Well at least not for Underworld since it's already started and it would be weird to change it in a significant way like that... I mean like, in a past sense. |

Episode 3 recap:
So far this episode had the most going on in it which I like. The "plot" is also the most complex and I feel some people won't understand.. But they can still just enjoy the stop motion itself since like I said there's a lot going on. What I did with Trigger and a Duke was kinda weird i think... They kind of seem like terrorists killing Stormtroopers on camera... I think that was also the most confusing part. Idk audience interpretation. I just needed to show Trigger and Duke doing stuff together before Venick kills Duke. I also needed to show Trigger and Venick being friends before Venick betrays Trigger. That is hard to do simplified so I just showed Trigger saving Venick from Stormtroopers causing Venick to not be able to kill him. Maybe it's weird that the Stormtroopers came after Venick even though Venick had the green light from the Empire to kill Trigger. Maybe they were just some clueless Stormtroopers trying to stop a guy pointing a gun in a crowd.. Again audience interpretation.

As you said, I kinda feel like an audience who hasn't seen the original might be confused as to what's going on,

So I still haven't finished the finale... Idk I'm not really sure how to do it... Like I have an idea how it will go but a particular action scene I want to show will be a little tricky... But this finale will be very similar to the old season 1 finale I am also thinking about season 2. I don't want to give a whole lot of information on it because season 1 isn't even over yet but well I've created two music pieces using software... the Imperial March and Battle of the Heroes.... Idk if I will use them but if they are used they will be very appropriate.....  ..... |

Finished the finale I think it will be badass... But I think it is at least 900 pics... I'm pretty sure my computer is going to exploade.... I doubt it has the memory I may actually have to do it on another computer.. But that would suck since my "extensive audio library" is on this one...

Episode 4 Recap: I think this is my favorite episode out of the 4 so far. I really like the thumbnail as well... Lol.. Well it's pretty different. It's the first episode not to be on Coruscant. I know it's "Underworld" referring to Coruscant but every planet has an underworld of scum... That's why in the series description I put "across the galaxy" for some leeway... Audio took several tries to get right... I'm running out of good royalty free music... So I originally had some different tracks but they sounded wrong... And yeah at the end he falls into the Sarlacc... Not originally planned but they are on Tatooine. I thought it would be cool. Next episode will deal with how that turns out... Also I really wanted to do like a pirate battle like Venick's ship would've gotten boarded by them and there would've been sword fights and whatnot. I didn't do that because there really just wasn't any space for it on that small speeder... I ess I could've built something myself but idk... And the other dude wasnt supposed to die when they were rammed but it was easier that way. I thought about making Ciro the other dude but then I thought nah.. He would've died anyways |

Yeah my computer basically did explode... Movie maker literally can't handle it I think my conputer's memory is too low... Well movie maker is shit anyway I probably should invest in some better software I'm thinking maybe Sony Vegas. There's really nothing free that would work.... Yeah I've been using really basic stuff might be time to upgrade equipment since I've been doing a lot of this...
But about episode 5... Like idk my computer literally cannot do episode 5 so I had to restart it on another computer... Hopefully it will work on that but there's already some problems... So not really sure what to expect... I think worst case scenario I have to cut some scenes but I really don't want to do that that would be terrible...

But anyway I'm thinking about cancelling Underworld... I know I only did 5 episodes but like no one's really watching it... Not just here but on YouTube. I thought a Star Wars series would be popular because I've seen quite a few that are but idk... I guess it's not really something people search for... But more than that it's just way too much work. In the beginning it was alright but I've been facing all kinds of computer problems that really take the fun out of it... But like actually taking pictures and only putting them into movie maker is alright when everything is working but then there's the audio... Like I said it's just way too much work. I thought it was kind of fun at times but I don't think I can do it for 5 more episodes as I was planning... Idk I also dont want to stop at one season and I want to show the Trigger revenge stuff which was supposed to be a main plot point but idk..... Idk........ We shall see. I guess I should sort out episode 5 first. Oh and also I am getting bored of it as I knew would happen I want to do some other standalone things... |

This one was pretty good. Definitely the most fun and you're really utilizing non verbal communication well. Too bad Venick died so many times. |

Episode 5 Recap:
And that concludes season 1. I think this was another good episode. Thought it would be cool to show the Empire Strikes Back bounty hunters. I only had the minifig for Boba but I think you can more or less tell who the others are supposed to be... I could've done 4-LOM and Zuckuss as well probably but they're not as well known also 6 probably would've been too much. Anyway this episode had the most "special effects" I think I've ever done in a video... Lots of editing... And yeah even though it was like 1000 pictures, it's not even 4 minutes but it was impossible to do it on my computer because it doesn't have enough memory. The computer I did do it on made it look kind of weird though.. There were supposed to be some transitions like they have in the SW movies but they weren't working for some reason but there was honestly nothing I could do. So in Flickr Underworld, Kie-Sol remains throughout the show because I kinda needed him but I think it's kinda more realistic here. It's basically what happened to Han with Jabba although Han didn't kill Jabba. I really wanted to do the train chase as well like from Flickr underworld's season 1 finale. I thought it would be hard but it was alright. It was kind of short though. That's the problem with stop motion there's a lot of pictures and it's hard to tell how long something will be. At least for me with the way I do it. Some things are also blink and you miss it... Also I feel like it looks like the other bounty hunters died... Well they didn't because they're in TESB but it seems that way maybe.. Idk I think I should've shown them still alive.

There will be a season 2... But it will be only two episodes. Thats the minimum to show most everything I wanted to do. I could've stopped at 1 but I want to have a good conclusion so...
Anyway yeah I took pictures for episode 1 hopefully I can do it with my crap software/hardware. I'm not sure when if ever I'm going to get new stuff... But yeah I'm thinking posting it on Monday actually. It'd like a 2 week gap between seasons lol. I just want to get it over with though during the summer... Then after that I want to do this standalone Star Wars video which will hopefully generate more views than this (no episode has even a 100 views like that's pathetic lol) and then I'll probably be done with stop motion for a while. School will start so not really much time for it.

Actually I'm not sure if I'll have the season 2 premiere up today... Idk I'll just post it and the one after whenever I finish them not necessarily on a Monday...
But anyway the premiere is called "Trigger"

Episode 6 Recap: Well this was kind of the main thing I wanted to show in Underworld. So I'm glad I did at least this. I think I did pretty decent in simplifying the original plotline. I was going to show more of Trigger finding Venick but I was trying to keep it short as to not explode my computer again... It was still kinda long lol... It's kind of a sloppy episode though... Like I messed up in several areas. I forgot the door sliding sound effect in the gun store, the fire at the end looks ridiculous... I didn't realize Venick would get in the way lol.. But yeah. Some cool things to note: this was the first time I built an actual bar... I thought that looked nice. I used some different bar music as well instead of the typical track from season 1's bar scenes. Venick of course has a new design. I was going to give him longer hair but it didn't look as good. And the part where he gets the datapad from the shelf is very similar to season 1. Idk if good or bad. Anyway I think the thumbnail is kinda cool it's more "abstract" I guess. The text is also black this time because I kinda ran out of colors A big thing though is the music at the end was done by me in GarageBand... It's like an orchestral version of the Republic Commando theme with a hint of Imperial March... I think that was appropriate and it turned out pretty good except for a tiny glitch in it... But it won't be hard for me to create music for another video which is good for what I've planned. |

When I was kinda planning season 2 I wanted to do a trailer for it but I didn't because there's no point... I would've shown some teasers like Venick's new design as well but again no real point... But yeah the end is near. One episode left. I haven't actually thought of what I'm gonna do but there should be a pretty good conclusion....... |

I'm working on the series finale. It's got a lot of cool effects though the plot may be a bit lacking... The title is simply "Han Solo"...... Desperate attempt at views? I don't know what you mean.......... I was thinking of calling it "The Final Hunt" like the flickr series finale because it works for the plot here as well... But nah But yeah it is possible I may finish all of it tonight but probably not since the audio may take some time. On top of that I'm trying to make an outro for my channel and it's actually kinda hard... So it will probably be up tomorrow. Maybe I could just wait until monday but nah I want to start the project after this which remains a secret... |

Episode 7 recap: And with that Underworld is put to rest.... Oh wait I'm still doing Underworld stuff on mocpages.. damn it I don't know why I always go back to it Well there were a lot of effects in this one... This was the first time they're actually in space I thought that was cool. I really like how the Jabba hologram turned out since I don't have his figure. So yeah while the series is 10 years after ROTS this one is somehow during ANH... lol oh well. I really just wanted to show Han and Chewie since I didn't get to show Chewie in the flickr series. Technically I didn't here either since that's not his actual figure... but close enough And in the flickr series Venick and Han are kinda friends but since showing Venick's honor or whatever in this form is hard, he's just an asshole bounty hunter trying to capture him. I think it's kinda neat that Han and Jabba's background is shown here. It's really the only episode with ties to the movies. And at the end Han vs Greedo.... It's not really accurate but that's not what I was going for. And Ciro and Bailey actually show up... But they're trying to kill Venick for some reason. I thought that would be an interesting ending showing Venick is always in shit. Trigger thinks he's dead for now but their seemingly never ending battle will probably begin again... I wanted so badly to use the cantina music but I didn't want to risk getting copyrighted... I originally put it in and I liked it a lot.. I didn't pick an alternative either because that would be weird.. It sucks :\ And the outro.... It's a start. I will definitely improve it in the future but I'm glad I was able to have something because I've wanted it for a while |

So since Underworld was cut short here are the things I was wanting to show but didn't:
- Ciro of course. I said he'd be in season 2 but since I cancelled he wasn't included (except the end cameo). He'd be introduced in the premiere. Venick gets revenge on the pirates who throw him into the sarlacc and he takes their ship and is a pirate for one episode until returning to hunting. Ciro would have been a member of the pirate crew.
- I wanted to show Obi-Wan in that premiere episode as well since they are on Tatooine... But idk maybe it's good I didn't since I wasn't really sure what to do with him.
- Vader and possibly Inquisitors were supposed to show up as well. Just more Imperial stuff in general. I even made some Imperial music in GarageBand but I will use that for something else... But Vader is same as Obi-Wan not sure how he would've really fit...
- I thought about Kerk and Cade. For Kerk there wouldn't be any Hikado stuff though
Yeah I think that's kinda it. The original plan was for 5 episodes in season 2 so I likely would've shown most if not all of that stuff. But nope cancelled..
I'm glad I did these last two episodes to kind of qualify it as being a multiple season series... Anway it was pretty fun I guess. Some moments were frustrating but it was cool to do a stop motion series. I just wish it was getting more views but I guess it's not really a popular topic

So the next "project" I've been mentioning is... Anakin vs Obi-Wan. I've wanted to do this for a long time but I thought it would be hard. Hopefully it works out. I want it to be in an "artistic" style as well so it won't exactly be a remake of the duel. This will possibly be my last stop motion ever.... Or at least until next summer.. Idk. But I think it's been about 2 years for my channel and this one has been the most productive yet |

Geez Venick is fucking invincible.
But yeah, cool series. Lots of great moments. Obviously doesn't compare to the original series but it was fun.

Geez Venick is Potato is Awesomeing invincible. But yeah, cool series. Lots of great moments. Obviously doesn't compare to the original series but it was fun. Yeah... I think shooting him all those times with no effect may have been too much.. But thanks. And yeah I suppose the original is more complex and I like the stories of it more but I think I like watching this better. I'm just kinda "proud"...... I don't want to be like egotistical or whatever but I guess seeing the end result of harder work is satisfying........ |
