Planet TR-57: Pilot

Description: There's a reason why Planet TR-57 is the galactic dumping ground for Clone Troopers who don't quite fit in. This pilot episode was the proof-of-concept for the series, and its success has inspired us to push forward with the full-fledged web series. Our first experiment with stop-motion and greenscreen, the pilot episode taught us the economy of movement and the value of a well-lit set. The pilot features a MOC (My Own Creation) by Chris Wunz of the Clone Wars-era Heavy Cannon. The cannon has a working worm-gear which allowed us to easily animate the cannon movements in the short.
