I think if the visual is too subtle only nerdy forum geeks like us will pick it up.
Who do you think is going to be watching this, LOL.
Seriously though, it’s kind of a jump to describe the suggestion as being too subtle for a thing I’m comparing to the V-hold on a TV being broken. That’s not a subtle thing. It’s just not constant
I’m not saying the effect, as-is, is bad. It looks very good, especially considering it’s placed right next to the professionally done effect that is Kylo’s saber, and it blends right in. But I’m saying maybe it shouldn’t look exactly like Kylo’s saber - it should be broken in a slightly different manner. Maybe not as constantly noisy and crackly, but more of a rolling, wave-like fluctuation.
I think that’s fair, it would be relatively simple to possibly make that change… I could do an alternate version that might look a bit more wavy or looks slightly different than Kylo’s in some and see what everyone thinks
EDIT: Also, Hal I loved the sound effects I’ll get you a ProRes version of the clip soon
