Star Wars Kid. How was it done?

Hi all.
I'm sure many of you have already seen this web site on the star
wars kid http://www.jedimaster.net/index.htm. If you haven't... it's about a
kid messing around with a golf stick retriever acting out a scene from star
wars. People have added their own versions and added him to film trailers
(poor kid). I was so impressed by the talent of the rendering done,I'd like
to have a go myself(not with this kid though). So what is needed to start
this type of rendering. Never tried it before but I can see how it can
become addictive to play about with film trailers ect.
Thank in advance.

Some of those( I have about 30 different ones of the Kid) where done by
professionals.Adobe aftereffects is a good program...

 

Most of that type of editing is done with professional equipment with a
price tag most people can't afford.
When you go to the video section, you get the impression others have made
various versions of it, when in fact, it's a trick to get you to see other
websites.

Quite frankly, I don't think 15 million have downloaded it. Like most video
stuff, over bloated ratings.

The kid does nothing more than a poor imitation of a fight scene slinging
the stick around and practically falls on his face doing it.

If it wasn't for the showing on "letterman", the kid would be just another
kid.

So what?

 

It was downloaded allot before the Letterman show...

No - the "So what" can't follow from what you just said.

It can follow from the "Ooh! Wow!" that many people emit
when they see it.
