Just thought i'd let you all know that i'm currently working on a Star Wars Fan Film, entitled 'Overtime'.

We've been in pre-production for about 2 months now, and we finally go into production this Wednesday! Hurrah!

Click this link for regular updates on the film : Overtime

Over the years i've done my fair share of Fan Films, with Henry Jones Jnr and the Cup of Asmodeus and Hellbent : A Hellraiser Chronicle. I hope 'Overtime' will blow them away! happy

Got another filming session happening tonight.

Need a little advice. I'm in the middle of shooting the big fight sequence, and wanted to know what people like most about a Light Saber fight? Just curious...

Pretty colors and flashy lights!


Just do your best to keep up a good speed and make it believable, then it should turn out fine. And since it's a parody, if you put in some silly stuff I'd be cool with that. I love a good laugh.
IMO don't try to create a fight based off of what others like to see. Just do whatever to your liking, and it should turn out alright.

But, since you asked, I personally don't like when someone holds their saber backwards, like a dagger. It seems kind of dumb.

Oh, and be sure to practice. Lots of practice and rehearsal should take care of most of the problems that could conceivably happen while filming.

Good luck.

Cheers guys... and for the record... i dont like the Dagger holding thing either.

This is a parody and will have a few gags in with the fight, anyone got any gag style gems i could use?
