in Show off

My family has been using Hitfilm for the last 4 years to create just 1 movie. Star Wars - Flight of the Renegade. It has been our number one tool. Thank you FXhome for a great product.

Our feature length movie premiers Saturday, August 21st at the State Theater in Auburn California and you are cordially invited.

Please enjoy and share our trailer and poster

    The love in every frame, the complexity and execution of the visuals, the sheer joy of a family project - I teared up watching the trailer, and I'm still crying as I type this.

    Truly incredible work. Congratulations.

    I hope the screening goes smoothly. There's nothing like seeing your work 50 feet wide.

    You really, REALLY need to send your trailer off to [email protected] so @philipwesson can pass this on to @KirstieT and @OliThompson, because I can think of no other project more deserving of being featured in the monthly FXhome newsletter.

    @IamJoshuaDavies famously started FXhome after writing code so his buddy could get on with finishing lightsabers for a Star Wars fan film, y'know, so, Josh... Look what you and your team helped make possible!

    @WedgeOz, you have some competition coming as "most ambitious Hitfilm filmmaker" I can think of.

    The amount of time and the incredible passion that's gone into this trailer and the poster is amazing! Oh my gosh, there were some fantastic scenes in there.

    Please, please tell us when we can watch this online, I would love to watch it. Congratulations so much on your screening - as @Triem23 said, I can't imagine how amazing it would be to see your film on screen.

    Well done, well done, well done @ScottyBros

    Thankyou @Triem23! Such wonderful praise on just the trailer. The movie is just over an hour long and we have saved the best looking stuff for that. Made in chronological order, the beginning is pretty crude and done with Hitfilm Express but by the end, we had upgraded to Pro and quite proud of our final shots. All but 2 of the shots contain compositing and multiple special effects. Many shots contain 20+ elements. We didn't go back and update any of the early movie as we wanted to see the progression of learning film making from scratch.

    The experience has been very fun and extremely rewarding. Especially during covid as the lockdown kept us all home (our studio) and the project brought us all closer together as a team in ways that I never thought possible.

    And a special thanks to 💚 @KirstieT for patiently answering all of our dumb questions years ago and a BIG THANKS to the FX team who consistently post excellent tutorials. We could have done it without you, but it would have looked like crap! If you guys would like to use any of it for promotional purposes, please feel free.

    You can check out a lot of our behind the scenes stuff here: https://www.instagram.com/toddmscott/ And I will post a link to the full movie the day after the premier. Wish you all could come!

    -Ian, Lucas, Cameron & dad

    I found your yotube channel a while back, watched the short film and was wondering if there would be a part 2. I really enjoyed it. Very cool that you will be premiering the full movie in a real theater!

    Really solid job, looks great. My only worry is that Disney will come after you for the music rights.

    I love the speeder bike shot, and the Kilo Wren (not sure how that is spelt) shots looks really dark and cool.

    Thanks Andy we actually got permission from Lucasfilm for the premier event. They were super cool and said not to worry about Disney as they don't ever go after kids who aren't making any money. They also said it got "rave reviews around the office" and they were going to send us "some goodies". I hope they like the full movie as much...

    Will have to sit down and watch this properly later but a quick skim and it looks so good. VFX, sound etc but the acting is superb.

    It takes about 10 mins for my 5 min videos to get uploaded in HD. Too lazy to do the maths but yours WILL take a while.

    Just got word from someone at Lucasfilm that this has circulated through the office and they LOVE it! "We would like to send you guys some gifts for such a great movie."

    SUCH satisfaction!
