Just a little test video using special effects like lightsaber, force lightning and throat cutting(+ some "300 slow motions"). None of us are good actors because we were only two guys there when we shot it, and one of us is a director and the other is a special fx designer. We also had to operate the camera.

  • That head chopping scene was legit dude. I'm wondering if that was green screen or not.

  • No greenscreen, just rotoscoping :P

  • work on your lightning

  • Yeah, I'm not satisfied with the lightning either, but think I found the reason to why it sux: daylight. make sure to record in dark (or darken the footage in AE BEFORE you go on with the litening!).

  • cool but howd you do head part

  • make sure your camera is "locked" on the tripod. then find your position in front it, and fall to the ground in two different shots: straight downwards(body), and one where you jump to the side (head). Have an image of the background as well.

    Rotoscope your head  in the baody-footage and replace it with the background. Rotoscope your head in the head-footage and paste it above the body-footage.

  • adjust them to fit together and add the litesaber flash.speed up der head-Teil and add some directional motion blur if necessary (use the motion blur switch anyway).

see all
