Star Wars: Lightsaber practice

Since we've been learning to do these videos, Emmett's friends want to join in on the fun!

Here's a quick video we shot in an afternoon for fun.

The kids learned the basic sword choreography pretty quickly, and really loved the finished product.

For myself, I settled on my favorite way to animate the sabers using Blender. It created a nice white core with good control over the glow, and it was quick and simple to rotoscope.
