"Ashes, Rust, and Dust", a mechwarrior inspired short film.
« on: 02 March 2012, 19:31:27 »
Hello my name is Tyr Rollins and I am a long time battletech fan and film producer.  My team and I have thus created this short mechwarrior inspired film.  We hope you enjoy.

Awesome sauce! This looks pretty promising :D

If you need voice actors, I'd be happy to provide my voice (or any of my reasonably good imitations).

Thank you all, we are glad you guys found it enjoyable.  This is kind of a proof of concept for a short webseries we are working on.   As of the current moment we are working on a live action remake of the Starcraft: Broodwar intro.  When we finish that, we will get to working on Ashes again, hopefully with much more resources then what we had to do the prologue with.  I know the BT community is starved for some quality live action BT/bt inspired material.  It is our goal to provide that.

I guess maybe original content would be a better term.

It still depends your definition of "original content".  If its a question of right to use and distribute, then everything, ie we have the rights to every asset.  If its a question of what assets my team personally created then all the compositing and one mech mesh and a little of the footage.   Your question is very vague and highlights the complexities of film creation.   It is a legitimate question never the less.
