The sabre mov is superb, we should make a full length one!And the twins are lovely, hurrah for them - you can't beat a visit to a beach on a cold day. Your partner looks just like a friend of ours called jessica, was a bit suprising as I thought it was her at first.

Full length one is on the wayScript nearly finished (if anyone fancies doing a touch of script doctoring, let me know....my dialogue writing is questionable), location booked, props procured, bank of 3 G4s ready to handle the FX

They're not all mine2 of them are. Trying to convince Mrs WD-39 to transfer some of our re-mortgage into my bank account for a shiny new G5. But she doesnt want to. Do you have script-writing skills mate?

I dabble in it......but I wouldn't go as far as calling my cac-handed efforts 'skills'.

Howdo you track the sabre and get the length looking right and all that?

Ifilmed myself in my living room with one of those crappy toy lightsabers. Then I imported the footage off my DV camcorder into Commotion Pro 4.1. Rotoscoped over the blade to produce a white matte with black background. Layered that over the original footage in After Effects with a screen transfer to remove the black leaving the white animated blade over the top. Applied a blur & the colour to the blade, then saved that. Opened that in Premiere to add the sound & music. Exported the first 5 and last 5 frames as jpegs so I could remove the toy lightsaber blade from the shots where the blade extends. Simple. Only took me 4 hours for 10 seconds of film.
