I used to never see comments like these, but then skyrim came out

By basic I was honestly expecting "easy" :P Except the first one, they definitely not easy and most of indie actors (I bet - your friends? ;-) ) won't be able to pull them. But still, tips are good and even if you're not that well trained you can pull out something looking pretty good :-)

You're videos have helped/ inspired me alot, i'm starting a new indie youtube page soon and I was looking for tips to film with untrained martial artists that want to be in my videos in my surrounding area. this really help me try to smash the trained and untrained barrier without making things look strange or awkward

@CoolASAdM its a meme based off the line of dialogue "I used to be an adventurer too, then i took an arrow to the knee" from the video game "The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim"
