Pocket Wars - Pocket Strikes First | Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Parody
231All Credit to Johan Bodin.
What we inteded initially two years ago, was to make a short piece flirting with the iconic snow battle scenes from The Empire Strikes Back. The name of our band was Pocket Metropolis so naturally we were looking for concepts where we could make ourselves tiny in comparison to something else. It was to be a fun little project with a quick execution and it ended up taking two years to finish with over 100 vfx-shots and when we started we hade a little to no knowledge within this field what so ever . It's been a true learning-by-doing-experience. The pilot scenes are shot with a cheap Canon 500D (in 30 fps!) and the very last scene was shot with the Canon 1D C, I think that alone says alot :).
