Thats my mate Peter. It took him an hour to put the blade in all 95 frames of that 3 second video. I'm off to his tonight and we're gonna film a longer sequence with the Duel of the Fate smusic dubbed in. Dunno when it'll be finished though. I'll give a link when it is.

It is three seconds, either Peter typed it in wrong or his days must drag! But very nice with the <U>three second</U> video, look forward to seeing the end product with both of you involved.

We did the pre-production last night, spent about 2 hours planning it, then rehearsed it this morning and filmed it early afternoon. Now we've got to go back to ILM (my house) to upload the footage to my PC, save it to disc and get to work on the post production. I'll be handling the audio editing whilst my friend Peter's going to do the digital effects for the lightsabers.

Depending on how good it looks, we might include an opening crawl or something.

All in all the scenes about 20 seconds long. We're going to carry on learning swordsman skills and eventually do more and more complicated fight scenes with better effects.

And if Mr. Lucas finished with Episode 3, then maybe we'll carry on with a third trilogy after the Battle of Endor! :)

I can do the opening crawl for you, just give me the text and indicate whether you want it in fullscreen or widescreen format and whether you want it in mpeg or divx format, and it'll be Lucasfilm quality.

EDIT~But then, if your movie is going to be 20 seconds long, a 1 minute 30 second opening crawl might be a bit silly.
