@FrankDaTanka This is a mix of a few songs and sound design. The first song is called "War is Coming" by Epic Score, and the second is "The Mother of All Battles" by Immediate Music.
So how long does it take to edit? And do you mask or have a specific tool for the lightsabers? Oh and how many lightsabers so you usually have in each video?
@Pirate92a This video was rushed into needing to be completed in essentially 3 days. Hour wise, it probably took about 30 hours or so to edit. I would guess there are about 100 lightsabers in this one (over 200 in last year's). We use the Andrew Kramer lightsaber plugin for these videos because you only need to keyframe 2 points instead of a 6 point mask. Even though this method doesn't look quite as good, it is fast which is what we need for this many lightsabers.
@AJR3 Awesome, I like that plugin too, it takes away so much time from editing. So you going to try and get someone to take over and continue the lightsaber tradition?
@AJR3 You must take on a padawon to continue the tradition in your place as you keep the tradition for the one who had the idea! These videos are too awesome to not continue!
@Pirate92a I really should try to find someone to take my place when I leave next year. Though I sort of doubt that I will be able to find someone who has the patience to go through and do this for the hundreds of hours it can take. Either way, I think I will try to make next year the best one.

@BeirutBabe94 Yes, this happens every year. Though next year will be my last, so it may be the last time that the video has lightsaber effects in it.

@AJR3 Nah! I'll bet you'll find someone, you'd be surprised how many people just love to do these kinds of effects.
