brother's pain
Well since no one reads down I will put this at the top
"ADAPTED FROM 'ART OF THE SABER' BY HO BROTHERS"
Note to everyone that's talking about color of the lightsaber and the clothing or how the sith should be wearing black.
Well this movie contains lightsabers, but it is not at all Starwars related. It does not follow the Sith and Jedi storyline. And also, life is not always black and white. That's the reason for what the characters wore.
Check it out on "On The Lot"
shortened version

This is a student film made for Millburn High School's Mass Media project. The idea first came to me after watching Ho Brother's Production "Art of the Saber" so they are credited as the ones that truly inspired this film. It is my first attempt at making a full length 10 min film and the second short in my inventory of movies. Through this film, I learned how to use Vegas, DVD architect, Effects lab, iMovie, and Premiere. Definitely a good learning experience concerning the camera work and how to flow everything. Although I am not exactly satisfied with the turnout of the movie, I thought it wasn't too bad. There are many glitches and mistakes if you watch carefully but being short on time, I was not able to film or re-edit. I had a span of one and a half week to edit due to the problems concerning filming and importing of the clips. Within the week and a half, I spent more than 90 hours total of editing including rotoscoping and re-exporting because of the glitches within Vegas. It was a sketchy idea in the beginning thinking that making the light saber effect was impossible but after research, many things can turn out to be easy. This movie was time consuming and many people helped out. I thank everyone for that.
