RvD2 - FAQs (Part 5)

[wolv20996]

you guys should make rvd3 plzzzzzzzz we are all begging you(everyone that watches your guys vids)

[treutech]

2007 to 2011 i think your talents have improved, you should start making RvD3 after Travis premiers Nine in the Evening

[364dragonrider]

very informative, if you guys ever feel that you're getting too old for the duels(and if you are anything like my grandfather you will), give me a call (not to say you're getting old, you're in like what? your 20s now? but everyone get's old eventually)

[MrEffectfilms]

Very informative guys. I totally agree about the film school thing, it's just not needed anymore. Filmmaking ( like any other art form) isn't something you need to go to school for. So many talented artists (filmmakers included) have been self taught. And I personally think that's the best way to learn art, on your own.

[KatideChaos]

I plan on making music professionally, and I've been debating whether I should go to college to do so. So far, I'm thinking it'd be a waste of time with all the money I could e investing in first-hand experience. Thanks for the insight guys! And best of luck to you both. Thanks.

[Thefatbatman88]

Rvd3 or rvb3??????

[GuitarHeroRocks99]

So will RvD3 come out BEFORE the world ends next year?

[DarKKnightt07]

wow those 2 look so much different from the first movie, i see time has taken a toll on you my young jedi's

[Popstarbj]

A muito tempo vejo o video de vcs...nao existe melhor sem ser o proprio star wars...

vcs são do karalho, acho que deveriam colocar um tuto sobre como foi feito os efeitos, pq nao achei tutorial q o lightsaber seja tão realista quanto de vcs... vlw mesmo

ps: sorry não escrever em ingles mas to com preguiça e meu ingles está fraco

AHUHAuaHuaH

vlw

[Church96]

make a ryan vs dorkman vs brandon! D=

[outsider903]

Ryan vs Dorkman rules!

[bouchandre]

when you made rvd2, no one (or almost) was expecting it. Now, everyone is expecting rvd3 so I sure that you would have an even larger audience!

[TheBlaziken437]

when you worked at lucasarts, what other games did you work on?

[DigiC20NE]

wow i might be 17 in 4 years

[nezuliTorch]

you might be?

[Mw2ReSpawN]

@DigiC20NE might?

[DigiC20NE]

@Mw2ReSpawN i might what

[FreshMoment]

since RVD2 its going to be three years in 2010 its almost here

[rkelley2012]

as for RVD3, they need a chase scene. something new + exciting.

[1011Ev]

Hey did you use after effects?

If not what did you use?

Plus what is your website?

Thanks  -1011ev-

[LiamJusticeFilms]

they used after effects for the lightsabers and the cutting off of hands

final cut pro for the general editing

[1011Ev]

Hey did you use after effects?

If not what did you use?

Plus what is your website?

Thanks  -1011ev-

[Vdeogamer]

Number 3?!

[TheRedStone]

ive seen all the faqs... and im very inspired dorkman and wieber.... its a major help... ima try to make a few movies my self but i hope i dont flunk totally lol well peace

[AncientPiece]

thanks for the part 2 i really learned a lot from the lecture.

[Syanyde15]

The thing about all this "Use of the Force", and I'm just saying this with absolutely no knowledge of how this movie stuff works, is that it takes a lot of work, I'm guessing, to make those effects look good. I don't think they're trying to focus on that, but on the lightsaber dueling itself, which (In my opinion) is exactly what they should be doing.

[TheDevilsMagician]

How much would u charge to work on my film?

[isaiahthomas45678]

i thought about making a movie on a murder based on a true storie its going to take me a while because i have to get like 50$ to get this one editing sofeware to make it because the widoews movie maker wont work for the editing i need to do. if you guys have any tips or anything message me or comment me. if you have any idea send me a video on your idea and if i use your idea i'll put you in the credits in the movie.

[MoMuiTV]

I have watched both rvd's and all five of these faq's' I can't really say that you inspired me to do visual effects in the first place but you have inspired me to keep doing visual effects and keep trying, riqht now I am currently on the beginners level, but I keep improving.

[freelancer114]

I've Sat and watched all 5Videos and i'm very intrested and inspired to work more on making videos.

Big Thanks

From UK

[pandumproductions]

I know the feeling =] I'm working on the same stuff now

[cRzyPhenix777]

You guys should try using slo mo for ONLY a few parts. We definetly dont want that whole slo mo crap from 300, but using slo mo to emphasize some epic parts would be badass.

[haha2341]

Make ryan win and then Flyt comes to fight, they fight and both die? Make more use of the force and use saber throw move which would be really cool.

[jeevesosiris]

Really enjoyed these Q&A's. You both seem very genuin and class guys. Hope you both continue to pursue your love of film and effects.

[Dardomini]

ehi guys, where can i found the sound of lightsaber? Thanks

[bboystatus92]

yeah use the force more like lightining, force push and force grip....also you can get some ideas from the game star wars: the force unleashed

[Deathborn2048]

How about using the Force to fly?

[Leongkm2]

here's an idea. Rapid fire force pushes. or force lighting grenades. or have that infamous sith scream tossed in. maybe have one part of the fight dedicated to an all out force power battle.

see your next RVD in 2011! sooner if you can manage.

[DarkKnight82]

Add another person. Make it a 3-way fight. That'll work.

[gochisox4696]

How did you guys do the force pull at about 4:40 in Ryan vs Dorkman 2?

[ujeff]

Are you two brothers or just frends

[MoviesMan8]

I have a question.

How did you make the light saber float and move?

[JSaint707]

They used fishing line for when it was moving along the ground, and after effects has a 3D modeler which I'm guessing they used to make the floating lightsaber.

[MoviesMan8]

thanks

[uberninjapirate]

RvD3!!! WHOOOO!!!

[fpbologna]

then make RvD2 again, with a new location and force lightening:)

[trae902]

okay dorkman, you said you offer advice so i ask which is the best software to use for your lightsaber techs? and which do you use.

[bvrgaeriay]

he said he used adobe after affects in faq 4

[ArnyTheChamp]

Ryan and Dorkman should find Ray Park and make a 2 vs 1 against him. How sick would that be?

[JSaint707]

They actually worked with him on another film. They could pull that off.

[cRzyPhenix777]

That would make me jizz, piss, and shyt my pants 7 times in the same hour O.O

[XerosXIII]

wow, these guys really into the interview =P

did anyone notice they were interviewed from daylight to night? XD the windows got dimmer and dimmer from part 1 to 5 XD

[tiduspapercut666]

actually i did, lol

[bluezone93]

wht did u work on for KOTOR I&II i.e. visual effects or voice

[firstlk420]

i like these films and respect their time and effot, but dorkman sounds like a undiscovered Kevin Smith. In the sense he talks like a guidence counsler who pats himself on the back a little too much. Someones a little to knowing about everything related to film.lol

[554466551]

If you want to be taken seriously as a filmmaker you gotta walk the walk and talk the talk. Coming across as unprofessional and indirect isn't going to open any doors for him.

[firstlk420]

those are just words that dismiss his ability to empathise. Good try though.

[jedifriki]

Phrik and Cortosis can resist lightsabers.

[AirsoftComrade]

And beskar(mandalorian iron) is almost completley lightsaber proof.

Thats why the mandalorians where such tuff opponents for the jedi during the mandalorian wars

[invertin]

@Masonhosey: I agree with an armor that can resist or block lightsabers, but an armor MADE of lightsabers would probably turn you into confetti. If a single bit came loose... SLASH

Or if you move too quickly.. SLASH

Just get an energy shield. Much safer.

[limdul]

Man! Your answers were awesome! I enjoyed them as much as the films themselves. ^^

You sound like very, very mature film professionals and you're still young after all. ^^

[travsrms]

hey, why dont you make a video using some of the force abilities from the force unleashed video game

[masonhosey]

could the dweebs from the star wars universe make some sort of armor from light saber material.. since a light saber is the only thing that can block another light saber, I think having a suit made from a bunch of small light sabers covering your body would be smart..

[hangtime41]

you know I think the armor that Boba Fett wears can deflect lightsaber blows.

[Syntax124]

Boba Fetts armor resists lightsabers, not deflects. Mandalorian Armor is very hard to make and made of rare extreme-heat resistant metals. Also his neck isn't protected by said armor, which is how Mace Windu was able to decapitate Jango in the 2nd movie.

[jjppmm29]

a magnetic serface can deflect a lightsaber because a light saber uses a plasma blade and plasma can be controled with magnetic waves and forces so if you take tungsten carbide and mix in iorn with copper inner coil it would completely protect you from any lightsaber blows the only problem is protecting your joints

[JSaint707]

The mighty and washed up George Lucas clearly didn't think of that as he was writing the award winning scripts for the prequels. His thoughts were more... "HMMM, how can I piss off every fan I've ever had?  I know, Jar Jar!"

[Littledude514]

Jar Jar wasn't THAT bad!! I think he just threw him in to add some humor to the movie. He's done it with the other films with some characrer. NO director can resist sliding in some humor into their film(s).

[JSaint707]

Paul Greengrass (Bourne films) can resist the humor urge. Some of the best action movies of all time don't have characters of comic relief, and the ones that do are at least well written. Braveheart and Lord of the Rings come to mind. Jar Jar was just a poorly designed character. Deep Breath. OK, I'm going to bed.

[ckd04]

ok I got a quetion. In one of these vids you said the camera got hit. how scared were you initialy tha it had been damaged.

[ares540]

thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences

[Batchicken12125]

Dorkman... i could make a porno and my mom would tell me its a blockbuster!

[ckd04]

not my mom she would she I could have made her favorite movie and she would tell me it was shit when she found out I made it.

[aidtube95]

do you belive in jedi as a religon?

[zekedatube]

you guys rock!!!!!

[CptReed]

did he say he is working for stargate?? like sg1?

[pertainedorangeman]

if u guys need ideas maybe u could include more force powers or other force skills, choke, lighting, etc...

[Krzychu921]

Dark Jacob vs Dark Chris look it !!

[bakuganman879]

how does dorkman get survived?

[bakuganman879]

i ment revived

[MoonrayDrake]

It's the force..dah X)

[Mon732]

Maybe the ryan clone missed his heart? Dunno it just looks a bit low to me. :/

[gboy193]

my personal opinion, but itd be awesome if there were three people fighting each other in RvD3.

[Inuyashapaladin717]

Ryan, Dorkman, and Brandon....

THAT would be awesome.

[army59comdemption]

did you guys take wepones traning

[Mattiguy91]

go back to FAQ 4...they answer that question

[JASAssassin]

wait, did i hear that ryan worked at lucas arts?! *bows* i am not worthy

[v4552]

how is it that dorkman got revived?

[Rongo5]

I'd blame the clone theory.

[rankmygeekness]

I wrote a fan-fiction story about it as soon as i had it checked i will upload it... (i wrote it in a second language)

[twitchd8]

I completely completely agree at 8:38-4:00, criticism is your best friend... If you look at what you are doing, you think it's amazing, others may not think so... as long as it's constructive, instead of being "oh, you suck" tell why you suck... you hit it right on the nail.... i have videos I need criticized, and a way to remedy the problems. I know what you mean....

[GHRiz]

If the video won't load, add &fmt=18 to the end of the url, to force hi def format, and it will load.

[v4552]

sure........ thanks for the info

[AlMightyBob90]

Yea, video ain't loading for me...

[zshattuck]

uhh can anyone give me a link cause it says the vid is no longer available...

[MaXG65]

Ok... Just a thought... You need to come back with an army... Or say an entourage... An epic so to say...

Oh yeah...

[jewluvsu]

you should make 3

[CRAZYconTHEsk8er]

How'd you do the shot under the grate in RVD2? (where the sabers were under the mesh)

[sicnarf2]

It was a ForceFX lightsaber.

[CRAZYconTHEsk8er]

i know, but how'd they roto it?

[danynumbuh68]

whats their mail?

[Magicguy15]

Do you meen their E mail.

[danynumbuh68]

yes their E mail.

[ChandlerTheCatProduc]

You guys should put Brandon Flyte in RvD3. It'll be so awesome if you guys did that.

[SadAnon9085]

The stuff that was cut out from KotOR 2 was hidden on the disc. The people that worked on it got screwed over in the end by Lucas Arts basically saying "Put it out by christmas. It'll sell because of the name." and a lot of stuff got cut out. The developers were pissed and hid the real stuff on the disc. I had heard The Sith Lords Restoration Project was adding that stuff back.

Talking about not needing film school reminds me of the route Sam Raimi went. Just messing around doing what you love.

[meteorainer]

you could make an rvd3. dorkman and ryan both got stabbed in rvd1 and theres some random dood that doesnt come into rvd2 at all. why would getting chopped in half have anything to do with it? they are fight scenes not episodes in a story.

[Vykkdraygo713]

i remember i had the Episode III game and was looking thru the instruction manual for no reason, and i saw his name in the credits...i was like WHAT THE HELL?

[travsrms]

Great Video but i think maybe you should ad some more force abilities to RvD3

[dvdtv789]

how did you make the light saber sounds

[stokmarknes]

oh, my god-_-'

[zetramax]

i just realized you have the same comp screen as me in between you two

[nathan9384]

So Ryan worked on KOTOR 2? That's cool. I was wondering what sort of work you did on the game and what you thought about it. I love the game, but I would have to say that it my opinion it was released prematurely. The droid factory on Nar Shaddaa is revealed through dialog with HK-47, but it was left out of the game completely. I was wondering if Ryan had any opinions on that game.

[LogaFilms]

I don't think that you can make an RVD3 because Ryan was chopped in half in RVD2, unless you make a clone or something :D

[Jboxton]

I hope you guys are doing well. You have real talent.

[PadreFan9228]

woah too many thumbs

[ikanaide]

a man gotta eat

[ArtyKing12345]

no offence for R AND D

[tstory96]

which effects software did u use?

[ikanaide]

lol

already answered

[hillaryscott5656]

good job guys i liked your videos:)

[dodrio]

GREAT JOB GUYS, ide love to c RvD3 if u can!

Maby u could even throw in another friend of yours to make more intresting! Just a thought!

[armanithe2nd]

Hah noticing all the wierd crap that makes no sense. lol .... Sounds like me.

[smoophproductions]

[laxgodx]

Are you retarded?

[armanithe2nd]

That would be my guess.

[smoophproductions]

i was kidding omg!!!!!11111one

[ArtyKing12345]

fuck face

[ArtyKing12345]

shit head

[xbox117]

omg im kidding. i live in the geddo

[YanStofurst]

Hey WTF they actually succed in the film industry, what is your fucking problem? Ryan is working on Heroes SFX for fuck's sake. I hate people like you, you put down those who have talent.

I think you are jealous or maybe your dick is small. Yeah, actually, it don't seem like jealousy to me.

[xbox117]

omg im kidding. dang i live in the geddo, its a common joke

[flipm212]

I noticed it too earlier...

[RingMaster23]

they answered my question, any version of after effects after version 6.0 will work for a saber movie.

[Videomaster7180]

hey guys, im a huge star wars fan nd i enjoyed both of ur movies...i cant wait to u eventually make a 3rd one

[DarthmanReid]

hey why do you call yourself Dorkman? i can't remember

[madARTGermany]

guys, the way you're sitting there and talking to the camera in such an easy-going way - that's really professional! respect :) keep up all the good work!

[jordondavey161]

hi you guys are cool i do effects

[EvilPaperclip]

Thanks very much for uploading these. Good luck for the future, I'll be looking out for you guys. Hope you make millions.

[DirectorToby]

ive just watched all of these behind the scenes videos and really wnaetd to thank you for making them. they were really interesting to watch and very informative - best of luck with your careers.

[youngcyberman]

How do u make your films so popular coz i'm making my star wars films and just really wanna get people watching them and obviously enjoying them

[m0nk3yp13]

What type of program and films do you use for the RvD2 battle scenes?

[Diamontris]

Impressive work record on your FX career Ryan, and kudos to you as well Dorkman. I am also a great fan of your three works, especially RvD2.

If one were to send in a video to be worked on, what would the rate be for it to be editted? Per minute, per frame, per video, or other? I am asking this because I am constructing a video of similar design, and I would be honored to have one or both of you work on the special effects.

[nazgulers]

holy shit! he works on heroes?

[alexthebrit]

how much would it cost for you to add special effects to a film already shot and edited

[DonCorleone87]

ya both KOTORs were great... thought KOTOR 2 had more potential though, but came up a bit short :P

[OYISGEN]

is it true that you worked for The Shaggy Dog? For the visual effect?

[koolkakool]

cool.i LOVE KOTOR 2

[ChiefBloodFang]

hey cool played KOTOR 1 and 2 those were sweet games.

[JohntheCena]

who can i do that my self?...i want to know how to edit a lightsaber in a movie...can someone help a little idiot^^?

[Jushooter1]

Seems like the little idiot will have to type some words on Google.

[ArmyGrunt]

Go to videocopilot dot net, they have several great tutorials, as well as the light saber tutorial.

[1221nvg]

hey ryan ,dorkman im kinda new to utube ,rvd2 was one of the first vids i saw when i started watching and i gota tell ya it blew me away.thats preaty cool.

[jipss]

Can you give me some help.

i need to know how you edit the lightsabers, and how you make the cuts and when you make the sabers go tru metal. plz help it wil be greatly appereated.

[Ubertom9999]

If you go TheForce dot net (YouTube doesnt allow URL's in comments) theres an entire section of tutorials that tell you how to do this stuff.

[drummerdip]

whoa you guys r so lame

[maverickrx8]

ur jsut jealous cuz they no how to do all this and they r way mroe successful then u

[Jushooter1]

what?

[captainfury2007]

I ade an hour and a half documentary on my tour overseas, and i was interviewed by the Military Channel. Talk about cut-and-dry feedback. It was the most rewarding experience of my life. It gave me a violent shove into how important TRUE feedback is rather than patronizing "atta boys". I wish you guys the best.

[Secludedthoughts]

quick question, how many times has your glasses been broken?

[Kaeli1]

RvD2 was so epic XD

[LarryRusso67]

cool guys - glad to see there is a lot of intelligence behind these guys - i really wish them tons of luck and fortune with all they get into - all the best guys! May the force be with you!

[bralen24]

Congrats on your 1 million views!! If you do plan to make RvD3 don't hesitate to ask for a donation I would be more then happy to pitch in.

Have a great week,

Juventino Baza

[redeagle123456]

HOW DARE YOU DISCRACE THE NAME OF STAR WARS!!! even though these guys are out of this world, None shall ever be able to match the kick assity of the Star Wars films. (No offense Ryan and Dorkman)

[FooledToaster]

Ill break your star trek dvd's nerd

[redeagle123456]

[patrickfuckingdavis]

wow good one u really got them

[FooledToaster]

[patrickfuckingdavis]

ok u do that

[FooledToaster]

m not doing anything, let it go, CLICK

[patrickfuckingdavis]

let what go??? i dont know whats going on :S

[shortstraw88]

RvD3, you make like a short film instead of just a single fight, but HAVE fighting in it, but give a storyline, that would be out of this world, it would be better than the star wars movies!

[IkuZoKidd]

About everything you said about going to film school..HELL YEAH! I totally agree, guys. I never went to film school but I know what I want to see on camera and we just make it all work..good luck to you guys in the future!

[TheNudeBiker]

You guys are very sympathetic people, congratulations your work is great.

AL (from France)

[white8nerdy]
