The passion in the original Star Wars trilogy inspires in its fans is unparalleled.

Becoming a pop culture of its own.

George often said he wanted to stop creating block busters and create indie films for fun on

Docudraft

George Lucas Documentary Draft.

Start

Voice Over ... talking about the schools and ideas that George Lucas got in his younger years and where he grew inspirations

Clips and Panning of Art Works Talking about techniques and Things he did different to create unique films that grasped everyone watching

Middle
Id talk about his style and how its evolved and adapted over the years

Ending
Close with a summary of his basic principles. His own thoughts on his work. How his films and how he is reflected and aged over the years.


Basically this is a really rough draft how i want the concept to go. I want to make it like a story George Lucas would have made, but nothing to complex as that differs from the idea of a documentary based on his art style his life and his legacy.

Work Update 3-20-16

Since the last time we started i had started on the UFO that i was creating for Kyle. As Kyle no longer needed it i decided to work on it still for those 2 weeks or so after i needed up losing everything when i lost my USB and found it wiped in the IMC.

Starting from a frame that was only 1 dimensional. I had no scales or anything it was all hand traced.


Ending up with this 3-d model in 2 weeks with the occasional down time of talk or down time of lesson plans or other odds and ends being shown to us. This will be done by spring break with the extra free time I have.

George Lucas

George Lucas

George lucas is well known for his contributions and creativity behind Star Wars. Even through the trouble of over budgeting and the opinion of the network already considering Star Wars as a loss. George still directed a movie that become the highest grossing film of all time. Following classic plot points of the hero saving the princess, but telling it in a way untold since the birth of film. George Lucas certainly started what is known to be as scifi genre. He borrowed many of his shots of the film and grew inspiration from early ww2 documentaries and movies at the time. Also being friend with steven speilburg since his USC college days he often asked for opinions on his films. Steven told him Star Wars was perfect and George Lucas had self doubt. Something he couldnt get ride of untill the late 90's when he started making films again. George lucas enjoyed the concept of none narrative films. I enjoy George's earlier works as a director,writer and a producer. 

Star Wars Episode 4.. Only Star Wars film he directed that was apart of the original trilogy.
