Between Light and Darkness

[JosephDeJesus]

Last Samurai music fits well here :)

[gunvor69]

FUck I hate all these credits!!!!!!! Just show me some action already!

[chasharv]

severus is a harry potter person's name ( Severus Snape)

[Desmus55]

@chasharv

Because no one else can be named Severus.

[nedster01]

In your titles why not add "between light and darkness lurks shadows"

Also it would of been great to see at 6:48 in the two door ways a jedi master and a sith standing, watching and just observing

[nedster01]

In your titles why not add "between light and darkness lurks shadows"

[Desmus55]

@nedster01

Because the character is trapped between choosing the Dark Side of the Light Side of the Force.

[schmoops3000]

this is very good. one of the best i've seen. pretty good acting too. i was a little confused why there was so much fist fighting but its still choreographed very well, especially for amateurs. the only thing i was left wondering - why didn't you shoot the confrontation w the dark lord rather than telling about - it would have been epic!

Also, not a fan of the shirtless thing either. If anything, it seemed a little over the top.

[Desmus55]

@schmoops3000

At the time, I was very limited to what I could do with people. I had my two main actors seen here but the other actor who was to portray the Sith Lord was unavailable mostly ALL the time. So, we only released this part of the story. But don't worry, the entire story is still on my mind and might possibly be made 100%. :-D

[higle6]

why where you shirtliss?

[madeleine77031]

Omg put a top on

@(-_-)@ lol

[DaSlimer]

camera was shaking but its stull awesome

[DarkStar3141]

Nice tie-on cape fag. Most intense acting physically and emotionally huh, I think that is a sign, never act again, ever, for the love of everything holy, never act again. As far as story, Jedi and (?Not a Sith) in a druken bar fight in the middle of nowhere, STOP, just stop.

[komando231]

if i was a jedi i would my fist only when necessary (but i would use the force to make my punches stronger)

[PickledFoo]

Fantastic acting, well done.

[dwoodsky]

good, veryy well animated, great fighting scene, the acting perhaps could be better, but altogether an exelent video

[OrkiraMusic]

when the sad music came on i was felling that i was almost gunna cry lol

[destaniofhearts]

Kris makes a good bad guy, for sure. Sean is really good at... getting beat up... and playing the good guy. There's a lot of emotion in his voice near the end. The music is fantastic! You did a fantastic job of capturing the true essence of the dark side: rage and self-destruction. This was captured beautifully when Norian missed those punches near the last bit. So much character and emotion. Such a triumph over other fan films. Bravo!

[Painkiller99120]

4:15 lmao! great job!

[MultiJake2000]

why wasn`t kris wearing a shert

[los2gatoslocos]

i like it very much, good effects

[WarHero4159]

and the dark side dont have shirts ??? nice Saber effect, the background looks like a warzone hahaha, the punch in the back honestly, should have knee'ed him in the guts ahahahaha Memnon so out of scorpion king ahahaahhahahaha

[hcomedygames101]

severus frm hp ha i love that but its more like a evil name

[ccburgett]

the setting should have been darker to go with the mood

[ccburgett]

very nice, i like the look and feel, but the sabers are a bit thick trey to use a smaller thing to fight with as sabers 5\5

[VampCoffee]

Ok. I don't know about anyone else but I if were a Jedi Master I would NEVER resort to plain common fist fighting. The Force carries it's users above that level of combat.

[Desmus55]

But never would you use the Force against someone you're trying to save, especially if it's your brother.

[DouglassRobert]

Hey, Jedi and Sith do what they gotta do, be it swords, fists, feet, the Force, whatever the job calls for...

[ToonandBBfan]

Great video, very powerful and moving.

Thanks

[ChaosOmegaNova]

This was beautifully done. Very emotional, it kind of follows the philosophy that should a Jedi solve all his problems with a lightsaber, he will ultimately turn to the dark side. For it is meant as a symbol of the order not as a weapon, only the sith see it that way. A jedi should seek peace through compassion and understanding. Till the end, severus is a jedi through through.

[destaniofhearts]

Nice fist fight. I'm glad to see the jedi/sith fights away from lightsabers every now and then. Very emotional. Nice acting. It was a little awkword, but I think it was only that way because of how real the situation was. So, interesting concept, for once, the bad guy comes back to the light! WOOT! Though I have to say, you guys did that so well that I'd like to see the battle with the sith and watch Serverus's death scene. Lol nice post-credit humor.

[omghahaxd]

awesome

[xlxAUST1Nxlx]

OnThisGround. Calm down. These guys's videos are phenominal. Your just jealous because you don't have the balls to do this stuff.

[leroynwdl]

you got told! Harrison FTW!

[OnThisGround]

wo dude wtf. do u still fucking live in yer parents basement? this is fucking pathetic that you have the time to do this. its not even cool. get a fucking girlfriend fag.

[Desmus55]

Nope. I live in my own house. And I'm gay. :-p

[jediorder98]

@Desmus55 seriously or r u jst playing around

[SKULLBUNNY911]

Says the guy looking for these videos. oh yeah, you completely showed him.

[thestickmanstudios1]

@OnThisGround it's also not cool to bash people who took the time to make something you can't, you little bastard

[StarWarsChronicles]

the effects and fighting were really good the acting was ok but overall i like it 3/5 stars

also if you get a chance can you check out my star wars videos

[stuprohtuasore]

bello ma niente di che...

[bassrocks101]

omg, dude what editing stuff do you use? downright amazing. do u have a machine just built strictly for it? or do u have a something that can be used just with a PC or mac?

[bookworm1138]

very good. norian is a better actor than hayden by far!!!

was this shot in california...or some desert location?

[Desmus55]

This was shot in an abandoned Sand and Gravel plant in Arizona.

[mvaldez02]

I would've changed the ending. . .had the brothers kill each other. .at the same time.

[Desmus55]

That'd be downright depressing,

[LFfilms]

Hey Desmus, how long did it take you roughly to rotoscope the lightsabers? I'm doing a project like this and I just wondered how many hours i'd have to spend doing the lightsabers, top film by the way!

[incadove]

It's like Brokeback Mountain meets Star Wars! Post coitus / pre reunion. Yikes!!!

[NavajoJoeFilms]

You love it!

[jackthefrenchguy]

Great job, excellent music selection, very dramatic. 4/5

[10000nutz]

The Sith are emo.

[NavajoJoeFilms]

Damn Sith!

[lovereslove]

That's A Very Good JOB,

and by the way your lightsabers effects were Fantastic , wonder how many hours took you to apply that effects

GREAT 5*****

[driftura93]

LOL thats an amazing video good job you two

[deadmeat90]

my god...the starwar fan fighting has gotten bland..well what i've been seeing but this was simply amazing though it didn't have a lot of lightsaber fighting, this was by far one of the best videos i've seen :D! great work.

[jediavatar]

Well done! You needed a little blood in there, but it was cool all around. Waiting for part 2!

[yaminokai]

OMG! You had me crying at the end.... T.T

[LFfilms]

Fantastic film and the score choice was great, really makes this an empowering film

[futbolbro]

You guys were really tired at the end, weren't you?

[Desmus55]

Yeah, you can say something like that.

[Frostwolf223]

Well done. I'd very much like to see the confrontation with the Sith Lord. You two are very good actors. Keep up the good work.

[dunklersuperheld]

no offense, it was kinda funny when you started punching each other- that was truly unexpected

[dunklersuperheld]

how do you get the title and credits like that?

[Duke0fAllTrades]

You should film that epilogue.

[jweinrub]

Great job man! Great choreography as well! I have to say this is one of your best films to date!

[FunnyGuyTimmy]

Wow! That was one of the best fan films I've ever seen.

My only complaint was, if you're not an old 80's rock star leave your shirt on.

Two thumbs up.

[Desmus55]

Haha. He was only 17 at the time. ;-)

[lousaffire]

god damn guys third time watching it and the end just hit me alot harder than before, this has alot of beauty to it something you dont find in most fan films

I want those punch sounds though lol

[Desmus55]

Sorry! Just got back from my vacation in Washington. Ummm, send me your email address through a YouTube message and I'll be happy to forward the sound effects to you.

[DrKVaen]

5/5 guys well put. the only thing bad i would have to say is the intisity of the blades seemed a lil to much but that may just be me but well done keep up the good work.

[Desmus55]

Yeah, one fault in this project. But it really didn't matter to me. They still looked beautiful!

[DrKVaen]

yeah other than that it looked really good.

[lousaffire]

excellent production though guys the sound effects for the punching are perfect did you make them yourself or find them?

[Desmus55]

I found them.

[lousaffire]

where please for the love of all that is sacred in small films !!! lol

[lousaffire]

another cool duel , but i gotta say jedi are nothing without the rest of the kinds of people in the setting

[supermacfan101]

that was totally ausome im definitally going to add and subscribe to u guys XD

[Desmus55]

Thank you very much!

[expelliarmus007]

that was amazing!

real nice work!!

[Falzar22]

it is all very well love it

[lordzavulon666]

Awesome movie. Personally, I think you've already made your film. Your actors and the story is great and dramatic.

We Dark Others here at the Day Watch wish you all the best in your future films.

[LFfilms]

Brilliant! love it, i'm in the process of making a lightsaber film :) good work here guys

[Desmus55]

How's that coming along?

[LFfilms]

I've got a script written, I've got actors, all i need now is to get the costumes and find the time to sit down and decide when to film it and edit it as i understand its a lengthly process lightsabers...and college is eating most of my time right now...but thank you for your interest, it's still in early stages

[stache05]

the music is brilliant

[Desmus55]

Marco, John, and Hans always hit the spot!

[stache05]

absolutly

[DoubleeTeeVee]

This is amazing!

The editing and acting are both great.

Excellent job!

[theunholybudders]

I loved it, however the saber effect was WAY too intense. I don't know whether that's due to the mood you set or not, but it's just bad looking.

[BenMcEwan]

I Think the saber effects were a little bit blown out because of the colour grading on the footage. I like my sabers a little bit blown out because it intensified the glowing hotness that lightsabers are!

It's all really personal preference in the end... Thanks for your input! =)

[SilentBat]

Wow ... a star wars fanfilm hasn't got me teary-eyed in so long.

[BlackGatchaman]

VERY GOOD ACTING!!! 5/5

[hattemaker]

I really hope to see a high quality version if this in the near future. Any chance there will be a HQ version for download?

[Desmus55]

There will be a high quality version available on Vimeo in the coming weeks.

[hattemaker]

Great. Looking forward to it.

[dstipek]

great film! 5/5

[tricofilms]

I don't know how that shitty entry by "BruceM" made it into the contest and yours didn't... I call blasphemy!

[Ozirah54]

Harrison, your talents and the talents of those you work with continue to amaze and please me. I share the bewilderment of the others about why this did not qualify. And Kris Thompson is surely the James Dean of our generation. His acting has a great range of power and intensity.

[BenMcEwan]

That was awesome! But how the hell did that have no choreography in it? I can't believe you were disqualified!!! Let's go kill ObiJuan and Sage =P

[wildwestoutlaws]

Very well done guys and great acting, the fistfighting was the best. keep it coming!

[bralen24]

Oh my gosh, nicely done boys. :)

[hattemaker]

This was really, really, REALLY good! :D I loved it, and the end was so believable, I nearly shed a tear ;) Great work, Harrison. Great work.

[tomellingsen]

Damn convincing fistfighting :) me like.

[YoshiPower65]

nice! I get really excited looking at these vids! they rock! ;) FIRST TO COMMET YAY! 5/5
