Death Star over San Francisco

Back


Imperial Fleet Week.


For those interested in how I made it:
I shot the background video on a 1/3-chip DV camera (TRV25). The Star Wars vehicles are either 2D stills found on the internet, or video I roto-scoped out of the movies, which I then motion-tracked and composited in After FX. I used the trapcode particular plug-in for some steam and smoke effects, and did basic sound design and assembly in Final Cut.

Thanks for watching!

ges45acp, the fact that you think the creator of this video was trying to trick people into thinking this was real is what makes your comments stupid. This was trick photography with the intent to amuse. Seriously, dude.
