Sorta.
Dave DiLeo wanting to try “rotoscoping” decided to take a scene from one of my favorite movies “The Princess Bride” and give Inigo Montoya & The Six Fingered Man Light Sabers. The feeling just works… and makes you wonder why you didn’t see at least a little of something like this in Star Wars… A little finesse.
Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films. Originally, pre-recorded live-action film images were projected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an animator. This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years, in the visual effects industry, the term rotoscoping refers to the technique of manually creating a matte for an element on a live-action plate so it may be composited over another background. It became a trend to do the light saber effect a lot in previous years. That’s how we got the “wonderful” Light Saber Fights.
