Gentlemen

After the recent completion of a platoon of 15mm Critical Mass Game walkers I felt inspired to see how they would do in a Stop-Motion movie up against some GZG vehicles :) Here's one for your entertainment :)

Awesome! I need some of those Old Crow buildings…

The conga-line-o'-doom and the walker getting blown to smithereens really made that movie. Great going!

Capt John Miller15 Nov 2009 5:56 p.m. PST

AWESOME! The music/dialog brings back some memories of teh Mechwarrior computer game days. Keep it up! By all means, keep it up! Nice paint jobs by the way!

Nice. Very nice. =]

cool…kind of like Spiderman spitting out batten and kleenex.

Ivan DBA15 Nov 2009 8:01 p.m. PST

Well done! I felt sorry for the Cadet in his immobilized mech though!

I miss that computer game where you're getting the soundtrack from. THAT WAS A FUN GAME!

Good job!

mad monkey 116 Nov 2009 8:02 a.m. PST

Brilliant. The tanks and walkers looked superb.

It hadn't really occurred to me before, but bailing out of an immobilized walker would be a lot harder than unassing a tank.

Rubber Suit

Good point ! A necessity to have an ejection seat like in the Battletech Mechs I suppose.

hi vulture
it will be streamed in the player which runs constantly.You could also try the on demand section of the player.choose warboots uk tv and scroll down the list.
we have about 15 hrs of footage on there running and it grows every couple of days.

That was great fun. An effective variation on the Mech Warrior 2 (1995) intro video – here's a very poor youtube of it YouTube link

The MWII intro was the best and most dramatic mech warrior video IMO in any of their games!

It fit perfectly with your video – I loved the line of vehicles getting pounded, very much put me in mind of Michael wittman (A german Tiger tank commander who did something similar to an unfortunate column of British tanks that were caught in a sunken lane).

Great stuff!

Yes I agree, the MWII is the standard by which all other mech vids have been judged since. I just couldn't resist using the soundtrack…

Must confess I did have Wittman slightly in mind when shooting the parked column up :)

Tailoring the action to fit with the soundtrack was quite interesting. I ended up with about 30 seconds of footage that I had to cut. I might be able to use some of it in a future movie though :)

That was some great footage! Fantastic work and bravo to your cameraman. The sound was excellent, too.

Someone needs to warn the CMG guys about those vulnerable hip actuators.
