I was asked to help out with some production design for a video with The Stunt People. This is the follow up to their viral “Vader Strikes” First-person goPro lightsaber duel video. This also gave me the chance to work with my friend Alain Bloch of the Golden Gate Knights, the san Francisco based lightsabre choreography group I’ve been a part of over the last year.
As usual I’ve documented the full process; Full gallery
After scouting the locations I constructed a bunch of props that would fit into the scenes and sell the illusion that we weren’t on earth anymore. I created five light pillars, a collapsible door, various wall panels, a working monitor panel, warning lights, and a working Airlock door.
The light pillars were multi function light sources, pulse/flash/flicker.
The Airlock door was able to open and close via a system of pulleys which I designed with help from Props2c
This was a great project and lot of fun to pull together in a couple weeks.
