  Lightsaber Reflection

  Posted by Spencer Tycksen on August 13, 2015 at 7:16 pm

  Any quick ideas on how to generate a lightsaber reflection? I have my light saber, and am hoping to make a reflection off the face.

  Also, does anyone know what those knock off soundtracks are called? Like the fake Star Wars music that sounds close to the original, but isn’t the original.

  The term you’re thinking of is a “soundalike.” Audiosparx probably has some good ones.

  A simple way is to create an adjustment layer with some color correction effects to brighten up your face and color it the same color as your lightsaber. Then, use feathered masks to make it only effect certain parts of your face.

  This old tutorial from Video Copilot covers it: https://library.creativecow.net/articles/kramer_andrew/lighting.php
