Hi everyone! I tried to make a convincing lightsaber effect on stop motion studio, but I can’t say I’m satisfied with it. I really would love some feedback or suggestions!

Haha, I like the handcrafted look. What software did you use for the lightsaber effect?
Usually the way people tend to create the effect is by creating a white box where the lightsaber is supposed to be, then giving that a coloured glow on the edges. [Here's a tutorial for it in GIMP](http://www.gimpology.com/submission/vie … er_effects), if you're interested in that.
If you prefer to do it by hand (I really do like that style), I recommend doing the colored edge first, then painting white over that so that you can get a thinner "glow" edge.

Thanks! That is how I did it I”m pretty sure! I used a pro feature on stop motion studio to do it! I’m glad you like it!
