I enjoy a great deal a well made mock up. That style.
I'm now turning to you. Find what ever you tube clips you can (p720 or better), Download with a you tube downloader, edit and post here a fan made trailer mock up thing with credits to the owners of the pieces. You'll get extra credits for the use of the original Dark Star clips (found on tube)
The title slate should be the (any font, ´50´s sci fi style for extra credits)
"Flight of T.H.E. Leviathan - from the people who saw Dark Star"
The colour scheme and the feeling you get from the teaser one - concept art slide show, found on U-tube. (blue-purple-red - black or shades of gold)
The story to be told should be as follows.
- Aliens come with a ufo type thing above Auckland New Zealand
- Aliens' ship blows up destroying earth
- T.H.E. Leviathan is activated (you can use the blender model found in the other task. It is not complete yet, but close enough)
- T.H.E. Leviathan destroys suns in nova/supernova that destroys planets around them using a black hole (singularity) torpedoes
- They do this for 20 years, 40 stars destroyed
- The crew is unmotivated and are arguing (the captain died in the beginning of the mission.)
- W.T.F. Hakkaapaeaelle finds Leviathan and tries to stop/stall them.
- She fails and falls into the singularity drive of T.H.E. Leviathan.
- If you can make a space battle scene with T.H.E. Leviathan and ... say Potkustart, the better.
