9/21/2017 1 Comment After Effects Light SaberThis project was definitely a learning experience. It was pretty cool to work with this lightsaber plugin, and was super rewarding in the end. The different saber appearance presets were really impressive and fun to mess around with. I had no background on rotoscoping going into this, and I wasn’t too confident with my skills in Adobe After Effects overall. I thought that the keyframing was going to take a lot less time overall, and it proved to be a bit more challenging than I anticipated. When we shot the video, we weren’t very conscious of our movements. We swung our pseudo-swords around quite a bit, and that was very difficult to mask in after effects. It was a fun process, but I really feel like we bit off more than we could chew. I had trouble placing the mask properly due to the motion blur and the lighting. There were a few occasions where I manipulated the whole layer or mask unintentionally, and ended up having to re-keyframe certain parts over and over again.There are definitely some points where you can see my mistakes, but I am overall still happy with the video, and I think it has a lot of endearing niche qualities.
