KSP Vintage Propaganda Newsreel style

[thrashing mad]

Hello. I would like to present to you compilation of intros from my let's play series, made with retro/1950s/60s/70s style in mind. It's in Polish, but you get the idea .

'Eagle' Program:

1 - First rocket in space

2 - First artificial satelite

3 - First kerbal in space (failed re-entry)

4 - Successful manned suborbital flight

5 - Orbital flight and space-walk

'Pegasus' Program:

1 - Munar impact probe

2 - Munar satelite

3 - Clumsy, but succesful probe landing

4 - Munar rover

5 - Sample return mission

'Hawk' Program:

1 - Succesful flight of jet plane.

2 - Supersonic flight

3 - Long range, north-pole and back, flight

4 - Space plane flight, X-15 style

'Hermes' Program:

1 - Orbital randezvous with 'Eagle 2' satelite

2 - Orbital docking (after several explosive failures)

3 - Flight to the orbit of Mun, mid-flight docking, reconnaissance of Munar surface ('strange object' spotted)

4 - Apollo style Munar landing, near damaged 'Pegasus 4' rover (which is repaired)

5 - Apollo style Munar landing with rover (crashed)

5 - Apollo style Munar landing with rover, pilots drive to investigate 'strange object'

'Ulisses' Program:

1 - Minmus impact probe, via gravity assist from Mun

2 - Duna impact probe

3 - Moho impact probe, via gravity assist from Eve

Hope you enjoyed it, more to come in the future.

Thanks. However, keep in mind that my vids are made with Polish language.

[zekes]

wow what program is that? i love it, really good quality stufff....

You mean software? I'm using cyberlink power director - had to run footage through a lot of effects to achieve this kind of look.

[zekes]

yeah that's what i meant. Anyway beautirul work.

[Specialist290]

I remember these from before the forum crash. Nicely done!

[eurybaric]

Wow! I don't understand Polish but i guess that just adds to it

do more do more!

Cheers/

[thrashing mad]

Thakns guys. More to come. Great that we got flags with 0.20, because my next program 'Hermes' is an Apollo program reenactment.

[Conarr]

I really liked these. The cinematography was very good, particularly the nose flyby on your second or third hawk reel

[thrashing mad]

Next program completed (equivalent of Apollo)

'Hermes' Program:

1 - Orbital randezvous with 'Eagle 2' satelite

2 - Orbital docking (after several explosive failures, LES saved crew each time)

3 - Flight to the orbit of Mun, mid-flight docking, reconnaissance of Munar surface ('strange object' spotted)

4 - Apollo style Munar landing, near damaged 'Pegasus 4' rover (which is repaired)

5 - Apollo style Munar landing with rover (crashed)

6 - Apollo style Munar landing with rover, pilots drive to investigate 'strange object'

My space program is approaching kerbal equivalent of the 1970s, so I've been messing around with my video editing software to achieve proper retro look. Here's the result (from Mun gravity assist to Minmus impact probe mission). Also with proper, funky 1970s tune :

[Flixxbeatz]

So much win inside What did you've used for the editing and stuff?

[thrashing mad]

So much win inside What did you've used for the editing and stuff?

Thanks. I've been using Cyberlink Powerdirector, and it involved hours of experimentation as there's no single 'retro look' effect or plugin.

[ecat]

Excellent!

Thank you.

Another program completed, and Kerbal media technology progressed to the equivalent of poor quality 70s TV

'Ulisses' Program:

1 - Minmus impact probe, via gravity assist from Mun

2 - Duna impact probe

3 - Moho impact probe, via gravity assist from Eve

[thrashing mad]

And yet another program completed:

'Prometheus' Program:

1 - Skylab style space station

2 - Munar Mobile Laboratory mission, ended with fatal accident at the 'Canion of Death'

3 - Rescue mission of MOLAB kerbonauts

4 - Manned mission to Minmus

[thrashing mad]

Almost out of kerbal "1970s", with robotic Triton Program completed:

1 - Eve satelite, and Gilly flyby

2 - Eve landing and Gilly landing

3 - Duna satelite, and Ike landing

4 - Equatorial Duna landing (success) and Polar landing (failure, probe destroyed by G-forces when parachutes deployed)

5 - Jool flyby, and Sun escape

.

These are great. I tried to achieve a similar 1960s newsreel effect with the intro on my series, however I think you got the effect and style down perfect.

Here's a sample of a the Sputnik newsreel I redid.

[Pipcard]

I love the retro aesthetic, as well as the diagrams that are shown for each mission.

[thrashing mad]

That's awesome. Voiceover and title screen are spot on.

[pxi]

These really are good, kudos!

Who's the music by?

[zekes]

I love the new technicolor one...

[thrashing mad]

These really are good, kudos!

Who's the music by?

Thanks. It varies - I'm mostly using royalty free music from Kevin McLeod (Incompetech.com).
