this is so beautiful.. its amazing, it has so many emotions in it, im nearly crying at the music...wats it called?? its heavenly! this is one of the best videos ive ever seen!!! 5/5 KUDOS TO THE DIRECTOR!
The music is Chopin - prelude in E Minor. And thanks for the kudos, but I owe it to the folks (T J Rotolo and Tim Storms) who took the time out to put this together as a freebie.
Incredible Video, amazing, it is great...there is nothing I can say to describe how much I love it. Dont really care about the flags or about the fact that they use sabers even though they clearly are foilists because they count only the torso as valid target. Ive had a few first blood duels and they were always with fencing sabers, just because it is easier to cut :) we always keep our masks though... :)
I saw Ring of Steel not too long ago and really liked the combat scenes, especially the light-hearted one with "Brian". Rules of Engagement is much darker but just as riveting. Do you have any plans to make any longer films with the darker tone? By the way, your special effects work is awesome!
Ring of Steel was originally a much darker film. Kind of like "Deer Hunter" where Alex completely loses touch with who he is and doesn't even recognize his girlfriend. And yea, I've always got a bunch of projects lined up in addition to the effects work.
Good choice, even if sabre was the one wepon fenced at the 1912 Olympics that did NOT have a national team storm off in protest.
The Olympics are what, over time, homogenized fencing. There were lots of arguements, protests, and at least two real duels over the course of the first 7 Olympic Games...
