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.

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.

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!

Just noticed from the trailer; do our plucky crew end up in a fleet tempest?

Good news is, here in the UK we have a bank holiday on Monday. And the only thing I can think that could stop Ian now is either the Football, Grand Prix, or Doctor Who; none of which will delay him long. Anyone wanna start running bets on release?
