, to bombard you with questions, but you seem talented and I I’m working on a similar project of my own right now. Thanks for any advice!
For this project we were very limited by time as well as resources. Future projects will be mocapped using a Rokoko Smartsuit Pro. This one however was mostly made using animation files pulled from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order along with a little bit of custom mocap. Took a lot of work to put together, though not as long as it would have took if we were to either hand-key or mocap it all ourselves. Hope this helps :)
As for working with mocap and animation retargeting, we used Maya for it. Thanks to AlexS189, we were able to use an animation binder using Red9. This was used to map mocap to our custom control rig, then we just used Animation Layers to offset the animation data to solve clipping issues. RenTheHen has a great video on his channel called 'Animating Shadow of the Republic where he breaks down the process really well.
If you want access to some of the tools and assets we used on our film, consider joining our Discord server (link in the discription). We have our content library there, including our UE4 project files and animations. Hopefully it is of use to you :)
@@FrostbiteCinematics You have all the right technology and manpower, but don't have a writer that can tell a human story, without SW lore, with SW characters. It's the same boring shoot shoot shoot shoot kind of narrative. It's really time to move on from SW characters and tell a new SW story with fresh new SW characters, outside of the "Empire." Empire is just bore and done as a villain.
WOW!!! We can't believe we missed your awesome Star Wars animated short film. We made 2 short animated short film (1 in 3D and 1 in traditional animation), so we know how much work there is behind this. So, a big "CONGRATULATIONS" to you. We love it !!!!!!!! 🤩
This is so good!!! very nice editing as well. its dragged a slight bit down by some light/lens effects that does not follow the movement of the camera. Take for example 0.18 (a ghost flare kinda stocked in the middle of the frame.) One reason I start to looking for flaws is because you have one obvious one in the first frame from 0.01 to 0.09 its looks like a light leak effect or something. Had it been real it would have moved with the camera movement, or actually it would only really be visible at the angle the light is hitting the leak in the lens. So it would disappear quickly as the camera moves. A dusty visor effect is also affected by light, where on 0.36 its there sorta just there as a static filter. BUT REALLY GREAT WORK!!!
This is so good I bet you and your team can make a whole starwars series. Im not exactly sure if that would be considered copy righting? But you should definitely considered doing that cause how talented you guys are.
Thanks! :) Yeah, we're looking into mocap for our future films, plus we'll have more time to work on them. There have been discussions about doing a short series someday, once we have the resources and skills to pull it all off. As for copyright, AFAIK Disney seem to be pretty chill about letting the fans make their own film projects. We just aren't allowed to directly profit from it through monetisation, or crowd-fund the films. It sucks, but at least we get to play with their toys and make some cool stuff at the end of the day :)

The Arc-170 coming down through the trees gave me goosebumps, this is sick !
This is amazing you even included “WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS.”
2 minutes of greatness better than anything Disney has put out in Theaters
Heck yeah!!
Relax lmao
obviously but yes i agree
At 1:19 when the Clone Theme kicked in , I really got goosebumps, great job guys, May the Force be with you
0:15 HE SAID THE THING!!! lol, that line takes me back something fierce.
Honestly a live action war movie about a squad of Clones would be a money move
Everyone:
Come on Clonetrooper, say the line.
Clonetrooper:
Watch those wrist rockets...
The way the clones' theme kicks in as the 170 flys past was fucking awesome
1:18 I felt that
0:49
Storm Trooper: Man thats a really cool brid
0:51
Oh whats that bird?
All I can say is: Goosebumps, all, over, my, skin. Wonderful job, high quality of animation, artistic takes and camera angles, and perfectly fitted soundtrack. Simply amazing ❤️
You really think so? The way the clone bodies are just pasted over the River? It’s pretty biblical, the way they can walk on water.
I'm so glad to see star wars being a source of inspiration and motivation for people to learn and utilize animation skills
Definitely felt that "For the Republic" Fantastic short!

love that final shot
1:43 that shot of the clone commando with the background track gave me chills
Parts of this looks so real, i thought it was a mix of stop motion and animation wtf
Isn't it crazy that these look real but if you look closer their animations?!?!?! Insane!
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE I LOVE IT
I'm a simple man. I see Clone Troopers, I click.
"Animated" - the realism in this is amazing! Awesome job!
No matter how many times I watch this, simply chills down my spine
The music really set the mood.
I need a new Clone Wars series in this style. Just Clones and Droids on their missions 😄
YES THAT WOULD BE AMAZING
Even added Republic Commandos. Nice! Vode An!
Why is this so good?!?!?
This made me genuinely smile. Loving all the SW content we’re getting from these entries, and loved all the CW references in this one. Good job!

WOW!!! We can't believe we missed your awesome Star Wars animated short film. We made 2 short animated short film (1 in 3D and 1 in traditional animation), so we know how much work there is behind this. So, a big "CONGRATULATIONS" to you. We love it !!!!!!!! 🤩
This is amazing! We need a clone wars show with this level of animation!
Way better than the Fanfiction falsely labeled Episode 7,8 & 9
Me singing along to the Republic Theme: DDOODODOOO DO DO DO DOOO DODOODOD OO DDOODODOOO DO DO DO DOOO DODOODOD OO

Thanks :)
This… Is a work of ART! Amazing cinematography and cgi! This looks perfect, never seen a smooth textured piece of a short fan film like this
This is absolutely amazing! You totally earned a sub, hope you win!
This gave me goosebumps watching it.
"For the Republic!" with the Clones theme playing really hit me, amazing work!
imagine a clone wars FPS game
I like the fact that the clone at 0:21 said Christ
This is so good!!! very nice editing as well. its dragged a slight bit down by some light/lens effects that does not follow the movement of the camera.
Take for example 0.18 (a ghost flare kinda stocked in the middle of the frame.)
One reason I start to looking for flaws is because you have one obvious one in the first frame from 0.01 to 0.09 its looks like a light leak effect or something. Had it been real it would have moved with the camera movement, or actually it would only really be visible at the angle the light is hitting the leak in the lens. So it would disappear quickly as the camera moves.
A dusty visor effect is also affected by light, where on 0.36 its there sorta just there as a static filter.
BUT REALLY GREAT WORK!!!
…why’d I love the environment so much??? Like, looked like a nice crisp morning or something and there’s a whole war going down. Scrumptious
This is so good I bet you and your team can make a whole starwars series. Im not exactly sure if that would be considered copy righting? But you should definitely considered doing that cause how talented you guys are.
Thanks! :) Yeah, we're looking into mocap for our future films, plus we'll have more time to work on them. There have been discussions about doing a short series someday, once we have the resources and skills to pull it all off. As for copyright, AFAIK Disney seem to be pretty chill about letting the fans make their own film projects. We just aren't allowed to directly profit from it through monetisation, or crowd-fund the films. It sucks, but at least we get to play with their toys and make some cool stuff at the end of the day :)
@@FrostbiteCinematics yes its very unfortunate indeed but atleast you'll may have fun doing it with that said I can't wait for whatever you make next
