Lucasfilm is taking a cue from the Stephen Colbert Green Screen Challenge. They're asking fans to make videos using Hasbro's new spring-loaded toy lightsabers and submit them to a special YouTube group.For any fan who's used Hasbro's new spring-loaded Force Action Lightsaber to flip on a light switch, swat a fly on the ceiling, unclog a drain, or launch a ping pong ball across the room, Hasbro's got the contest for you!The best video will win a trip to the “Star Wars Celebration IV” in Los Angeles and a fancy chrome-plated toy lightsaber.
People have been making lightsaber videos forever (see classic “The Star Wars Kid” or the impressive “Ryan vs. Dorkman”). Now you can actually win something for it—and sounds like you don’t even need to worry about adding your own digital effects.
I like that Ryan vs Dorkman one... it's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteApparently I wasn't one of the 957,225 people who saw Dorkman before. Great stuff. And those Colbert clips are great too. Makes me realize how any kid with After Effects can easily put me out of a job.
