How I Made a Star Wars Flyby in Blender

This YouTube video, created for Star Wars Day (May 4th), showcases a VFX shot of an X-wing and TIE fighter flyby that I animated. Filmed in my backyard, the shot blends practical footage with digital elements. I share my process, including camera tracking, texturing, and animating the 3D ship models in Blender, compositing in Adobe After Effects, and final editing—color grading and sound design—in Adobe Premiere Pro. The 10-minute video provides an overview of the shot’s creation, demonstrating techniques for crafting cinematic, Star Wars-inspired visuals.
