“But I thought 95ers was a time travel movie? A quantum-delving, soul-impacting, spine-tingling, popcorn-munching paranormal time travel movie?”

It is indeed all those things, folks, and much more. Time travelers do go to 31st century from time to time. (Well, technically, in 95ers:ECHOES we only go to the 27th century, but who’s counting.)

Very few people, even in the Chronos Protectorate, know much about the “spaceship” component in 95ers. And at long last, even as I go into meetings with distributors (in fact I have one tomorrow), the final visual effects shots are being completed. And one of them includes SPACESHIPS!

The grand story arc of 95ers includes pitched battles in space as well as aerial dogfights much more akin to Star Wars than Top Gun.

Over the years various awesome artists have been creating ship concepts for the 95ers Universe. And in a matter of days, you’ll see one of them come to life in the updated movie trailer.

Here are some early concepts. Most of this work was developed for what is planned to be the third movie in the 95ers franchise.

Here’s a cool full color piece of concept art by the amazing Clark Schaffer.

And here’s one of my favorite early concept pieces, by Justin Kunz. You can see teeny tiny ships in the distance.

This mega-cool poster concept for a future 95ers project also shows a glimpse of ships (including an old Spanish galleon…).

Finally, here are some LOW REZ UNTEXTURED AND UNLIT looks at the ships you’ll soon be seeing in 95ers:ECHOES—our current project, soon to be snapped up by a distributor. This 3d model—and I stress that is it only a previz—is compliments of Adam Kuczek. (Adam is new to the team and I’ll be giving him a full introduction in my NEXT blog post…)
