Star Wars Scene 222

As part of the “Star Wars Uncut“ project, we re-created 15 seconds of Episode IV: A New Hope. The whole movie was split into 15-second chunks and is being re-created by fans all around the world.

I like to try to re-learn something about filmmaking with each new video, and this clip was the first time in years I got to make use of a boom mic, thanks to my friend Alex (who also played Admiral Motti and was primarily responsible for editing). This is also the first time we planned ahead and used “room tone” to even out the audio (I dare say we did a better job than George in that respect, at least in this scene).

Princess Leia was played awesomely by Whitney Barham. Darth Vader With a Cyberman Head was played by Matt Midboe, with his excellent creepy hand-drag.

Julie Hwang wrangled the whole thing together as the Director and Director of Photography, and I couldn’t be happier with how it came out.
