The Pre-Production Phase

            The pre-production phase of this film took some time to develop. The main reason for that being we wrote the script of the next ten installments in the film before continuing with this project. Not only that, there were also the first two installments that needed to be completed first, before the third one. Pre-production lasted from November 2008 - November 2010.

            The script for this film was very simple, having a continued plot from the previous two films. My brother (second co-owner) & I wanted to have a continuing saga following up the first two films, & have the Arc Troopers in peril for most of the episode. The reason for this is, we wanted to show the protagonist's maturity in combat with little or no ability to any such great technology. Finally, after a long time figuring out the structure of the film, the script was written. My brother completed the script while I completed the script for the next episode (read the first paragraph to read why). Once the script was written, it was time for the voice casting & acting.

            The audio in this film was reprized by mainly amateur actors. My brother, my friend Matt (third co-owner), & myself took the main leads. The rest of the voicing was done by a mixture of people, including a few YouTube collaborators (Ty360co, gerarddude5100 & Nanda Lego Motion Studios). Once all the voicing was in, it was then edited to their appropriate sound for the film. This was accomplished through the free sound editing software called Audacity. After all voice acting was finished, the sound effects were then needed. There was a large selection of sounds we needed (being that it is a STAR WARS film), assorting from lasers to R2-D2 type of sounds. FreeSounds.com was a large contributer to most of the effects, as well as human vocals for a "beeping" sort of sound.

            Once all aspects of audio were completed, they were further edited into one project through Windows Movie Maker. Once we finished, we were ready to start set building & animation!
