Making a fan movie with blockbuster VFX
“THESE TALENTED ARTISTS HAVE DONE IT PURELY FOR THE LOVE OF STAR WARS AND THE CHALLENGE OF CREATING AMBITIOUS SEQUENCES”
Phil Hawkins, director, Star Wars: Origins
Fan film Star Wars: Origins is the culmination of three years’ work by director Phil Hawkins, executive producer Gary Cowan, Velvet Film and VFX facility Flipbook Studio. Filmed in the Sahara Desert, Morocco and featuring over 100 VFX shots in 4K resolution, is far from a typical fan endeavour. The film gives viewers a unique interpretation of where the saga began, borrowing some of its inspiration from and telling an action-adventure story based on earth during World War II.
