again....? [narrowed eyes a bit in confusion] .... is it all of those this channel portrayed from the 2nd version's of last Year's? or just Some of the vessels/ships in here?- [EDIT]: ('yeah'. True. so Not Everything in here, huh. since this one ended with something from the halo universe's and galaxy's/franchise's this time instead, rather than the other one).
This is a slightly different kind of video recommendation: Human Population Growth of the continents from 100,000 years ago to today.
I'm from Russia, but this is very very cool!
can I wish something of legend of galactic heroes
Shame you didn't include Steven Spielberg or Jeff Wayne's "Wat Of The Worlds" martian tripods. Would be awesome seeing walking across the pond.
I heard New York traffic is crazy but this is just ridiculous. Great video.
This place must be the best spaceport in the galaxy
well, there are No literal UCN/ISA(/ICSA(?)) era (for example) cars/vehicles up there on that primitive new york city's skies yet anyways. so. [Boredly yawns while also joining in of that sarcasm in here for a bit]
Nueva York tiene muchos atascos... Que locura!!
As someone who lives there, can confirm new york has planet sized spaceships flying over it all the time
I like how the lady by the fence isn't even fazed by all this. Just another day in NYC.
Somewhere around the time the Yamato and Enterprise show up, you start to lose any real sense of the incoming ships' size because they're out of any proportion to the spectators. To fix this, I'd suggest adding a second tier of spectators to the action -- say, a couple of news copters buzzing inquisitively about, so we have something else to compare the ships' sizes to.
I had the same feeling, but I wasn't about to nit-pick. These models and animations are awesome.
I was thinking the same thing. Some of the ships clearly have decks visualised by layers of lights. But the people on the ground looked the same size as the lights. The latter ships were crazy though. I'd love to watch this in VR.
The larger ships pass behind the NY skyline to give you scale.
Spaceball One EARNS the bumper sticker, "We brake for nobody"
Once you get to Death Star, I doubt you'd notice the choppers. But not a bad idea.
Kudos to the pilots that kept it very professional. Great video.
And no shots fired or attempted assimilation by the Borg
Especially drunk-ass Rick in that implausibly clean saucer.
ATC would be going nuts; trying to keep everyone “in their lane” 😃 keep up the great work.
@@Aaron_Cross and thank the Emperor that Rogal Dorn didn't use a drop pod from the Phalanx and started to fortify the Planet.
Man you should make this first person view series watchable in VR, with 360 view and such. It would be AMAZING!
Agree... this in VR would be another level
I found subnautica!
I'd shit myself
@@brittanycunningham787 that depends
Agree like you can move around the video
At some point a brain just can't comprehend sizes anymore. This perspective really nails that home. Would love to see more like this.
Yeah. That's why I prefer the top down side view with all the models. Even at the 1.2km size I was "Ok, I don't really see the difference." The Halo ship looked way longer than the Macross one.
A high quality VR experience would be perfect. You will then perceive the objects in 1 to 1 scale and real 3D 😮
A perspective shift moment for me as the larger ships started to come in (ships about a mile long or bigger) was when I started to notice them being partially _behind_ the NYC skyline.
The Death Star was super.
Nor gravitational effects.
This may very well be the best video you've done of spacecraft so far!
It is!
Amazing
I missed not seeing the "Nostromo" from 'Alien', but you are forgiven by including the flying saucer from "Earth Vs the Flying Saucers"! Great compilation!!
Yeah, that was a good concept, nice way to shake up the old format. I'd love to see this as an Oculus app in VR.
Agree
Bravo! I especially loved the ISS just cruisin' on through. Thank you!
I don't consider myself more into sci-fi stuff than the average person, but I found this so incredibly cool and satisfying, Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
As someone who has a fear of seeing large things in first person, I had a shocked face when I saw the Death Star and bigger.
Death Star gave me the chills, too 😅
is that fear has the "phobia" name?
@@adrenalineTubemegalophobia
Don't look down or you'll see The Earth!
@@user-zp4ge3yp2o hm? *proceeds to look down* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
I would like to see it in VR, and for these ships to move much slower and fly overhead, to actually feel their size, mass and majesty.
As someone with Megalophobia, I would die
That'd be so cool!
@@Hunter57588 You wouldn't die (I hope), it could be a terrible experience, but probably also an amazing one at the same time :)
Exactly my thoughts, or one of those 180 degree 8k triple projector desk setups.
I was going to post the same comment about VR...flatscreen gives zero actual sense of scale compared to VR...
Taylor Swift going to buy groceries 😂
Everyone else: Just a chill fly-by. Han in the Falcon: 🚀🔃🚀🚀🚀
Some of the ships seem too small, but this was very well done.
If you click on the second video at the end of this one, it gives a much better size reference
Most are. I have the video paused on the Enterprise and the woman is taller than the thickness of the saucer section. Doesn't it have multiple floors with room for hundreds of people lol? She wouldn't even be able to fit inside it.
Artistic / pragmatic choice to have everything about the same size on-screen otherwise how to have a 7m and 10,000km ship fly by for approximately the same duration? 🤔
I saw the same thing and was like WTF! Lol!@@DrJuice1
@@nicknelson9450 Great explanation. I was really excited for this but was a little let down.
Air traffic controllers are shitting themselves rn
Great job on the transitions between each ship. I am glad the hotdog booth got through all these.
MetaBallStudios, this was cool! Man, if you upped the lighting, textures, and sound, this would be breathtaking on an IMAX screen!!! Well done guys!!
Props to the cameraman for catching the historic event of dozens of sci-fi ships appearing specifically over New York City all at once, as well as for not freaking out as half of them try to scoop up or flatten the entire city.
Best airshow (spaceshow?) event ever put on. Props to the organizers.
And as opposed to all the other ufo pic's they where in focus and hi res.
EVERYONE attends Comic Con.
Props to the pilots for not crashing into the parasols and ruining everyone’s day 👌🏼
Also for keeping the planet on orbit due to the larger (>10 km) spaceships' gravitational push.
That's some precision flying there. Not a single skyscraper got knocked down. Kudos to the pilots.
The ID4 City Destroyer was on its day off.
and the umbrellas stayed upright
I hope some Air Traffic Controller got a bonus.
The Death Star came pretty darn close but miraculously missed them all
My thoughts exactly!
Would've liked to have seen the Nostromo and Sulaco ships included, overall made me feel quite vulnerable if these ships went over any city!
That was something I HAD to see. Thank you 👍
Some of the (low end of) large ships seemed a bit small. For example, the Enterprise was close enough to ruffle the trees, but it didn't look like it could contain 1K of personnel.
SF has a baaaad habit of fumbling ship sizes. The Normandy is notoriously much bigger inside.
Wait....I don't think they had a thousand people on board...Kirk clearly, repeatedly, and over-dramatically states the crew as "400...men and women...on the ship...." 🤣
It was the NCC-1701-D Enterprise in ST:TNG that had over 1,000 passengers and crew. Not the Enterprise in the original ST.
The constitution class Enterprise of the original series was much smaller than the galaxy class of The Next Generation.
Best scale video from MBS yet, but think the vehicle speed and more relatively sized objects would help our comprehension. Enterprise can look colossal in movies. The Juggernaut was megalithic in Alien Covenant, but looked very light and agile here. For now I slowed my video down to help the illusion. Looking forward to more!
Love the 1st person perspective idea. I have thalassaphobia and Megalophobia, so these trigger some strange but profound combination of comfort and existential dread that is hard to describe. Would love to see more these.
WOW! Thanks a bunches for creating this awesome size comparison seen from a first-person's view! I was buggy my eyes out when you gotten to the really big super ships and structures, like the Death Star and the Halo ring. This really gives you a good understanding to just how massive these ships and structures are in their shows/movies. :)
Missing Ringworld (Larry Niven). Radius, 940 million km circumference by 1 million km wide. Surface area of Earth fits as an island in a wider sea that's a small fraction of the width of the ring. Spun for Gravity, walls on edge hold in atmosphere. Shadow squares at orbit of Mercury spin slower and give 24-hour day/night. Epic tale. Needs a movie!
Oh I love that you had the viewer follow the Star Destroyer when it showed up, so that we were quickly seeing it from the exact same angle we first saw it for the first time in Star Wars.
I noticed that too.
Excellent work. I loved the small details like the MBS umbrellas fluttering in the wind as the ships flew overhead, and master chief watching along the pier on a Halo ship. I'll have to rewatch to catch more.
This is amazing! The music is dramatic too.
Shoutout to whoever made that hotdog stand. That’s some quality craftsmanship to withstand gale force winds from all those thrusters.
Amazing! I love the first person view. Puts the ships in a whole new light!
same
I love how the music built up and started to have more of a majestic sound as the ships got bigger. Did a good job of matching what we were seeing.
Great fun to watch, well put together!
This channel has upped its game ever since DataBall has been releasing quality videos. I love channels like these, and competition brings out quality products.
As incredibly beautiful and cinematic as this is, it's still kinda hard to get a sense for these, since they are all flying by at different altitudes, distances, and speeds. That being said, the presentation here is amazing! Great video!
That's what the numerous other videos with a Top down view are for. This is more what they would look like if you were stood on the ground. It's a valuable alternate perspective you don't often see in these videos.
I agree.
@@VoidLantaddGood point but personally I didn’t get the same sense of perspective with them to each other and a fixed point on the earth. Fantastic piece of work nonetheless.
I agree, but the difference in scale from the start of the list to the end meant they had to do it this way. If the Executor or Death Star cruised by at the same speed and altitude as, say, The original Starship Enterprise, it'd take several minutes for them to pass overhead. For moon-sized vessels like the Phalanx or the Dreadnaught, we'd be here all day.
@@andyb1653 If the larger ships flew that low, they'd be part way in the ground/water.
The models, the render, the atmosphere, the SOUND, and of course, the majestic, powerful music. This is unparalleled.
i agree
Congratulations!!!!! Excelent video❤
Man the amount of detail you put into those ships is crazy, Great video 👍👍
how they didn't keep running into each other is amazing.
Lots of TCAS issues there! When flying I DO like a "reasonable" degree of separation, especially where the "big stuff" is concerned! 😀
Definitely drove Space Traffic Control crazy. 😋
It’s a big ocean after all. Wait…
Loving the sound design and framing of the ships in this video. Especially when the Millennium Falcon flew into the screen. And when the Imperial Star Destroyer flew over. Just like in the movies!
Man, what a spectacular video! I want more of this!!!
Well, that was more than awesome. Some of the smaller ship ratios seemed a little off but this might be the best thing I've ever watched on YT. Great production and content, thanks!!!
No hace falta decirlo estando 4 años en este canal. Simplemente épico. 😊
5:47 It’s the extra touch of recreating Star Wars’s opening shot that makes this part special.
Well done! Keep it up!
This was awesome. loved it
As amazing and awe inspiring as this vid is, some of the larger ships (Galactica, ISD...) really didn't convey a sense of true scale. They appeared smaller than their actual size....not sure why. Fantastic collection tho. TY !
They were moving so fast that their sheer bulk was lost.
@@BJGvideos No, I slowed it down to 0.25% and same sense. Galactica looks way too small. The scale of Galactica should have been MUCH larger, but it didn't translate.
The Borg cube is way too small as well
@@chalkandcheese1868 Oh yes ! Definitely!
Very impressive, and well done coordinating this without a single collision or crash
hehehe
These are so much fun! Thank you!
I had to actually remember to breathe during the last four minutes of the video. Shocking to see these comparisons. Such a brilliant video!
SO happy to see the Rocinante in this! We helped outfit that ship. (Via the set designers. 😂) You can see our equipment in almost every interior piloting scene. One of the coolest calls I ever took: “Hi, I’m building a spaceship … 😂.”
That's amazing!! I bet you have some cool pics!
This was incredible. I felt like I couldn't breathe for the second half of the video. You should DEFINITELY remake all your ship size comparison videos in this format. Absolutely fantastic!!!
yes
Wtf are you talking about with couldn't breathe
@@SubwaySam10 lmfao i was thinkin the same thing
dude has the most COOL channel in youtube! congratulations!
Suggestion for ships to add in a future update: - Vandred (Anime): Features a total of eight different ships, four basic ships and four that are the fusion of two basic ships. IIRC one combined ship is larger than the Solar System.
I re-reread my post and realized I made a mistake in the number of ships. There are three ships that are a fusion of two ships (one ship fuses with each of the other three).
1. This has to be the most visually awe-inspiring and unique size comparison videos on all of youtube. Simply amazing. 2. The latter portion of the video really emphasises why so many larger ships have to be constructed in space
Somehow for a number of ships the size doesn't quite come across. It's like a "grayzone" in the 500m to 5km or so Worked best when set over the city skyline, but not so much over water. Still, amazing work. If you wanted to be totally science-nerd, you could have shown tidal effects for the really big ones. Also, missing Ringworld. Or any of the huge Culture universe Mind ships, like a GSV. 😄
Definitely a dead zone. I kept thinking "for starships, those are relatively small".
not 1 ship landed once they spotted master chief on the pier...
Wow, that was really cool. Well done.
That City destroyer from Independence Day was absolutely terrifying! But the Death Star was beautiful!
God this deserves a part 2. This is absolutely magnificent, enough to make someone with megalophobia loose their marbles. XD
I have megalophobia but Im normally not bothered by CGI rendered things but tbh quite a few of these got me but I think it was bc they weren't just shown on a screen with nothing around them but had people and trees and the city in the background that put it into a perspective that is relatable
Definitely need a part two. I didn't see my serenity.
My friend looking over my shoulder going "damn, that's a big one" made me underastand this video.
@8:45 Death Star will give you an idea what solar eclipse would look like on April 8th if you place will see the full eclipse . Extraordinary video, thanks for this.
Nobody talkin bout Masterchief just enjoying an ocean view at the beginning
We don't talk about obvious.
Nobody talked about Batman either
I can’t imagine the hours invested in creating this. Nicely done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
He probably purchase all of those models for cheap, fans love building 3d models of their fave ships and upload them for free.
Wow that ist truely the next level of ship size-comparison! Really impressive, thanks a lot!
what a great video! An idea, if you are open to it. Have you ever considered making a video comparing all of the Eve Online Ships?
Your videos are usually amazing but this went above and beyond, I just have no words
This should be a 3D video! Would be even more immersive!
Yeah VR!😁
@@ma2i485 Smaller audience.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing your art.
Watching the little umbrellas and plants ripple Blows me away, the video quality has improved 1000 fold! Claustrophobic as hell to watch everything fly overhead lol.

Jupiter 2 from Lost in Space is lost.
Thanks
You a G for this
This is just friggin' awesome!
This video in VR and a part 2 would be amazing!
bro never disappoints with the quality🔥🔥
That's the opposite of what you meant
Should we tell him..?
My bad 😅
Very cool! But I'm kinda missing DOF and (nearby) haze so it's hard to see how big things are unless they get close to reference points.
The rippling of the umbrella fabric and shaking of the trees as the ships flew by was some very nice attention to detail!
Go bigger!! Awesome video.
This was excellent - the only sizes (at least I thought) that were bigger, were ET's ship and the mothership from Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Anyway, this was great to see size perspective from a person's point of view.
Slave 1 seemed a little too small to me actually. When I compare my x-wing minifigs it's significantly larger than the x-wing.
Yep, to me the E.T. spaceship strangely seems too small.
@@SGUnity That was the first one I picked up. It was nowhere near 23 metres tall unless that person standing at the dock is 5 - 10 metres tall. Then the next biggest discrepancy was the Borg Cube and Star Destroyer being basically the same size, despite the Cube being twice the size.
Many of these were sized improperly.
For your next installment of massive fictional robots, could you consider adding the Matoran Universe from Bionicle?
Also Combatler V, Voltes V and Daimos.

Best Air Show I ever saw. A few Thunder birds might be a nice touch. Beautiful!
Nice work! I was hoping to see flight of the navigator and event horizon, maybe next video ❤
Absolutely your best work to date. Super excited for what's next. Thanks for all you do!
I have a legitimate phobia of large low flying objects. Airplanes, blimps, hot air balloons, sometimes even smaller balloons. One time I ran and crawled under a van to take cover because a jumbo jet was flying directly overhead. I was shaking watching this video. Absolutely terrifying for me.
ive got a fear of large objects in the sky period. i get genuinely uncomfortable during full moons and shit. its so dumb but i cant help it
Amazing, speechless....well done 🙂
Thanks for the video
I love seeing the sheer size of these things from this perspective. I'd like to see a mecha/robot version like this!
Your best video by far, even the sounds of the ships is just perfect.
Great! Liked and subscribed
This is the best video you've ever done, but I would kill to watch it in VR.
7:43 very goosebumps🔥
Especially when it slowed down over the city.
This was really enjoyable to watch! Thank you for the hard work you put in these videos ✨
Amazing compilation!🎉
Awesome job with the animation
The music choice and timing was absolutely brilliant. Added a lot to the video.
This was awesome 🔥💯
daaamn this is awesome man
0:38 look! A halo soldier! Easter eggs are back!
Excellent as always, loved how you were able to show the cockpit interior of the Millennium Falcon and Master Chief standing at the railing was a nice touch.
This video was awesome!!! 🎉
the atmospheric effect is just outstanding
