Very cool! I found the "dirty lens" thing a bit distracting, but the animation was very well done!

Yeah it was a lot of fun to animate on that little bit.

wow, i love the style. what was your process? i like the layered-glass look you gave to the original filmed pieces, and how the sand looks massive so the droids look tiny! (You wouldn't be a relation of lou romano by any chance?)

We used a bunch of programs but the main 3d program was maya.  I wish we could redo the originals, it was a lot of fun just working on this, but the limited staff it would take a decade to redo all of the trilogy :p

I'm not, not sure about anyone else working on it. Lots of compositing, but majority of the work was done in maya. I too love how tiny they look, it was a style that I was drawn too from the beginning of the project.

Very nice! Love the look and feel, but, like doubleofive, I found the "dirty lens" thing to be distracting.

Love it!

I kind of liked the "dirty lens". Maybe a little less obvious would be good though.

Yeah, it was a stylistic choice by the director. Overall I ended up enjoying the effect it added

Amazing work!  You guys should hook up with the team that did the Adventures of Han Solo short and do your own "classic trilogy" web series!
