The Empire Strikes Back: Opening Scene remake
(
Film (short)
by The Grove School
Producer / Director We re-shot the opening scenes to the Empire Strikes Back in which the rebel alliance is under attack in the snowy wastelands of Hoth.
Almost 2 minutes of action filmed in miniature stop-motion on 8mm and 16mm, with plastic soldiers and models of AT-ATs, re-purposed and re-painted to replicate the characters from the film. With special effects shot and composited using a mix of BBC computers, glass, paint, sand and bicarbonate of soda - Thank you John Dykstra for the hints and tips !!
All in a good cause as my main project for 'A' level Art, and various other smaller grades and certificates, not to mention my Duke of Edinburgh award that year. Thanks to the Grove School teachers, Alun Jones (Head of Art), and my many school friends that helped out, especially the school computer club.
