I participated in Art Hack Day over the weekend and decided to make a ton of Star Wars Uncut GIFs. Juxtaposing the new scenes vs the old really highlights the creativity that went into each scene.
Feels good to play around with Processing again.
This article in NYmag about Star Wars Uncut is a great read. Also, the comparison between Casey and Warhol’s work is uncanny because Casey just got a new haircut (shown here).
A very precise explanation of Star Wars Uncut. Well done.
Wow. We've received almost 500K views in just 24 hours!
Star Wars Uncut has always been incomplete without this. I’m very excited and proud to release the entire film. Watch it over the weekend for guaranteed LOLs and nostalgia.
Star Wars Uncut: Director’s Cut
Finally, the crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online for your streaming pleasure. The Director’s Cut is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection.
Many thanks to Aaron Valdez (video editor) and Bryan Pugh (sound design/mixing) for the countless hours they put into this masterpiece.
The Story:
In 2009, thousands of Internet users were asked to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable.
SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media.
We can’t thank everyone enough for making this such a special project.
We’re pretty excited about this one, folks.
We’re excited to launch UrbanDictionary.tv, a collaboration between VHX and Urban Dictionary (a top 100 website and everyone’s favorite Jeopardy category).

I can’t wait for Facebook to open up and allow more services to push to the stream. I also can’t wait for people to see how much crap I watch.
(I was bored)
Hey Tumblr users! Do you run a video-only blog? We just made a theme that will play all your videos back-to-back with VHX style.
