Concept Ships Pod Pilot #1: Russell Chong

I'd like to welcome Russell Chong as my first podcast interview on Concept Ships. Russell is a traditional concept illustrator over at Lucasfilm working on the Clone Wars animated series.

Russell talks to us about the inner workings of the Lucasfilm animation studio and the process of designing the Malevolence and the Y-Wing spaceships from concept to model. ENJOY!

















Russell's personal work.

EAGLE-300 concept plane by Robert Szikszo

Concept plane model and render by Robert Szikszo.



The EAGLE-300 is a Mach 2.5 concept supersonic airliner which can carry 300 people to roughly 6000 nm. Revolutionary in design and features compared to other airliners. Renders were made with an engineering CAD program. Hope you like them. I am still continuing the work on the interior and will probably make a movie presentation too at the end.
