Lost in Space Crash Sequence "Work Print"

[MARK M3]

Just a simple work print of a SPFX Sequence featuring my model work and practical effects. Of course it still needs some clean up here and there(wire removal) but it’s getting there. The video features two models. A 9.6" Gemini 12 and the interior of a Moebius 1:35 Jupiter 2. It was edited together several days ago. I thought there would be some interest in how it was put together. Thanks!

Where did you film this? Are the rocks natural or did you make those too?

LOL! I filmed it in my back yard! The rocks and such come from my collection of photos from the actual filming site!Some generously given to me by John Eaves! However, I am debating on scratch building the pinnacle you see in the final photograph to scale. To film this at the actual filming site would be impractical...1 I am on the East Cost and the original stuff was filmed in California and 2, if if forced perspective was applied the model is only 1/5 the size of the actual 4' miniature used in the original.

Ah gotcha. Was watching on my phone and didnt notice it was a composite shot! Nice job. I'd be interested in knowing how you do the wire removal? Im sure things have come a long way since I dabbled in After Effects etc like 20 years ago!

Great stuff...just a trick to make sure your next sequence blends nicely with the other:
The first sequence : shot from the cockpit with exterior rocks + background has a slight problem; the shot seems to stop and then switches to the saucer flying over the same rocks. To avoid such stop in the movement of the sequence, I usually called for "Action" making sure there was a movement before I started filming the model/action sequence. That way you shot will be more seamless with the continuity of the action
