  • This isn' that great. I mean the whole rich school that can afford cool looking costumes and set can only go so far. The choreography is dull, unimaginative, and slow. Seen better acting too. I can't critique the whole play, I haven't seen it, but I def have seen better fight scene work at the high school level. Does this music really go with the mood and the emotion the audience should be feeling too? Idk music choice coulda been better. Great effort into the performance. Hope the rest went ok

  • @JamesWegmans

    Thats the most ignorant comment I have ever come across. The costumes cost us around 10k rupees, thats less than 95 dollars divided between 30 cast members, which is a little over 3 dollars person. Look at the set, its just three platforms and that makes us rich?

    I saw your little fight video, we can do it that fast and slick if we were given rubber swords like you use,but if you noticed ( with the sound) we used real swords , each weighing over 8 pounds.

  • Oh man thank you so much =)

    This is going to be so perfect

    thanks again :)

  • just make sure u dun kill any one coz these are real swords :)

  • hey awesome job guys. im doing a play with school and wanted to do a similiar sword fight. I was hoping u guys could tell me the name of the song so that i can use it

    thanks

  • heyy, thanks. its the "PRINCE OF THIEVES" sound track :).. you can also try "AT WIT'S END"from pirates of the Caribbean 3 and most of GOD OF WAR 2 sound tracks are good for a sword fight

  • OMFG at 0:36

  • @geethike No you could not do it fast and slick because whoever came up with the choreography has no imagination and as dull as it looked, they had no motivation. If you are using weapons that weigh more than eight pounds you are idiots. First and foremost that is a HUGE safety hazard which is the FIRST rule in putting together a fight scene, any tard could tell you that. Using something so unwieldy shows a disregard for that prime rule. Music choice was unrealistic and obviously out of place.

  • Nice work on sri Lankan standards, the sounds are nice too, but sometimes too loud over the lines.

  • whoa what a show... I had goose bumps watching this and I almost teared. had the privilege of being in this cast truly amazing with unforgettable memories.

    Hail the Dons!!!

    Awesome altogether! Unbelievably epic. My pants have been blown off.

  • Really? Jurassic Park? Really?
