so, i made this lightsaber animation on sony vegas, my first one
files used:
a picture of a lightsaber hilt
sony vegas
lightsaber sound effect
2 solid white media generated pictures from sony vegas's nifty little list
this took me a long time to do, because for the first half i was adjusting every single frame, and then i found out halfway through i didn't need to do that :P
so here it is:

lol it's purple like Mace Windu's lightsabre AKA the GangstaSabre. Nice choice.
Anyone else find it odd that Samuel L Jackson was the only black character in the entire Star Wars sextilogy, and that he was also the only one with a purple lightsabre? Jedi segregation, much?

i've toyed with this stuff in the past, have a few vids up. I always used ls maker, as i was a video nub back then, but it works quite nicely regardless (i prefer the effect to what most ppl do in after effects) yours looks quite good, though i find the white of the blade pulses a bit too much.
(some of mine)

the reason the white pulses a bit to much is, i think because of three reasons
1: i wanted it to be more like the lightsabers in the original trilogy
2: its moving slower so its much easier to focus on that
3: there are 2 bars, white and purple, and there both the exact same size, just 2 different blur types, thats how its done in sony vegas

It shows. The first half looks really jittery and awkward, the second half looks much better.
