Hey folks.  A good friend of mine, who happens to be a very talented filmmaker and musician, made this fan vid for today - Star Wars Day.  I built and operated the droid puppet hologram.

May the Fourth be With You... Annually.

Really cool fan film!  The little droid is pretty cute.

Pretty cool.

Very nice, how did you get him to glow like that?

Thanks folks.  I didn't do the editing, I just built and performed the puppet.  But the guy who made it had this to say in the hologram editing:

"I created two layers of C.A.R.L. The top layer was tinted blue, the opacity lowered, a venetian blind effect added, and an outer glow added. The next layer was a blurred glowing version. One frame at a time, I automated the opacity alternating between 40%, 16%, 40%,16% to get that "flicker" effect. All of these tips I found on YouTube and took elements of various instructions to get the look I was aiming for."

So there ya go!

Thanks, that is cool, it was the editing that created it.
