Good. What editing program do you use?
After Effects. Do you have any suggestions for improvements?
It looks very good. Maybe you could create reflections from the lightsaber on the character.
Right know it doesn't look so special, because the guy only moves his arm.

And some Sound would be nice.

Also, the guy's movements don't look very realistic. It's smooth, but a little slow. Try easing in and out. Other than that, it's pretty good!

Thank you for your feedback. I did ease in and out. The movements were not meant to be quick, that was the speed I was aiming to get. He was just meant to be waving around the lightsaber.
Well good! If you can get the speed you want then great! It's just that when I think of a person twirling a lightsaber, I picture it a bit faster. But if that is the speed you want, then keep it. Don't listen to me! ![]()
Look great!
The only things I found odd were the speed of the animation, and the may the lightsaber blended with the background.
The way I usually do it, the 'Add' blending mode makes that look perfect.
Thanks for the advice. I'll try to implement that next time.
That was a fairly good test, with a great lightsaber effect! The animation was not choppy in the slightest, it was all put together very smoothly! I liked the way you had Maul going behind the back. Very cool!
Thank you very much.
Looks quite nice. The animation was smooth. The masking job when the lightsaber went behind his back was very well done.

The animation is smooth in my opinion. What frame rate do you use?

Smaller white in the middle.
I agree. But then the lego blade becomes visible. Should increase the glow?
