Hey guys, wanted to share my first sketch video, a Star Wars parody called "Attack On Vader"

It's less than a minute long, so hopefully it is quick and painless.

Attack On Vader (http://www.thinkhero.com/?p=459)

I shot on a JVC HD110U.

The opening sequence was shot on a portable green screen in my place lit with a Arri 1K softbox and a 650W with diffusion.

Did motion graphics in After Effects, and edited in Premiere Pro, with additional graphics help in Photoshop.

The second scene is purposely shot with echoey audio and super warm colors.

Let me know what you think.

nICE.. I really like the way the host looked... it looked kind off desaturated and smooth.. is that 30p?

Thanks Gibran, it was shot on 24P. Yeah, the host I wanted to make his skin look pale and very dark jedi like.

Also I used OnLocation to digitally record the footage (no tape).

Can't do that for guerilla style stuff, so have to debate on whether to get the firestore harddrive, or wait until JVC comes out with a new camera using the SXS cards.

Hahaha! I love the parody! I love the real thrower more though, I think what he did represented most of the world's feelings!

Its nice you represented him as Vader, coz thats what I really think who he is.
