OMG! Cool Idea!

So.

I've been working on my tiles- Which I could TOTALLY Greeble in 10 minutes, but I want some of the shapes to look original and I also kinda want to pay tribute to the work that went into the actual Star Wars film, so i continue to labor at it.
More about that later*.

The whole time I've been working on this video, I've been thinking of... well,
Some of you may remember that old Star Wars arcade game from back in the day?-








Yeah. THAT arcade game.




Well, you may remember that as you move up in levels, the Death Star trench run would get harder and harder. At first you would have pratically zero opposition.
Then there would be more turrets lining the walls of the trench.
THEN, there would be these bars that you had to manuever through as you flew down the trench and dodged the barrage of asterixs that came from the line of turrets on the wall.

Like this:











Now, I remember when I played the game- I thought it was an abomination to the real thing- but it did make the game hella fun!
So all this time I wanted to incorporate those walls in the Mac-Star.

I'm already going to be stepping away from the real thing because I'm going to have to line the floor of the Mac Star with some Neon tiles in order to explain the Apple-esque glow around it's center- so I thought- So what if I add some walls for the ships to fly over?! It'll add more action to the whole thing.

But I could already hear people going:
"Dude! What's up with all the barriers in the trench! That wasn't in the movie!"

But I wanted to pay tribute to the game somehow. Hmmmm...

So I was doing (REALLY ROUGH) sketches:



This is the Mac Star- that I will rebuild- You can see it as it is now on the Sith Vicious Myspace Page





And HERE is the IDEA!





What I'll do is that when Sith goes to use his "targeting computer" he'll look into the visor and "see" the video game as the graphic.

Then the graphic will have him level up to level 3- and the walls will have turrets and barriers appear.

This will surprise Sith- and he will look out at the ACTUAL trench and then he will see the actual walls and turrets in real life.


It's PERFECT!

So I will be moving on to working on that animatic after I get the trench done.




Now I have to decide at what point that will happen in the video.
