I agree with ChristianJohnston1 the acting lacked passion. MacBeth was pretty pissed off by this point in the story, as was Mac Duff who hated Macbeth with every fiber of his being. But I have to say I was pretty impressed with the choreography. It was a little slow, but it flowed very well. If it were a bit more aggressive--damn, it would have been good. Oh and I thought the ignition of the lightsaber into Macbeth in order to kill him was brilliant.
The effects were good, and the fight choreography was okay, but being both a Shakespeare nerd and a theatre geek, the acting could have been tons better, and please, don't paraphrase Shakespeare. It loses all meaning and power!
Oh my god! I have to shwo this to my students now. I'm a huge Star Wars nerd and we're doing the Scottish Play in the theatre class I teach. For a first film and lightsaber duel, you guys did an extremely good job. I actually commented on the parallelism of Anakin to Macbeth today in class!
Just a tiny suggestion, if you ever do this again/revise the cut -- maybe Macbeth's saber ignition sound should be one of the ones from Return of the Jedi (the ones that sounded more like some sort of a flare or misfire, you know?). I always thought those sounds were a bit more sinister.
@BoredomCorner Actually, that was the one I wanted to use, but we never got around to finding that sound effect. I think we pulled most of ours out of one of the Jedi Knight games.
@JazzmanSA80 Yeah I recognized the pull and lightning sounds.
Though for future reference I think there's a brief but reasonably clean (ie. no music) version at the end of the speeder bike sequence in ROTJ. You'll have to cut it pretty tight but it's worth a try.
@BoredomCorner Hm, I'll check it out. Unfortunately, we're all in and out of college now and don't have time for this sort of thing anymore, but if we do, I'll put the advice to good use. Thank you!
@Blackbear2oo9 We did a 25 minute parody of the entire play- this is only the fight scene from the end. If you want to check out the entire movie, the link is at the bottom of this movie's description.
I think that it's awesome! It's ridiculous how you can do that. and i feel bad that i was like skeptical, i just wasn't sure what I was looking for. but now that i know you made it, like holy crap. you got skillz.
Great video, this was very well done. However, it seemed like you cut the ending a little short. The ending just seemed abrupt to me. Other than that, enjoyed it. :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not sure of the arrangement here, I think the original is much better. Geeky cunts. I spent that latter parts of school getting laid not doing shit like this
that was actuly prtty sweet, just kinda repetitv combos, you did that thing where you cross the blads down and then one of you comes around and knockes it back up alot, and hit harder, like the contact looked a little fake, ya gata actuly hit the guy a little.... thats just what i think tho. constructiv critisisum and what not
Well done guys, looks great, and good choreography. Just one thing ... "From my mother's womb untimely ... pricked ...?" Maybe I misheard it, and you really said "pluced" ??? lol :-)
i watched your entire video and i must say that i'm startled at how well it was. i'm in grade 11, and we've been planning our video for a while, we just go the actual assignment today, however. We thought we were being original by mixing star wars with macbeth, but i guess not :p Our goal will be to create a video that can parallel yours as far as quality goes in a short period of time. This video made my day! thank you!
thank you man u gave me a great idea 4 my englisch class video. Shure it's not going 2 be this(starwars, and not this seen... maby) but this is going 2 help. ty man
pretty good for something done in high school for a project. other than that i mean effects could have been better (like sparks when you hit the floor with a light saber) along with sounds for the punches and kicks, but other than that nice work!
For the first angle, yes (we had to shoot it probably 20 times to find one that looked believable). For the shot where he actually caught it, someone just threw it to him from off-camera.
Concept-wise, we were very happy with how the play parodied with Star Wars. As far as our execution, we are scrutinous of our work, but considering the time (very little) and resources (few to none) we had, we are satisfied with how it came out.
Okay. Looking at the whole video, you definitely deserve an A+ and some extra credit for that. Amateur, maybe, but it was very well-done for a rush job.
I am not sure if many people can pull off something like that as well in the time-restraint.
Very nice i loved it, If that teacher does not give you a good grade then im going to punch him XD. But that its a very nice video If i was your teacher i would give you an A+ XD nice job
after being hit full on with force lighting i don't think you would have the strength to lift up your lightsaber and then just suddenly deflect and hurl it back
Oh sweet Jesus, judging from your name I can tell you like Star Wars far too much, It's only meant to be taken lightly as an adaption of the play, and a very good adaption at that, not a new Star Wars movie, but Macbeth in the style of Star Wars. So kindly grow up
Thanks! It's a warehouse for a company that prints/embroiders uniforms. The place was full of boxes of Polos and shoes, but made for some great spots to shoot.
I did the play macbeth on wednesday and after that my brothers said the fight scene was just about as good as starwars (just thought I'd say that for the coincidence (the battles were NOT very good at all because we got the entire play done in two weeks)).
My biggest advice would be to PLAN AHEAD! Visualize every shot, and have everything choreographed as specifically as possible. Then, what we did is shoot the scene several times from different angles (only 1 camera) and then edited together the scene from various angles. Definitely dont do the whole scene from one angle- it will be stale and boring.
My second advice would be not to make any sacrifices in quality. Keep your standards high!
If you have any specific questions, please msg me!
I am a Star Wars Fan Film Critic. Choreography is cute. It looks as if you are aiming for the Lightsabers instead of each other. At 1:29 why didn't he just stab you with his lightsaber? And at 1:59 you would be knocked back several feet. Even if you wouldn't be knocked back you would be unable to move and would not be able to block the lightning. Star Wars Fan Film Critic
Wow, I just realized how similar the Revenge of teh Sith was to Macbeth..Especially the part where Anakin slaughters the Jedi at the temple and orders the clone troopers to carry out the assassinations, is like when Macbeth slaughtered Macduff's household and order other assassinations. Both Macbeth and Anakin were also blinded by their ambitions, and both had their wives die due to their emotions ( Padme due to sadness, and Lady Macbeth due to guilt, and ultimately sadness it comes with)
It's actually not a tough effect in terms of work compared to the lightsabers. We planned on making it happen, but we realized in post-production that we messed up the shot.
Much respect to you, Jazzman. I have no knowledge of SFX, and so it's interesting to hear that decapitations are relatively straighforward to pull off! The lightsabers are very convincing - it must have been great fun making this clip.
We had no SFX knowledge coming in to this project actually. We did a lot of research on it online in the weeks up to this. Anyone with a camera and a LOT of time can do it.
what happened at 2:50 i couldnt catch it..great job...love those light saber sound effects...u wouldnt by any chance know a website where i could watch the real macbeth, would you?
Thanks a lot. I've told a couple others about the beheading- we actually got quite good at the effect to do that in practice, but when we went to edit this actual footage, we realized that we messed up the shot we needed to make it happen, so we had to cut it (no pun intended).
dude i'm playing macbeth in a play at school. we're not paraphrasing, and we're not cutting anything. and we're fighting full on. so piss off. i can say it sucks because i've done this stuff and i'm better at it.
Oh my, aren't we the little elitist? Read a few of my comments on here friend- this is a parody. We threw this together for a project in a short time, and I'll be the first to tell you that the quality is low. Regardless, we got a good grade and had fun.
But GOOD LUCK with your little school play. You Macbeth folks like to get lots of good lucks before hand, right?
Elitist? I'm an actor of course I'm elitist! I missed the parody part, sorry 'bout that, and congrats on the good grade. "Good lucks?" Not really. Superstition is for idiots. Besides, how can the production go poorly? I'M THE LEAD.
i 'm not sure where you get the baby idea... but hey, i got carried away. i was kind of an ass with it, and hey, these guys put a lot of effort into it. not all of us have been doing theatre for several years, and i guess i was too harsh in that i expected something more polished than what time allowed. shall we drop it?
I don't get the point. It's not really Macduff vs Macbeth so much as two kids pretending to be Obi-wan and Anakin re-enacting that battle scene, with a few random lines of Shakespeare thrown in between.
The point was explained above, but I'll say it again: 12th grade english video project. You should take up reading, and then come back to the video summary written above. Also, there is actually a 30 minute movie that parodies the whole play, and the link is even written there.
great job! my english class has to reenact macbeth too. any tips? so far, listening to my own voice acting is like stabbing my ears with humiliation... so horrible i am.
I know the feeling- I was totally uncomfortable with acting, and even worse was actually watching it back. It's best to keep in mind that the person who is judging you most on it is yourself, and just do what you gotta do. Odds are that you are a lot better than you think!
We had this same assignment in my English 12 class. My group did this same scene but we did it in a kung-fu samurai theater style. We misaligned the audio, added grain, and filmed in sepia. For the beheading, just like you, our shot got messed up so we reflimed it with a head in a bag instead of my head. Should be up here soon. It was called Macbeth-san. Kudos on yours though. I liked it a lot.
this has too much prequel shit and not enough original shit

We had no SFX knowledge coming in to this project actually. We did a lot of research on it online in the weeks up to this. Anyone with a camera and a LOT of time can do it.
Thanks very much for the positive feedback!

what happened at 2:50 i couldnt catch it..great job...love those light saber sound effects...u wouldnt by any chance know a website where i could watch the real macbeth, would you?

What happened is that we screwed up and that was the best we could edit it together :)
I can't say that I know of a place on-line where you can watch the real Macbeth- sorry! Check your school or local library.

very nicely done. Great video editing with the sounds and the glowing lightsabers.
Our fight scene for our Macbeth project was very similar (and we even used the same song), but no lightsabers, just wooden swords :)
Overall, very good job.

Nice video, but the ending spoiled it a bit (why did Macbeth remain on his knees and die???). Still, a job well done.
4/5

That was a treat! Nice editing, I was anticipating the beheading at the end but it didnt happen.

Thanks a lot. I've told a couple others about the beheading- we actually got quite good at the effect to do that in practice, but when we went to edit this actual footage, we realized that we messed up the shot we needed to make it happen, so we had to cut it (no pun intended).

Aha, I love the video any ways, very clever

this is terrible. its not macbeth at all, its throwing in fake shakespeare lines that are paraphrased from the play, and the fight is horrible.

You are.
JazzmanSA80 4 years ago
dude i'm playing macbeth in a play at school. we're not paraphrasing, and we're not cutting anything. and we're fighting full on. so piss off. i can say it sucks because i've done this stuff and i'm better at it.
dwaswyf 4 years ago
Oh my, aren't we the little elitist? Read a few of my comments on here friend- this is a parody. We threw this together for a project in a short time, and I'll be the first to tell you that the quality is low. Regardless, we got a good grade and had fun.
But GOOD LUCK with your little school play. You Macbeth folks like to get lots of good lucks before hand, right?
Ta.
JazzmanSA80 4 years ago
Elitist? I'm an actor of course I'm elitist! I missed the parody part, sorry 'bout that, and congrats on the good grade. "Good lucks?" Not really. Superstition is for idiots. Besides, how can the production go poorly? I'M THE LEAD.

Ohhh, a little full of ourselves are we? You should look around you're school, I'm sure no one likes you because you're a cockey stuck up fucktard

I wasn't going to waste any more time responding to him, but I think you said it pretty well haha. :D
JazzmanSA80 4 years ago
where did you come from? so what if i'm full of myself? the video was cool, but it missed parts that are crucial to the story.
and learn to spell assclown. "cocky" has no "e" in it.
and i'm actually pretty well liked at my school.

stop being a baby and take it like a man
Nic3Buxton 4 years ago
i 'm not sure where you get the baby idea... but hey, i got carried away. i was kind of an ass with it, and hey, these guys put a lot of effort into it. not all of us have been doing theatre for several years, and i guess i was too harsh in that i expected something more polished than what time allowed. shall we drop it?
dwaswyf 4 years ago
I can live with that one

I don't get the point. It's not really Macduff vs Macbeth so much as two kids pretending to be Obi-wan and Anakin re-enacting that battle scene, with a few random lines of Shakespeare thrown in between.

The point was explained above, but I'll say it again: 12th grade english video project. You should take up reading, and then come back to the video summary written above. Also, there is actually a 30 minute movie that parodies the whole play, and the link is even written there.
JazzmanSA80 4 years ago
great job! my english class has to reenact macbeth too. any tips? so far, listening to my own voice acting is like stabbing my ears with humiliation... so horrible i am.
kamikrazi123 4 years ago
I know the feeling- I was totally uncomfortable with acting, and even worse was actually watching it back. It's best to keep in mind that the person who is judging you most on it is yourself, and just do what you gotta do. Odds are that you are a lot better than you think!
JazzmanSA80 4 years ago
We had this same assignment in my English 12 class. My group did this same scene but we did it in a kung-fu samurai theater style. We misaligned the audio, added grain, and filmed in sepia. For the beheading, just like you, our shot got messed up so we reflimed it with a head in a bag instead of my head. Should be up here soon. It was called Macbeth-san. Kudos on yours though. I liked it a lot.
