Here are some short films I shot, animated and edited together using Adobe Premiere, and Final Cut Pro. They range from work-related videos to fun portfolio pieces. They also contain my experiments in digitally composting actors into different films.
Star Wars in Slow Mo: The Phantom Menace Duel.
Say what you will about Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, but the lightsaber duel at the end of the film is top-notch. The energy, speed, and choreography composed by fight coordinator Nick Gillard have made this fight the gold standard for lightsaber duels going forward. This builds on George Lucas’s brilliant idea for the lightsaber itself, allowing the audience to clearly see each strike and block through the glowing blades. The speed of the fight is so intense that it’s sometimes hard to appreciate the moves.
To better appreciate each move, I used Apple’s machine learning and the “Smooth Slow-Mo” feature in Final Cut Pro 10.8 to slow down the fight. I also think I’ll make a meme out of Obi-Wan’s super slow-motion “No!” scream.
No doubt some people might be offended by the upscaling, frame rate increase, and motion-smoothed slow-mo I added to this. Good news: Relax! This is just an art project, and the unaltered versions of the film are still available on Blu-ray, Disney+, and, of course, in your own memory! Enjoy!

works for me lol
Leave it up to the fans, not the studios. The studios care about demographics, while the fans care about mass appeal. Or, just end the franchise.
"Aft thrusters. One quarter impulse power". Wow! I had no idea it was so complicated piloting a starship out of space dock.
The barrier looks like a black hole.
THRUSTERS ONLY IN SPACE DOCK!

We don't talk about the odd numbered Star Trek movies.
I think I actually get what he wanted to go for here. He starts out pretty confident and then get scared and then goes absolutely crazy Then the song concludes with like a resignation that is going to be a long long time
This is for all the Common People!
2:29 The Jem Hadar were all on the bridge saying ALLAH AKBAR multiple times
Its been very long since I last saw the movie. I already thought it to be a great work of remastering but I did not realise that you even created the entire spacedock setting. Thats impressive work 👏
AI will never be able to do the shat because he doesn't even know what he's going to next!
I love the way you warmed up the lighting on the exterior when the shuttle doc's .. very subtle but so necessary.
Epic performance!
The model you used as the Enterprise A is incredible! It looks more like the real thing than any other animation I've seen so far!
William Shatner could turn a 1 minute song into 5 minutes
Pretty cool. Except when the enterprise ducked under tbe station. That part looks great but never even made sence in the movie.
Glorious 🖖
Its.thrusters only in spacedock. Lol
Why is Kirk so concerned about Savik sitting in the center seat? We all know Sulu is really driving!
This was a good attempt, but it really needs higher graphics for something so special.
Fixed? What was wrong with it?
3:38 that guy is like “ oh geez, there goes the Enterprise, flying out like a bat out hell per usual.”
please dont encode this at 60 fps. It's shot at 24 fps - your 60 fps is fking up the motion blur. Stop it.
Black hole ?
It appeared we are too heavy. Must be all that marsh melons. 😅😅😅
Disturbing yet strangely compelling
I like this a lot, leaving Spacedock instead of the drydock does feel more right and impressive. I think you did a great job on working the material together. Changing it further so Saavik orders thrusters instead of impulse, and maybe having the pod launch from inside Space Dock for visual inspection would be great, but that's kind of minor and seems outside the scope of this project.
That plaque, that music is one of the best, most inspired moments in that film.
the best deign choice ever: give the ship a long thin neck between its command and engineering section easily damaged and preventing crew and materiel movement up and down in combat, then put a barely protected launcher full of explosives in..THEN put an AIR LOCK on that launcher so some strafing run can bypass what little armour was in place.
Going through a super massive time dilating black hole, get to the other end and this is the greeting: "This is Battlestar Galactica of the Kobal Defence Force to Unidentified Vessel, identify yourself immediately or we will take action" Kirk: "Spock, how much time just got dilated?" Spock: "According to readings....approximately 10,000 years..sir" Mccoy: "If somebody says all this has happened before I'm gonna throw something"
Never understood why Kirk was so nervous about Savvik taking the chair when Sulu was the one doing the actual piloting.
I assumed that Sulu had transferred piloting controls to the captain's chair, and that the steering at impulse was all her
Came from stewie family guy...
🖖😎👍Very totally cool and very nicely spectaculary wonderfully well done indeed Sir!.
The refit and 'A' are the best looking Enterprise, no other ship comes close.
I really could go for a cigarette right now.
Divine intervention 🙏 (2:18 - 'Haha. I knew it')
So bad it's good, Captain.
You haven't fixed it mate. Far from it.
kirk doing another burnout in spacedock. dang
i love the part where sulu and the computer are running down the checklist . makes it look human. dont you scratch my ship.
Watch this in its entirety. Then, go watch the clip of Chris Elliott, from the old Late Night with David Letterman Show, do his spot-on imitation of this. 🤣
Very nice but it seems the video is sped up slightly. It was hard to watch the Odyssey get destroyed like this... Do you by chance have a torrent link for your upscale? Also are you going to do Voyager too? I wish Paramount would remaster DS9 and Voyager. There's obviously enough demand for it... I think it would sell better than the TNG remastered set.
IT's not sped up it's it was filmed at 24 fps. The motion blur captured on film is for that speed. Upscaling it to 60fps makes everything seem to move twice as fast as it actually is, and fks with the visual perception. Please note the TNG blu rays are at 24 fps, not 60 or 48, because it looks terrible.
My biggest gripe with Star Trek's ships is the inside never matches the exterior in terms of size equivalence. When the ship is seen from the outside, particularly the ports and windows, the relative sizes of the windows and the ship as a whole should make the windows much smaller. In other words, the windows should be pins of lights on the ship's hull. For this movie, when Kirk and the crew were outside the Enterprise, they should be like ants on a truck. The FX people do it right with this relative scale for Star Wars.
I think his acting version was pretty damn good, actually. SEEING him do it adds a lot.
Too pure for human ears
This first reached my ears in the 90s as an mp3 file that was shared at music college. I find it funnier without the video for some reason.
“We’ve got sisko” “Wow, ummm….Mr O’Brain, we’re about to lose a Galaxy Class Starship and 1000 lives but atleast we got Sisko!”
Nice effects, however this is self indulgent and takes the viewer out of the story. It's a great tech demo, but a horrible idea to add to the movie. The space dock scenes are meant to inspire wonder. the dutch angles imply something is off/wrong, and the moving camera removes the theatrics of it, which require static shots
