A Word from Maul316
Director of "EPISODE II FAN TRAILER"

I've always wanted to edit some professional footage, and rotoscope some actual sabers from a Star Wars film. With the recent 'Making Episode II' videos coming out, I had my chance.

A fellow board member at the Theater Forums posted some clips that he'd edited from the documentaries. I was pretty impressed, and wanted to create something of my own. After using certain methods for importing the footage into my programs, I was able to start editing.

It took me two full days to complete, which were filled with rotoscoping, compositing, camera matching, and other post-production effects. Overall, I think the finished product fits Episode II very well. It shows the light side of Anakin, and the dark. Special thanks to starwars.com for supplying the footage, and for George Lucas, who created it in the first place.
