Star Wars Episode 1.5: The Republic Strikes Back, Part 4/4

[mabusdasouljah]

i didnt know trackpants and filas were favored among jedi lol

[EZL80]

What did you use for the lightsaber and lightning effect's. they were pretty impressive.

[ArtisticArts]

@EZL80 thanks! we used Photoshop 5.5 for the lightsabers and Ulead Videostudio 9 for the lightning.

We now use Blender, After Effects CS3 and Photoshop CS3 - if you want, have a look at our later star wars spoof (Star Wars Episode 2.5), it's a lot better!

[D4K44R1]

[StarfireEKS]

[93MyMusic]

So thats wear the siths r

[legojoe12345]

great job

[PEREA4U]

that ending sucked

[ArtisticArts]

thanks

[99asd15]

funny ending with lego great job!

[boogeyman712]

It was pretty good, I can never see a sith dying that easily though. The only thing that should really be improved besides that is technique, With the lightsaber, of course. Good job none the less.

[Coffieman12345]

Great Video my new favourite!!!!

[ArtisticArts]

thanks, glad you liked it (I actually don't :P). We are in the process of making another at the moment. The trailer will be up in a couple of weeks.

[Coffieman12345]

awesome man!!!! :)

[ArtisticArts]

[obiwancooleins]

großartig mein Freund und ich wollen so etwas auch machen welches Pogramm hast du dafür verwendet

[jedi151]

awesome video are those effects

[OfficalBettyBoop]

aWESOME GREAT JOB !

[EnemyAce88]

Good work :)

[ApocTiger]

phail you and your friends can suck my dick <===3

[funnyjunk223]

Lol when you kill the zantious dude he would totattly expect it

[GINHAWK66]

good job yeeeeeeeeah

[aquaboy26]

Commemorative effort- but goddamn...

[WarHurts24]

sorry, slice/kick.

[WarHurts24]

good, except for when the jedi kicked him at the end why didnt he see it he just walked in front of him...

[NatsukaT]

nice special effects

[chrishwilhelm]

Nice done... XD

[staben222]

this was pretty well put together! I want to know how everyone gets the saber light effects. Nice job

[ArtisticArts]

thanks, Lightsabers were done in Photoshop 5.5, but we now have Photoshop CS3

[Kieranfoy]

I like the Sith's costume, but the stance was too hesitant. He didn;t carry himself with the conficence one expects of a Darksider.

[ArtisticArts]

thanks, I'll work on the stance for the next movie :P

[Gizer321]

omg xD

[eclipCrap]

bongo fett? xD

[7Jeseed7Eseed7]

Get a life

[JoomJoomJoom]

Klasse Sache. Bin beeindruckt ;-) Ich freu mich schon auf "Fanboys" ;-)

[DavidTheDumb]

Hey! Not a bad fight sceen! Really good job! Nice job on the FX

You could have done better on the sound though. =D

[ArtisticArts]

thanks, yep the sound was awful. Not to mention the quality here on yt...original quality was far better.

Next one will be in HD, with better sound mixing.

[DavidTheDumb]

Nij! I was gunna do that..

[maku175]

what was it like down there?

[granty699]

the dark jedi reminds me of revan from kotor

[iammaflyboi]

I really enjoyed this man good job

[maker2000]

very good job i actually like it.

[Goldsbro]

This is Awesome. Whe are you making 2.5

[ArtisticArts]

thanks! We're making 2.5 right now, trailer will be up in a few weeks!

[gwordin]

lol u should wield the lightsabers like that dude from star force unleashed but good job

[Izzebaya]

Hey Everyone should come and check out When the Jedi Came to Earth, coming soon. Spread the word.

[arsenalfan718]

dude the graphics are good but the acting is bad...they should have done some more impressive moves or some thing

[ArtisticArts]

haha, thanks and we totally agree

[exleader75]

nice, you're doing Episode 2.5 some point later right? But that means you're acting it during the Clone Wars, so got to have more clones. You should also mention about Anakin having a padawan named Aksoka during the show becuase Anakin did have padawan in the clone wars, right.

[PrinceXTC86]

this is awesome! :D

[darkmastery666]

as right as you are bout the killing thing, learn to spell bull shit right. And you do not know everything bout star wars. There are people who know much more than you, not me of course but there are others. so stop being an ass who thinks he's better than everyone else because your not.

[mikaman247]

fell in ditch lol

[VampireLord66]

Darth Zantius is all Powerful!

[nerosamuraijack]

Jedi shouldn't kill defenceless enemy:/

[ArtisticArts]

Darth Zantious had a lightsaber. He wasn't defenceless.

And: Obi-Wan killed Darth Maul in almost exactly the same way. Not to mention Obi-Wan killing General Grevious...Grevious had no weapon and Obi-Wan shot him.

:P

[phenomdude1]

ahh yes but grevois wasnt a jedi and when obi killed him and darth maul had a lightsaber when obi wan killed him

[ArtisticArts]

but nerosamuraiijack said that Jedi shouldn't kill defenceless enemy, not Jedi. Grevious was a defenceless enemy and Obiwan killed him. :P

[knightable]

nope general grievious had an electro staff in his hand wen obiwan shot him,get the facts right u fags and your so called movie sucks bad plot and effects and i will kick your ass in a lightsaber duel,i am going to show you how to really make a lightsaber deuling video once i get the lightsabers all made and the video camera

[ArtisticArts]

General Grevious didn't have the electro staff in his hand when Obi Wan shot him, Grevious dropped it on the first shot. Then the other shots killed Grevious after he had dropped the electro staff. I had just turned 13 when we made this, by the way.

[isal3]

Yes dude...they can....Master Windu was about to kill Sidious(defenceless) when anakin interrupted....A Jedi can kill an unarmed enemy...although it is not the orthodox Jedi way...but...to keep a dangerous person alive even if he's/she's unarmed...tat's disastrous!! Its common sense......Well tat's wat i think...its better to kill an enemy who can inflict severe damage on us while he's still unarmed....

[Josephiroth1337]

in a Lightsaber duel against a Sith or Dark Jedi, a Jedi can safely assume that the sith will be able to sense an attack from behind coming, a Jedi would've laid the finishing blow, but would have taken the defeated sith back to the council. Nice Force effects, but the fighting could've been better, a Sith that can beat back two Jedi shouldn't have fell so easily, other than that excellent

[ANTHONYJLOBOSCO]

i agree i mean count dooku a sith lord beat anikan and obiwan. in fact this is just like that that in a mater aof ways except the jedi won the first time.

[ArtisticArts]

that's true, maybe there's a bit more to Ibonek and how he quickly defeated Zantious: maybe that will be revealed in Episode 2.5???? Who knows!!! :)

[ArtisticArts]

thanks, yes the fighting could have been better: it was all choreographed on the day. Episode 2.5 should be a lot better...Maybe Darth Zantious was just a bit slow, and didn't sense the attack? ;)

[be3obpa3eH]

Awesome video...but I just want one thing to say-a true jedai never attack in the back.That was the mistake that you made,but any way-it`s a cool video.

[ArtisticArts]

thanks, maybe Ibonek wasn't a true Jedi? Maybe that will be dealt with in Episode 2.5? We'll see!! :P (so, just wondering what do you say to Obi-wan attacking Darth Maul from the back and killing him?)

[slacker4lyfe]

hey wat umm system effect thing to make the blades of the light sabers

[ArtisticArts]

We used older versions of adobe photoshop (5.5), premiere and after effects. We also used ulead videostudio 9. Thanks for the comment

[scrapy1224]

[gravesclay]

[rufusopus]

They always wear sneakers. The REAL jedi.

[gatus3000]

[Godfella]

Quality of the video could be better, but I love special effects! Good job, guys :)

[svenn95]

its god but let the evil win some time

[DarkShenronz]

not so bad

[VasFades]

A very good movie!

[QuestCardGuardian]

Well, that's a skillful movie! A very much earned 5 for the great effects!

[ArtisticArts]

Thanks alot all for your comments!!!!!!! :D

[NoNameFound5]

Great Video but how did you make the special affects?

[ArtisticArts]

We rotoscoped the lightsaber blades on using Adobe Photoshop 5.5, which is a special effects program that can edit each frame of footage. The sith lightning effects were made with Ulead Videostudio 9. We also edited with VideoStudio 9

Thanks for your comment!

[NoNameFound5]

thanks for the info

[hypnojon32]

wanted to watch all 4 b4 i commented but this was very good. very funny at parts loved the John Deere Speeder and you guys crawling into a storm drain. That takes dedication there. Two thumbs WAY up!

[ccoraxfan]

You guys did a pretty good job on this! I watched all four parts and actually enjoyed it, which is pretty amazing for youtube! 5 stars.

[BuddykitNoob]

i didnt like the way the dude with the green saber killed the other guy cus the sith guy must of seen the dude with grreen saber.

hope that made sense :P

[IcamStudio]

nice video...!! haha(^_^)

[delgadosteve]

I liked it, however I didnt laugh once. I would have liked it better if you tried you make it serious, without "funny" spoofs

[Timestopper117]

GO SITH LORD! >:D

[noroadsleftpetition]

the old films are still the best..

[job5verse2]

[solarsonic2000]

[georgepopa1970]

tare frate...copii destepti...bv

[zehzema]

well done outstanding!

[thecarrotdude]

nice, good work. could have been better choreographed, especially the way you killed him.

[ArtisticArts]

thanks, yea, I agree, that bit was pretty badly choreographed ;)

[Hellomachine89]

Are these FORCE FX LIGHTSABERS?

[ArtisticArts]

no, they aren't - we made the hilts then did the blade's glow on Photoshop. thanks for the comment!

[ManAtTheDesk]

What version? This kinda relates to my other question...

[ArtisticArts]

Version 5.5, it's really old, but does the trick and well :D

[Rokudaime56]

Sure it would be great for you to send the tutorial to me.

[Rokudaime56]

like how you got the lightsaber all glowing and stuff along with the sound.

[ArtisticArts]

we rotoscoped it with adobe photoshop. It's pretty much like painting it on frame by frame then adding the glow. :)

Just tell me if you want me to send you a link to the tutorial I used...

[methushael]

link pls.. o great master

[ArtisticArts]

sorry - it won't let me post it: I'll PM anyone who wants it :D

[Rokudaime56]

How did you get the lightsaber like that? It was cool, but it should have had more action.

[ArtisticArts]

Thanks, in what way are you wondering how we got the lightsabers like that? And yep, I agree it should have had heaps more action!

[PetarKenobi]

OMG, u 3 were in a sour! uh, dude, that's just disquiting!

[DarthDann]

the padawan is not that fast in beginning xD

[evilmuffin211]

Even Im not that nerdy. ahah. Couldve been done better..more moves..not enough action..the sith there couldve killed the blue guy easy.

[SWGisGay]

ugh jedi suck, make the sith win plz.

That force choke should have killed the second dude.

[Wolfenstingers]

havent you seen the robot chicken episode on force choke? :P

[dutdu]

odoc has a point.... i mean i know how hard it is to find jedi boots over the web and all and how hard it is to rotoscope but u guys should atleast improve the action and story

[odoc346]

Jedi Master? He's like 12. Now i understand why little Anni got so pissed of. If a 7 year old in Nike Runners can be but a Skilled Jedi who has the best Force control of all Jedi cant?

[gazra87]

just wot every jedi should have....a pair of nike runners!!!!!

[scholtus]

Please tell me how to anime it

the lightsaber!

[odoc346]

your a idiot.

[neblixsaber]

Odoc, how is he the idiot when you say "a idiot"?

Newsflash, it's "an idiot".

[ArtisticArts]

Thanks for the comment. That would be quite a lengthy reply!But we rotoscoped the lightsaber blades on using Adobe Photoshop 5.5. PM me if you want the link to the tutorial I used. :)

[aomtte]

You took the laying down putting up the lightsaber thing! Lol, nice!

[destroyernor]

A bit laggy, but really good animated :D

[wildcatbrian]

Join my Star Wars message board called SW -- Rebel's Lair. It has a great Star Wars Vault board, great chat, and a good EU board. I'd love to have all of you. _rebelslair.proboards83.com_

[Tayvar]

this sith dont know Force choke right, weakling creature, dont strong enough to defeat two jedis. the weak deserve their Fate. nice video by the way, except the paralyzed sith in the End.

[13constitution]

Hahahhaha...well done!

[Muziksvibe21]

Ending sucked, but the fighting was on point. XD

[abbster200]

twas very good but make tha light saberz brighter

[gd5001]

Haha, that was pretty flash. However I still think you are the three biggest losers ever, but nevermind.

[Dagis13]

hahaha nice

[fattacoman66]

awesome

[wwejohncena619]

i loved it 5 stars on all of them! make more

[Flameboy1996]

What software did you use for the effects?

[ArtisticArts]

We rotoscoped the lightsaber blades on using Adobe Photoshop 5.5, which is a special effects program that can edit each frame of footage. The sith lightning effects were made with Ulead Videostudio 9. We also edited with VideoStudio 9. Thanks for the comment.

[Daironsmith]

i think that was realy good. good creativity

[OKDDAY]

Very nice job the effects, enjoyable to watch.

Cheers.

[SamC434]

Wow that's amazing. I must get round to doing something like that someday...

When you do Lightsabre duels, do you use a solid material to provide the base for your rotoscoping? or do you just mime and eestimate where the blades would be?

***** Film, keep it up

[ArtisticArts]

Thanks alot! We use bamboo sticks to provide the base for the rotoscoping. We rotoscoped in Photoshop, frame by frame.

[SamC434]

Okay thanks... I'm guessing the force lightning is slightly harder?

[ArtisticArts]

Actually not! If you were to somehow frame by frame rotoscope it on, it would be. But I used Ulead VideoStudio 9's lightning effect, which I just keyframed. Very easy.

[SamC434]

Is there any way to Rotoscope in Photoshop without using Premiere aswell?

[GOOGLE123BRYAN]

????????????????? huh?

[ArtisticArts]

no, not that I know of, you have to use Premiere to convert to filmstrip so Photoshop will recognize it. :)

[SamC434]

Okay thanks

[willdabest]

i did like that ;) good job guyss :) 5 stars :P im in a nice mood :D

[rambojohnrambo]

that was lord revan, the outfit the mask revan al over except revan would have killed em

[mezmericfreak]

lol dude...thats definately not darth Nihilus..

and the end was pretty funny...cept for the fact a sith coulda destroyed them easily especially since 1 was down and the other was in force choke..

[ELEMENTALW1]

Very funny and silly XDXDXD!but really good effects good job :)

[batfinger]

SNEAKERS?????

[graffnameseed]

yes due to the lack of funding the jedi council is sponsored by nike

[ashleytisdale58]

this video is one of funny ones i ever see for star wars but great job on it i love it

[Jonbino]

what? how the hell did darkside man not se that end attack coming?

[Jonbino]

[Hanensko]

[DBfHL]
