What’s boring in acting ? Acting
Let’s do it in Blender
A more complex short
The second short features a wider variety of environment, exterior scenes including at large scale. There also are a lot more shots in general. It was done before the release of Starfield under the following premise : Starfield will have the same flaws and Strength as Skyrim but will have a few extra problems due to the announced size of the game (over 1 000 planets).
The result will be a mostly empty game, but with a few amazing planets or cities that will make up for all the problems
Self critique
The final shots tend to be noisy. The spaceship looks extremely plasticky, almost like a toy. The first planet seen from space reflects light way too much giving it a “fake” feel. The shots on the planet are way too narrow which would make the understanding of the story harder. Botstar has no facial animation and relies entirely on sound; he would have benefited from being able to show emotions on his face. The grass doesn’t look like grass. In the shot with the plane landing the mountain does not look like a mountain. When Botstar looks at the city; the city looks a lot more like village. A train passes too but the scale is completely off, which would make the train bigger than the buildings themselves. Some frames did not render properly and a “Media offline” message appears
Overall a good short. I would rate it at 6.5/10.
I was wrong
Starfield did not unfortunately turn out the way I expected. There were indeed empty planets and the handmade places did turn out much better; on the other hand there wasn’t enough of them to make the game be great overall. Bethesda did not play to its strengths
