Are you a fan of Star Wars?
I used to be, but then I took a sequel trilogy to the knee, and haven’t been the same since.
Personal Biases aside, I may not like certain stories being told, but I Definitely enjoy that Star Wars Aesthetic and Feel.
So if I don’t like the “Official” work, why not see what the Fans are making?
This animation is made by Loacher Films, another Solo animator (who got some help with the Voicework).
And there are Two reasons why I wanted to share this animation:
In the credits, Loacher shares every program used to make this animation. (If you’re curious about what was needed/used here, there’s a nice list of the programs used, and why they were needed)
Nearly All of the animations that Loacher Films creates, used Motion Capture. (As in, those motion capture suits that you wear and records those movements.)
So yes, there is definitely an amount of Money behind this animation.
But it’s always worth knowing what quality you can get when money is spent.
As a little side note, if you are a Star Wars fan, I’d also recommend another Animation that Loacher has made.
I think the Star Wars IP would be stronger if it had more of what this animation has.
