This is my first FX test of my clone and I fighting with lightsabers. I just finished it and would like some pointers from you veterans on anything i could do better.

I liked it, but I noticed that the other clone got a little close, and I would make the lightsabers a little more skinnier. Thats just my opionon. Hope this helps you out.

 

which clone are you refering to.


loose?

The clone with the red saber.

 

which clone? i think he's referring to you


anyway, i really liked the test. good job, i thought it looked realistic.

 

Nice work. Your masking, etc is mostly good. But, you ran into the hardest thing to get right in many clone shots: Physically acting in the correct positions relative to each other. You're a bit uncomfortably close to yourself, and there is a little overlap. You handled it pretty well with your rotoing, but you know. So, good work, next time focus more on being sure everything will line up properly for you later.

 

i reccommend, if you didnt already do this..., to actually find a friend to choreograph with. memorize the entire fight, from both sides, then film without your friend...

hope that helps

 

Thats a good Idea. I'll have to try that.

 

same as when they filmed episode1... they actually had an actor on the set for jarjar. even tho he wasnt in the actual shot, the other actors were able to practice to movements with a real actor, memorize them, and then perform them so that the character could be added in CG.

 

thanks guys for all the help. I think I will try another one of those this weekend...
