Before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPPj6viIBmU and
After https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GJOVPjhXMY
This is basically how it is done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWOjJ5oFpuo
Install the video copilot preset to make your saber a little more awesome. https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/saber_plug-in/ or https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IPVCEU-4NDuEYcMerq-RXSOsrysqSs1v please download it to the D drive before you try to install it.
Try to shoot your scene with different camera angle or shot types.
Try not to have your saber go behind you or an object (it will take more time to rotoscope)
Include sound effects (some are linked below that you can use)
You may add in an additional soundtrack (royalty free) to create mood for the scene.
You may also want to colour correct to help create the mood.
Be creative and have fun.
AE tips
ctrl+ Arrow will advance the timeline by a frame
When you apply the saber to a solid, you will need to change the following property to remove the background. Under Render Settings --> Composition Settings - Set this to Transparent
You need to click on the stopwatch for Core Start and Core End. Make sure that you drag Core Start to the hand and Core End to end of the Saber.
Be careful not to drag the background of the solid layer, make sure you are only moving the endpoints of the Core.
Handin your final video along with a split screen of the original footage and the final version to google classroom and post on your site.
