HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN LIGHTSABER!

This tutorial will teach you
how you can make your very own
star wars movie with the most
important prop, the lightsaber!

There is only a couple of
things you need in order to
make a Star Wars movie.

BACK

First off, you need a webcam or any other kind of
video recording device that can be hooked up to your
computer in order to import and edit your video.

Second, you will need to hold something to get the
physical effect of having a lightsaber in your hands.
You can buy a toy lightsaber, use a paper towel roll,
or a remote control (what I used in this tutorial).

Third, most importantly you will need a good
imagination and filming skills.
Now that you got all that, lets continue
on how to make a lightsaber effect!

Open up Flash, click the line tool and change the
stroke (line) color to the color you want your
saber glow to be.

Line
Tool

Change
black to
color you
prefer!

Now with the line tool still selected, change the
stroke height to 10 and draw a straight verticle line.

Stroke Height

Verticle
Line

Click the arrow tool and click on your line. On the
menu bar click Modify > Shape > Convert line to fills

Selected Line

Now that you converted the line, you must soften the
fill edges. Click Modify > Shape > Soften fill edges...

Still Selected Line

A new screen pops up, make the distance 20PX and 20
steps expand the direction and click ok. Your line
now glows!

Your New Line!

Now click the middle of your glowing line so a thick
line is selected, change the fill color to white.

Almost a lightsaber!

Fill Color

Now you need to use the arrow tool and select the
whole saber, after that right click it and pick scale,
make the saber thinner changing the horizontal width.

Thin saber

Fancy hand-drawn arrow

Now use the arrow tool again to select the very
bottom part of the saber to make a straight base for
the saber.

All you need is a little
to trim off!

Good job! 1 step left!

You are just about done making your saber! All you
need to do now is convert it to a movie clip! Do this
by selecting the saber and pushing F8 and select movie
clip give it a name like... "lightsaber"!

You are done making your lightsaber! Now
all you have to do is import a video you
made into Flash (File > Import) and add
the effect to your movie! Click next to
get a tutorial on how to do this
successfully!

If the following
instructions
confuse you, click
the "HELP!" button
when it appears
for those sets of
instructions.

On with the tutorial!

Additional to your
video layer in
flash, add 3 more
layers. One is for
the lightsaber
effect, one is for
sound, and the
other is for music.

- Before you Start -

HELP!

HELP!

One thing to know
about importing
video is quality!
The better the
quality of video
imported, the better
effects will be with
the lightsaber.

- Quality Tip -

To give your saber
the "ignite" effect
create a motion tween
with 2 keyframes to
start off the first
keyframe you must
change the verticle
scale to as small as
you can.

- Saber Ignition -

On the 2nd keyframe
of your tween make
the saber fully out
this will create the
effect of your saber
coming out.
Click next to watch
the example!

This is the most time
consuming process of
all in making a Star
Wars style movie!
You have to make a
tween with multiple
key frames...

- Saber Movement -

It is possible to do
this frame by frame
as well but tweening
I found is easier. Try
to make the saber
stay attached to the
handle the whole time!
Click next to watch
the example!

When recording a
saber video NEVER aim
the saber toward you
unless it is
intentional. Other
wise it just makes
you look stupid.
Click next to watch
the example!

- Saber Accidents -

To give your saber a
swinging effect,
stretch out your
saber graphic in a
keyframe tween so you
mainly see the
whiteness of it. Click
next to watch the
example!

- Saber Swinging -

To make the saber
appear behind you
delete certain frames
where you dont want it
to appear, but if you
can see the handle
shrink the saber so
you can see it!

- Saber behind you -

Just like the "ignite"
effect create a
motion tween with 2
keyframes and do the
exact opposite what
you did to ignite the
saber... full to small.
Click next to watch
the example!

- Turning off Saber -

If everything was done
correctly you should
have a fairly decent
Star Wars style movie!
Now all you need to do
is add your saber
sound effects and such!

- Congratulations! -

Click next to watch the
completed video!

Use this to add layers!

Confused where to put things?

Make sure the video
layer is always on the
bottom, anything else
can be above it.

Return

Return

Confused on import quality?

Better quality
bigger file size
better graphics.

Leave this
unchecked
unless you
have talking
in your
video.

How to ignite the Saber (Detailed)

In order to make your
saber ignite. Add the
graphic to the
appropriate layer where
you want it to show up.

Create a motion tween by right clicking the
keyframe where you added the saber and make
another key frame 5 frames after the initial
keyframe. *Future tip make all your keyframes
for the saber motion tweens*

Step 1

Step 2

On the first keyframe make
the saber as "short" as
possible, on the 2nd keyframe
the saber should be full.

Step 3

Example

Keep your saber Attached!

GOOD

BAD

Always keep an eye on the movie and your motion tweens.
Sometimes keyframes are right next to eachother if movement
is too fast! But always make sure the saber is together!

How to swing you saber properly!

To make the saber look like
its actually swinging stretch
out the width of the beam in
a keyframe in the middle of 2
other key frames.

The first keyframe should be before the
swing, second keyframe is DURING swing, and
third keyframe should be after swing.

Example

Saber behind you (Detailed)

Whenever you are holding a saber
behind your head preparing for a
swing. Make the size of the saber
short for those certain keyframes
to make it look like you still
have your saber ignited!

Example

Full
Size

Small
Size

How to turn off the Saber (Detailed)

To turn off the saber
make 2 keyframes for
the full size to small
size saber. Opposite of
igniting it!

Create a motion tween by right clicking the
keyframe where the saber is ignited and
getting ready to be turned off, make another
key frame 5 frames after the initial keyframe.

On the first keyframe the saber should be
full size, on the 2nd keyframe the saber
should be as short as possible. After that
keyframe delete any other remaining
frames!
