Finally, after six months of filming, editing, and hard visual effects work, I have finally finished Lego Star Wars: What If?.

Unlike my previous postings of Stop Motion Lego films, this one is new and not filmed in Digital Blue. It was filmed with a Panasonic DV camera by taking still pictures with the memory card then, in Post Production, edited to a certain framerate to move along properly.

This is also the first Lego Star Wars video to feature an original storyline, which was scripted before filming began. And most importantly, this is my first Lego and Youtube movie to feature a wide variety of visual effects, most notably, The Lightsabers. Unlike many other people who use such programs as Adobe After Effects, I achieved this effect with Microsoft Paint and Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Edition, because I could not afford to buy something like Adobe After Effects.
The talking Lego scenes and various other effects shots were achieved in almost the same way.

What If various events in Star Wars were altered? How would this effect the characters and galaxies they live in? In this storyline of a What If in the Star Wars Universe, portrayed by Lego Minifigures, you're about to find out.

Thank you for all the positive feedback. Only in my wildest dreams did I ever think this would prove to be such a success despite the months of work I put into this..
