STAR WARS Celebration Europe 2007: Film by Duane Kemp

[koga9376]

Haha that mon calimari didnt know it was a trap

[killzone474]

LMFAO its the guy from harry potter

[icouldmakeitdecember]

any reason the death star is upside down at the beginning?

[duanekemp]

Yeah, you have to remember that it's here in gravity that upside down exists. The death star doesn't show up to destroy a planet and worry if someone is looking up it's skirt. From the control deck, looking at a planet that people aren't falling off below their equator... they count down till the planet's population will be flying apart due to the certain destruction if their Obama doesn't surrender the planet. Does that explanation justify the artistic choice? 8-)

[icouldmakeitdecember]

@duanekemp fair enough :P

just looks a bit silly to me that's all lol

but that is a very valid explanation :)

[duanekemp]

@icouldmakeitdecember

the actual reason was because the angle of approach to the planet from it's northern hemisphere, the deathstar looked ridiculous and seemed "wrong" in some way.... now it just looks upside down. hmmmm.

[icouldmakeitdecember]

@duanekemp no matter what, it still kicks ass :)

[duanekemp]

thanks

[darthRaduLego]

[duanekemp]

@darthRaduLego

I haven't heard of there being another planned, sorry to say.

[CJGJ12]

[duanekemp]

I have not heard of a "Celebration" being planned. However, there are other events in Europe ACZCB19 mentiond (Jedi Com 2010)

[ACZEB19]

I'm proud that the jedi com 2010 is in düsseldorf....becuase I live there ;-)

[SupershadowDOtCom]

[Stormtrooper4648]

So can you please say me which date again this cool Sw Celebration is`?

I want to go there with my Bikerscout Costum from the Troopershop, hope i see you there. Realy nice vid.

PS: Sorry for my bad English.

[duanekemp]

I understand your english very well. Bravo.

I have searched, but cannot find new information on the next Celebration Europe. Perhaps someone here can help us.

Surely, someone from the 501st can tell us if there's another Celebration planned and where it would be. I'd love to see you at the next one.

[Stormtrooper4648]

Well than when i know the date i come and save you as an Bikerscout^^. Oh dear, one Question to you: Are you going also to the Jedi Convention 2010 at "Düsseldorf" in Germany? When yes may we can see us^^

[duanekemp]

Too late. It was last weekend (March 21 to 23) and I didn't know about it.

Plus, we are working on this project which will keep us in Switzerland this year.

[duanekemp]

I hope to see you there.

[runescapexx8]

Hey cool video I wasn't there (shame cause I'm a big darth vader fan.) but I'll come the next time in my supreme edition vader costume ;) Keep posting vids!

[duanekemp]

Could you tell others about this vid? Other C.E. vids came out sooner than mine (due to a serious editing issue with this and the Ray Park vid) so mine gets lost in the shuffle of popularity. Thanks for the word of mouth.

[duanekemp]

In this film you will find droids at 06:24 and 09:26.

[duanekemp]

The grunttedl kid... didn't watch the vid in the first place... or never found time to watch for droids. As with other like minded troopers, go about your business.... these aren't the droids you're looking for. :-)

[grunttedi]

i mean like u dont have any droids there

[grunttedi]

whats up wit that no droids

[duanekemp]

Not sure I understand the context of the question or remark. Feel free to clarify what no droids means.

In this film you will find droids at 06:24 and 09:26.

[ANDr3wTR33d]

yo Star Wars fans, Watch my new Video "Star Wars: Hi daddy"! It's a video worth watching, beleve me !!! :)

[duanekemp]

it's almost spam if you post a pub on my page without leaving a comment about the video here. Sad. But, because it's Star Wars related, ok.

I saw your vid. You had fun. That's the point.

[trooperman]

That was awesome!!All the memories came flooding back when i watched that!!I was the guy in the que that you say to on the vid'Thesae are starwars fans!They come a long way'I bumped in to you every day after that but you would not reconise me as i was dressed as a stormtrooper.I Also saw you take photos of me on the tantive set.Hope there will be a CEU-2!!Thanx for sharing the vid matey :)

[duanekemp]

I remember you clearly from the line and glad you remember. Wasn't that a blast? I hope we can do that again!! I hope you enjoy my other ones as well.

I am also glad you are keeping STAR WARS alive on your site. Bravo.

For better and clearer versions (even longer of this film) of these, go to Stage6 dot com duanekemp.

May the force be with you.

[chewbobba]

Hi duanekemp.I think the version you saw was the unfinished one. I realised that I had not credited the artists interviewed - so I've sent the corrected version to you. Thanks for your kind words of support- indeed, if there is another Celebration Europe I shall be there keeping an eye open for you!

[chewbobba]

Some of the most professional footage I've seen of the event so far. Excellent work Duane. Even included some footage I missed out on - and I had total access! How did you get that aeriel shot at the end? Once again, congratulations on the camerawork and editing!

[duanekemp]

After seeing your vid, I accept your compliments with pleasure. You show a great capacity to capture the reason we were there.

You almost show a facility of editing, Kudos for the audio and transitions. Like art, maturity will come with familiarity in your editing and will change the way you shoot.

However, thanks for demonstrating your love for Star Wars and the passion we invest to make it relive in our present.

Bravo baby. I hope to meet you at the next event. Good work.

[duanekemp]

The Airial shot was taken from the second floor corridor where the seminars were held. I am selling my collection and visited the card collectors seminar when I peeked through the window to see that view.

It was right above where you were camping for the weekend.

[salad1974]

awesome fanfilm - i have loved the celebration,3 great days in another world - STAR WARS IS FOREVER !

[zirro93]

nize lightsaber fight you did :D

[kingatecavies]

Great video, it was a fantastic celebration. I remember seeing you sitting behind me and my son Tom when watching the film outside on the grass!! Let's hope there is another one soon.

[duanekemp]

Yes, did your son let me look at his catalogue of toys?

[kingatecavies]

I asked Tom and he does not remember having a toy catalogue, so it was probably not him, but I do remember seeing you there, lets hope they do another one next year,

Sue

[SWCCPT]

Great memories from CE. Cool video, too.

[buddyluv68]

God help me... this was amusing. LOL

[V4DER]

nice Video, nice to see a true fan. keep up the great work.

[cindrollic]

Very Cool I Wish I Went But Im Only 15.........

Do They Have It Every Year Or Every 2 Years?

[duanekemp]

That's being decided.

[YodaUnleashed]

Why's the death star upside down, nah only kidding. I loved the effects at the start and it was a great vide, really good to relive the memories that are so well memorable, 5 stars and favourited.

[marleyrule]

amazing green-screening! loved it, it reminds me of the fun i had there!

[duanekemp]

Thank you. the only green screening I did was with the airplanes but, thank you very much.

[duanekemp]

OH, and yeah, the logos... thanks for reminding me.

[duanekemp]

Sorry, it's been a long month. Yes, the entire intro was green screening.. So, thank you very much.

[Joshua271987]

Great work duanekemp! I like what you did with my composited Super Starship Destroyer, which I green screened for you. Very creative. :)

The exhibit was really spectacular, and the video was well put together. Five star.
