Gratuitous Spaceship Detailing - Scene9 Shot0 (Patreon)
Content
Hello, hello!
Here's an establishing shot from the last quarter of the film. One thing I've always enjoyed (to an unhealthy degree) is putting loads of tiny details on ships, buildings, structures etc. It's the Macross fan in me, I guess. This shot has three separate planes (background space, midground large ship and foreground miner) so I'll get some nice parallax on this shot.
Speaking of unhealthy degrees of obsession, parallax scrolling is one of mine. I think it all started when I saw this game on the Amiga home computer back in 1989. Crank the playback quality all the way up to full and just look at how smooth that grass scrolling is!

Of course, there's always this masterpiece too...

Anyway, I digress! I'm getting some dinner and then back to work!
All the best;
