Lightsaber Choreography Contest V Entry 13

where effects?

Well see what people don't understand is that, Jedi and Sith alike use the force to predict the opponents next swing therefore the fight lasts much longer than a traditional sword fight.

If it were a serious fight, it would be over in a few moves. But it's not, as lightsaber combat isn't in anyway real. And if you think that being a bigger guy is in anyway a disadvantage in actual sword combat, you are sorely mistaken.

tbh to win a fight like this if was a serious sword fight you would just have to be patient and out last Darth Chubbs.

First: I am not judging this based off special effects.

Music was a tad bit off for me. It did not grip me, but made me wanna start dancing (which is not a pretty sight). The fighting itself was very... Hollywood, only because there were several instances where death was as easy as a slight twist of the wrist, but instead, you had to make this OVERTHETOP swing that lead to the life of the opponent. Other than those few things, I loved it. Good acting, GREAT story, and worth watching. 3.5/5

Nice choreography, really, but...
..it's just a choreography. Don't take me wrong, but there's nothing of real fight. A bit skilled swordsman can win this duel insome few seconds, but I think, that if somebody don(t know anything about swordfight, it must look amaizing

You're a blithering idiot you really are. Obviously the the whole premise of lightsaber battles aren't real fights. Ryan and Dorkman even said it themselves. It's not supposed to be real because the circumstances of the fight aren't realistic.

Maybe Ryan and Dorkman said that, but lightsaber duels in original saga was made to be realistic.(in the way of fighting.) And in this video are too many moves, that must end with death of one of fighters...so...
And actually, why I am an idiot? I'm just somebody, who knows anythink abou fighting with sword or sabre or what you want. And I¨m just telling, that some moves are wrong.

pretty neat what did you guys use as blades?

It being made for a Choreography contest, the lighting, fx, and other aspects of the production were not judged upon, thus not focused on. In hindsight I wish I would have, though.
