Lightsaber Fight

Lightsaber Fight


When nerds and technology meet! This is actually extremely well done. There is a huge community of star wars nerds out there doing their thing, reshooting star wars and getting a kick out of it, but it's rarely done to this level. Enjoy!

That's amazing, really well done. After Effects is a killer program. I'm assuming that's how they did most of the effects, but you never know.

Yes, it's very well done. If these guys have aspirations towards attending film school or making a career of what they are doing, they have a great calling card in this clip.

The kid who made this is named Ryan Wieber...ryanwieber.com or something. Anyway, he ended up getting to work for LucasArts - cool story.

Cool. He deserves a serious break for this. The amount of work involved in this boggles the mind - the choreography and camera work are really quite complicated. Glad to hear there's a happy ending!
