Thanks so much for the opportunity! This is amazing work, as expected. O7 You make Star Citizen shine through your photography & cinematography. The sound design and set pieces were incredible, and the shots match the original perfectly. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
No, thank YOU for lending your voice and time to the project... right in the middle of moving to Turkey and finding your house far more damaged than you were expecting. I don't know how you did it.
This is not original, this is just "copying" the scenes from another video (very good work tho, just claryfing). Go check the original short film, is a masterpiece.
Simply can’t use words to describe how great this is. The editing, shot angles, narratives, music… Everything is just… for real I can’t use word to describe… Perfectly in sync and balanced! Would be great if include in IAE expo in real life, pretty sure can blow lots of people away
We really appreciate that. We tried to recreate within Star Citizen an amazing short film by Erik Wernquist called "Wanderers". If you haven't seen his original, check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YH3c1QZzRK4.html
This is such a great Video. I love the Anthropology approach. And the cinematic imagery is incredible. I'd love to say... Bring more! ( I wasn't aware that it is based on a Sagan Narration)
Thanks! And yes, Wernquist's original "Wanderers" uses snippets of Sagan himself reading from his Pale Blue Dot. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YH3c1QZzRK4.html
I've watched a lot of Star Citizen fan cinematics since 2019. Most of them were great. This one is a masterpiece. You've proven to us again why you are one of the masters of photography in the Star Citizen community. Tomato also rounded off the whole thing perfectly with his voice. Great job guys.
Thank you... but only one scene was shot in 3.23 (the EVA scene). We've been working on this video for the last four years and have been recording footage for it since 3.18.
That flyby with the new EVA at 2:46 and that flyby before that…❤️😍👌 This is truely better than anything they come up with…and they do it in engine whereas you guys do it ingame…this is awesome🙌🏻
Thanks Frustmaster!! We really appreciate it. And it's good seeing you still around and paying attention. I wish you'd come back and make more videos though.
This is AMAZING. Sometimes I feel like Star Citizen can't get any better and then I stumble across something like this video. You all captured the grace and poetry of the vision and dream of this space sim and the reason we are all here.
Nicely done boys. Tomato has a soothing voice as is evident of his following. I liked the slow moving aspects of the shots, it felt like an iMax movie in a way.
Thanks. It was a total team effort over the last four years with DamnShame and Utho. And SpaceTomato was gracious enough to step in and lend us his voice.
Well, technically, the writing of the words the narrator is speaking is Carl Sagan. The video is based on a short film by Erik Wernquist called "Wanderers". We then adapted his video to be within Star Citizen... so if anything, we wrote an adapted screenplay. But check out Erik's original, it's magical: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YH3c1QZzRK4.html
Excellent work, really hope this is shown to the CIG teams at one of their team meetings, they should see what their work has inspired. Look forward to more Mr Hasgaha
@@Hasgaha you did it, even if it's hard to do. Very smart to use the merlins to replace wingsmen on titan, and Eva to replace people jumping on Uranus or Neptune moon :)
@@Muscida_ Thank you for saying that. We really struggled with those two scenes specifically. The Merlin idea came to Utho pretty early but the logistics of filming it SMOOTHLY was challenging. That cliff jumping scene really had us scratching our heads for the last 3+ years. I think the EVA replacement worked beautifully.
Thank you! Any sort of video work within Star Citizen takes a lot of time and patience. We tend to be perfectionists in our attempts, so it takes us even longer. But I'm glad some of that pays off in the end.
@@Hasgaha it most definitely did pay off, some of the scenes look like straight out of a movie, i am absolutely in love with the two Corsairs scene, i can watch it forever! Absolutely incredible work, thank you for showing it to us!
Video quality 11/10 (+1 for it being a video) Story 8/10 (desperate for more story :p) And the fact you collaborate with other awesome content creators makes this SC journey together totally worth it! 🥳
Thanks, we appreciate that. But just to warn you, my/our content tends to be this cinematic style. It takes a lot of planning and time in game to accomplish. And we only make the videos when we have an idea worth doing. So... no kind of regular schedule or frequency here.
@@Brandon-bd8fk I know for sure at least two CIG employees have seen it. But at this point, it's been shared among them, so many more should have seen it by now.
Ohh!!! that Sci-fi vibe just got me!!! Amazing work you all!! the visuals are STUNNING!!! and Space Tomato is, as if Morgan Freeman was narrating. Stunning!
@@elfootman I have mentioned it in comments. But we list Erik Wernquist and his original film "Wanderers" in the credits at the end of our video (along with Carl Sagan and his Pale Blue Dot book). This is also the first sentence in the video description: This is Arts&Crafts’ Star Citizen in-game recreation of the brilliant short film “Wanderers” by Erik Wernquist. As of writing this reply, there are over 400 comments. Some of my responses have included a link to Wernquist's original which you clearly didn't see either?
You and those you team up with never disappoint. Top tier cinematography and storytelling. You captured the spirit of why I backed Star Citizen. See you in the verse. o7
Thanks. We've been making cinematic videos in SC for years. We spend a lot of time storyboarding, scripting, and planning because we know trying to film in game can be a nightmare. The planning for this video started just over 4 years ago. Filming started maybe a year later. And then yes, actual time in game to get seconds worth of footage was hours at times. But, we enjoy it.
Nice! Perfect voice for a dreamer! I can't believe I'm saying this, everything in the clip was great, I wish SC has more variety in its biome and creatures, so that it captures the sense of discovery and distant voyage better. The cinematography and the directing are also epic! Great works!
Thanks. To answer your question: Too much time and an annoying level of perfectionism is probably the simplest answer. Each scene in the video is about 10-15 seconds. For a single 15 second clip, it's probably at least 3-4 hours in game not including reshoots for issues we find later. Then lots of work in post to smooth out the playback and clean up graphical issues. And of course, there is all sorts of pre-production prep work before we ever jump in to the game.
