Special THANK YOU video for my supporters. Hope you enjoy the film, and of course, THANK YOU for your help!

One more behind the scenes film. ROBOT TROUBLE!

Have a new behind the scenes clip up: THE FISH HEAD SCENE!!!

Just posted my first behind-the-scenes clip. Will have several more. Check the first one "GOOSH! THAT HURTS!!" at www.projectrobotech.com Ah, the joys of working with your wife...

You made me laugh pretty hard with the helmet comment. Hey, just like they gave Cameron a hard time about the seemingly 'open air' cockpit of his helicopter in Avatar, there's a bulkhead, it's sealed off! The helmet has other weapons and communication uses. : ) I do appreciate all of your comments particularly the triggers for the flashbacks. The difference with my film is that I wanted both storylines to have equal weight, although they appear as flashbacks they weren't meant to be. It was supposed to be two stories being told real time, but I don't think that came across too well. Yeah, VO was a tough call and agree that it should be minimized as much as possible. Check this one link out: This film was a big inspiration, where the VO plays a different role. I didn't exactly emulate the style, but once you see it, you'll get the drift. ZINJO, are you a filmmaker as well? Your comments lead me to believe you are in the biz. Thanks for your comments!

With such a short amount of time, wanted to establish that loneliness and connection with life on earth, but it was difficult. I probably would have used score a little bit more to push that. Appreciate the thoughts and hope it does well too! Please share it if you can to anyone who you think would enjoy it!

Totally agree. I definitely had in mind exactly what you are describing, in fact wanted to have an exterior shot showing the Rau just feet from his cockpit from the side. The two staring at each other. Also, as you said, a master shot showing the damaged VF-1 floating helplessly and the Rau slowly pulling away and then flying off and leaving him alone. Unfortunately, Visual Effects were limited and were a major hurdle for me. If I had to do it over again would have searched for Visual Effects artists here on Macross World or any of the Robotech forums. I'm happy with what my artist made for me, but to ask someone to work for free and create multiple shots is tough...need someone passionate about Macross/Robotech. I had to cut maybe six visual effects from my original. Nice feedback, it is definitely well taken.

Added new version with updated credit sequence and better color correction. No major changes, but without annoying YouTube Pop Ups etc. You can see it at either www.projectrobotech.com or directly here on YouTube: Thanks again for the encouragement. I hope it works. Will keep going at it and releasing some other fun films. Let me know if you have any questions!

Probably the same guy. Not many David Hou's doing production in NYC, so very likely. Not sure who/what DramaFever is. I appreciate your comments. Out of curiosity, when you say "more of a reveal" do you mean perhaps not enough pay off? i.e. twist to the story, or finality? Or do you literally mean maybe seeing more of Miriya the Ace pilot? To give everyone and update: So, will have a new version of "Midnight Sky" out soon with perhaps new score, subtle changes. Also, if you haven't seen our Dance Video Extravaganza, it's up now on the site. We are having a screening in NYC this Sunday from 2-3PM at Anthology Film Archives on 2nd and 2nd (St) if anyone in the NY area wants to come out to meet myself and some of the cast and crew. Just email me at tana@projectrobotech.com if you'd like a seat. The event is free, but need to collect RSVPs. Until next time!

Appreciate the thoughtful comments. Thanks.

Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate it. And I STAND CORRECTED regarding the MiG. It was indeed the Agressor F-5. But just so you know I'm not totally crazy, I recall that this F-5 was used in the actual movie Top Gun to simulate MiGs. "The aircraft used for the fictional MiG-28s are Northrop F-5E (single seat) and F (two seat) Tiger IIs, which were used by TOPGUN as aggressor aircraft." - Trivia from Top Gun IMDB page. Thanks again for the comments and for watching the film. If you'd like to help me fulfill this dream of becoming a Veritech Fighter Pilot, you can subscribe to FB, Twiiter or any of those services. I'll be posting behind the scenes and more! In fact, we just put up a Minmei music video up at www.projectrobotech.com. I'll be back here periodically to answer any other questions anyone might have. I appreciate the support! Tana

Honesty is all I'd ask for, so thank you guys for your feedback. I know it's not perfect but still happy with the final film. I love hearing other perspectives because I'm hearing some very interesting observations. Re: Cockpit - If you notice in the credits, I thank the Empire State Aerosciences Museum (www.esam.org). We actually went there to shoot in real fighter cockpits. The working cockpit is a Mig, and the more close up shots (Ace attack) were in a cockpit simulator. The museum was so good to us. I'll be releasing some behind the scenes videos, including a lot of the ESAM stuff...so please join my Robotech Facebook Fan Page or Twitters so you can see it.

I first want to say that I am well aware that Robotech is combined and edited story. I created my original live action fan-film ("Midnight Sky") very much as a nostalgic tribute to my childhood and the times I recall sitting in front of the TV glued to every frame of Robotech. The film began as a reaction to the announcement of the plans to make a live-action Robotech feature film, but in the end became much more to me. To watch my film and read MY STORY, please visit Project Robotech I hope you enjoy it for what it is, and I welcome any feedback. I truly hope it is something Robotech and Macross fans alike can enjoy. Thanks for your time and consideration.
