I Animated this Snowspeeder in the Snow

Remember when you were a kid and you first watched Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back. The following winter I'm sure most of you played with your Star Wars or other figures in the snow like you were battling it out Empire or Rebel on the planet Hoth. If you had snow where you lived I suppose.

A little Snowspeeder/Hovercraft animation I made on the spur of the moment. In Victoria, BC where I live it typically only snows once per year and then melts away usually within a week. On one of the last days of the almost melted snow, I on the spur of the moment decided to shoot a short test animation with one of my sci-fi hovercrafts model I made. However I had only 40 minutes left before sunset and didn’t finish it till about 30 minutes after sunset. Although some of the footage was quite dark I fixed everything in post-production with exposure to a satisfactory result. I with I was able to pick up a few more additional shots but all the snow melted away the following day. I decided to loop the sequence 3 times to extend the loop a bit.

Thanks for watching my short test animation and hope you enjoy, Duane :D
