a word from the director

[Scott Layman] A Word from Scott Layman
Director of "ATTACK DROIDS"

This was one of many tests I did for a Star Wars movie I was planning to make called Star Wars: Jedi Knights. This movie was going to be about an hour long with many special effects. This was, of course, the attack droid test. I did all of my pre-production for the movie but stopped production of it because I couldn't find time to make it.

PRE-PRODUCTION: The Jedi robe was made by my mother for the movie. She also made other costumes. The lightsaber was custom made by combining a lightsaber toy and a wooden dowl. There were no storyboards. The whole sequence was in my head.

PRODUCTION: I filmed it on a tripod, filming myself. The camera I used was a Digital Sony VX-1000. There was no one else there just me and my camera. It reminded me of my movies I made when I was 12.

POST-PRODUCTION: I used a Apple Macintosh for all the graphics and rendering. It took me about a week to build the attack droid I called the TS-21. It also took me a week to animate and render the droid. The style I used for the look of the droid was very Darth Vaderish because the time period the movie would take place was about the time Vader got his mask. I did most of the special effects, including the lightsabers, in a CGI program called Infini-D. It's a great program but I'm sorry to say that it was discontinued. It was edited on Adobe Premeire 5.0. Photoshop was only used for the texture maps on the attack droid.
