Hey everyone. I'm planning on doing a Star Wars fan film to celebrate the completion of the saga. If you know how to do ANY of the effects (Ships flying, lightsabers, lasers, etc.) Would you be kind enough to share your knowledge? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. BTW I only have adobe premiere.

For spaceships, make a spaceship model and film it infront of a bluescreen. Key in space pictures in the background OR Make 3d models of spaceships. For lightsabers and lasers, Check out alamdv if you cant afford the more expensive programs. www.fxhome.com

flash mx, can do lightsabers just paste the lightsaber image over the wooden sword and add your sound. Lasers, just add an image or animation in.
