Star Wars Action Figures: The Battle at Hoth

I did this movie for a class project to learn how to work with Final Cut Pro. I used a combination of FCP and Photoshop to make it. Clearly, I'm not an expert so please don't bash. Oh and if you do know a thing or two about this stuff...tricks of the trade and all that... feel free to send me a message. I'll leave criticisim up on the comment board ONLY if it is truly constructive.

needs some works but is cool

@MasterGus501 Yeah, I always wanted to go back and clean this thing up now that I can navigate Final Cut and Photoshop a lot better than I used to. Unfortunately, I'm graduating this year and I won't have access to final cut anymore. One day, maybe, I'll get it.

This is very good. Can I ask you what kind of equipment you used to make this?

[greenll3unny]

@xraycat30 Honestly, I can't remember. It was a digital SLR camera the school had us borrow.

This gives me an idea.....If I could figure out the process I could use bluescreen to duplicate an make somthing neat

[greenll3unny]

Blue screen is your friend if you can figure out how to do it better than I did. I had to delete the background from each picture in photoshop one at a time... but I also didn't have a different color background when the pictures were taken...otherwise I would have been able to use selective color to delete the backgrounds from the pictures fast. Lesson learned I guess!

i love it! dont be so humble!! it was amzazing!

[stephen22564]

i think you did a superb job considering a first effort

i particularly liked your x- wing take off

the laser blasts were good too

ok animation a bit jerky but still a noble effort

i think you got skills and should pursue it

best of luck

Omfg do the space battle of endor

[ewokhunter47]

that was so sweet!!!! you have great talent and some awesome figures!!!!!!!

Pretty good for the first time doing this kind of thing. Another software that would help is After Effects. You can download a 30 day free trial from the Adobe website. With it you can make electrical effects like when the AT-AT fell over and it short-circuited or use it to make lasers and Force lightning.
