Star Wars meets The Princess Bride - The Chatty Duelists
Loading...
Uploaded by VFXFreak on Jan 1, 2009
A new twist on one of the best swordfights ever. I started this little project three years ago as a way of learning my effects software. After the first five shots or so I had figured out the software reasonably well, so I rarely touched it after that. I finally finished it and hope you like it.
The first few shots are a bit rough because I was just getting going, but the quality improves as I got better at what I was doing. I used Adobe After Effects with some cool plug-ins for the effects, Adobe Audition to re-work the soundtrack (extracting swords clanging and the like) and Premiere Pro to put it all together.
The final project consisted of three video layers and ten soundtracks. I downloaded the sound effects from various sources on the Internet.
The scene from "The Princess Bride" is called "The Chatty Duelists" on the DVD. It's my favorite swordfight, and one of my favorite scenes in a really great movie. If this video ever gets to any of the people responsible for making "The Princess Bride," thank you, and I hope you found it amusing.

The man who choreographed this fight was hired to do the light saber choreography in the Star Wars prequels.

Why isn't this available on mobile?

@SHISCO1 actually it is by far and away the most useful piece of technology I've ever owned. And it doesn't work on any mobile phones. Android included.

My name is Luke Skywalker. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Luke: "I do not mean to pry, but why do you wear a mask and helmet all the time?
Were you burned in the face with acid or some'ting?"
Vader: "Oh no, nothing like that... it's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think in the future of space travel, everyone will be wearing them."
Luke: "Can I take this mask off, and see your real face one last time?"
Vader: "I don't think so..."
Luke: "I *must* know."
Vader: "Get used to disappointment."
