In preparation for the next chapter in the Star Wars saga, we’re thinking about ways to combine the power of Adobe Creative Cloud with some Jedi mojo to awaken your creative force.

The visual effects behind the first Star Wars films were a galaxy far, far away from the digital tools available on any laptop or phone today. But the effects wizards at Lucasfilm have been using green/blue screen effects from the beginning.

You probably know we’ve been checking out portable green screens for some time (LS Unboxed video https://vimeo.com/60284641 ), but this spring trained students and faculty will now have access to the full green-screen studio upstairs in the Learning Studio. Take some time over the break to learn how easy it is to use the built-in green screen tools available in Premiere Pro CC by following the link below.

STAR WARS – Practice Test

In preparation for the next chapter in the Star Wars saga, we’re thinking about ways to combine the power of Adobe Creative Cloud with some Jedi mojo to awaken your creative force.
On Dead Day our #EpisodeXmas event will bring lightsabers into the library for the first time. The lightsaber is the perfect tool for an aspiring Adobe Master, “not as clumsy as a blaster… an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.”

So if you plan on dropping by the Learning Studio to film an epic lightsaber showdown with your roommate, don’t stop there. This Lynda tutorial will teach you how to make your lightsaber glow in After Effects–an essential ingredient for turning a $5 kid’s toy into a magical futuristic weapon.
