Death Star Destroys Planet Earth (Adobe After Effects VFX) Star Wars Laser Explosion

I went to Star Wars: Rogue One a few months ago and absolutely loved it! I was completely blown away by the CGI in that movie, especially the scene where the Death Star destroys Jedha.

After a while I came up with the idea to try to "recreate" that scene, although this video is more inspired by Rogue One. I put some remade shots from A New Hope in there as well, from the destruction of Alderaan, which I fully recreated as accurately as possible.

I'm really happy with how it turned out, even though it doesn't even come close to Rogue One! I tried to go a little overboard with the lens flares to give it an ultimate sci-fi movie feel. The black bars help as well, even though those were necessary when recreating the scenes from A New Hope. I do regret not rendering it in the wide aspect ratio, which means you always get black bars, even on wider screens. I'll do this correctly in the future...
I learned a lot from making this, for example how to make a planet look real. Compare my video Laser Planet Earth Explosion (   • Laser Planet Earth Explosion (Adobe After ...  ) with planet earth here at 0:19 . It looks much better I think!

Every shot here was made by me, and I also rendered the earth. I used no third party plugins (except for Video Copilot's Saber, which is free).

I hope you enjoy this one, it was really fun to make!
