π¬ AT-AT WALKERS β Star Wars Animated Fan Film Growing up, AT-ATs were perfectly cool β but as you get older you do start to wonder how much of a genuinely terrifying attack vehicle a slow, top-heavy, four-legged walker really is. Exposed joints, lumbering gait, vulnerable to a tow cable and a couple of snowspeeders... π This short animation from Jeremy Cummins does a nice job of turning the volume back up on these things and reminding you why they were so iconic in the first place. Watching them intensely blast away is highly satisfying. It's a nicely executed piece. For the nerds β and I mean that affectionately β here's how Cummins built this entirely solo in about two weeks: The AT-ATs were modelled and rigged from scratch in Autodesk Maya, then brought into Unreal Engine 5.3 for animation, lighting and real-time rendering β which gives everything that cinematic weight and atmosphere. Final editing and colour work was handled in DaVinci Resolve 18.6, with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator rounding out the toolkit. Every part of the pipeline, one person. Impressive. π Created by: Jeremy Cummins - www.youtube.com/knonfil π Rate and review HUNDREDS of epic full fan made films at FANFILMEMPIRE.COM π¬ Made a Star Wars fan film?
