The Troll Hunter Strikes Back

Seeing Andre Ovredal's Troll Hunter I felt it had an original idea, but that was pretty much it. This clip on the other hand is just brilliant. One of the movies visual effects artists, Rune Spaans, got the idea of combining The Troll Hunter and Star Wars. The end result can be seen here in The Troll Hunter Strikes Back.

"One of the creatures in The Troll Hunter is missing an arm. When I first saw that, I knew I had to make this Empire tribute! What I've done is to take the scene from Empire Strikes Back, erase the existing characters, and then animate and re-composite the characters from Troll Hunter into the Empire footage. It's a pretty complex animation job, which took me around three weeks to do." Spaans said.



That guy is so my new hero.
