Clear Skies is an EVE Online machinima fanfilm that uses footage from EVE itself for its exterior space scenes, much like Red vs. Blue is filmed entirely in Halo. As the game had no interior areas at the time of filming, interior shots are done using the Half-Life 2 engine. While Half-Life 2's character models are reused, all the 'sets' are newly designed to great effect, and windows looking out into space are accomplished by blue-screening EVE footage onto them.The plot follows John Rourke, Solomon Burke and Charlie Fodder. Together, they form the motley privateer crew of the titular Clear Skies, a Minmatar Tempest-class battleship out in the boonies of space. Currently, three "episodes" exist, but they take a bloody long time considering the amount of sheer effort the creator must endure to make one, so the series is filmed like an hour-long television show, complete with scene breaks where commercials would be.Clear Skies is notable for the quality it presents. The visuals are filmed with a professional level of direction, the music was well-selected and well-timed with the scenes, the voice-acting is top notch despite being entirely amateur, and the writing is far better than many actual television shows.Originally released for download via the website eve-files.com (no longer available), all three episodes have since been re-posted on YouTube: Clear Skies Clear Skies 2 Clear Skies 3 | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Plenty of EVE players might say this about the Avatar-class Titan◊, which goes well beyond just being vaguely phallic. Given their tendency to snark at things, it wouldn't have been out of place for the main characters to make a note of this, but, given the circumstances, it was understandably being treated as Serious Business. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Rourke comments that the Clear Skies and the assembled Caldari fleet may just have enough firepower to bring down Jared Mason's mothership when their plan to stop it from jumping in fails. The way this trope usually goes, there would be a spoiler-tag here covering "Rourke is wrong and they can't stop it," but we actually don't get to find out either way. Because it's a Titan. This example from the battle of Messoya in Episode 3: During Hausmann's monologue in Episode 3, Ghost responds to a quip of Charlie's with "You mess with me, you need a bigger gun than that, sunshine." Ship-to-ship weaponry should tick that box, and messing it does. | |

Villain Ball: In 3, Ghost could have just actually paid for the power supply while still impersonating Smith and neither Rourke nor Smith would have had any idea what was going on until it was much too late. Money certainly wasn't an issue. Instead, Ghost unintentionally made an incredibly dangerous enemy by blowing up the gang's ship. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Sleeper drones by no means "Pop easy enough". Next to hitting them with a massive Alpha damage weapon, the only way to kill them is to have a number of ships that can easily tank their fire, while focusing fire on one drone at a time. But the visual of a Fleet Issue Tempest cutting a swath through a horde of Sleepers is still awesome to see. | |

Sequel Escalation | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_391d6577 | comment |
Sequel Escalation: Clear Skies featured a battle involving three battleships (one a specialized Black Ops), one cruiser, and two frigates (one a specialized assault ship). Thanks to the popularity of Clear Skies, Clear Skies 2 was able to gather dozens of "stunt pilot" participants, and "film" a fleet battle on EVE's test server with a significant number of expensive faction ships, including pirate battleships that would cost over a billion ISK apiece on the EVE main server's markets. And a Titan that undoubtedly would have cost significantly more than both fleets at the gate battle put together. Following the success of the first two installments, CCP gave Chisholm access to their in-house cinematic engine, which allowed him to stage a capital-ship fleet battle with spectacular choreography that would be flat-out impossible to achieve within the game. (For example: if you're in a battleship being targeted by two blaster-armed dreadnoughts at close range, your options for survival do not include rolling your ship to one side to slip between their shots.) | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: First, the titular battleship is flown and operated by three people, a ship class that in lore would have even a skeleton crew complement of about 1,200 people; See Pragmatic Adaptation below. Second, different weapon systems are shown either greatly overpowered or greatly underpowered to their game counterparts, obviously to achieve dramatic effect. Sol treats the idea of a microwarpdrive on a battleship as flirting with insanitynote and his fears turn out to be justified; within the game of EVE Online, however, battleship pilots (and higher-end NPC battleships) will routinely fit microwarpdrives. It doesn't actually cost money to charge the ship's capacitor, so the idea of 'running a loss' shifting quafe around in system would seem rather queer to Eve players. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Various bits of Canon Defilement are done for the sake of making a better movie: In EVE Online, a ship is piloted by a capsuleer, someone who resides within a specially-designed life-support pod, wired in such a way that the pod (and through the pod, the ships they pilot) becomes the capsuleer's body. They don't die permanently, as they are cloned, and are transferred to the clone upon their death. As such, one person has absolute control of every aspect of the ship, they are not going to be able to wander the halls, and death's not much of a risk. This can make for a very boring story. Now, while canon does indicate that ships have normal crews, Rourke, Burke and Fodder are all actual players and, thus, capsuleers as far as canon is concerned. Since this leads to a less-exciting story overall, the series puts them in the role of crew members of an otherwise non-player battleship. Haffa's Widow, a Black Ops battleship, jumps into systems in Clear Skies without the aid of any the cynosural fields it would require in-game. It also wouldn't have a chance in hell of taking out a tackling frigate with its missiles alone, their signal radius is far too small for battleship-sized weapons to get a decent lock on them. That's the reason battleships pack drones. It's also not nearly as rare as its made out to be. The first thing the irregular coalition fleet does at the start of the battle in Clear Skies 2 is take out the Heavy Interdictor that dragged them out of warp 40km off the gate. With it down there's NOTHING stopping them from simply warping out again then warping back directly onto the gate and jumping through- except dramatic necessity.note Incidentally, if it had been a standard Interdictor rather than a Heavy this wouldn't have been an issue, as standard Interdictors don't generate a persistent field but instead launch Warp Disruption Probes that project the field even if the Interdictor is destroyed or moves off. A similar thing happens in Clear Skies 1 when the gate camp manages to prevent the crew from warping directly to the gate despite a lack of any form of interdiction whatsoever. Sleeper drones by no means "Pop easy enough". Next to hitting them with a massive Alpha damage weapon, the only way to kill them is to have a number of ships that can easily tank their fire, while focusing fire on one drone at a time. But the visual of a Fleet Issue Tempest cutting a swath through a horde of Sleepers is still awesome to see. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_7870735b | comment |
Rourke comments that the Clear Skies and the assembled Caldari fleet may just have enough firepower to bring down Jared Mason's mothership when their plan to stop it from jumping in fails. The way this trope usually goes, there would be a spoiler-tag here covering "Rourke is wrong and they can't stop it," but we actually don't get to find out either way. Because it's a Titan. | |

Haffa's Widow, a Black Ops battleship, jumps into systems in Clear Skies without the aid of any the cynosural fields it would require in-game. It also wouldn't have a chance in hell of taking out a tackling frigate with its missiles alone, their signal radius is far too small for battleship-sized weapons to get a decent lock on them. That's the reason battleships pack drones. It's also not nearly as rare as its made out to be. | |

Funny Background Event | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_8a550a67 | comment |
Funny Back Ground Event: In 2, several of the readouts have fairly amusing text. One of the various emergency colors aboard the Clear Skies is labeled "Imminent Judith Chalmers Encounter", while another reads "Time to start running". The readouts on the Titan are all fairly blunt, grim assesments: "Disaster", "Imminent doom", "Seriously leg it", "You are going to die", "Scary" and the like. 3 has a few, too: When Sol's boosting the drive output near the end, his screen shows a prompt warning him that rerouting the power will void the warranty, and the amount of power transferred is 1.21 gigawatts. And in Episode 1, when Haffa's raid on a mining op gets interrupted by JR's pre-recorded plea for help, his com screen lights up with "JR FFS".note "Oh, for f%#$'s sake..." Episode 2, as Rourke fires up the MWD and Clear Skies runs for the Teskanen gate, the damage readout behind Sol clearly shows the "top wingy bit" as the most damaged bit of the ship. Again in Episode 2: Mr. Smith pulls up a screen showing the faces and names of everyone in the station, who will die if Rourke and his crew don't help. Later in the scene, the screen can be seen in the background still going through people. Some of the names are fairly amusing, but none of them top "Lord Timelord". Episode Three; several pieces of furniture have IFEAR stickers on them, made up to look exactly the IKEA logo. | |

Didn't Think This Through: At the climax of 2 the Gallente commander defending the Teskanen gate from the rogue fleet clearly knows his mission- stop anyone getting through, especially Clear Skies. But when Haffa jumps in and takes out the tackler that's pinning down Clear Skies, he orders his fleet to "Destroy that widow!" even though Haffa isn't as important as stopping Clear Skies, keeping enough fire off Clear Skies to let them get through. Even worse, he doesn't even give the order until after Haffa has taken out the frigate tackling Clear Skies.. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Some small details in Clear Skies 2, like Sol's comment about the "big explodey thing" and Charlie's response. Jared Mason's plan is essentially to copycat a major atrocity that happened in EVE canon. "Another Blackbird. Are they free with cereal now or something?" (A Blackbird ship was used to jam our heroes in the first film) Mr. Smith's name: "Possibly I use it, because that is your name." In 2, Sascha is initially referred to by Rourke as "One unit of Damsel In Distress." A regularly occurring mission in EVE Online, called "Damsel In Distress," involves the player rescuing exactly that. Smith describes a task for Rourke and crew in 2 as being "courier service...only about ten jumps through Empire space..." at which point, the crew as one demand "DOUBLE FEE." Upgrades carried out to Clear Skies in 2 are jokingly referred to by Charlie as "top secret duct tape." It's a widely held opinion in the EVE community that Minmatar ships are held together by duct tape and rust. Clear Skies catalogue of dodgy wiring, broken docking computer and so on are another nod to this. "Is now a good time to mention the light above my console?" Clear Skies 1 was released shortly after an EVE expansion which saw a major graphics upgrade and new textures for most ship models. Rourke's line "They must've...cleaned the windows or something" refers to this. | |

Chekhov's Skill: Rourke is shown to have an Elite Certification as a High-Velocity Helmsman hanging on the wall of his station quarters.note At the time the story was created, these could also be awarded to EVE players who were patient and diligent enough to develop the proper skills; years later, the certificate system was removed from the game for being too confusing. Later, in the battle of Messoya, he manages to kill two dreadnoughts with one battleship through the application of his high-speed maneuvering skills.note This cannot be achieved by EVE players, barring the application of insane hacking skills, massive bribes to the game developers, or potent hallucinogens. | |

Cool Starship: Haffa's Widow and the Maelstrom. Not the Clear "looks like an explosion in a girder factory" Skies, though. Clear Skies is made of this trope. Especially after the Jovian upgrades. The second teaser indicates that Clear Skies 3 is going to add a whole lot more. That's a Jovian battleship! The Phantom Fleet of Episode Two has a lot of pirate faction ships (several Machariels and Nightmares, at least one Bhaalgorn) that are rarer and more expensive in EVE Online than their standard variants. On the villainous side, there's Ghost's high-tech Proteus Strategic Cruiser. | |

Casual Danger Dialogue: Cor in the first episode does this; he tells Rourke to stay safe as he disengages from the fight. The scene cuts to a non-verbal Lampshade Hanging of Rourke making a face while Explosive Instrumentation goes off behind him. "Might I suggest we retire to a safer part of the ship?" said Tarquin, calmly adjusting his tie as a bullet bounces off the wall. Episode Three | |

Know When to Fold 'Em | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_e16cd24e | comment |
Know When to Fold 'Em: When it becomes clear that he cannot win against the Caldari fleet, Hausman surrenders rather than get more of his people killed. Another one occurs in 2, when Commander Mallozzi realizes he won't be able to stop the Titan from hitting the station, and instead directs his fleet to cover the escape of the evacuees to prevent a(nother) massacre. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The visuals for 3 are a cut above the previous 2 parts, with the battle scenes being particularly jaw-dropping. A large part of this is due to improvements to EVE's graphics engine in the time between movies, but the character animation is also far smoother and more natural-looking- they're even able to convincingly portray a full-on brawl between 2 men. | |

Info Dump: A small one explaining why large capital ships use jump drives and cynosural fields instead of gates so the non-EVE players can understand why a cyno jammer would stop Jared Mason's plan dead in its tracks. | |

Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: Sascha was definitely not happy about getting shot at when the crew broke her out of the prison facility. Cue bickering. | |

Code Emergency | |
| Clear Skies (Web Animation) / int_fb25bc5f | comment |
Code Emergency: the second episode mentions that Clear Skies has fifteen emergency color codes. Four can be seen on screen (Red, Orange, Yellow, and Blue), and a fifth and sixth are mentioned (Magnolia and Fuschia). Charlie, naturally enough, is the man responsible. | |
