That Ryan's a little trooper. -----signature----- Revan sounds like a girl's name anyway... www.youtube.com/inkpenavenger www.fanfiction.net/~randomphantasm www.myspace.com/gothamknights_wod

	That would've been my next guess, of course. -----signature----- Check out my VFX-blog where you can find my fx tests and my video tutorials as well: You'll find my tutorial for lightsaber wall cuts there, too. . http://petergerri.blogspot.com/

	I did do a shot in one sequence where a guy gets a lightsaber thrown at him and it lands in his stomach. He catches it in time for it to not go all the way through him, but when he pulls it out I just used the hilt so there was nothing interacting with the shirt or what have you. Yeah, it looked pretty bad. Either get a cheapish shirt and cut a hole or use some sort of prop in a position where you can mask over it while it's poking into someone and possibly mask it out for the retraction effect. That seems to be ideal. All the multiple take stuff in the initial post is overkill. For certain effects you need this, like a decapitation, but not for a simple stab. -Vaportrail -----signature----- Fanfilmers shoot first and talk copyright later. http://www.vimeo.com/vaportrail/videos http://thespenceleyspoileriffic.blogspot.com/

	Cut the front or the back off where the shirt begins; you look like you're being stabbed from much closer to the camera than you really are. That should help. Oh, and change the blending mode of the saber. Please.

	Ok. Why change the blending mode? It's on screen. -----signature----- Registered May '06. http://youtube.com/RobinHeiberg http://soundclick.com/RobinHeiberg http://facebook.com/Robin.Heiberg Music doesn't need to be complex or complicated, as long as it sounds good.

	...that it is. For some reason it looks odd against the shirt. Too dark.
