Check out this lightsaber movie me and my friends made, the compression threw off some of the gunshot sounds but other than that it's pretty good and only 4 mins. www.sitesled.com/members/agentorange/smallsaber.wmv (5mb)
I am not in the movie, I filmed and edited it.
Steve Zissou: Anne-Marie, do all the interns get Glocks?
Meanwhile, it takes me like 15 minutes to do a single frame of lightsabre-ness, how did you do it?

too much free time, maybe, very cool result, definetly. i think you needed some blood for the shootings and whatnot. the lightsabers are pretty cool but i doubt george lucas is going to be losing any sleep.
Pete: i know!! number one complaint was that there was no blood, but we didnt really think it out.
As to having no life, well it did take a while. One afternoon of filming at my friend's apartment, and 5 days editing. The double lightsaber part was a bitch, because i had to do it twice.
Got a four day weekend starting tommorrow, so were going to go down into the vally by my house and make a war movie. (prolly vietnam cus we got the jungle. Hopefully we can get some blood, but fuck, food coloring is like $4.60, and i used all of my moms when making a scene where a guy gets hit by a car.
Haha you know at the end where the ninja comes down from the floor above? Floyd discovered he could do that while trying to impress some girls.

There are lots of alternatives to food colouring... tomato ketchup, tomato puree, etc. I don't know how real it will look because I haven't tried, but used carefully it could be convincing.
In some shops you can actually buy joke blood, too.
And if someone loses a limb or something... chili con carne.
Ages ago, me and my mates made a Samuryan film on crappy VHS-C and we went to the local Spar shop and raped it of red food colouring, I think we spent about £15 quid, it was about a pound a bottle, it's not too expensive and if you mix it with water it goes quite a long away. I agree, CGI blood looks crappy, and you don't get the nice stains.
