Mecha action short film made in Unreal Engine.
A solo animation project I worked on for over 4 months, depicting Mech warfare heavily inspired by Gundam and Armored Core. Special thanks to artists Zen Jirakun, Jaejun Kim, David Tilton, Pj and StrikerAstra for allowing me to use their concepts for my work.
In a near-future strife with interplanetary conflict and mech warfare, ‘Gunmetal Raid’ depicts a raid of a military installation by a burgeoning extrasolar empire which conducts lighting warfare using Ace-piloted mechs. Meeting them head on are the defenders of this border world, a planetary defense force comprised of their own veteran pilots. Beleaguered for months now, the final attack is imminent, and they now make their final stand.

this guy CLEARLY understands ''the rule of cool'' when it comes to framing, also the classic ''gundam footstep clang'' sound was immaculate.

@Heveric 6 месяцев назад

Zeon/Zaku footstep clang, but still works well enough. You hear that sound and it easily just gives that sense of something massive and machine like with some weight to it.

@user-vd5kj7oi8y 6 месяцев назад

yes the framing works here wonders , it gives you a sense of scale, love it!

@RashFever26 5 месяцев назад

My main problem with Armored Core 6 is how muffled and quiet the footsteps are... very disappointing. Mechs should be LOUD.

@suspiciouscheese4518 5 месяцев назад

@@HevericPretty sure it’s just general footsteps. iirc The Gundam Mk II uses it in Zeta. Also, like a lot of sounds from OG Gundam, they’re shared with a lot of Sunrise’s other works. It was a bit funny watching Votoms and going “hey I recognize that noise!”

If you in fact like this so much (I do as well.) there is a Kotobukiya kit, frame arms-Kobold:RE2. Has this sort of vibe, I haven't gotten it so I can't confirm if it is worth whatever price it is, but it looks neat, almost eye candy for menacing mech enjoyers.

@AngelCod-jh2qb 6 дней назад

It's really epic, I think the PIXONIC team took a little inspiration for the Ground Zero trailer. I'm not saying it's a copy (because it's not even a joke) but they look similar, although it may be because the protagonist is the nether robot since I think this one was greatly inspired by a gondam. In fact there are many Otakus in pixonic

Ya know, this could be a backstory for Rubicon and I think it fits well. Or maybe some untold mercenaries' war stories in AC universe.

@corvus9359 6 месяцев назад

Well to really get into it, this doesn't really line up with Rubicon's history. Rubicon was settled by colonists, who would form the Rubicon Research Institute. Their creations went out of control, and that led to the Fires of Ibis. Some colonists would survive the Fires of Ibis, and would become the Rubiconians we come to know in Armored Core 6. Rubicon didn't have to deal with invaders until it was discovered that there was still Coral on Rubicon, which led to the corporations arriving on the planet. I think it's best to take this short film and respect it for what it is, an original project with its own universe.

@Rasc0117 6 месяцев назад

Landing with heat shields like it's from Iron-Blooded Orphans. The charging part reminds me so much of my childhood watching the intro from Front Mission 4. The best part is keeping the camera on a unnamed pilot and their mech being all badass and competent, and then all of a sudden dying to someone else, subverting the usual expectation of that being introduction for a main character. Just grunt pilots vs. grunt pilots. Also my favorite kind of mecha. The kind of mechs where a military force would widely use for their battles and so will others. Nothing too special from other mechs apart from quirks like being lighter or heavier, use a specific loadout, new and old generations, and so on.
