Creating The Movie

Premier Pro

Now to the editing of the animation. I’m using Premiere Pro for this part.

First of all, I import all of the scenes I have shot and rendered in 3Ds Max.

 

For the first scene I want to make the Falcon stationary for a few moments. I have done this by cutting the first frame from Scene 1, before editing the Speed/Duration. As this is one frame I have had to put it down to as little as 0.01%. This makes it last at least a few seconds which I needed.

 

 

 

For the Space slug scene and Mouth scenes in particular, I used more than one camera angle to shoot the scene. I have then cut these and taken only the parts I wanted, using the cut tool. Afterwards I edited these together to merge into one. I feel this adds more interest to the overall production.

 

For this final scene I have decided to use the same shot of the Space Slug coming out to then go back in! I shot the scene again in 3Ds Max without the Millennium Falcon this time, so it just showed the Slug coming out.

 

I then import this to Premiere Pro and edit the speed of this scene to make it go backwards so the slug crawls back into its hole. I simply clicked reverse Speed on the Speed/Duration option.

 

I render it out and the film is almost complete.

 

 

Next I find sounds to put into my animation. I downloaded these from free sounds websites such as Freesound.com.

 

I add this to the audio timeline and my animation is complete.
