Students Work on Visual Effects for Pink Five
“Pink Five” is a Star Wars fan film written and directed by Trey Stokes that made its debut on the net in 2002. It stars Amy Earhart as Stacey (aka Pink Five), a fast-talking Valley Girl-type who dropped into an X-Wing cockpit during the Battle of Yavin. The film presents familiar events and story points from Star Wars: Episode IV from a very different point-of-view. The original film won the 2003 George Lucas Selects Award and also screened at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.

Two sequels have been made so far, “Pink Five Strikes Back” and “Return of Pink Five.” Now DAVE School students have been recruited to do visual effects and compositing shots for “Return of Pink Five: Volume Three.”

The debut of “Return of Pink Five, Volume Three” will take place on May 27th at Celebration IV in Los Angeles. This will mark the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars as well.
