RYAN WIEBER VS. MICHAEL "DORKMAN" SCOTT
What began as a friendly rivalry between two effects artists explodes off TheForce.Net's FanFilms Forum and into the real world in a lightsaber battle royale.
Originally created for the forum's lightsaber choreography competition, this fight to the death will decide once and for all who is truly most skilled with a saber.
There can be only one.
(I did not make this short film, stop asking me how I made the special effects. Its a mix of rotoscoping, photoshop and After Effects.)

FAQs (from ryanvsdorkman.com)
How did you do those lightsaber effects?
We used Adobe After Effects to rotoscope the prop blades and add glows to them. Essentially the same way ILM does it. After Effects was also used for a variety of other visual effects you see (or don't see) in RvD.
How long did it take you to make this, and when did it come out?
We choreographed and filmed over the course of three weekends, and spent about 4 months on the effects in our spare time, finishing March 1st, 2003.
Did you guys have any martial arts or sword training when you made this?
Neither of us had any formal training of any kind at the time of making RvD. Just watched a lot of movies.
Where was this shot, and what is that thing in the background?
RvD was filmed at Carco Electronics, who built flight simulators for the aerospace industry. The machine in the background is a satellite tracking positioner, the specifications of which were top secret. After the machine was finished being built, it was shipped off to an "undisclosed location".
Where did you get the lightsaber props you guys are fighting with?
The saber props were actually built for this. They were made in several parts using a lathe, mill, and other metalworking tools. Aluminum tubing (like you can find at your local hardware store) were used for the blades.
What kind of camera did you film with?
Canon GL-1 camcorder.

True. But let's face it, lightsabers are much cooler.

Actually, it is very possible for a force user to deflect full auto. It just depends on how well trained they are.

That could work, but you'd think more jedis would do this with blaster bolts (but they don't). The closest thing I've seen was a jedi blocking a lightsaber thrust with her bare hands (presumably with assistance from the force).

No, you think about it more closely. Seeing/sensing/knowing where each shot is going to go doesn't matter if you can't SWING YOUR SABER FASTER THAN A BULLET. Imagine this, a fully auto weapon firing at a Jedi. Out of all those bullets, some travel to the head, some travel to the chest, leg, etc. The jedi deflects the ones near his head and maybe his chest (which is unlikely) but won't be able to move his saber down fast enough to reach his legs (even if he knows the bullets are down there).

I would think that the they would just melt the bullets down to scorching hot liquid metal, and the person holding the lightsaber would get a face full of molten metal.

I feel like at that point you'd just stop all the bullets with the force instead of trying to block them with your lightsaber.
