Overlapping Digital effects on martial arts

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSW4qDs-JU0

What software allows orginal bo weapons and martial art weapons to be converted to lightsaber digital effects,is there any software that has digital overlapping from a normal bo to lightsaber bo? Here is a sample of normal bo video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beK42d_33Vg&NR=1 and how do you show lightsaber effects can replace this bo using digital technology, anyone wants to try this attempt on the sample video on IQ test number 1?

Answer 1

true, although to perform such a task is extremely tedius since you are essentially placing a lightsaber glow overlapping the stick for every single frame of video (30 frames to a second of video) MANUALLY. it gets even worse when you are twirling it around behind you and you have to account for when the stick passes behind a person.

try the free 'LSmaker' if you want to attempt it, but i will warn you that you will need a lot of patience because there is no automatic setting (it could take hours to add the lightsaber effect to that 45 second clip)
