You are of course entitled to say what you want..
Just know that I have my reasons for making it, and that's it.. I know that many people have made it, but.. I really don't care..
+this project has been a first priority for me since I got my camera..
 
Nice job, it looked convincing. I see that you've only found time at this stage to rotoscope one sabre only or has this been done on purpose?
 
Hehe, thank you:)
Well I have an explanation for that you see..

I had gotten 2 hours of sleep that night.. and then when I got home from work I just "had to join" them on their practice to film some.. To try different angles etc.
Then when I got home, it was getting late.. but I started to rotoscope one of the lightsabers... It got late.. so that night I only got 3 - 4 hours sleep before work.. sooo.. when I got home again I finished the one lightsaber I started of with, exported etc.. and then it was getting late, and I said to myself: "Tomas! I have to sleep!"
And here I am now.. with 15 and a half hours sleep behind me (took a day off from work):grin: and ready to finish the other lightsaber:P
 
The rotoscoping job is real nice. If ever you wanna go all out I'd say get another person onset to hand operate a green and red light, maybe a small but bright chinaball or something (who knows), just to light you guys appropriately from the glow of the sabers.

It was done best in Empire Strikes Back when Luke confronts Vadar in Bespin after Han was frozen in the Carbonite. It's something Lucas DIDN'T do a lot of in the new flicks that really bugged me, it just made it look fake. If you have a light source, it should light things, lol.
