"Best lightsaber duel ever"
« on: July 11, 2007, 08:16:11 AM »
I just came across this on you tube today.  It is not the best I have seen and the fx are not quite as good as our own master Kit but they are pretty good for amateurs and from 2002.  Def worth the watch for me.

Ah, "Art of The Saber"!

Truly a classic saber duel! I only wish the Ho brothers would do more! Their fight choreography is very good. It would be nice to see a remaster of this with smoother framerate, and roto.

It would be great if GL would allow more movies to be made. It's my opinion that he should scout talent like this for his TV series. ;)

That was choreographed very well.

The rotoscoping is the only problem there

Thanks Stormtrooper TK-421  for the comment on my fx(rotoscoping)
I sure wish I could re rotoscop this (and change the music hehe)

Yes Art of the saber is the BEST choreographed fan film duel ever.
I wish someone would finally upload a high quality version to youtube..

The reason why the rotoscoping was not so good was they used FXlab to rotoscope not Adobe After effects..
But what do you expect effects lab is a $100 program and After effects is about $700

Yes kit you do a great job at the rotoscoping.  Just out of curiosity how long would it take you to do a 5 minute project like this one?

The Lyrics are actually in Lakota I think, and the Voiceover is an excerpt from the diary of a US cavalryman from before the battle of Bull Run.

That quote that they use is alos found in Gods and Generals. The duel itself is my 2nd favorite behind RVD2.
