Lightsaber Duel

A while back, www.theforce.net hosted a LCC (Lightsaber Choreography Competition). This video took the Grand Prize, with my own duel right behind it in 2nd place.

This video was originally entered without any visual effects whatsoever. I and a partner of mine (Thrice3) decided to take this duel under our wings to rotoscope the props to lightsabers. I, along with a few select TFN members did the majority of the rotoscoping.
I did the lightsaber sounds, the lightsaber glows and recreated the soundtrack.
This entire project took about 2-3 months, if I remember correctly.

You can read up on our completed project here:

Enjoy,

David

finally, a video that contains the true meaning of lightsaber rotoscoping

[davidadametz]

Thanks a lot. I appreciate that. Took us a while, with all the team and stuff. =)

I prefer Ryan/Brandon/Michael VS Chuck Norris.

Wait, that would be way too unfair.

[davidadametz]

Read the information, genius.

I didn't make this fight.

I'm not Brandon Flyte or Ryan Weiber.

This was entered in the contest without effects.

Bryan Higgins and I added all of the effects along with other TFN Members as a project.

We used After Effects for the lightsabers and the clashes.

Recognition, pretty much.

[majorgeek]

Ryan must be REALLY strong with the Force to keep coming back because he keeps dying in every video he does!

Great work, by the way. I think I'm starting to collect Lightsaber duels on YouTube, now!

[SantixIris]

[isshiahluk]

1:05 is the best part...this is one of my favourite duels. :-)
