Figured I upload this. It really was just a competition between my brother and I to see who could do it better: older or younger, LSMaker or After Effects. Mine is After Effects. I'll post a longer, and final version when its done. This is his: youtube.com/watch?v=E6X21NJ6Z2c

Some other info:
I also followed Ryan's saber contact tutorial. As well as some rotoscoping in the beginning with the saber igniting (had to one up my brother!)
