This next 3-part story arc was a LOT of fun to make and I really was excited to get the Raider outside in my parent's backyard and explore around with it a little bit.
Okay, just jump into it gang and I'll meet you back under the last photos for Director's commentary!
Oh and be sure to click each image to expand it for easier reading!
Uh-oh! It looks like Banzai stepped right in it! Nah not really, we know they are good guys but you gotta end these episodes on a cliffhanger.
Okay, behind the scenes stuff! This photo was a random shot from a weird angle and blurry, so it leads me to believe that it's an accidental photo. Yes, now I remember, it was because that piece of cardboard is what I would kneel on when taking the photos.
This was a video I tried to shoot where the Raider is supposed to be driving through the grass. Problem with this is, the treads are fake so it's hard to roll on dead grass and dirt. It's still cool to see it "in motion":
These next 2 shots were supposed to be as Banzai drove the scout craft of the Raider out for a test drive, he approaches a clearing by the base of a weeping pine tree.
If memory serves me, I beleive I decided it would be a better reveal to see one Redwood at a time instead of them both at once. OR seeing nothing either.
Oh this next shot was supposed to be panel #6 but as the canopy is such a dark smokey plastic, you can barely see Hot Seat and Captain Grid-Iron inside it. So, onto the cutting room floor it went!
Okay this last deleted scene is my attempt at a little stop-motion video showcasing the two HUGE missiles that come up and out of the Raider when it's in "outpost mode". You can see how it looks closer here too, as the Raider without the scout module is completely immobile. But don't fret, Hot Seat's got a LOT of fire power and it can rotate 360° letting them attack from any angle at any time.
God I love this vehicle so much.
On to Part 2! Quick, hurry up! We gotta see what happens to Banzai!!!
