Tokyo Star Wars Episode II: The Clone Dance
Any proper Star Wars geek (or Japanophile) knows Danny Choo, aka the Tokyo Stormtrooper. Choo famously shoots videos of himself in Stormtrooper attire dancing around Tokyo, including in geek-town Akihabara, on a Tokyo subway…you get the idea.
But now a few others have gotten into the act.
Watch the video before you read the rest! I don’t want to ruin the surprise. (It starts around 0:40 if you want to jump straight there.)
Yes, a young CG house called Moonlight Motion has taken some of Choo’s footage and plugged in a little surprise. Actually, two. Well, three, depending on your definition of “little.” It’s really pretty impressive and hey, viral videos are the way to go to start promoting your brand-new company. I’d hire ’em.
