Letters From Vega - Part 1 [Star Citizen Machinima]

Support the project on the community hub:

With many in the UEE senate arguing that expenses towards the UEE military are excessive and with Vanduul activity in the system greatly decreased. Dalynn Cross and Eddie Daniels are sent to Aremis, Vega II, to visit one of the planets military installations and document the base operations.

Directors Notes:

Letters From Vega is one of the most ambitious cinematic projects ever undertaken within the Star Citizen community with a complete production pipeline which includes full body and facial capture, the entire library of public Star Citizen game assets and one of the most highly talented casts ever assembled. I bit off far more than I could chew with this project and it was damn well worth if only for the huge amount of fun it was to make! I hope you can now enjoy it too.

- Alex

Yess, I have been waiting for this. I love the voice acting so much!

[DeltaPhoenix]

Thoughts, in order:

-Huh, what's this?
-Hey, Bored Gamers on the news!
- Huh, lotta people dressed up as ODSTs, is there a convention somewhere? Where do I get one?
- Really sweet drive through the base. me some spaceships (woot! Gemini and Vanguards!)
now I see why most everyone was wearing helmets, facial animation is a bit janky.
-Are those guards at the doors asleep? First one let a news team exit an office without an escort, second one lets them into a command center
-About time someone was doing their job and noticed the news team filming things.
-Oh boy, LT, you are so fired after this.
-Awesome ships again, woot!
-Capital ship crashes into the ground. Makes me wonder how that's going to be implemented in game as even crashes of fighter size craft can be very destructive IRL.
-Need moar. Plz make more.

On a serious note, how many episodes do you think this will be?

[LemonToGo]

*I absolutely love this!* Please continue on doing this!

EDIT: Watching this the third time right now

[nightlight]

This is freakin' cool. Excellent voice acting...
5:13 you don't mess with that fleet of Vanguards

[momotaro]

People who love this game will really appreciate the world these folks put together into real place in SC where stuff happens. Really great work. I play using TrackIR, and several times I turned my head to look around, which was hilarious. And so glad to see Bored's next move after the youtubes may be the expanding world of radio!

Hell...this is awesome. Star Citizen is becoming much more than just the game i originally backed for. I can't even imagine how awesome it will get when we get the Face over IP and fully fleshed out cameramode. This one felt like one of those moments when CIG totally blew my expactations. Very well done guys and thanks for sweeten the long (and sometimes tiring^^)journey for the best SciFi-game. Batteries fully recharged. o7

[centronox]

Great job, I hope one day we get to see the rest. Hope you're having fun at CIG.

[celadewallace]

Seeing that scramble mid-interview gave me goosebumps...

[SlightlyDecent]

Holy crap! That was AMAZING! I was glued to my seat the entire time. The atmosphere, characters, voice acting, plot all intrigued me and pulled me me in. Please, please, please continue with this machinima. Best I've seen in a long time. Liked and Subscribed! Cheers!

[deadmemesrus]

Great Job! The character animations were slightly off but there's not much you can do about that. This was one hell of a feat to accomplish and the vehicular action was amazing, especially in the final scene with the massive ship crashing. Was a little unsure about the first person view for the entire thing but hey thats just personal preference. One hell of a hats off to you sir!

[DAngel]

Usually I don't expect too much from stuff like this, after all its just a Machinima. But already after the intro I was totally blown away. Awesome job, guys! Can't wait to see Part 2!

[curlyx]

This is a big win. Amazing job guys. Love seeing FiendishFeather, BoardGamer, Teller, Terallian and so many others taking part in this effort. I've watch so many of all of your videos over the years and It's always re-energized my love for this game. CIG needs to promote this.

[sirturi]

It cant get any better than this! You got my full respect, for this amazing Project.

[markable]

PART 2! PART 2! Or we'll show up with laz0r torches and space pitchf0rks!

Very cool video.

[Popo-ul]

Great work! Can't wait to see more like it in future. A great example of what the star citizen community is capable of. would love to see what the new assets look like if used.

[muf]

This community keeps blowing my mind again and again. This is some skilled Citizens. Keeps it up and can’t wait for next episode.

[FrostySkull]

Good job Alex! All that hard work, haven't even started the video yet but I know this is going to pay off.

[cptcarot]

That was great, really enjoyed watching it. Was a bit gutted when it ended. Can't wait for Part 2, If you need any other voice overs, I would be willing to audition.

[arteoverby]

that was awesome! left me feeling the need to jump into Arena Commander in a Vanguard ship and go practice Vanduul Swarm.

[jeffkovacs]

What a great way to begin! That was some truly impressive work guys... CAN NOT WAIT for the next part. Please keep us posted!
