This is a short video that I shot with my Sony DCR-PC100 digital video camera and edited with Adobe Premiere. The lightsaber effects were added with Adobe Photoshop using a technique called 'rotoscoping' (frame by frame editing).

Here's where I learned to do this:
Lightsaber Effect Rotoscoping in a Premiere Filmstrip - A very good step-by-step guide to adding lightsaber special effects to your video using Adobe Premiere and Photoshop.
Build Your Own Lightsaber - Not a very well designed site, but it does contain detailed instructions on how to build your own lightsaber prop for under $30.
