Lightsabers

Daniel Musashi and David Barron used fire dancing and other spinning tricks to embody the ways of the Sith and the Jedi in the latest short from Kuma Films. The Dark Side user has flashy and aggressive moves while the Light Side disciple flows with his blade.

Practical effects wizard Joey Shanks shows us how to replicate the lightsaber effect seen in the first Star Wars movie not using digital trickery, but the same 3M Scotchlite reflection effect that Lucas and his team used back in 1977. The spinning blade trick was brilliant.
