# to make the sabers
Captured the movie in adobe premiere.

Export file as a film strip.

import the filmstrip into photoshop.

add a new layer above this. fill it black and set to "screen".

use the line tool or lasso and cover over the stick i was holding in white on every frame but on the same layer as the black (which u now cannot see as layer is set to screen)

duplicate the layer 3 times. the on the layer second from the top add a gaussion blur of about 5 - the one below that 10 and the one below that 15. then merge all the saber layers together and set them back to "screen"

then adjust the layer to a colour u like.

export as filmstrip again

import into premier and it runs as a movie



hope this make sense
