Making a Lightsaber effect.

It's possible, but you have to edit the clip you filmed with Photoshop for each frame. Then you import each frame into a video editor, export it as a video file, then re-import it, speed it up, export it, import it, speed it up, and so on, until you're at about 21 FPS. Add sound, and you've got a lightsaber fight scene. If an actor drops their lightsaber, make another clip of them dropping it and reverse it, making a Force effect!
