Tatooine: Jeremy Messersmith’S Music Video Retells Original Trilogy in 2 Amazing Papercrafted Minutes
October 8th, 2010
This amazing papercraft reconstruction of Star Wars was made for Jeremy Messersmith‘s song called Tatooine. It was directed and animated by Eric Power. It’s definitely a good way to end the week!
It’s actually a music video for Jeremy’s song, which is also pretty good. The 2-minute video retells the original Star Wars trilogy thanks to papercraft technology, not just Star Wars IV: A New Hope, but Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi as well.
The papercraft animation was painstakingly made by hand, and shot frame-by-frame. It’s a beautifully told short animation that Star Wars fans everywhere will love. Personal faves include the wampa, AT-AT and AT-ST, as well as seeing Yoda go flying on Dagoba.

This article says the animation didn’t involve any paper and that it was digitally created. Not true. It was shot traditionally using paper, the blisters on my cutting fingers are the proof! :D
Doh! Not sure where we got that idea from. Sorry for the misinformation!
Corrected.
Seriously? Jeez, OK, I’ll change that, but I’m really surprised. That’s what I thought initially, but then I was like, no one would use real paper for something like this. I guess I was proved wrong!
its just ok… but have you seen this animated music video , I think its pretty cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOl280q4z9k
Uh, not sure what that has to do with Star Wars.
I think what the other person is saying,and it is how I read it, is that the animation in the star wars video, is just ok and the animated music video in the link they provided has better quality animation. I don’t think they were zoning in on just “star wars”
