So here goes... Be sure to select 1080P Guys

I couldn't be bothered to film my own footage so I found some pretty good 720P footage online. Im sure the original owner will be pleased if I can get this back to him.

Let me know how you think these match up to the ILM blades... Also what do you think of the saber lock effects at the end?

Cheers, Kishan

Very good job.

I love the reflection in the glasses. It is the little things that make it sweet. So well done.

Looks good! How long did it take to rotoscope? I remember the first time I tried it. It took me close to two hours just for 5 seconds of HD footage. (And I only had one blade to draw in!!

)

A few hours only lol... What is the best program for getting the sounds in there?! I found that even more difficult than the actual rotoscoping.
Getting one saber behind the other and switching back again was tricky too... Anyone know a quick efficient way for this?!

Thanks for the feedback too
