Personal Log: Adrian Rodd

Well I was once, many years ago, in the heady days of my youth. With two friends, I made a video in which one friend and I battle it out in a breathtaking, terrifying lightsabre duel, complete with dazzling special effects and at least two lines of dialogue.

The video lasts 21 seconds. It took 5 hours to make.

I'm the guy in the ridiculous costume with a face you can't really see, with the red lightsabre.

This scene was initially supposed to be part of a longer film, which would have included droids (i.e., hoovers meants to be droids), and holographic aliens (me in a mask with a filter effect). We never got round to doing more than those 21 seconds, though.

The full video is now available on my Facebook page, here.
