A Gentlemen's Duel - Vancouver Film School (VFS)

[papercotton]

compared to the original, the intro music here is better (my opinion)

this is the original. see for yourself on vimeo (22427103)

[wolfie333]

Lol, there were a lot of missing scenes from the original.

[lordguy5]

Wait there was a scene missing with the eels

[devon00789]

And a man who witnessed the glorious fight said to his fiance "Those people in Japan would get a kick out of this!"

[Hikarizu1]

After the 3:30 the robots switched places.

[vincent0991]

I swear there is like 10 - 20 people that surf youtube find the coolest videos and dislike them just because they can

[POAGeckos]

@vincent0991 Very much agree



[thejameskan]

Very enjoyable thank you

[peetyq314]

It is part of a short film dcs..and I can't stop watching it

[peetyq314]

I love it

[symphonyofblades]

The animation is well done, the humor is well placed and exemplary but the editing seems to be in shambles and caused me, personally, to lose interest and become confused as to the conclusion, a very important part of any story.

[ThefamousZozo]

Another channel uploaded the same video in worse quality, calling it Steampunk duel, and they got nearly double that many views.

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@ThefamousZozo Thanks for the the heads up. For the record, the visual elements were provided by Blur Studio, as this was a Sound Design project. VFS did not create the animation.

[Lillfot]

Why is this version so heavily cut? It is missing at least two minutes of footage.

[cowbomber]

is it me or did they switch places after the throw?

[akiliase]

lol mecha scene is from gankutsuko:count of monte cristo.

[mrfondlemymoose]

That was the best video I ever accidentally,clicked on ever :) who ever made this is a babe

[sladikk]

This is how all conflicts should be resolved

[badawyelghad]

hehehe ,, good one :)

[Nightwatch177]

OMG I died laughing at the frogs in the beginning!

[bluffer8]

Great animation and great humor :)

[MisguidedTerran]

Longer, more coherent version here!

watch?v=FXET1kvEOAY&feature=s­­potlight

[MisguidedTerran]

Wait a second... THIS CAN'T BE THE REAL VERSION!

The one I saw used an electric eel with the attacks, had a far better beginning to the duel, and was far more subtle... granted this was long ago, but I remember the real version,. where is that?!?

[GhillieMadness]

Why did the french guy and the english guy switch places after he was thrown at the house?

[Snowmanfree]

exelente animacion! (Y)

[blackgold161]

ANYONE GOT A TWITTER  KingDavidII

follow me i guess

[des1ayer]

did they die?

[jussmessinwicha]

The battle was a Jules Verne steampunk WIN.

But the storyline was a bust.

[yaredude2]

for soem reason this reminded me of fable 3.....

[Fawkes002]

whats up with high quality 3d animations and really bad video quality on youtube?

[zombie3nadia]

Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations?

WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube riot.

Thumbs up to kep at top

[whorepresentsyou1123]

@zombie3nadia No one cares.

[Satanmage]

that ninja butler should get a raise.

[stupord]

[polletheskald]

I have seen a longer version of this video, did he do the sound for that as well?

[332674hoa]

Did anyone notice that the robots switched places after the french robot got thrown and slammed against the castle??

[VitaNuovaRevolution]

I expected more sound from teh robots. :p

[xdafdafx]

this short movie is so great and the sound design is very nice

Bravo :)

[TheSlinkyGuyShow]

Hold up, I'm sure there was another video where the accents where different?

[man0204]

btwmake more! this was just awesome!

[man0204]

btw make more this was just awesome!

[man0204]

i wish i had one of those armours

[gnamp]

9/10 for the animation - 2/10 for the humour.

[moya191]

omg i think this is so funny!

[cyrus364]

I'd say pretty good.

[DusterPanCake]

The student made the sound effect to the video, right?

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@DusterPanCake That's correct. The video itself was provided by Blur Studios and our student created an original soundscape as a part of their final project.

[DusterPanCake]

@VancouverFilmSchool one of the most important parts! Souncscape! Your videos are amazing! keep it up VFS, hope i once get to the same level!

[Tamashikiri]

Best animated short EVER!

[Fathergryndl]

BRAVO!!!

[Cobalt3924]

4:03

Is it just me, or did that bird just crap itself?

[sskl123]

Great sound.

[mangaassasin]

the full fight is avalable on itunes

[Rospandan]

halfway through i thought..."that waiter is the real gentleman"...and then he got the girl...it would have been fun if he were gay lol XD but this was fun too

[rockindglobe]

wow.....this is hilarious.......loved the idea nd story most importantly the animation.......!!

[rohitvip]

2:40 - huh? machines? oh so this is a parallel world thingy! hehe

[MrRunebeast]

lol this was damn good

[WbDuBbIe]

This made me LOL, man this a great video.

[wraithtaker1]

Why is it that everything awesome is made either in Vancouver or Japan?

[bushputz]

It's always the same story - the butler did it...

[KalakLanar]

Original source movie had almost 3 minutes of footage cut out, so stop complaining about the continuity. It's for sound design, so there are going to be issues when you cut something down like this. This is why the robot switch. You want the full movie, follow the link and buy it.

[JibsStudios]

Nobody wins with the headbutt.

[SolalChabauty]

That's why I unsubbed to VFS a long long time ago...

Mechs changed of places between 3:29 and 3:46 ! And damn... You can't even take a real french to cover the character ??

I'm amazed by the fact that americans aren't able to make a real good french accent while we, frenchies, are able to do a perfect deep texas countryside accent, as well as a bad frenglish accent ^^ !

[cheesybubbleslook]

@SolalChabauty Yes, of course, because we all know that all 300 million of us are exactly the same.

[SolalChabauty]

@cheesybubbleslook Haha LOL I'm just saying XD ! I actualy never saw (I'm not completele sure) an american, from america and evolving in america, speaking french with a perfect accent.

...But you know it's a question of phonotic, I had the chance (or not, I mean it was damn bothering at school ^^) to learn the most difficult and most diversified language in the world. Apparently.

So I have all the phonetic basics to speak any language with an average-very good accent.

[SolalChabauty]

@cheesybubbleslook ...And the americans and english dont have all this diversification in their language. English is very simplified in terms of phonetics.

It's like spanish, it's a very particular language with specific sounds. I have a spanish grand ma and she still has a lil accent, while she knows french since 50 or 40 years you know.

Anyway, I'm just saying. I'm sure I will meet an english person with a perfect french accent. One day. May be. LOL

[bigdollars]

@SolalChabauty I'm thinking you're taking this way too seriously. Obviously the french character's voice was meant to be a mock, exaggerated french accent, just as a cartoonist would exaggerate facial features when drawing a caricature of a person. And if you read my other comment, the change of places between 3:29 and 3:46 is due to the student editing the original animation himself to avoid having to do a longer final piece. Keep in mind that this piece showcases AUDIO, and not animation

[SolalChabauty]

@bigdollars Okay.

...So, the editing is even shittier though ? Héhé I'm just saying.

[foildagin]

Wonderful. Excellent work!

[steelcansrock]

Grey robot looks like a Big Daddy from Bioshock...

[hazmechannel]

This video have a big mistake, check the lapse time 3:30 to 3:50,

originally the robot "white" was crashed in the building, but after this

sequence, looks like was be the gray robot, thats not correct, after that, the robots are in the wrong place..... What a shame.

Buena Vibra!

[nkr10]

@hazmechannel You are right, I don't know how the hell that happened :S they must notice that

[paladinx829]

if i had a chance to make a steampunk mech...

5 times larger and mabye emp weaponry like blast knuckles that would be epic

[EmperorOfMars]

3:29 - 3:46

dude they changed places

[willlovesmith]

@EmperorOfMars Woah you're right!

[rohitvip]

@EmperorOfMars hey you're right!

[cyrus364]

@EmperorOfMars omg i know right INCEPTION XD

[matthewslankard]

Yea, the grey robot threw the white robot into the building, but when the cut back the grey robot is the one thats running from the building,.

[japanmandan]

the editor needs to look at this one more time. other than that it was good.

[Fernandomielli]

always great!!

[joeespinosa1]

2D animators disliked 4 times

[kpqj]

This is MADE of WIN and AWESOME!

[RHYTHM789]

boobies...lol

[ArtemusCain666]

I'm not really comfortable with Bioshock's new direction...

[mouserorignal]

very well done

[AkutomiNamikaze]

The editing choices made by this guy are awful! The original was much more fluent.

[PomeiLione]

Why... did the they switch places. And why did they loose their arms? *confused*

Other than that this is fantastic. The mechs were unexpected and fun! Lol.

[Xaio30]

It has mechs. It's win.

[mrneccos]

COMIC GENIUS !!!! XD-~~~!!!!!!

[rebalth]

Wow this video screamed epic win.

[Wilwarin]

As a fan of indie films, animation, and steampunk, this is the most amazing thing ever! Solid humor all the way through. Great job with this. :)

[tylersnard]

Love it.

[Chrisseries2]

is it just me.. or does the frenchies mech look like it has a frogs head? >.<

[UnableToGiveADam]

my video directing teacher showed this to the class, i thought it was brilliant

[amoneymoney]

Thumbs up if this reminds you of Xenogears.

[AgainPolliwog]

This is great except for one thing. I don't know if this has been pointed out before, but wasn't it the french guy who got thrown into the building? When they run towards each other after that, the british robot is running from the place were the frenchman just got up. Other than that though, this is an amazing short worthy alot more views than it has now.

[Mighty1Bob]

@AgainPolliwog thank you!

i noticed it too, and it totally threw me off! how the two of them switched places when the english man threw the french man at the building, but otherwise a great short!

[D364000]

@AgainPolliwog well i think i figured out why they switched places its because some of the video must have been cut out because while they were running towards each other after the switch they both had no arms

[BuddaKlovn]

I see two Big Daddy's fighting?

[Psychlist1972]

The Marquis sounds just like watto

[hagelbraker]

Utmost excellence.

[nanookthecrazyskulla]

3:45 i thought the white and gold one was thrown into the building, not the grey one.

[Psychlist1972]

@nanookthecrazyskulla good catch!

[pixer07]

at that distance from the explosion, sound should've been delayed 1 or 2 seconds

[hankfletcher]

Sorry to spoil the ending, but the butler did it!

[altfuns]

Steampunk FTW!

[bajer111]

af that doesnt give him an A, I cant imagine what will.

[Antaril]

Has this been cut up? I distinctly remember the use of electric eels. :S

[zeger88]

how the fuck did the French dude and the English lad switch places at 3:40, have i missed something?

[YaoMingbaby]

@zeger88 same.

[gsruler]

@zeger88 noticed that too

[uoweme5grand]

@zeger88 yea i noticed that too

[plackonteeth]

GO STEAMPUNKS!

[JoaquimGomesCaldeira]

hey i had seen a different final!

[Vendetti]

"Fifi says he can smell the fear,... in your pants."

[noeoso]

A - M - A - Z - I - N - G

[OkamiThunder]

does anyone notice how they both switch places after the french guy is thrown into the house and then appears to have thrown the english man when the english man threw him.

[lebello]

@OkamiThunder no the English man thew him.. it doesn't appear any other way o.O

[crysisguy05]

i sure would like to do her a favour

[McAnakin]

very funny! i like it!

[devdaron]

lol

[xaperfecttoolx]

hahahahaha gotta love the french.

[barokubc]

énorme faux raccord a 3:45, les combattants ont échangés leur place?!!

[soopasnowman]

a truly spectacular piece of work

[Ashulaces]

Oh my lord! That was astounding!

[krystelAhKye]

Such a nice piece of work!

[bigdollars]

@XRubberX Patrick Biason edited the video and cut some scenes from the original blur animation before working on the piece's sound design.

[bigdollars]

To everyone who noticed the mixup of the robots after the fall:

The original animation has a fight scene that is much longer than this. This version has been edited as it is meant to showcase the sound design, not the student's video editing skills.

[mangaassasin]

@bigdollars is there anywhere we can see the full thing

[carrotNOTwaffle]

@mangaassasin well it says in the beginning the original was from blur studios, so maybe you have to buy it online from them or something. or, maybe they have it up somewhere else on youtube.

[checkitoutnow1991]

@bigdollars where is the original animation?

[SanyaMae]

Probably the best animation on here in a while. AWESOME!

[Mastif666]

wonderfull

[guillOM13]

Très bon travail, légal voir mieux que les studio Pixar

[riroo22]

the white robot gets thrown into the building but in the next scene he's all the way across the garden. lol.

[Nightxp]

@riroo22 i noticed this too but still since this piece was about the sounds and music it was pretty good.

[jelizarovas]

@riroo22 yeah, they fixed the sound but not the mistakes :D

[gizm11]

upload in 720 p plz

[rickpoonhk]

Awesome!!

[27Soulfly]

NICE!!!

[farflungfloyd]

Boobs! Sorry, that's all I can think. Great sound design. Not overwhelming...

[medusa7]

magnifique !

[Mucinsh]

really a great work

[spacecowboy5000]

Yup. The butler did it.

[CloudyChan]

this is brilliant!

[taerdrops]

LOL. Awesome!

[stoveluck]

great job with the sound!

[MarchandVenter]

after watching it a second time i still love it but i think u messed up, the wrong mech by the wall that got smashed by the other mech.

[AzerathAngelWolf]

Voice acting wasn't my favorite, but the duel was awesome.

[IkkyBooger]

This is by far the best computer animation I've seen come out of this school. This is truly movie quality.

[mariotaz]

Haha awesome.

Boobies and news a Shoryuken!

Great animation guys

[AdaTo88]

Continuity error at one point when the position of the robots switch after one being thrown into the building.

Other than that very nicely done.

[Juangaz21]

sorry for my bad english, but there are a racord fail beetwen 3:30 and 3:42 with the robots position, anyhow it´s a great animation

[BambooCVIL]

@Juangaz21 i noticed that too.

[microphonejones]

quality great, ending not for kids.

[Jostanos]

XD I love it! Two suitors going at it with Steam powered mechs and neither getting the prize! Favorited to be sure!

[RidgeRacerLord]

@XRubberX if you read the beginning, it said that this was a short example of the students work.

[MassZombicide]

That floozy

[Bluedrake42]

This is old... I saw this a long time ago

[dAMike2468]

Oh my god. This was fucking brilliant.

[umbalaba]

Ha ha good fun it was!

I love the visual look and the steam punk theme!

[goranification]

your bubis, Eh! I mean buty, :D

[ReekyRomy]

Very Nicee heheheh Good job

[BlueInfernoPro]

not bad. I can see this as a Disney movie. course without the whole butler getting the girl part. lol

[Hreinn91]

It's always the butler
