Saber customizations, that make them look more like they do on screen.

[BurceChuat]

I was wondering if anyone has ever shot a film with US sabers before, with nothing done to their LEDs or blades to block the light from the camera.
How did they look on screen?

They did it here:

The blades retained a lot of their color.

I'm still waiting for a description of the Omen, Catalyst, and a few more I'm forgetting about.

I'm thinking of creating the sabers my main characters use out of parts from the Custom Saber Shop, along with some pommels and emitters from US.
The only thing missing is the Emerald Drivers.
Any ideas on how to aquire some of these?
I need about twelve of them for my heroes, and quite a few more for some sabers that I plan to build for a scene where there is a large display.
Thanks for all of the amazing answers thus far.

You could contact Ultrasabers about selling you the drivers and the LED's but I don't know how willing they'd be. It would also get pretty pricey.

Assumption Number: Emerald Driver and RGBW/A: $140

 x12: $1680

Well, I just watched a video on YouTube, that made me glad I'm dealing with US as opposed to some of the other saber smiths out there.
One of the others has what I would call poor quality electronics.
Although US does have their issues here and there, but they seem to be better about fixing them than the other guys.
Thanks US for being amazing, and helpful.

I have an interesting question, if not a unique one.
In my films there are times where the sabers are going to need to fall to the ground, either because a limb was chopped off, or the saber was knocked out of someones hand.
How can I do this, without damaging the saber in the process?
Thanks in advance for all of the interesting answers.

Have something softer for the saber to land on perhaps?  Depending on camera angle and the like.  For shots of it landing, if it doesn't need to be on, use an empty hilt perhaps?

[BlindJedi]

Another interesting question.
In my films there are a few characters that carry multiple weapons, and I was wondering, if you guys have any ideas, as to how they can carry their weapons, and still be able to move and sit down.
Two of my characters carry two single sabers, and a staff.  One of them carries a rifle and pistol too, while the other only carries a pistol.
Another character carries four single sabers, two staffs, a pistol, and a rifle.  This guy is a little weird.
A lot of my other characters either carry one or two sabers, some carry a staff, and all carry a pistol, very few of the other characters carry a pistol and rifle along with their sabers.
So any ideas you guys can come up with would be extremely helpful.
Thanks.

Wow, this thread is really quiet lately.
What's up with that?

[ithekro]

Maybe we are running out of answers, or you are stumping us on the questions.

I don't know how to carry that many weapons like it would be normal for the character.

[BlindJedi]

Ok, here's a real head scratcher.
I'm looking to create a staff with a solid body and two removable ends.
In the center of the staff will be a solid part with a leather wrap.  The two ends will be medal and removable.  The ends will contain all of the electronics, so I need to figure out how much space an Emerald driver, batteries, switch, and LED take up.  I'm hoping it is less than six inches.  The covertek wheel will also be on this section, at both ends.
Does anyone have any idea how much space the above electronics take up?
Also what is the shortest emitter that US makes?
Thanks in advance.

The shortest possible US emitter would be the blade holder "rings" from the Flamberge sabers.

Can these be attached to MHS parts?
What do they look like?
Thanks for the answers gang.

They can be attached.

They look like pretty simple rings. They have some small grooves that go "outward" from the inner ring.

Silver with black grooves (black on the outside depending on your Flamberge model)
