Special Selection June 2009 This spherical moon size battle station produces the mother of all laser beams. The Death Star is capable of moving throughout the galaxy, destroying entire planets and spreading fear like a shadow of impending doom. 75 miles in diameter it has a surface like a metropolis full of detention blocks and interrogation cells. The death star is capable of housing a billion people and requires a million personnel to operate.

We don't think Keith Loutit invented the concept of tilt shift video, but he has taken it to an amazing level. Basic tilt-shift employs lens-blur, sharpening, and saturation to pull out the subject and give the impression that you are looking through a macro lens to view a model. Keith's choice of subject, camera placements, and his induction of subtle time lapse makes his creations come to life in unbelievable fashion.

The Death Star could have destroyed the planet of the Jar Jar Binkses, but didn't.

It should have...

I know! That's an epic fail!
reply
Totally, epic epic fail

I think the fact that a bunch of personafied catfish were able to take down that many droids and not get blown up only increases a giant laser's awesomeness.
reply
If it did, it would have been even more awesome.

yea lets all vote for queen of the mist now

It's something real painstakingly made to look like a fake of something real. That is awesome.

You people are voting for something that is used to efficiently kill billions of innocent people at a time. Sure, it is fictional, but you are still voting for a fictional floating planetwide holocaust device. Think about it.
reply
Sorry, much like Yorky, I have to vote against religious fanatic terrorists like Luke Skywalker, so the Death Star has my vote.
reply
Your logic has won me over. A vote for the Death Star is a vote for peace, justice, law, order, and the American way. A vote for Che Guevara is a vote for Luke Skywalker, Osama bin Laden, and the families of the victims of 9/11 who don't support the Iraq War.

This is suddenly the best political debate I have heard in 10 years

I've seen some awesome tilt shift photos on Flickr, but this video isn't doing much for me. Maybe the nominee should have been Tilt Shift Photography?
reply
Yeah, we thought about that. I think one thing we need to add is the ability for multiple videos, so the concept would not be limited to one implementation

I actually noticed that there are no legit Death Star pictures in this slideshow. It must be so awesome, everyone just know what that is.
