Did I say Troops was the first and best Star Wars Fan Film?  How could I forget this Erne Fosselius shot on film parody from the late 70s?

RETURN OF THE JEDI Endor forest speeder bike chase scene  shooting location.

I am a little confused, I thought I read somewhere that the Endor scenes were shot in a part of the forest that was “due to be clear cut anyway”.  And yet there it all still is.

I am assuming that trail was blazed by Star Wars fans wanting a picture by the locations, but actually that trail is there in the 1983 film. You’ve got to look real quick but its there.

If they made this film today there would be using newer, more advanced “steadi cams”  or drones or…. ( yukk!) CGI.  One idea I always had was the lay many MILES of dolly track with a real practical speeder bike on it and just film it.

Photoshop 2.5 Effect

This is an example of the “Photoshop 2.5 Effect,” where you take a still jpeg, duplicate it into layers, use the lasso, magic wand and pen tools to cut out each individual person, move them apart in after effects as if they were on a Disney Multiplane camera.

 

 

Logo Removal, After Effects

A client wanted the red tape on the football players shirt removed. The tape was covering up a copyrighted logo. I exported the files into an Adobe Photoshop Stack, then used the clone tool to cover up the red tape.

 

Then I imported them into Adobe After Effects, and sequenced them back into order.

Shining Big Screen

I just saw the Shining on the big screen. I’ve seen it hundreds of times on VHS but its a completely different experience on the Big Screen. ( Alamo Drafthouse San Antonio). With a clean color corrected print, full screen and full sound.

QUESTION” do you think the film is saying that Jack Torrance is possessed by one of the ghosts of the Overlook ( the ghost of the caretaker) or that he is the reincarnation of the care taker? Was his face always in that B&W photo or did he join them at the end of the movie?
