Home school? What a good idea - wish they had that over here...

Don't forget, programs like blender are free. I'm looking into it for my next project.

BTW, I am making a real sabre, too. Using bits of hosepipe nozzles and gardening tools...

The friend I mentioned earlier has agreed to play the villain, and he now has a Darth Maul sabre. The toy sabre blades are a little too thick for my tastes, which is why I'm doing my own.

Let me end on a positive note, being the 'Internet Good Samaritan' and all. For the ignited sabre shots in The Terran Conflict I just held a simple metal ruler which was lying around. It was too flexible, and way too short, but if you use wooden dowel or something, those problems will not arise. You don't HAVE to use close ups. When Lucas made ANH, he didn't have all the financial benefits when making the subsequent films. Many of the props and costumes were compromised to some extent, or photographed in a way to look their best.

I originally went ahead without my sabre prop because I was too eager to get shooting over with, so I could get to the post production good stuff.

The moral of this story?
Don't let hang-ups over props get in the way of your enthusiasm...

I wish you the best of luck with your project.
