If any one has questions as to how some of this was done, feel free to ask. Many are working on their own edits and may want to make different changes in their own edits. I use Adobe After Effects and Davinci Resolve. The light sabers for instance are completely re-rotoscoped along with all blaster fire. This is not co-pilots saber app. The dual tone was achieved in the sabers by creating two layers at different colors and strengths. Just rotoscoped a white solid layer. Gaussian blur, with multiple layers at different levels. Precomposed over a black solid and turned into a screen. Using curves allows you to now apply color and brightness strength. If you are changing colors though, you must duplicate main video layer and mask out the saber after using the change color feature. Otherwise your screen will be a mix of the base color and your new color. So change base layer to the color you want. For the dual tone color. Duplicate your final composition layer, with your bottom layer set to darker tone and set brighter, while the brighter tone is on top and not as bright/wide.
