Space Film: Episode I - Retaliation of the Dark Side is a sci-fi stop motion animation that shows the struggle between good and evil using action figures from my favorite movie franchise Star Wars. This short film is a love letter to the series that filled my imagination growing up while also being a showcase of both my 3D motion and editing skills. Due to some very unfortunate circumstances, almost all of my first semesters progress on a digital animation I was working on for my senior project titled Taz and the Three Gems was lost and unable to be recovered. However, I decided to completely redraft my project and make something in the little time I had that I can truly say I am passionate about. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it come to life.
