Since you are taking constructive criticism... There are WAY to many instances in the vid where one could have easily killed the other. Just watch it, and pick out all the places where one could have reasonably struck the other WITH THE SABER, and dident. Times when one would spin or duck, or manhanle the other one. If you can push their face into the wall, you can slash them with the saber, ect...
This is brilliant. I like the effects, the choreography, the location, nice choice in music. One thing I kept spotting that I personally have trouble with is having a massive grin :D but it's not an acting thing so just ignore that bit lol
i'm with arny. very original video, with very nice choreography. you execute some great combo sets, and that puts you apart from a lot of amateurs who just go around doing one or two strike sets.
i do agree with the footwork, but i also wanted to add in a bit on the guy with the orange lightsaber. he does a lot of one handed fighting, but doesn't seem to know what to do with his free hand. it flails around a lot, or just seems to be held in awkward positions. control is key. but great vid! :)
@ArnyTheChamp Thanks for a detailed comment, I'm currently planning the sequel and taking all this constructive criticism into mind when working on the choreography.
This is brilliant mate! I am editing my own lightsaber sequence at the moment and hope it ends up being half as good as yours. I have a few test videos on youtube so please feel free t comment and give any useful tips on how to improve. Cheers and good luck with the sequel!!!
Too slow, it needs to be more intense. it's not jst about hitting them together, it's a style all it's own. For every parry there's a block that fits that parry. So just keep working on it and get more creative!
can u please tell me the music??! btw really liked it good acting! i made on awhile back i think in 2006 so i sound like a little kid in it and the fight scene is pretty short but check it out! its under a channal called LinkMaster7 so thank you! =)
@michaelkay usually jedi with an orange saber denotes someone who barelly uses the force and relies on his (or her) physical strength and lightsaber mastery even more so than that of a Jedi Guardian (dark blue saber).Hahah anyway awesome job.
Dude smiling all the time, poor editing, lack of intensity to the fight. It looks like you guys are just trying to hit them together a lot. The goal in a saber fight is to be taking fatal swings, but blocking those fatal swings. You aren't going to hurt anything waving your lightsaber around in the air above your head.
It got a bit better towards the end, but then at the very last part, the last few moves are very, very slow and look bad. There isn't enough tenseness in the two of you, and there aren't any nice "oof!"s. Those actually add a lot to a movie.
It's mostly good, but, as is the problem with a lot of these videos, I think, is that many of the strikes are too slow, and just look kind of lazy instead of powerful, which kind of ruins the effect.
ok the coreography was not bad, but i dont like the fact you used toys, i made my props out of pvc pipes and electrical tape and they came out FUCKING AWSOME. but they are slightly heavy and hard to sue in combat granted pvc is geavy when it is long. still i like the graphics and im still trying to get the program or find someone willing to animate the things for me, if you have either reply, this is a request to all who can
that was awsome, so far the best i've seen, obvious you took a lot of time and effort making it. Very well put together, especially with the electrical panel and the consistancy of having it cut
Oh man! whenever I hear a lightsaber turning on I get chills! Awsm vid u guys, the only critisism would be to hold ur lightsaber a bit sturdier.. seemed like u r holding a feather at some points. Other than that this is great!
Very Good, but I am gonna go with Hospitaller on the Cheography, I ain't no superstar at it, but a bit more movement, and loosing you rbody abit, you would be golden.
Aaaaah. Very nice. The saber looks were a perfect 10/10, and the clash effects were a 10/10 also. The only thing I have to say is that the sound didnt quite match up with what was going on.
I commend the effects. The lightsaber glows and clashes are flawless. However, like most first time duelers, your form and choreography leave much to be desired.
Move your bodies more. Widen your steps, develop your footwork, present a lower center of gravity and more balance in your movements. Moreover, twist your torsos so it looks like you're putting real POWER behind your strokes.
All the strikes are aimed at the sabers, not at the opponent, the cutting definitely needs continuity work, having JUST saber sounds isn't enough, and for heaven's sake, don't SMILE when you're losing a saberlock. Oh, and when the green one got both sabers he practically GAVE the yellow one away.
You'd think with all the good effects music and time put into this, they could have went to old navy and bought a pair of black pants. No Jedi looks good in Jeans.
Speed it up a few frames per second, work on some moves and costumes and you have a quite worthy duel. (Also, are you missing the sound for when two lightsabers are held together? I believe there is a sound specifically for that.)
a lot of action going on, eh? too bad the kid in the grey shirt lost...he wasnt concentrating, man! he was like forcing himself not to smile half the time...: )
Only problem I had with this video was the fact that there were massive openings all the time, and the Jedi did nothing but aim for each others light sabre. If you're going to chareograph a fight, you should have it so that it actually looks like a fight.
You can't get the effects on websites, but you can get the software to make them. In the case of this video, the software was Adobe After Effects 7. There are plugins for AE, but those just make creating the effects easier, it doesn't do it for you.
If you want to do lightsabers easily, download a trial of After Effects (found on the Adobe website), and look for Andrew Kramer's Lightsaber preset plugin. Or you can use the Mask, Blur, and Colorize rotoscoping method for the sabers.
"Adobe After Effects 7" is the name of the software that was used to make the effects in the video.
You can go to ADOBE DOT COM and go to their products, and find the After Effects page. On this page, you can download a free trial version, or purchase the full version.
If you purchase it, you can either download, or have a disc sent to you. It might be found in some stores, but I'm not sure.
nice vid! a understand that you must have done those lightsaber effects on after fx by using ryan weiber's tutorial. I want that same effect but on photoshop. i noticed that the core seems blurrier than normal and the saber is a little fat. i like that effect and if you have any how to's on this that would be sweet.
Lol why no one praises star wars for their light saber. Well, im not saying that this isn't good. But Star Wars deserves some thumbs up as well
