Duel of the Seminarians

[buddyharmonica]

I enjoyed the video. Good work Jeff & Mike. Mike I also enjoyed your video on the Audio Technica 3350 mic and order one today. What kind of camcorder do you use? Best wishes

[1614emily]

Michael Grosch is one if the new priests at my parish this year and when he told me about this video and how much younger he looks in it i just had to watch!

[guinafred]

haha this so cool because Micheal Grosch is one of the priests at my parish now, he looks so much younger.

[Ncode3]

wow, how did u create that lightsaber effect, very2 nice. Looks like the movie's effect itself

[Ovrlast7]

OMG xD

[nashsclay]

I think at the end of the video there should be a Mace Windu reenactment. I think it's tall enough up there. Awesome video! Keep striving to be good men. The church and world need you!

[1993wethebest]

are these tow people realy studying to become priest?????? wat has the catholic world come to :(

[repka17]

@1993wethebest You know priests are allowed to have fun right?

[repka17]

[geerlingguy]

Heh... I'm sure he'll be happy about that!

[vampire943]

[moishglukovsky]

Gives a whole new meaning to 'nerd.'

[carlasue88]

YES! sweet.

[cheesemonkey1990]

So this is what it's like being a seminarian, I can't wait.

[geerlingguy]

Yep! Jedi skills come in the second year.

[cheesemonkey1990]

sweet! btw: Saw the extended version with the ninja and crusader, funny stuff. I will be going to IHM (Immaculate Heart of Mary) college seminary in Wanoa MN. in about a year or so. God love you!

[jakedasnake1000]

LOL we watched this video at my Grade School

[STLPILOT9]

[BillDavidShow]

Sweet Feathery Jesus - That was AWESOME!

[LaRoza77]

I see you left out the paternal declaration, fitting for a seminarian :)

Very good short.

[CygnusX191]

horray for more random kids with lightsabers and photoshop 101!

[SigmaStudioz]

I have been into that seminary many times. It is a great pleasure to learn how those men live. Geerlingguy, I think i met you once. St. mark's 7th graders visited and saw the film. We ran into you, but only talked for a second.

[idkmybffjill36]

OMYGOSh the "evil" guy is the new seminarian at my church!!

[geerlingguy]

Yikes - don't be too afraid though - he only uses his Jedi powers against other Seminarians.

[SisterAllie35]

So kewl. : D

[bubblygal26]

being a girl, i could only go on Christ Power... it was Life Changing!!!

[durkathing88]

Very inspired.

[Frankencow]

Remember, those who live by the lightsaber shall die by the lightsaber. ;-)

[geerlingguy]

At least it seems to be a 'clean' sort of death... since the saber automatically seals the wound, there isn't a bloody mess to clean up.

[vballbabii]

hey ed!

nice video!

[planetar4564]

Basically, awesome.

[geerlingguy]

Thanks!

[00xzerox00]

I'm going there in May on a field trip! My Catechetics teacher is from that seminary.

By the way, awesome vid. I love the random flying objects, especially the trash can.

I think all seminarians and priests should take Jedi training.That would be cool.

[geerlingguy]

Hmm... right now Jedi training is an elective. Maybe it should be mandatory?

[mikafreak92]

haha this is so cool! all the kids on the sem have lightsaber fights all the time 2!

me and joel and ben and sabrina and anna and louis and caleb and eric!!!!!! oo wait i4got seth and zach and ryan....and.....ahhhhhh good times

[monerymen1212]

it was ok it could had been beter lol and i am saying this to priest

[monerymen1212]

jk i couldnt do beter

[howardj123]

Great video

[mcownalot]

My teacher is in the same seminary as this one on the vid.

[20oracleprophecy]

who's your teacher?

[SpartanNick255]

lol the trash can,books and stuff were hitting him HILARIOUS.But who through something at 1:17?

[geerlingguy]

Ed used the force to throw a baseball glove (that just so happened to be laying on the ground) at the door opening switch.

[attic4567]

he used the force to brake the cable to the door. basicaly grabed something with the force while looking at the other guy.....

[DREAMGIRL4VER]

i know one of the guys in this video!!! his name is deacon ed and he is hilarious in real life too!!!

[maryjosepharose]

That was a great way for young people to see the inside of a the St. Louis seminary and fun to watch too. May God bless.

[papoh]

Great job guys, a lot of hard work there!

[ro2ma]

why don't my priests fight with light sabers??

[geerlingguy]

I think Kenrick-Glennon Seminary is the only one (so far) that offers basic Jedi training ;-)

[kelleno]

hey ed im from st joes 7th grader kellen ya pretty sweet acting job VERRY NICE

[loveinhalo3]

it would have been even cooler if it had a winer like when somebody dies

[dharmafriend]

Stick to Praying guys, Tom Cruse and Arto-de-to you are not!

Love all ways DFT

[aybaybay222]

hi Ed! i kno u!! bye!

[Cutiebaby718]

my brother is a seminarian and he told me about this - HILARIOUS!!!!!hahaha

[dannyboythegreat]

Amazing! Would have been cooler in cassocks though :-p

[geerlingguy]

The problem with doing it in cassocks was the heat; it was the middle of summer, and it was in the 90s. To shoot for three hours, most of the time in non-cooled areas and outdoors, would've made for a lot less activity (and a lot less fun).

[dannyboythegreat]

True, but you must admit, it would have been a lot more awesome to watch :-p But really, this video made my day! Kenrick-Glennon Seminary rocks!

[crashgrl101]

lol hilarious!

[crashgrl101]

hey i noe Ed...hey Ed!

[petermottola]

If YouTube is any indication, we're going to have some hilarious priests in the near future.

[L0STinNARNIA]

hey, I've been here, and i know Ed! hi Ed!

[elmdia]

You guys looked like you had a lot of fun! :-)

[shaunnyboi89]

Serious poltergeist activity here, you would of thought they would have called an exorcist ;p

[herlo9]

it nots a bad video.i was at the camp wen they made it we were the 1st to see it

[GalacticQuest]

Nice.

[angelpddm]

After seeing this video, here is my modified version of the prayer which we pray in community for more vocations! "O Jesus Eternal Shepherd of our souls...send more light-saber wielding labourers into your vineyard!" Well done! I love this video, God gave us the gift of creative fantasy to use for Him too! Though I still propose a duel....you've seen the kung-fu video, haven't you? ( : Just kidding! Keep us in the prayers as I do all you guys there!

[geerlingguy]

We will - thank you!

[ushineon4me]

"light saber wielding laborers"?? haha that is awesome!

[Beccadancer17]

Wow that video was awesome!! I guess that's what I have to look forward to when I start seminary in the fall-- or is just the Catholics who get to play with light sabers??!! :)

[geerlingguy]

I don't know even all the Catholics get lightsabers. There are only a few in existence that I know of...

[BALLLLLLLLLLLLER]

That was totally awesome I loved that when I saw it at camp. Well I'll see you there this summer. KGD '07 can't wait. Whose the director for it this year?

[geerlingguy]

You'll find out shortly.... sorry, but I can't tell you yet. I can tell you one thing, though: swords and ninjas.

[impboy77]

Can I please have my 5:36 minutes of my life back?

[geerlingguy]

Nope - sorry ;-)

[AKNIGHTMARE]

excelent video guys

[geerlingguy]

Thank you!

[Zeromark]

What you guys should do is have a lightsaber duel between the seminarians and the Theology majors at SLU. :P

(Tell Mike that Pete Barron says Hi)

[geerlingguy]

Will do. You guys have your own lightsabers, or should we bring you our extras?

[BrotherBurn]

Our future priests are funny but so-so actors LOL! Did you get those sabers from St Michael's arsenal?

[geerlingguy]

St. Michael told us we couldn't use his... he told us to make them on our own.

[chariotharris]

Great editing! Great director. Who directed it!

[Lumpunzik1]

So does this mean that when I go to kenrick in a couple of year Ed is going to chop my head off with his lightsaber?

[geerlingguy]

Hopefully, no... but, um, why do you ask?

[iamcool023]

i loved this when i went to the camp. 5/5!

[Bundeskaiser]

60% of this video are running and talking. ;-) At the end I'm missing a final attack like Windu's before he died. But it's a good alternative. Mysterious cutting of music ;-). 3/5

[kendirksen]

That was kinda cool. But pretty corny.

[sfowatcher]

Great job guys! Greetings from a former seminarian.

[RyanDunsSJ]

Well done! Very entertaining.

[clg01]

That's a pretty cool video.

[TheGayBackstreetBoy]

They don't look like Seminarians, they just look like nerds (trust me, i am one, i should know!!)

[geerlingguy]

Seminarians can be nerds, too ;-)

[fonolog]

Fantastic! God bless you!

[flippinrock]

My prayer group and I will pray for more awesome priests.

[geerlingguy]

Thanks, flippinrock! We really appreciate all your prayers, and we hope to serve the next generation of Catholics as well as we can!

[jsignal]

Excellent!

[bblgum]

I loved it!
