Pen Saber

This is project two of my After Effects series - the pen lightsaber. I used After Effects 7.0 and Andrew Kramer's Lightsaber preset for this short clip. The actual movie clip was shot using my Nokia 6680. Also, you did not see me wearing my highschool P.E. shirt. It's part of the special effects.




I've yet to get Adobe Premiere and Adobe Audition so for the mean time, there will be no sounds on this film.

For what it's worth, after a few hours of going through tutorials, After Effects ain't such a hard horse to tame anymore. Still, I find some of its controls hard to understand. But I guess that applies for everything - including women.

Specially women.
