Star Wars: Premonition | Award Winning Lightsaber Duel | SaberComp 2022Max Jordan2022-12-01 | After seeing a glimpse into the future, a young mother must stand against the dark forces of fate.
My entry into SaberComp 2022. Fun fact, this is the 20th anniversary of the contest, and my 7th entry into that contest.
It was a blast making this, and the location is one of my all time favorite places to shoot. Everywhere I turned the camera it looked amazing.
Also, it was so fun to have my daughter Emily in this. She had so much fun being on a Star Wars set for a couple days.

Shot on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k, with a Zucato Recoil rig. Lens was a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 with a Viltrox speedbooster.
I had to cut a lot of footage out to fit within the time limit, so be ready for an extended directors cut coming in the next couple months.

It was the first short film I did that wasn't a vfx test. We had to shoot this many times to get it right. It was hard because just my brother and I were there, if both of us were in the shot the camera had to be on a tripod.
