Im prepared to be flamed or something for this, but its worth a try, just hear me out.
I know a "black blade is not truly possible how we all imagine, unless we use After Effects (with viideo co-pilots helpful tips)
I was thinking. to make a black blade as seen here:
Maybe use a single white LED (brightest is Seoul P4, if Im remembering correctly) at the base of the hilt.
Take a mix of Jay-Gon Jinn's blade construction here:
And place styrofoam like Hasbro and MR use in their LED blades, but cover the styrofoam in black material.
(Im currently using electrical tape to test it, and I will post pictures soon. Im actually nowhere near home as Im typing this but I needed to try and get this to someone who may feel like trying sooner.)
Im thinking that maybe the LED with the help of the thick plastic of the outer blade will help the white stand out even more, and solve the black blade controversy.
When I get home, which won't be for at least 4 days, I will put this sith to work. If anyone wants to try before me, please do.
