Elite Dangerous - Thargoids of the storm (cinematic) [unofficial]

This cinematic trailer depicts the human-thargoid conflict dynamics set in Elite Dangerous universe. Footage captured entirely in-game using camera suite, without any special privileged account - the grind was real, and galaxy was traversed for those shots. Telepresence and in-person multi-crew was also used for combat scenes where piloting and recording wouldn't be a good idea.

To that end, special thanks to CMDR's Mechan, Xeno Zera, Cobalt Viper, Lion12, Jurema and Dark Step of the Anti-Xeno Initiative for seats on their impressive ships and their flying skills.

"Thargoids of the storm" was created using assets and imagery from Elite Dangerous, with the permission of Frontier Developments plc, for non-commercial purposes. It is not endorsed by nor reflects the views or opinions of Frontier Developments and no employee of Frontier Developments was involved in the making of it.

This is the kinda stuff that can resurrect a game. Looks amazing!

Dude, bar none, the best ED video I've ever seen. This should be what FDev puts out to advertise. You've done an amazing job... sends shivers down my spine! o7

Let me just say this: This is the hypest shit I have ever seen a fan make for any game I play. It's fuckin bone-chilling and I love the hell out of it. Subscribed.

OMG this is an amazing video!! Awards are deserved! The soundscapes alone! Well done CMDR. o7

[bokatan]

God tier Elite Dangerous video! The editing is beautiful 👍🏽

[ChrisGuerra]

Very good job! I feel that cutting it a little shorter would "leave them wanting more" as Seinfeld says, but that build up is perfect.

YOU HAVE ZERO BUSINESS MAKING THIS Its too good this made me wish it was a whole movie

[nickj]

Excellent video. Very atmospheric.
I'm keen to get back into the Thargoid gameplay.

[mrmisterfox]

Excellent video Cmdr.... Hats off to you sir.

[BTKLion]

Just incredible. Absolutely amazing. I'm lost for words to be honest, it's just so bloody good! Very well done man

[savasdenzz]

Best E:D video I've ever watched. Great work CMDR o7

[Slooperopols]

That is the coolest ED video I have EVER SEEN! AWESOME!!!

[HallyVee]

Very well put together music to visual timing.

[Bobio]

Beautifully done! To be honest, I'm kinda jaded with the Thargoid direction ED has taken. Although if I didn't know better, and you told me this is a trailer for a brand new space game where you dogfight with mysterious aliens, I'd be all over it.

Great video! The title tricked my head a bit and my brain is playing Riders on the Storm while watching this for a third time. 🙂

[k.g.]

I choose to believe that this is an official trailer.

[Neo-vznh]

Awesome. Great shot, I like the guarduan plasma charger effects.

That's one hell of a badass version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

[cmdrsaigon]

Great video CMDR and you captured the essence of the ongoing war too as I can feel in the images of being there over the last year on the frontline...

[hughcallaghan]

That is simply stunning ... that soundtrack and the way the visuals sync ... superb
