Happy Theater Week on WAM! Here is a Star Wars-inspired short film by Justin Gawron ’21, which was inspired by a short video assignment that ended up turning into a slightly longer project.
“The original assignment was only supposed to be from 30 seconds to a minute, but I decided that I wanted to have some more fun with it than just that. My brother and I started recording at 8:30 and filmed for three hours, and then I edited for 3 more. I also tried to employ some editing techniques that I knew were used in the original Star Wars franchise, like jump cuts to open the lightsabers. After the night was over, I had whittled down our hours of footage to just three minutes, but, in my opinion, it was well worth it. I had a great time making it with Dylan, plus the special guest appearance from my dad, and I couldn’t have done it without either of them.”
