With a passion for Star Wars toys & photography, I combined the two and experimented with various techniques, mostly utilizing digital screens as a backdrop, combined with long exposure & light painting methods to shape the ambient light to suit the scenes. Compositing was mostly done using the Procreate app on the iPad Pro.
