Build a Lightsaber, Become a Jedi

does it realy work, like the ones in star wars and if it does someone post me a comment! PLEASE WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when cutting the holes in the main tube for the grips, do any one that has built these from "the yellow box" had any problems with cut hands when used aggressively? I tried emailing the guy from that website but it came back with an error.

loved the anding halarious gonna try it made the tommy and halo armor..... u should make p90 or m16 that would be cool

This is awesome, can't wait to try this. and the ending is really funny

cool awesome where do you get the tubes

i want to make this

if you want lightsaber video effects, google search "lsmaker" its free

Google 'big yellow box tripod' for lightsaber instructions. Black vinyl rubber is 'no-slip' floor mat or 'runner' from Home Depot or similar hardware store.

Where did you buy the black vinyl rubber?

me now have 100$

Revenge for the knife throw test film.

I second the idea for a keyblade, I would like to make one myself but don't have a clue where to start

love the lightsaber!

cool i think i might build this!

To: Felicia Elizabeth Escapade (guest) I have excepted your request and i have come up with the blueprints on how to make a fake neck into which a vampire can bite.

This thing is cool and all. But I would like to known which software to put the saber on.

Nice lightsaber. But how do you make a jedi robe, tunic and utilaty belt.

How do you make that intro

lol "I bet it doesnt even cut a person" ^^

Finally! Jared was the one who got killed! Erik's died enough times already.

I found another site that shows how to make many types of sabers.

Where can I get Exact ringtone of The Final Countdown like in this show?

Erik I am begging u to make sith stalker armor from the video game Star Wars The Force Unleashed. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where did u get that old guy lightsaber

can a real one be made?i mean a real one not this plastic bullshit but a real working lightsaber?

gold saber beam..niiice..i wonder why they never used that color in the movies

"I'm gonna rob a bank with this!" Haha, funny test film, and really smart looking lightsaber!

serious where in Brookyn are you from exactly.. i seea very similar video frommy roof..love your work.. and how your present it.. would love to do a project with your guys. i currently co produce a Show and would love to do a piece on your production jonathan@hotshotzent.com

Wow this is great! First time on the site

lol i love this stuff... i love the test film i bet it dosnt even cut through a person lolol

how about clone armor

Yeah we get it you look a lot like Mark Hamill :)

What was that song used when he turned out the "pimped" lightsaber :D

Video copilot has an easy way to make a lightsaber, although it doesn't look "realistic" if you check out Ryan Weiber's effects www.ryan-w.com there is another place to find how to do lightsabers

will the preset work for wax?

HEY ERIK thanks for the plans ive looked b4 and i couldnt find any that werent to complex this 1 was really awsome i just got done making it with my dad (i designed it he cut) hopefuly i can send u sum pix cuz i think it realy bad ass if i do say so myself also u didnt mention if u held the 1 1/2 pipes were kept by sumthing so i added sum jb weld and it came out really good. Thanx again

one question how can i buy a lightsaber from USA? coz i am from greece

Build the Supernova off of Ratchet Deadlocked.

please please make a keyblade frome kingdom hearts

can you show how to make a lightsaber after darth sidious that is like the force action lightsaber

Love the episode!!! good blade, also great story idea!!!!! wish you were located in CAL I would ask for a job!!!!!!

what would be cool if they did a bfx of a kamehameha from dbz of a hadouken from street fighter!

The jedi outfit was pretty sweet. You should have included where you got that. Did you use LS maker for the visual effect? It looked extremely cartoony. I'd expect more from you indy mogul. I mean this build was a gimme from the start.

i know the plans can be found on thebigyellowbox site but are you going to produce your own mogul written plans as they will be a 100 times better and easier to follow!

what happens if the spiner hits trip2jersey

I have alwais wanted to make my own batman costume. I don´t have any lether like in the movies but is it possible that you can show me how to make my own batman suit?

Did you know that in the original star wars movies, the lightsabers' glow was created by a process called "rotoscoping" (animating a hand- drawn image over live action film, invented by Max Fliescher)? But in the new movies they use computer graphics.

Dude, I know my internet is not the greatest, but it takes forever to download your vids, even streaming. Can you say compression?

they banned me from the forums

I loved Jared's costume. lol at the wig

That test film was bitchn'

Congrats Erik I'm like the hugest star wars fan and it was so cool to see you actually do a lightsaber episode. Well done :) I wanna make one now.

Um, Steve? Since when is "BioDome" a classic *anything*? Cheers!

goddammn it, i was going to say that :D

You know, I've been thinking, and I think it'd be great if you guys did an episode on how to make a fake neck into which a vampire can bite. You know, one that looks realistic and bleeds and can be punctured easily.

The cool thing about about this is that if you double up on the parts for the emitter and make the hilt and grip pieces longer you can make Darth Maul's "Bo Staff" Light Saber

There´s a mistake! You can´t see the lightsaber in the mirror at the first scene of the test film. But great work!

I cracked up wen the music got turned on. i will make two of the lightsabers.

great episode but do a episode about fx computerprogramms

I found a hidden blooper. After Erik Says "ha finished!" he tunrs the lightsaber on and we see the beam glowing. Look in the mirror on the wall. There is no beam glowing. Just thought I'd point that out, did anyone else catch it??? Great job by the way, checking out video co-pilot really got me interested in adding adobe after effects to my list of things to buy.

Best test vid ever. Hilarious

you can use the blown in half effect for the sliced effect

Sleep deprivation is not a badge of honor, damn Justin. And riding the NY metro at 3:00 am? simply crazy. Get an inflatable bed at the shop Erik.

Loved the effect. The lightsaber looked great. And the Arrested Development reference was nice.

excuse me. please stop being so effing awesome. thank you.

Wow... best effect ever!!!!! And Eric... it's okay if you mix up Sci-Fi references. Not everyone can be as cool as sci-fi nerds!

I always thought Erik looked like a young Mark Hamill.

That was good. Thanks guys.

another dead friend.

HEY, WTF, I REQUESTED THIS LIKE 3-4 MONTHS AGO!!!

ONE OF YOUR BEST !!! KEEP UP THE GRRRRRRRRREAT WORK

Awesome

LOL best test film since the face melt!

great film!!! i love the "final countdown" ringtome!! reminds me of arrested development! great test film guys!!

I love the design. Great creative work Erik.

quit it i laughed my a$% off on a side note you realy are "dynamite with a laser beam"

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible job, test film was spectacular.

o ya and my 2 favorate things about film making erik beck and lightsabers

hahaha final count down lol!

so cool, thx erik

I'm in awe. IndyMogul took one of the most overdone tutorialized things on the intarnets and provided a new spin and fresh take on it. And the test filmed rocked! Kudos!

wow this is how i made mine but the test fulms better then the movie i made buy a long shot but 1 diffence is i used plastic pvc and refelcter tape

Haha guys that is probably THE best test film yet! its friggin' hilarious! :D You guys really need to produce a dvd, like of all the best BFX test films, or like a make an entire Indy Mogul short film... using a large selection of the effects.. now that would be awesome...!

This was really great! Loved the test film!

awesome guys!!!

That was super cool! ware did you all get the outfits? Keep up the good work!

That was awesome.

Sweet! Where did you guys get the sweet Jedi outfit?
