Are there any fan videos of BattleTech?

Do you mean fan films?

I found only few so far and even fewer that are of decent quality. The best by far is this project by animation students, although the YouTube-stream is of terrible quality:



I wanted to link more, but this forum does not allow me to do so.... ("More media files than you are allowed to")


And then I am working on my own fan film, details coming soon...

Yeah, that video looks good but ... The quality leaves something to be desired. And maybe the acting as well.

But it's been 6-years since that inception and I'm sure better results can be done now .. Even for a school.

I'm surprised no one has done a Red VS Blue like machinimation with Mechwarrior 4 or Living Legends game play. I wish I had the time to learn how myself.

I will be uploading about 30 videos, all fan based, to my youtube channel this afternoon.
Got work till about 5pm. These videos are from all of the MW series and some animated ones aswel.

Just keep on eye on my channel: http://www.youtube.c...Screen/featured

Wow, that was fantastic, thanks for posting. I would love to see that in a longer version or made into a film.It certainly would blow away all the current junk that's playing at the theatres lol. Look forward to seeing your work also.

I am generally amazed at the lack of fan made animation. There are a few animation tests and so forth on YouTube, but Mechs are really easy enough to do to at least do some short battle animation. Apparently only very few people ever go that far.

That film is a good example of what I mean. Some nice stuff in there. But the choice of music is questionable to say the least...

For anyone who knows German it's kind of awkward to hear someone sing about masturbation while watching Mechs shoot at each other. Very weird.

lol Yeah, you really need to read up on lyrics Rammstein if you don't know German but most people pick their music just for the instrumental (then it becomes a 'wait, wut?' moment)

The lack of Battletech / Mechwarrior animations always bugged me so I decided to learn to make my own.

This is my most recent one but my work has improved greatly since finishing it.



What the next one will look like:

Not bad! For a first run not bad at all. Hope to see you do more.

We need more videos. Are there any on other video hosting sites maybe?

[FallenNight]

they so need to make a movie base on mechwarrior its long over do anyone else agree?

[Fraustie]

Crap, I can't get videos to embed here .. How are you guys doing it?

[McNik97]

Made it myself

[Steel Raven]

I suddenly remeber that there is a Sci-Fi You Tube movie in the works inspired by Battletech

If there ever is a Mechwarrior movie, I want these guys to make it.
