Hi,
I want to show you what is left of an abandoned project. This is the beginning of a saga. of THE saga and you will see the famous opening scene of Star Wars in Lego 
Maybe this is the premiere of the Stardestroyer model used in film, I'm not sure but anyway, have fun!

You pulled it off perfectly. Well done. Well done indeed.
Fantastic, how to you keep the Star Destroyer from falling apart while it was upside down? Mine comes apart when I just look at it.
that was awesome!
That was very, very good. Much better than the one LEGO made back in 2001, I think it was. How do you key out all the blue if the bluescreen didn't go all the way? Did you manully edit each frame?
I just got to nitpick a tidbit where the Destroyer shifts slightly on a few frames and the obvious oscillation of the blockade runner, all of which could have be cleaned up in post-production.
Otherwise, great job.
I have to build myself rig like that.
Thanks for your feedback.
Indeed it was hell to put the ISD upside down. I didn't expect the construction to be so loose. Still it's a fantastic work of Lego.
There has already been a lot of tweaking in post-production. When you compare the passes of the making of with the completed scene there was a lot more shaking which almost vanished thanks to VirtualDub Deshaker. But only almost. The keying was not easy too since I didn't put too much effort in a good bluescreen, but the area around the models was ok and the rest is covered by moving masks.
We need more films like this.
I'm working on it 
really cool. But there's was one thing missing:
the george bush sticker on the back.

Very nice, thanks for sharing! Half the fun of this clip was the behind-the-scenes footage - it was very interesting and well done.
Good stuff.
I approve.

This is incredible; excellent work!
Brilliance in its most brilliant form!
