The athleticism in this duel is something you just can't fake. The actors obviously trained hard for this one and it shows. Good job and thanks for sharing.
this is by far the best lightsaber fight on youtube for two reasons. 1. you are actual stunt men and therefore are capable of all of the stylish badass epicness that all other fanfilms aspire to while still making this look like actual combat. (darth maul was entirely a stuntman, not an actor) 2. you were smart enough to let everyone else pick their own fight music independantly of the sound of you guys hacking each other to bits.
Best fragging lightsaber battle I've seen in a LONG TIME! Seems that none of them know how to use duel-saber techniques, though, like in the movies. But I love how this was real skill, and not just a bunch of the same moves repeated over and over, like in a lot of choreographed videos. Also loved the opening KICK to the sternum...set the bar high and kept it there the whole time!
Great work. The saber flip behind the back is one of the best tricks I've seen. Any chance for another fight. All that's missing is a little story to the scene.
HOW?! How did this one not win the contest of choreography involving light sabers? How?? It's so superior to the others I have seen. Well done guys! Well done indeed!
Great choreography. That force choke at the end was badass. Your sound needs alot of work though and the location could have been more interesting. Having said that as far as showing us what you can do, exceptional work. More please!
Hey guys, nice stuff! Cool techniques and nice use of the environment. Really liked the way you integrated martial arts and sabre fighting. Would have loved to see more. The yellow lightsaber dude looks like a mean bad-ass and therefore would have deserved more time to kick ass though :-)
I love how in all of these saber battles they all go from being equals with lightsabers but when their disarmed they turn into total badasses when they have to fight unarmed. They'd be better off not using a lightsaber at all then lol
3 years on youtube and just under 50k views? WTF This vid is awesome!!! There are so many crappy lightsaber fights on youtube that have 300-400k views at least
@ApocalypseKIDONE We made them. They're turned from solid aluminum and drilled with set screws for the blades. The blades are 3/4inch solid fiberglass rods, which have great strength and very low flex.
definitely one of the best out there. limited but effective use of Force, good convincing hand to hand, good blade technique. The blade effects were lacking, and I personally prefer when characters look like they are in the star wars universe. the sabers are used more like actual swords than like beams emiting from a heavy handle in this video. fight as though the blade has know weight and a slight turn of a wrist can kill you and the blade work will be more impressive
way cool, and great choreography. a little music or other background fx during the fight woulda been nice, but this was still very well done. i really like the sabers. :)
the visual effects were good, the choreography and execution was excellent, but the sound mixing and lack of music weren't doing it for me. also, if you work in more of the parkour and stunt stuff it would be very unique and cool
The hits and punches need their own sound effects too. It doesn't look like they're trying to kill each other it just looks like a bunch of choreographed moves. Which looks good don't get me wrong but this should be a duel to the death not a 'so you think you can dance with a stick' routine. Good, but it's no 'Empire Strikes Back'
Why are they doing heavily extended attacks when the opponent is extremely close? ...it's so bad that even if they had no response they still wouldn't of cut them.

Slick but I miss the good days when you could watch a fight scene without suffering motion sickness because of shaky camera syndrome...
that over the back transition from 2:30-2:40 (in that 10sec zone) was simply amazing.
yes
Dude's face at 0:40. "Oh man, what have I got myself into now"
+Daryl Dyer
I kinda thought it looked like: "Oh, now it's on!"

This was our entry for the LCC a few years ago. We won both the popular vote and the judges vote. We were very proud!

It's always nice to have people who know what they're doing making this stuff. Major props!
The choreographing is actually amazing! Way better than I expected 10/10
See, this is what the prequel fights were missing: the participants actually look like they're ATTACKING each other, instead of just touching blades.
Absolutely thrilling, I expect to see another. It would be a pity for such skill to remain unshown. It truely has excitement.
Woah wtf... this is a badass shortfilm... deserves atleast a million views.
Great work. The saber flip behind the back is one of the best tricks I've seen. Any chance for another fight. All that's missing is a little story to the scene.
Wow. One of the best I've seen so far. Love the fact that you guys added a lot of acrobatics and a little hand-to-hand combat in it.
We shot it at Gleason's Gymnastic School in Eagan, Minnesota.
extremely well coreographed, great job!
Probably the best choreography I've seen in one of these.
We agree! Tell your friends!
Probobly the best lightsaber fight on youtube
Seriously, one of THE most amazing duels I've ever seen! Great work!
HOW?! How did this one not win the contest of choreography involving light sabers? How?? It's so superior to the others I have seen. Well done guys! Well done indeed!
Personally, I like the camera. The contrast between the fighters and the darkness. Makes the whole fight feel more visceral.
intense and exciting duel; very good
What makes this film good is that you study the lightsaber forms and used them in your film. I see form iv, form v, and form vi.
Best video I ahve seen yet. Outstanding fight choreography!
this is better than quite a few lightsaber battles with more views which is a shame but all in all great job!
best intro to any fight on youtube
Blue felt funny with the final color palette of the film, so green it was!
No direct sequel planned, but we'll be putting out our new demo reel early January, stay tuned!
AMAZING GREAT FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY AND SOUND EFFECTS!!! JOB WELL DONE!!! :)
I love this! You guys did a spectacular job!
best saber fight i have ever seen even better then the movies but i wish you guys had costumes though
Amazing background music.. Is my only complaint
Great choreography. That force choke at the end was badass. Your sound needs alot of work though and the location could have been more interesting. Having said that as far as showing us what you can do, exceptional work. More please!
Hey guys, nice stuff! Cool techniques and nice use of the environment.
Really liked the way you integrated martial arts and sabre fighting.
Would have loved to see more. The yellow lightsaber dude looks like a
mean bad-ass and therefore would have deserved more time to kick ass though :-)
Blocking those heavy attacks at 2:40 = as real as it gets
this was amazing, i felt like it was a real battle for survival!
I love how in all of these saber battles they all go from being equals with lightsabers but when their disarmed they turn into total badasses when they have to fight unarmed. They'd be better off not using a lightsaber at all then lol
so far it's one of the best video i've seen,great job
Kid, this is awesome! Why doesn't this have more views?!
3 years on youtube and just under 50k views? WTF This vid is awesome!!! There are so many crappy lightsaber fights on youtube that have 300-400k views at least
so when is the sequel going to be out, for your vids, ;) great job guyies
Very good!
Where can i learn fighting sooo good? I have the book of Jedi, it is good for the forms 1-7
FINALLY a video with a green lightsaber!
Holy crap please tell me you making another?
this is the kind of choreography i would like to see for episode 7
Just kickass guys!! Really awesome!
Nicely done guys..
Its so amazing what the right equipment can help create is very awesome guys.
which forms are being used?
hey i am your 300th subscriber, you make cool and epic videos
Do u play xbox anybody??
awesome...wish I could do that. You guys should do star wars 7!!
favorite part was the force choke i must say that was SICK
I'm not sure actually. Some of them were made by our audio engineer, and the rest I think are pulled from video games.
dude that was fucking kick ass this is being downloaded to my computer with the rest of the great lightsaber battles :D
can you make a video with a saber staff guy fighting another saberstaff guy, or dual weilding guys fighting each other?
good stuff guys !! cant wait to see more !
@ApocalypseKIDONE We made them. They're turned from solid aluminum and drilled with set screws for the blades. The blades are 3/4inch solid fiberglass rods, which have great strength and very low flex.
Brutal as hell bro. I love it
Man I wish there were Tron Disc Battles like this.
Said no one ever..
definitely one of the best out there. limited but effective use of Force, good convincing hand to hand, good blade technique.

That face at 0:41, though...
it's terrifying...
idk why but it cracks me up
That was Brilliant.
Hey, whoa, wait a minute! I wanted to see more
Parkour guys/gymnasts need to make more lightsaber duels, period.
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
the problem with fan made lightsaber duels is that they always look like theyre trying to hit the other person saber and not actually kill them
when's the next one coming?!
sweet blade work
way cool, and great choreography. a little music or other background fx during the fight woulda been nice, but this was still very well done. i really like the sabers. :)
THIS DUAL WAS EPIC
MORE!
This is a awesome bad ass film
Totes awesome. And for people who say they were athletic, they were a stunt team.
add some music and it'd be great! awesome choreography
Any chance of a sequel or another film?
wheres the sequel?! :(
Amazing stuff
how do you get the well light in the video i tried making one but i couldnt get the smack of the lightsabers out of the video?
To be continued... I hope
make more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOTALLY SICK DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!
hmmm no music i like
Why green, yellow and red? I want to see blue blade!
NICE! Lightsaber hilts look sweet, did you make them yourselves?
Did you ever enter the LCC?
What Saber sounds did you use? From where? Thank you
What's the song during the endcredits?
the visual effects were good, the choreography and execution was excellent, but the sound mixing and lack of music weren't doing it for me. also, if you work in more of the parkour and stunt stuff it would be very unique and cool
AWESOME!!
awesome man !
...Well, Damn.
I'm speechless.
The hits and punches need their own sound effects too. It doesn't look like they're trying to kill each other it just looks like a bunch of choreographed moves. Which looks good don't get me wrong but this should be a duel to the death not a 'so you think you can dance with a stick' routine. Good, but it's no 'Empire Strikes Back'
Why are they doing heavily extended attacks when the opponent is extremely close?
...it's so bad that even if they had no response they still wouldn't of cut them.
This is sick, but seriously needs music and the ending was a bit typical of the era
nice made man!
So, um... Why did Bono kill Ray Park's little brother?
Which forms did you use?
I believe the red saver guy uses Makashi
This video had inspired me to take weaponry classes.
