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.

You have no life.

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.

The lightsabers look pretty good! Too bad there was more running than fighting though. -.-

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.

Jp, add the blood digitally, it's hard, but it means you can get a decent run filming without stopping to add dye or blood packs.

i tried that, it looked pretty gay and I dont have a motion tracker so the blood is all willy nilly. And particle effects kinna look gay for blood.

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.

I have a large amount of movie blood that I bought from a makeup dude who owns a pharmacy a few years ago. I use it all the time. Observe:

That's congealed blood, but I've got more fluid stuff too.

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.

Uh, the black guy says "Who are you?" Does that count as dialogue?

Nah nah, perhaps, perhaps.

This film would be better if you could add some
extra speed in the fighting scenes (altough, not too much so it doesn“t turn up comical ..)

Pretty good. The lightsabers were pretty cool. I would ;however, suggest a little more time on the fight choreography. There seemed to be to many times where nothing seemed to be happening. You want to keep the action as continuous as possible so the momentum of the fight isn't lost. Very good job though. Definitely keep going with this.

If you wanna check out another great lightsaber fight look here.

The dialog isn't very good but the fight sequence kick ass.
