That is soo cool, nice job

[TheTiz007]

@raindmask Thanks!

[guitarrecord101]

how did you get rid of the actual racquets? masking?

[TheTiz007]

@guitarrecord101 no masking. the raquets were small enough and moved fast enough so that when the glow of the light saber was overlayed, it blocked out 99% of what you could see. The only masking I did was when the lightsaber passed in front of the player.

[beherit15]

you are wasting it too much

[TheTiz007]

@beherit15 wasting what? 

[ThatBritBloke]

Watching this after the jedi badminton video, really emphasises quite how slower a sport tennis really is compared to badminton

[TWill800]

You know what would be hilarious? If we sent this video back in time to like 1980 and told people it was real. It would blow their minds.

This would be badass!! Btw @danmark433 ummm....... The swords are made of light..... Light doesn't have a shadow....

[danmark433]

No shadow of sword on the ground, you could add some to make it more realistic xD

[tennisguyADNA]

@ThatBritBloke hmm maybe because a tennis court is 3x bigger than a badminton court...? a tennis ball actually moves much much faster than a birdie

[bollpwnbay]

Djokovic probably uses dart maul's light saber

[gokharol]

Funnier to watch :]

[Ou8y2k2]

@TaiwaneseSamurai The court is composed of convex mirrors. Oh shit, that's too much alliteration. lol

[Ou8y2k2]

Woah...now I see why Federer lost this match. There's almost no contrast between the ball and Nadal's racquet.

[OHGM88]

Rafa Nadal won¡¡¡¡¡

[stuchly1]

@TWill800 They'd then ask why didn't you bring the actual "raquets"... ;-)
