Richard Morgan

Director, Producer, Art Director, Visual Effects artist, Roto-artist, Digital Matte Painter, CGI

Well what can I say, I got chatting one day to my good friends Tim Braithwaite and his cousin Barnaby braithwaite. Tim was saying how he collected lightsaber replicas. Well I jumped up and said I had done a test shot of a saber fight some 3 years ago and then all of a sudden the three of us were plotting to make a short lightsaber sequence.

From there it just spiralled out of control until we are standing here, merely months away from having a set of trailers that look like they come from an epic film.

For me this whole experience has been AMAZING !!!! People have been very helpful, supportive and encouraging and through this we all have a portfolio piece that will stand out as an amazing fanfilm.

I even got to make TWO hitchcock-ian appearances in the films. See if you can spot me [its quite hard in one shot]... :)

I hope that the finished trailers will leave everyone with tone thought: 'I must see this whole film' - but sadly it will never be made...

Elton Mogg

Director of Photography, Editor

Although originally asked to be involved from an editing point of view I was happy to get involved on the production side too. I was asked to do all the lighting for the film.

I remember being the first person to arrive on the shoot that day and realising the location originally chosen for our chroma key studio was just a fraction too small, hurridly clearing out the main office reception and creating our make shift studio there. Lighting for chromakey and actors is hard at the best of times with the best of kit but with begged and borrowed stuff, it was a real challenge. Hopefully one I succeeded in achieving.

It was a long day but great fun, seeing my mates prancing about in Star Wars outfits was worth the early train alone! Now I await the editing side. Once all the effects are done, I can get my hands on cutting the promos together with Richard and really have some fun.

My one regret - I didn't get a chance to appear in the movie, my Jedi days will have to wait.

Shirin Haliwell

1st camera assistant

I got involved becuase I'd worked on a few corporate videos and thought it would be much more fun to work on a personal project with friends. I was the clapper board operator and helped with the shot logging and scheduling. I helped out with a few odd jobs like setting up at the start and clearing up at the end and basically had a really good fun day :o)

Barnaby Braithwaite

2nd camera assistant

My recollection of how I got involved with these crazy kids was that it was all down to my cousin, Tim, who'd been playing with Photoshop, adding in lightsabres to appropriate stills. Chuffed with the results, we then got chatting to Richard, who, showing off, told us that he had done a similar thing on film a while back.

'Wouldn't it be great to take our stills one step further for a laugh and make a 10 second film of us having a lightsabre fight?' said Tim. Hours, days, months, years later, that simple germ of an idea has turned into something far more impressive. It may just be a trailer, but, to me, it's an epic..

Fleur Easom
Puppet maker

Fleur Easom is an Actress, a Life Coach and an Artist currently based in Birmingham. She works to commission only between her Acting and Coaching commitments and welcomes any challenge at very competitive rates. The YODA puppet was Fleur's introduction to the world of Latex mouldings.

After a closed head injury Fleur suddenly discovered she could sculpt - she is untrained and was told that the head impact had lead to her accessing a part of her brain previously unused! Quite remarkably she began sculpting everything from Sci-Fi characters as video or drinking cabinets to memorials of pets and is due to present her animal work at Crufts next year.

When her sister Jami Easom introduced her to Richard of Morgan Films who required a working latex Yoda puppet she leapt at the chance. With the the mentoring of Art Jedi "Grant" at RockArt of Southend on Sea she learnt how to translate her sculptures into negative casts and return them in positive Mouldings. "It was a wonderful learning experience and has opened a new realm of Artistic and creative possiblities - although it was a tough decision to sacrifice the original sculpture to the process!" Yoda is handcrafted from start to finish.

Fleur's art work is open to viewing by contacting fleur@resultsweb.co.uk
