Edited by: Benilopax on 26/05/2011 02:06:08 Greetings pilots!
A few years ago John Rourke aka Ian Chisholm decided to make an eve film with a difference. That project became the EVE based Machimina hit that was Clear Skies, winning an award at the Machimina Film Fest in 2008, this all happened during my podcast days so I was lucky enough to meet him one evening in a Norwich pub when he told me he planned a sequel. Clear Skies 2 was even greater than it's predecessor longer more in depth in plot and character development and on a much grander scale thanks to willing volunteers and support from CCP.
After Clear Skies 2 it seemed that Ian was exhausted after so much time working on the two films, almost all his time outside of work was eaten up by the projects. But the community wanted more, so Clear skies 3 was put into production two years ago. We now reach the end of that journey with a post made by Ian earlier today on the Clear Skies facebook group.
Quote: OK I've not gone away, thanks all for the crazy postings :) I've been doing around 15hrs a day this week, which means good progress! *twitch* Three scenes need some shots redoing with finished art assets in place. One scene (count 'em) needs the exterior shots doing and the sound foley'd and balanced.
There is then the checking, bugfixing-and-subsequent-scene-re-rendering, and the 16 hour long final render and check. All this stuff takes time, but if I continue doing how I've been doing, it should be in picture lock and at the bugfix and render stage for the weekend. Fingers crossed.
It's looking as good as I'd hoped 2 years ago, by the way ;)
Clear Skies 3 is coming!
If you haven't seen Clear Skies 1 & 2 you can find them at:

Good Luck John Rourke, here's wishing you clear skies ahead.  ----------------------------------- New Eden Chronicles: Prime, Coming soon. |

I hope this thread will not only raise the anticipation for the release but also inform newer players of the brilliance of Clear Skies.
Tell your corp mates, tell your enemies. The amount of work put in to make these films free of charge deserves recognition! ----------------------------------- New Eden Chronicles: Prime, Coming soon. |

Looking forward to another great machinima installment from John! Clear Skies is one of only two machinima series to ever hold my interest.

Clear Skies is really one of the best, funniest and entertaining pieces of fan art I've ever seen. Once I showed it to a friend who doesn't play EVE and she liked it a lot, just for the mere humour and plot twists. Kudos to Ian Chisholm!!!
One thing we could learn from this is that in the end we all like Incarna like things. What would Clear Skies be without characters? I hope that one day EVE will provide all the means necessary to make a Clear Skies like movie with just in-game content.

Clear Skies, Best Skies. 
Clever responses aside, Clear Skies really is one of the best fan-made series I've ever seen/read. 1 & 2 were are awesome, and the third's making out to be even better. I can't wait!  -----

Needs a little more Title Drop (not linking to tvtropes for that one) Now just needs this -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMRRF1jSNJU

That was a smooth way to not say that you won't watch it before putting it up.

From High Sec to null sec. From TEST to Pandemic Legion. I don't think there is anybody who can't say they disliked it.

I try my best 
But yeah, seeing as there will be some preparations to hopefully give all of you a smooth(er) download I might watching some of it while it's being replicated to all seedhosts...

Going by your comments you already got it in your possession which would mean the release is today or tomorrow depending on how fast you can get it distributed to your seedhosts?
if you are currently busy preparing a smooth launch of clear skies 3 you are allowed to take a little peek before us :P ----

No sorry to say I am not in possession of it, and I have no sure date of release either, only Ian has that.
As for the replication, it should go fairly quick to replicate, after all I'm told the movie will fit on a BD
