But back to the box, Seth, what the hell is up with those rails?!
Another thing Seth, you know how we all think it would be easy to use bladed sabers for the hut scene?
The angle the camera is at allows for easy cg work on throwing in the blades
Any other angle would be too difficult to cg in blades with out a reference in place (rod)
Just like how fake punches are filmed, they look perfect at one angle, watch the scene from another and the fist is a foot away from the guy. They can pull off this same trick with the lightsaber blades this way
I’ve been going by this theory since everyone thinking they NEEDED a blades stunt for that scene
I feel real strongly the white glove saber (resin stun) is the creepy uncle, and that is why the creepy uncle has so much CG work done to it...
Check out the top of the grenade section on the prodigal son..
On which box? I've always thought the TFA ones were oversize-- but they look like the cave build box on the ROTJ hero. The white glove, no idea...
But obviously onscreen it looks like the ISYHCANL. (THE ONE TRUE BOX IN MY OPINION!)
That's what I was saying a few posts back-- I don't know they needed a bladed stunt for this shot that was heavily composited.
I'm still hovering between the resin saber being used and retouched for what's onscreen-- or the onscreen saber being a CGI shot with the resin saber having been used for scanning and reference
Uh-- also check out the wide edge of the rings. That looks a lot like the white glove....
No word of a lie this is a beautiful metal paint job
simple spray paint. Air brush paint will get the best results, however your basic spray paint will also work great. Any ordinary bright yellow, (not mustard or school bus) nor neon. Any metal paint , even chrome. Try it.! You will be pleasantly surprisedLike, aluminum spray paint, or actual aluminum?
Hey Gang! Sooooo, we're ruling out cast aluminum because..... why exactly?
And then the seam would be removed more than it is.

See, I was thinking that if they had sanded an aluminum cast and the seam had inclusions, that it would be more difficult to get them removed entirely.
With a resin cast that you were going to paint anyway, wouldn't you take 2 seconds to fill it with putty/bondo/more resin/primer/etc.?
With aluminum inclusions, you'd have to fire up your welder and fill them in with a touch or two of ye olde aluminum welding rod. Which if you were in a hurry, or didn't have the equipment or skill to do so, might make you stop short of perfecting your prep-work and you'd sand it as best you could, paint your arrows, neck and grip, weather the rest and call it complete.
@Fusion needs to stick around the Awesome CON folks more and get all buddy-buddy with the Star Wars crew and get them to let him give it a heft test!
