Topic: Nate Caauwe and I made a Thing. With Lightsabers, obv.

Just doin' my part to up the viewcount. Y'all understand.

Seriously though, I'm proud of this. Boter and I were driving to CO from MI and Nate put us up for a night along the way. Naturally, we spent our time that evening bickering about our preferences for just what a lightsaber would look like in IRL and, well, this seemed like the best way to put the controversy to rest.

Ha, yeah, it didn't.
(Nate totally admitted he understands that mine is probably more accurate but he just prefers the aesthetic of his. Seriously. That happened.)

I fucking love this.

Also, Vapes, your reaction to the saber going into the wall was hilarious and I want to make a gif out of it.

Ahahaha, even better on the second viewing. I love Nate's "ugh, get that shit out of my face" glances. And Boter's doofy-ass Botersaber.

Also, made a Reddit r/vfx thread for this.

(And you, meanwhile, had to modify your usual aesthetic to get it to look right in HD. Compromises!)

Boter, formerly of TF.N as Boter and DarthArjuna. I like making movies and playing games, in one order or another.

Hahaha yessss.
I was super picky about that shot in editing, too. We almost lost it and ended using a lesser version, but I insisted "I know it's in there!"

The first comment on Reddit is pure win: "Cool! Only complain is you gave them all the same colour lightsabers."

I'mma have to go with Nate on this one. And you guys should totally do an extended version of this for the next LCC.

I have a duel lined up with Weebs. If I'm entering anything else in LCC, it'll be that tongue

And that first Reddit comment kinda bugs me since the whole point of doing them all blue was so it would be more clear that the style was the difference. Oh well; we knew only a select group of people would truly appreciate this. Glad you guys are digging it! It was a blast to make.

Pft. Every little bit of anonymous acclaim you can get from Reddit is good.

Haha yeah, I've got another project I'll be working on this summer, but I have a feeling Nate and I will see each other again. I'm gonna try to help with RvN if I can, but we're waiting to see how scheduling goes.
