MGS graduating students made a real splash at their end of year farewell event. First up we put together a "Signing Off" video which all of Year 13 (about 150 students) participated in. Everyone took turns signing my lens and I had a team of 7-8 students managing the system, cleaning the glass panels and we managed to shoot the whole thing in about 30 minutes. It came together in a lovely way and is such a cool memory for this cohort to hold onto.
The real crowd pleaser though was a surprise lightsaber fight between students and staff. This was a very fun project to support, one that went off light a house on fire for the audience of 600. Lightsaber VFX is no small feat, especially when you have 5 of them in a shot. It took about 6-7 hours to do all the rotoscoping, but the results were totally worth it!
