"rocketeer 20th anniversary" fanfilm

HOW COOL WOULD IT BE TO SEE THIS AS A TV SHOW ?!

"I laughed, I cried. Dave would have loved this wonderful hommage that totally captures the warmth, action and humor of his creation. Thank you for making this!"
William Stout - williamstout.com/

Dave would have been impressed. It should be a televison series!
Paul De Meo - Rocketeer co-writer & co-screenwriter imdb.com/name/nm0210290/

I was fairly close with Dave (we worked together on a number of projects) and I know he would have dug this...

    I haven't seen Rocketeer yet,

    Absolutely loved it. Will feature it on OMFGeek later today. Rocketeer always makes me feel like a kid again, so it's wonderful to see there are other fans out there. I would totally watch a series based on this animation.

  •  
  • Wouter Bongaerts 7 months ago
    Nice animation.
    It reminded me a bit too much of the beginning scenes of Up though, also how the little guy is designed with the big glasses.
    Very professional looking.
  • John Banana plus 7 months ago
    Hey there...
    indeed...but we completed this before discovering UP in theatre...it's pure coincidence... when I saw it, I was...damn... :)
  • Wouter Bongaerts 7 months ago
    Waw yeah, seems like they got it from you. :)
    Very solid piece of work all the way through.
    All the best.

    Love it! Billy Campbell came and learned to hang glide where I lived in TN.

    What was the timeline on the production from start to finish? Did you all already have most of these assets modeled? Would love to hear more about the production!

    Great job!

    Very, very enjoyable with nice touches of character humor. I don't know how it'd appeal to these kids today, but I would certainly watch! (Wish we'd seen some of Jenny.)

  • Jenn Hagman 7 months ago
    I loved the Rocketeer movie growing up.

    This piece was really nice. Although I feel the flying could use some work? Seems a bit slow and the weight of the flying and running bugs me.
    But I must say I still really liked this piece. Simple, attractive and fun.

    INCREDIBLE! One of my all time favourite films. Nice work, would definitely not mind if something like this were to inspire a tv series of some kind. Heroes are just not as classic as they used to be.

  • John Banana plus 7 months ago
    Thanks a lot guyz...
    I'm very happy to see this little movie is spreading...

    to answer a few questions :

    - it was made on 3dsmax, with very simple scanline renders...

    - most of the sets are camera mapping...

    - it's hard to say how much time we spend on it...
    but not so much...people came sometimes on the project for just a few days... it was made with economy in mind...

    - we didnt use origianl Rocketeer soundtrack (wich I looooove) for legal reasons...

    - we finish this in 2009...and the little kid playing with plane was done long before I discovered UP... of course when I saw UP in theatre, 1st think I though, people will say we copy ^^

    - Paul Jilbert : I'm happy to read this...I wish he would have seen it, as I sent him the 1st version of the characters around 2004...

    - Lucas R. : we built everything aside from our commercial projects... and the project spread on a long timeperiod because of this...but if you put all together, it was probably a few months...
