Light The Way (A Starwars Fanfilm)

The question any starwars fan asks wonders -- What if Lightsabers are real? What Moral choices come with such a weapon and what happens when you are pushed to far.

A word from the Director:
Written May 14 2008
(1 1/2 years after completion of "Light The Way")

I started on Light The Way in August of 2006 and completed it in a short six months premiering it in December of that year. I look at this film as the crossroads of three years of study at my High School.

This film signifies a lot of firsts for me.
-My first "major" script.
-The first time I had no utside help in regards to filming an editing.
-The first time I had done any serious directing
-My first shot at special fxs.

Although I had worked with my teacher back then on a lot of stuff he kept the paseing and the structure on set.

On this project I had to do all those things. I judge this movie a lot on it's technical aspects, and more importantly it's depth as a story. I understood how much it takes to create a detailed and rich story after completing this film and those lessons carry over to the way I conduct my self in more recent projects.

I realize that this film Is not going to win an oscar for acting camera work or directing but it was a start for me and one I will never forget.

I hope you enjoy it for what it is and what I see it as. A 17 year old teenager's first attempt at a major story.

Enjoy the Film

ehh....

@Darthkippy12 - Yes...Yes I agree. 5 years ago. I will agree with your review :D

[0Iluvater0]

Had to watch this again... Is Eric's Character some sort of rogue Jedi or did he kill that girl?

[theguardianreturns]

@0Iluvater0 - Eric was the one who killed Chris (My character's) girlfriend, the one who trained Lisa, Derek, and Jennifer, and who Chris "kills" at the end. (although we didn't get to finish the fight because I knocked the kid who played Eric out by accidently punching him during our choreography. :(

Hey Ethyn, I loved the choreography, but I have to say, the introduction was really powerful and it built me up for a much deeper video. I couldn't really tell the difference between some people in certain scenes, and I don't remember hearing that Eric got suspended until after his suspension was over. The twists and the plot got really fuzzy--I can tell you *had* an awesome plot in mind, but it wasn't clear enough. I would love it if you did a remake or another movie now that you graduated.

@SirTristan1023 - Thanks for that. Yeah well we did try and do a re-make in 2008. But my mac i was editing on died and I lost all my data. (No back-ups couldn't afford a extra HD) and so all we have left is a teaser trailer that you can find. What ended up happening was I had one story in mind, then about halfway through it changed so what your really seeing is two different movies kinda merged into one. Plus we just ran out of time, this is a VERY incomplete story.

@theguardianreturns, holy cow, a least that shows you really got into character! What was his motivation in training the three kids?

[theguardianreturns]

@afdolphin - lulz. Yeah this movie was really shitty. I can't watch it anymore. It burns...kinda like crabs.
