@TheMartialartsJedi go here ryan-w.com/ryan-w/faqs.html and its in the second little blue faq. and the file is called RvD Set 1 untouched

[skah07]

wow.. the stick sounds crackling sound of a saber

[Chrisjouett12]

there is no way this took half an hour

[effectsfreak]

@Chrisjouett12

it's entirely possible. you can tell we he skipped some keyframes, because the blade seems to glide from position to position.

also the ends aren't rounded while they are blurring.

those extra steps add A LOT OF TIME.

those things aside, this isn't bad.

[Chrisjouett12]

idk lol, this seems to take a lot of time, but maybe it was possible because i ahve made a video like this, and me and my brother fought really slowly and so the editing took a lot longer, when the blades swing fast it moves a lot quicker in less time so i guess this might have been able to take an hour at the least, maybe a half hour if your extremly skilled in rotoscoping

[cjcool91]

no sound effects

[AppleAppKid]

this would take hours trying to stopwatch it

[darthguy3]

Wait, I saw your other comments, and now I realized you're having fun :)

[darthguy3]

Are you serious? That's insane :S

[Ir0nB0x]

this is rotoscoped ? wtf it would take hours and hours

[darthguy3]

It most definitely did too.

[jonnycy1]

ah that's a shame really. I hope ur dad get's off easy =)

[jonnycy1]

[jonnycy1]

[barfsonyou99]

YAY FOR NERDS! lol

[Thiefylord]

AWESOME

[TheAndrenator]

what method of lightsaber rotoscoping did you use to create the video?

[JediKnight941]

"DAMN!"

"FUUUCK!"

Haha good job rotoscoping. Loved the final version of it keep up the good work.

[firedemon1993]

how long did that take to rotoscope? for my history project, it took me like two days to rotoscope a minute and a half of lightsabers because i had to do two :P. good job on the action and rotoscoping! it looks great!

[francis150]

it took me sometime from half and hour to an hour... I estimated 1 minute per second of footage. Thanks for the comment!

[DarthAaron]

just curious how do lightsabers work in a history project? did you do like the history of movies or something?

[firedemon1993]

it was sort of a joke in a duel. we were using guns and we decided to put lightsabers in. you can check out the vid, type in the war and the duel and it has two parts.

[superboy5375]

you did a good job rotoscoping it, ive tried rotoscoping and it comes out weird at the hilt, do you think motion tracking is a good way to do the points on the hilt?

[francis150]

I would not use motion tracking... I would manually do it... I dont always trust motion tracking cause sometimes it could suck real badly. lol

[superboy5375]

sry i didnt read the discription my deepest apologies. understood. please forgive me. lol and i hate it when ppl do this kinda stuff and i ended up doing it to someone :( lol i suck at life apparently keep up the good work...

[francis150]

no, it is alright indeed! no need to be that sorry. and no you do not suck at life. its just simple mistakes we all make all the time. thanks for the comment

[superboy5375]

this isnt ur material buddy it belongs to ryan weiber and michael scott. dont take credit for others work. until you can explain to me how you are involved then i wont believe this is ur. dont steal its not nice >:(

[francis150]

if you havent read, I dont take credit. In fact i quote myself, "I was testing adobe after effects and I was rotoscoping for the upcoming movie I am making. The video was found at the Ryan Wieber's website and it was un-edited, so it gave me a chance to test, my rotoscoping skills. Stay tuned for movies that will involve rotoscoping." So, I'm only taking credit for the rotoscoping portion of this video. There was absolutely no need for explanation.

[DtheProfessor23]

this video is very inspiring to young saber wielders.

[bulp19]

Nice.... you're good at rotoscoping apparently

[bensfriend4]

i like all the fighting

[ice2038]

i think its better than any of the fights in the star wars films to be honest, well done

[Jagochile]

lol

[wookie4747]

daaaaam....FUCK

lolz

[Sielomax]

the finished duel is probably my favourite of all the lightsaber duels on the net.

[francis150]

I do agree. Did you know there was a second one?

[TheMercenary89]

I didn't quite get that.. Do you really fight that fast, or are you fast forwarding it or something?

[BandanaWedgie]

What happened is they fought at that speed because of choregraphing efficiently.

[Hairboy01]

very swish.

[jirdimaster]

Rotoscoping is fun u can do kinds of stuff with it.

[duneslug1]

looks decent as a test

[Seanyboy619]

lol FUCK!!!!
