Star Wars

In 2003 me and my friends decided we wanted to make a film. At the time i was playing Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 on the PC. Because of that game we decided to do Star Wars. The first thing we did was

sort out the Jedi outfits. Their spot on, just like in the real films. We also sorted out our lightsabers (toy lightsabers from toys-r-us £9.99) and a program to do the lightsaber effects. I got myself a copy of Alam DV from FX Home on the web. A friend of mine who does web design for a living let us use his computer to do the editing and the 3d FX.

fighting Droids on S.T.A.P's (Hover Bikes). It was a lot of fun watching 2 of my mate's running around like a pair of prats with people giving them funny looks. Still my time was still to come.

Building the green screen was pretty fun. It was a bit tacky but worked ok in post production. Filmed a load of scene's in front of it, most of them have been cut from the final film. Never mind there going to make great out-takes.

I have been learning how to use 3D studio max for about a year now maybe longer so I’ve been working on the special effects for this film for age's. Every time i think a shot is finished i learn something new and have to use it and do the shot all

over again. But is time to shoot some more film. In fact the last time to shoot some film, or so we thought. It was the final fight. This is where i come in, I'm the Sith Lord. It was great fun. I was so hot wearing 3 layers of black on a very hot day. Running around fighting all day. But it was well worth it. But we still need to film some pick ups because we ran out of time. Still stay tuned for more updates.

28th October 2006, the three of us got together and went for a stroll around Portsmouth Commercial Road shops. We got quite a good reception from most, but there was some grief from kids who obviously do not appreciate the effort...

We then we to the local pub and had a drink to round the day off.
