Made at Flinders University as a collaboration between film students and digital media students, Encounter Planet was an attempt to create an Space Opera in the style of 1970s classics, Star Wars and Star Crash. This was done using a combination of modern and older techniques. Examples are the usage of the animation technique rotoscoping and the usage of 3D printing and kitbashing to make the miniature spaceships and sets used in the film.
While a full 10 minute short film was shot and edited, the animation and effects became too extensive to be possible as a student project. This completed trailer still stands as a very impressive achievement for all those involved.
