LCCV Entry 3

[Herobrandon]

how did you make the rods grow out of the hilt like that .

[ASSHOLELA]

wheres the rotorscoping?

[destaniofhearts]

Good stuff. I was all: "WHOA!" at the beginning. Awesome. Very well done. I've seen a lot of vids where the lightsabers are reversed for like five seconds but the fact that he kept it that way most of the film was stunning. Thanks for posting. The only thing I would like to see is the energy beams, but that's not exactly what this is about. Great vid. Keep up the good work (to however made it.)

[darkgod1000]

were u get the sabers?

[dclsithlord]

was the rods coming out real or fake i cant tell

[PraetorDrew]

The rods are a visual effect.

[CptReed]

did u win?

[CptReed]

how u get away with puting it on the web and not getting disquilified

[PraetorDrew]

When you put it on the web about a year after the contest ends.

[BradLAproductions]

hey,

where can you buy the lightsabers like those.

ones that are retractable.

[Sideron22]

Awsome! absolutly amazing! exept that the lightsabers didnt glow it was spectacular!

[njburdette]

Drew. I have watched it like 10 times today. excited for the next round. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about the awesomeness of it all.

[David82comic]

hey how do you get the sabers to pop out like that?

[PraetorDrew]

Photographed the blades separately and added them in After Effects.

[dimlight49]

what did you use for the blades, where do you get them, and how much do they cost?

[gtgoskate]

The blade itself is a long painted stick stuck into the hilt that is done over in after effects being either just a wood stick or somthing stronger like chlorafome, guessing on how hard they were hitting eachother im gana go with chlorafome.

As the hit itself its either just a decorated PCP pipe or plumming pipe(honestly not that hard to make)

[raphaelbouhnik]

It's nice,

What sabers do you use?

[fdesa12]

at 1:30 to 1:40, looks like each of you was waiting for each other to attack, like it was expected. It would look better if it was more smooth.

Ex. The guy on the ground sweeping the saber and aiming for the legs, he already had the saber up to block the vertical slash, which came a bit late.

It's good and all, but if the rythm of the choreography was more smooth, it would look loads better.

[cato0y0]

that was good. i liked the camera movement. is there a way to see the finished video?

[PraetorDrew]

It's still a few months away. I'll post it on my channel when it's done.

[beavis5550]

thats awsome, where can i see the final project?

[cowboysfan28]

what are those props u use they're cool, when can u get them?

[PraetorDrew]

They are carbon fiber rods that you can get from RandomSabers

[DMANFASHO89]
