Star Trek vs. Star Wars! The Great Lightsaber – Phaser Battle
![]() |
Lightsabers, phasers, and a hand gets lopped off to kick start the Film Riot series! The age-old bout of Star wars vs. Star Trek, has led to this mind bending, mind meld of a first episode showing you how to make your own light saber and phaser effects.



Use Andrew krammer Preset ! its easier and way fasterrrr
what editing software is that
first one says “I will tell my friends about Film Riot” didnt catch the second one, but it does say “Film Riot” at the top.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH TIM IS AWSOME!!!! LOL MAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH STAR WARS OWNES!!! TIM is fucking halarious lol
Live long and prosper mutha f$#ka

Wish I could increase the FPS of my eyes to see those Flashes (Yes I replayed, trying to hit pause at the right moment…*sigh*)
I wonder what is the actual rate an eye captures a “Frame”. I bet it captures everything, but our Memory of it is unable to play it back slower…. Oh, to be a Vulcan, I bet they could.
disturbing picture… buh at
watch mmy videos and thnx for the tutorial
star trek!!!
set phasers to fuck u up lolololol but go star wars!
After Effects should cost you around $1000 depending on who and where you buy it… but if you’re a bit computer savvy you can always download a cracked version to test out. But always buy the full version if you’re gonna make a living out of it!
haha
I’m a bigger fan of Star Trek specifically the next generation but for coolness factor it would have to be Star Wars. Star Trek has nothing that compares to the force or light sabers.
Hey!!!
how much is it for the after effects software?
you guys are the shit.
ROFL! I love it.
Star Trek damn it!!! 8 )
i love this show
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?..
Hahahahaha!!! STAR WARS for me!
OMG…. I did that lightsaber effect before,
it was the rotoscoping task from hell.
The phaser effect requires work but the result is rewarding. Cool hand chopping effect.
TIM and JOSH crack me up. Awesome work, Ryan!
You guys are sooooo hilarious! X-D X-D X-D
star wars

lmao
Or you can use the Videocopilot Lightsaber preset
