Raw Footage from "Bane of the Sith" Trailer

This is the raw footage shot from my "Bane of the Sith" trailer, edited together with the same timing and sequence as the final trailer, but with no post-production effects. Things aren't always what they seem! Shots composed of several layers of video are included in split-screen, and shots missing entirely from this video were entirely computer generated. I recommend watching the finished video before watching this, but I thought this might be of interest for some people! Enjoy.

Did u use the blue lego pieces for the bluescreen?

[SmeagolStudios]

@BrickFilmsCinema There is no bluescreen in the video.  The greenscreen is posterboard, though.

what program do you use to edit raw footage?

[SmeagolStudios]

@legostarwars71 in this case an old program called Axogon Composer

[legostarwars71]

@SmeagolStudios If you would be kind enough to send me the link to where to get this program, that would be great, thank you.

[SmeagolStudios]

@legostarwars71 I don't know of a site, it is basically abandonware but there are probably places to get it. It's not really a program I would recommend, you'd probably be better off buying decent editing software or even using a free option like Lightworks.

How do you make CGI legos?

[SmeagolStudios]

I lined it up on a grid and manually shifted around the image frame by frame to smooth it out - the bumpiness was mostly just a little bit of shaking side to side.

You should do this with all of your vids.
