NORWICH, UK, December 15th, 2016 – To celebrate the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the power of their free video editing & VFX software HitFilm 4 Express, FXHOME (hitfilm.com) have today launched their Star Wars-style fan film, Rebellion, complete with free video tutorials and project files to enable filmmakers to make their own Star Wars inspired content at home. From learning how to clone Stormtroopers to designing blaster effects – HitFilm’s latest project gives filmmakers worldwide the ability to create Hollywood-level visual effects using powerful software, completely free.
“Our company was built on lightsaber-style effects and our love of the Star Wars universe,” says Josh Davies, Founder and CEO of FXHOME. “We don’t want emerging filmmakers and creators to be prevented from making awesome content because they can’t afford expensive ‘professional’ software.
