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!

  • That's no moon, it's a new Starbucks!

  • Awesome work on this. Honestly, a number of the 'scenes' were really convincing, and the sound effects were very well put in. The Imperial Fighter flying by at full speed over the water was awesome :D
