Entry #35

Launch Bay Alpha

This animation is based on the Battlestar Galactica movie and TV series from the late 70's. The Viper launch sequences were a big highlight in the movie and series. However, some aspects were never seen such as how did the Vipers get to the launch tube ? I decided to make a launch bay based on a hand made plastic model crafted by someone known as Darkmoonspirit. My version shows the Vipers being pushed along a track into the tube by a "truck". The launch bed moves forward to a predetermined spot then the door closes. The most fun had by me was making the launch bay and all the moving parts. Coco's voice was done in Balabolka then fed into Poser's Talk Designer. The lip sync isn't perfect but could be tweaked up by adjusting the speed of the .wav file or reducing the space between the spoken words or perhaps a bit of both. I didn't keep track of the hours spent and these are two separate segments rolled into one.

Hours Spent: 40
Software Used: Anim8or, PoserPro 2014, Balabolka, Audacity 2, VSDC Video Editor
