Death Star Construction Timelapse

This video is a personal project (fan film) created by myself and my FX-guru brother Isaac Botkin. He planned and crafted all the visuals in Lightwave 3D, and I composed the original score in Cubase Pro. The goal was to come up with an original melody, but keep it very much within the style and flavor of John William's iconic Star Wars scores.

This piece was created 100% with Virtual Instruments on a computer.
