Ah After Effects. That’s one program I know I’m going to have to tackle at some point. Just … not yet.

It’s a nice effect I really like it, I agree with Kdog.
I’m actually doing the same thing for live action in a multimedia course I’m doing.
But instead I’m using Adobe After Effects. *time consumed sigh*

Thanks Pat! You’re right that this could easily be applied to other forms of swordplay, and it would be fun to do too.

Fantastic tut, Will. Simple & effective, the best kind. :) You could really have a lot of fun with this one, & the same general approach will work for any kind of swordplay with a few minor changes. Excellent as always, rock on.
