Light Saber effects in After effects

[MasterChafed]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU1MswB4_7c this is a link to my video which is my first attempt at making a light saber effect. In the vid I used only a handle for reference, the light saber is completely digital. I have a better video in which I removed most of the blade shaking, but I am having trouble uploading things at the moment. so enjoy.

Awesome, nice effects! what did you use to make them?

[MasterChafed]

I used, as the title implies, Adobe After Effects. It is a technique known as rotoscoping, and it is very time consuming, it took me maybe an hour to make the last one and about 3 hours to make the first one.

this is pretty cool, I like to play around with movie editors some times, but I dont think i could produce something like that

it is really quite simple, but very time consuming
