How to make the Darksaber in Hitfilm Express
Hello There
With the Mandalorian Season 3 on the horizon next year I thought what better to make than a tutorial on how to make one of the most unique lightsabers in Star Wars for stop motion and live action projects. I hope you all enjoy this and stick around for a special look at the end for Fall of the Republic!

    How to make it shoot twice?

    • @wolfpackanimations4125
      @wolfpackanimations4125 3 місяці тому

      Repeat the tutorial. If you want shots to be fired individually I always skip 5 frames after the first shot has left the frame however if you want it to be rapid fire then I skip 3 frames after the first shot is fired before I start again. I know its probably a bit confusing but experiment multiple times to see what works best for you. If you want a video example go to my 501st video, find a shot where a Clone is shooting and reduce the video speed to 0.25x and count the number of frames between blaster shots to help you.

      Thanks man, it was literally just some experimentation work I did while I was bored, I can remember how to build them but I've now upgraded to CAC backpacks. the build was done by using a neck plate with the stud and then use the bluish grey brick with four studs on all sides, a republic printed round stud on the back, two tiles on the sides angled and finally two slope pieces on the top and bottom. hopefully I've explained that well enough to build it although if you watch the 501st video at certain points you can figure out what goes where.

      Trim the Lightsaber mask to when you want it to start and when you want it to end on the footage timeline. should be the white line above the base footage that says mask 1. I think that's the issue your facing, I know it's happened to me plenty of times.

What I can suggest is doing the effect again but when starting with the mask trim the lightsaber timeline from the ignition to the end of the shot. If youve got different shots youll need to make a new mask for the saber but just copy the effect from the first shot and make any alterations necessary like blade thickness and glow. Just try that and follow my tutorial closely. I know it's tedious but its the best I can suggest without seeing whats on your screen. Hope this helps.

      For my lighting in this film I used to use these lamps: www.amazon.co.uk/Rechargeable-Brightness-Control-Energy-Saving-Portable/dp/B09FSKW8JS/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1SUX2GRMAKX8V&keywords=omeril+rechargeable+desk+lamp&qid=1665082880&sprefix=omeril+rechargable+desk+lamp%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-6 However since then I have upgraded to these: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08VHMCXWW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These personally are much better as you can dim these to many different levels and change the light from a more orange sunset to just a normal white light. I used three lamps from both types as this really helps even out the light source and makes a scene look better. I hope my answer helped you.
