Man, I haven't thought about the Big Yellow Box in a long time.

Cool, dude! Keep us posted on the progress.

Re: Lightsaber

Jeez, Big Yellow Box. Brings back memories.

I built my own lightsaber too when I was younger. The result was... not that cool. I was actually planning to build another one, but then I started studies and the hobby kinda faded away... If I ever need one for a fan film someday, I think I'll just order one from Ryan...

Anyway, that's pretty cool. Pretty curious to see how you're gonna make the detachable blade system!

Re: Lightsaber

Master Collection is a waste unless you're also very into in web, print, and mobile software design.

Re: Lightsaber

Production Collection was what I started with. Thumbs up on that.

I remember wanting to make a BYB saber many years back, but the people in the hardware store had no idea what knurled knuts were.

Re: Lightsaber

CS6 will be coming out in June, if you're inclined you can install/uninstall the 30-day trial a couple times until then.

Re: Lightsaber

As paulou said, you probably don't need all the things in the Master Collection if you're mostly planning on doing video. We only got it because I also use InDesign and Acrobat for print layout projects. Production Premium is half the price and the only differences are InDesign, Acrobat, Flash Builder, Dreamweaver and Fireworks. None of those are useful for video editing and effects.

Re: Lightsaber

A friend of mine has some props that are easy to rotoscope. I haven't seen them yet because I'm picking them up over the weekend. If they are good, I'll figure out a way to use them.

Re: Lightsaber

Keep me up to date on what you guys wanna do for that filming thing. Make a list of shit you need and want for the production like set pieces, props, computer programs; whatever. I'll let you know what I can do for each thing.

Re: Lightsaber

shouldn't we get together and talk about choreography and stuff....?

Re: Lightsaber

Well yeah, that's a big thing but first figure out what materials you want so you can go "Hey, we could use a and b during this portion" instead of saying "How the fuck are we going to get a and b for this portion".

Re: Lightsaber

Im thinking about writing a script.

Re: Lightsaber

Well, however you're gonna fasten the prop blade, it'll be wobbly. It needs to be secured further down the hilt as well, to ensure stability. Just look at the Novus. Ain't no better thang.
