Darth Vadering - A new hype or not?

The "Hype" called Vadering

We follow internet hypes as much as possible. The term "Vadering" caught our eye. A term derived from the Star Wars films. Darth Vader used his force to choke enemies. The term Vadering showed up on twitter and blog sites more and more. There is a hype preceded named hadokening. It is a photo hype and there were no video versions of it yet. This is where we started our idea.

Brainstorming and Scheduling

We wanted to be the first with a Vadering-video in the internet so we gave ourselves a tight deadline. We did one day of brainstorming and one day of filming. To achieve this we had to keep the set dressing / props and techniques as simple as possible.

Shooting Day

We needed four people to be on the set. We found two guys who wanted to help us. The video was shot within 2 hours. The rest of the day we had to do the editing and visual effects.

Post Production - Greenscreen and the Force

The floating part of the actor we have done through greenscreen. We key the actor out and place him on a different background.

Close Up of the actor

In order to convince the viewers of the power of Darth Vader we must emphasize the Force. With only the sound it is not convincing enough. There had to be some energy effects created. We took some sci fi movies as reference.

So will Vadering be the new hype? Time will tell...

Update: It did not!
