practice w/motion control -- please forgive me

btw-- by motion control, I don't mean FCP "motion."

I'm referring to the technique used in the original Star Wars where computerized camera paths and scale models gave life to space flight and battle scenes. The camera moves slowly along a controlled, repeatable path, while the object is stationary or follows a separate path.

Just wanted to clarify, like it matters anyway! Ha!
 
it's not even a real trailer-- just a joke.

we were just screwing around with a motion control set-up with green screen; the Hugo doll and the duck were stationary, while the camera (macro lens) moved steadily on a track by motor. we just finished watching Lucas's 4 hour special on the how they did the Star Wars series.

that's all--

just killing time. the rest was basic FCP compositing with images off the internet.
 
it's in the box set-Episodes 4-6 (A New Hope to Return of the Jedi); a separate DVD discussing all the challenges he encountered--

It made me feel sick, like I should've become a filmmaker years ago. The DVD is very interesting.
