Final Conclusion

In Conclusion, the creation of the following 30 second animation was a great experience in which one does not hoold any regrets and knows that if he has to re-do he can use much more efficient ways to achieve some of the items that he desired (For example changing the colour of the cabin to a brighter blue in order for the viewer to see better the cockpit of the tie pilot).
But for now I can only hope you enjoy it!

Building the sequence

Building the sequence was possibly the best part as it once again allowed me to use the software that I used back when I was a media student. The software used was called Cyberlink PowerDirector 14 and is possibly one of the best types of software to use for creating videos. With it I managed to quickly build the sequence. Add the title as prommised and even add the sound effects that I found. They are off course not mine and I did check before I added them whether they could be used.

Above you would be able to see how the editor looks.

Animating and Rendering Scene 8, 9 and 10
A and R Scene 8/9/10

Again this scene was now added as an aftermath filler in order for the user to make sure that the Tie Figther`s faith is sealed. As it was only half a second, the set-up for it was very quick to make as it was recycled from Scene 6. The only difference this time was swapping the Falcon and Tie fighter place and then making the blaster effect green and slightly bigger.
From then onward the two ships were unconnected and then grouped as separate objects for Scene 9. Another path was drawn, which the Tie fighter followed gracefully. Further addition to the scene was the flame effect that was seen in scene 4 when the cruiser was set alight. The only difference was tweaking speed at which the fighter started falling so it could explode off screen without actualy needing to. This was done thanks to a close-up on the middle of the flight path and letting the audience only see the fighter beginning to fall.

The second reason to do it was in order to make the final scene as a more appropriate ending needed to be made due to the importance and "coolness" of the Falcon as a sign of rebelliousness. Thus a half-second scene was made where the Falcon was seen picking up speed before initiating a hyperspace maneuver. The greatest challenge in this section was adjusting the camera so the audience could feel like the Falcon is just a couple of meters above their head as it flies past. This was not helped by my inability to have a steady hand, however, after a while, the correct position was given and the speed of the Falcon adjusted from the speed graph.
And with these last word ends the A and R sequence of posts. Hope you did enjoy, two more should be up soon.

Animating and Rendering Scene 6 and 7
A and R Scene 6/7

And thus come scenes 6 and 7.
The interesting bit about scene 6 was having to insert a Tie fighter and then deleting almost all of it. As you can see, only the front frame of the fighter was kept and was attached to the camera. While some may question this idea, they must remember that horror films sometimes put a mask on top of the camera in order to give perspective of the killer. As an ex-media student, an example one could give is from the 1978 Halloween film, which put the audience in the eyes of the killer with a simple prop being used in the beginning of the film and being put on the camera.
The next scene showed the new flight path with which the Falcon saves its turkey. The reason for once again modifying the scene from the original storyboard was that making a charge fly out of the Falcon and then causing the Tie fighter to explode would take too much screening time, so it was much easier to make the Falcon do a Loop De Loop and outsmart the Fighter. Furthermore, this way, the story would be more true to the flying style of the captain of the Falcon a she would try and outsmart the enemy rather than just cheat.
And thus come the end of this segment.
