Hey guys! Thank you for watching our movie! Our cinematographer Chris Lundy made a break down video explaining how we shot APEX, including how we made it rain! ruclips.net/video/I-auOYS0mkQ/видео.html
Amazing duel guys, I assume they are honorable for not killing them while they’re down, also have you guys ever though of making a duel with a really overpowered sith taking on multiple opponents with stuff like force lighting and lightsaber throws? I thought it’d be a cool idea, you could do the lightning with flickering lights up their sleeve, whether you use this idea or not you earned a sub 👍
Ancient holocron that prolly had over a thousand years worth of teachings and content from numerous notable Sith lords *Throws nonchalantly into river*
Okay, i seriously loved this. One issue i sometimes have with some of these fanmade lightsaber duels is that they can feel more like a sparring match than an actual duel, but i never felt that in this. This truly felt like a fight to the death. It had some of the choreography and finess of the prequel duels, while also having that power behind each strike and that chaos that comes with just trying to stay alive. Truly beautiful
Seriously Disney if your watching this you NEED these guys! The cinematography was amazing,the choreography more so.I can only imagine what they could come up with if they had access to Disney money.
I think the thing that gets me is the narrative of this fight is particularly interesting. In the outset, the Hero is grievously wounded by the Holocron's guardian and is barely holding on for most of the encounter. Yet time and time again he regathers himself again and again to fight with a vigor of a healthy man, to the extent of seeming more powerful as the fight wore on. His conviction to complete his task was his strength and until that point he couldn't let him fall. Right up to the point of exposing his chest to his adversary as a taunt. "Look, you stabbed me once with my guard down, now that I'm aware your blade will never reach me again." In contrast the other man was an bitter, angry sentry who hated his job yet did it obediently with brutal efficacy. Literally every action boiled in resentment at having his entire life lead to guarding this stupid stone in the middle of nowhere. Power was everything and as a man usually at the bottom of the sith pecking order, took immense delight in destroying those fools who dared venture close. Yet his confrontation with this singularly determined stranger frustrated him, he had after all inflicted a telling blow, how did he keep getting up? The idea of duty being a driving force was alien to him until he observed that the stranger sought to destroy the holocron and, in a fit of anger, threw it away. After all, if he was so determined to destroy the damn thing, then getting rid of it would sap his remaining strength? Just you, and me! Perhaps it was the closest he ever had to having anyone in his life that he could call a peer and simply had no idea how to deal with it. All he had was a duty, a fear of the sith and a thankless task that he resented, he was chained to that cursed thing being unable to ever use it's power. No, instead the inquisitor misread the situation and robbed himself of the only duty he ever had. Without the Holocron to project he was an angry, scared guard dog with no teeth, something the Jedi recognised in him in the short exchange that followed. In contrast, the Jedi fought for life and clung to it as even without it there his duty was still intact; so he slain the young man and wandered into the wilderness, doggiedly determined to find the Holocron in the water and ensure it wouldn't ruin another life like it did the inquisitor.
What’s truly amazing about your story, is that you nailed a lot of the talking points we discussed when developing the narrative of the fight. Brilliant work!
(Notices a few pings. Keeps meaning to reply. XD) Wow. Honestly I'm flattered, as I had only expected to indulge myself by writing. XD Funnily enough I've never really written any fiction by itself; I largely learnt to write by hitting up roleplaying forums a while back, quite literally as I didn't actually take my GCSE English when I was in school and largely stuck to more academic writing when I went to uni. So yeah, kinda surprised. I'll give those comments a little thought and write up some short stories to see how it goes. That being said I only really applied ink to the APEX colouring book. The credit really goes to those guys for setting an evocative scene.
I've been watching your entries for the last two years and you two are the only ones who seem to understand that you're supposed to be trying to kill each other and not just slapping colorful swords together. Intense as always, and really cool to see you guys reverse roles.
To be fair, he did say in the last two years. Ryan and Dorkman’s classic duel was about 8 or so years ago I think? Praise be the masters that came before.
The choreography is stellar. But there is one thing I'd really like to highlight that's well done in this: For a 4 minute "fight scene," the entire sequence tells a story that can be felt. There is this ebb and flow between the two characters. With one mistaken move, the other can really lose while the other wins. The moves are stylized and fancy, yes, but they're not taken to a degree where they don't feel necessary - in fact, it's the opposite, the moves enhance the personality of these two foes and just make the short even more exciting. A lot of other fight scenes don't get the "story" part. They just exhibit two people brawling it out and focus on the "moves" rather than the "emotion." So, really, very well done.
This is quite possibly my favorite comment in here. You are literally hitting on the ideas that we discuss during the choreography process. Before we even begin to clash weapons, we talk about story, emotion and the positives and negatives that we want our protagonist to go through. Your comment makes me very proud because it shows that we accomplished our goal. You can choreograph the fanciest or simplest moves you want, but they mean nothing if they're not tied to the emotion of the character. Thank you for this comment!
It's sick how fluid and natural this fight is. From another comment they said it's not just slapping colorful swords together. THIS is what a true light saber duel between 2 foes should look like. Very well done and deserving of all accolades.
Love the look of Dan in all the fights I've seen him in.. dude just has that bad ass crazed look about him with a viking-esk onscreen presence that I just want to see more of... give this guy his own feature-length film.
I love how brutal, visceral, and uncoordinated you make it look. It’s so much more grounded and real than other lightsaber fights I’ve seen, looking more light an actual fight than a dance.
THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST SABER DUEL SHORT EVER! The story. The composition. The lighting. The effects. The color grading. The choreography. All of it comes together to be absolutely SPECTACULAR!!!!
EVERY shot could be a movie poster. The cinematography is absolutely beautiful. The performances are incredible. The effects are fantastic. The lighting is insane. Well done on this, guys
The thing I like most about your stuff is how good it is at telling a story through the fight. It’s not just two people trying to kill each other there’s emotion behind it. Keep up the great work and congratulations on winning.
Congratulations you sexy beasts! This masterpiece truly was the Apex of Sabercomp 2020. It was so good to see on your 5th anniversary of entering you went back to just you and Dan going at it. Seeing you guys fight as kids in your backyard to now literally brought a tear to my eye! A bromance of the ages! You continually inspire me and influence my filming in ways you wouldn't even know, even though you're half the world away and we haven't even met (yet) I still consider you a mentor. Can't wait to see you inevitably kicking ass on the big screen!
i have seen my fair share of light saber battles; this one has the best fight choreography i have never seen, I wish more fight scenes like this would find its way into the Star Wars Franchise. Talk about eye candy, I tip my hat to you Mr. Michael Yadvish. The force is strong in you.
You know what I love about this fight? Proper use of edits and cuts. So many fights cut so frequently, that it's jarring and painful. You guys do cuts but not every second. You allow the combat to flow so much better as a result!
Somebody Is getting good in premier.... Again, well done. I'm now more convinced than ever that this is the route for me. I gotta find someone to be my saber buddy, so I can beat the hell out of em lol.
This is absolutely amazing! I have been looking forward to it all year, and it does not disappoint. Your duels are always my favorite every year. Each one is unique from every other fan duel out there, whether it is using tonfas, is a 3V1, or resembling a horror story! Overall, the choreography is yet again, amazing! Especially that you did it in cold temperatures, and with the water pelting down. The use of the force looked so realistic, and is one of the best versions I have seen in a fan duel. Also, it was cool to see a switch up of you guys’ roles. Great job yet again! Congratulations on winning Saber Comp again! It is well deserved.
I remember watching this live and hoping you guys would do amazing and you definitely did not disappoint. The switch from good to evil, thecinematography, the choreography. I can't find a single flaw so far. You guys earned this dub
What I think made the actual combat so amazing is the fact that they acted like they were actually trying to hit each other. A lot of the time in other videos, the movements look nice but they are aiming at the others saber. Also they used stuff like the judo throw that made it seem a lot more real. I actually felt like they were really fighting for their lives. Also great video descriprion lol.
Adding actually marshal arts was an amazing touch. The leg sweep, and the shoulder throw at the end made that so much better than just clashing blades.
I love the fact that you've incorporated the force predictions that so many "recreations" have failed to account for, perfectly shown how they can block strikes without even seeing it through the force
Well done. The best choreographed fights are the ones where it still looks like the opponents are actually fighting, rather than a fancy dancing "duel" like most you see on RUclips or in SaberComp. You pulled it off well. Again I say, well done.
No senseless twirling, no pointless flourishes, every move had an intent to either block or inflict damage... as would a true melee duel. I love this so much.
Holy fkn sht. That was truly fkn EPIC. Definitely earned a like and a sub. Wow that was very amazing. The intensity was just out of this world. I would pay to see a movie with u guys for real.
Congrats on the stellar first place finish! I just watched this, and wow, this was pretty incredible. As cool as all the choreography and lighting were, I just as much enjoyed the silence, beats, and moments to breathe in between the fight. Felt very musical to me, and it was a rhythm and cadence that was easy to follow. Wonderful job! Can’t wait to see what you’ll do next.
Hey dude! Thank you so much! I'm glad you pointed out some of my favorite moments in the movie! Can't have an explosion of energy without first having a moment of stillness. :)
Amazing job by the entire team. It’s crazy to me that both of your last two lightsaber duel videos are better choreographed, much more intense and just all around better than any lightsaber battle in any of the 9 movies in the skywalker saga. Again, well done and thank you for all the work that you and your team put into this.
This is THE best lightsaber fight in Star Wars. It out does anything the prequels, originals, and sequels did. It has emotion, and actually has weight to the lightsaber fights!!!!
Great fight, but....Man! That Inquisitor has really been doing some upkeep on the woods of Dathomir! Beautiful grass, trees, clean water?! Nice of him. Maybe this Jedi should’ve been helping him?! Or maybe you should’ve rethought where this took place because a Sith holocron would hardly taint Dathomir, it would be right at home! lol
I've watched this probably two dozen times since my other comment and I'm almost amazed more and more each time. I said your choreography was always impressive and convincing, but you've got so much more going on than that. Cinematography, direction, sound design, editing, all on point. The minimal amount of acting in this is impressive as well. We can see what you're feeling in both of your expressions, hear the intensity in your grunts and cries of pain, and both the language you speak and your accent when speaking english are quite convincing. Disney better reach out to you boys.
@@MichaelYadvish I'm not one of those sticklers that bashes the sequel trilogy but i definitely enjoy your short films more than the majority of the fights in the films, even going back to the other two trilogies. Anyways, next year can't come soon enough.
Very well done! Better choreography than a lot of these. Still looked cool without being overly flashy, and it felt like there was intent behind the movements.
Incredible work fellas. I loved every moment. Great narrative, good cinematography and choreography, and insane lighting. Either one of you guys could beat Rey and her mary sue powers easily.

Fantastic duel plus once I saw the green saber dude assume the position (Obi Wan stance) I knew it was game over for the red saber guy

LOL Even the Jedi dude was like "what the heck."
@@MichaelYadvish It also seems like the dark side user became way weaker the moment he did that.

You should write about fiction. The way you analyze and use these short 5 minutes and put it into so many words without droning on is an art form.
Your writing is fire dude take bro’s advice I never read but you had me locked in LMAO!

Fantastic become Fanatic 🤣
the fans they Degrading Star wars Saga forever 😒 pathetic and brainless 🔻
You got fans on RUclips making a lightsaber battle better than what a billion dollar company can make I love this
I love the "Come at me bro!" Fighting style!
Rhett sure knows how to use a lightsaber 😂
These 5 minutes have more passion and spirit in them than the entire sequel trilogy
It's sick how fluid and natural this fight is. From another comment they said it's not just slapping colorful swords together. THIS is what a true light saber duel between 2 foes should look like. Very well done and deserving of all accolades.

Anyone notice as soon as the dark side user throws away the holocron, he becomes way weaker?
Ahh good observation!
nice very very nice. He doomed himself as soon as he did that.

Impressive. Most impressive.
Jedi: You throwing that holocron in the river?
Sith: I don’t know. I was thinking about it.
Jedi: It’d be a lot cooler if ya did!
This video is entirely underrated and deserves more views and attention
🙌🏻
The choreography and cinematography was Amazing!!!
They did a good job of blending the weight of the original trilogy with the acrobatics of the prequel.
This is better than the final fight in the rise of skywalker. The Choreography here was 100x better than the sequels. Even the music was good.
This movie has done in 5 minutes what Disney can't do in 2 years make a good Star wars film
Man this is better than any of the lightsaber fuels in the sequels
This has better choreography than all the sequels combined...
What this chaos camera movment kill this wideo
One of the best force pushes. Nothing like slamming jedis against trees. #teamsith

Great Job Guys! You deserved it! Next year we'll sign in a challengers and try to stay on your level!
Adding actually marshal arts was an amazing touch. The leg sweep, and the shoulder throw at the end made that so much better than just clashing blades.
This story needs to be told! WOW! That fight choreography is epic and the filmography is epic!
Man this is a great combination of prequel energetic fighting and original simple fighting.
Awesome choreography!! You guys are faster than real jedis.
I love the fact that you've incorporated the force predictions that so many "recreations" have failed to account for, perfectly shown how they can block strikes without even seeing it through the force
VERY WELL DONE. I FELT THE INTENSITY. LIKE EVERYTHING MATTERED.
I not even surprised but how much better these fights are than the ones that Disney makes.
This was epic. Disney are you taking notes? THIS is a saber fight people will watch!
Increadible choreography and then shakycam, shakycam, quick cut to an oblique angle, shake.
Loved the cyberpunk music
Well done.
The best choreographed fights are the ones where it still looks like the opponents are actually fighting, rather than a fancy dancing "duel" like most you see on RUclips or in SaberComp.
You pulled it off well. Again I say, well done.
“ Through Pain, I Gain Strength” 😎💪🏾💪🏾 .... Great work guys !! I love it!!
YESS!
The choreo is just gold.
This was truly amazing, I swear the starwars community has the most dedicated fans sometimes.
i think this is easily one of the best fight scenes i’ve ever seen from any type of show movie or video
This is probably the most epic and thrilling fan film I have ever seen.
Thank you!! ☺️🤙🏻
Can I just say thank you for having this in ultrawide resolution too. Looked fantastic :)
You guys earned this year's win!
When a 5 min video beats a million dollar movie.
The one video was better than the whole sequel trilogy
@@ty-tanium3875 Yasss agreed!
Wow guys just wow 🤩
No senseless twirling, no pointless flourishes, every move had an intent to either block or inflict damage... as would a true melee duel. I love this so much.
INSANE WORK AS ALWAYS! I love your entries to saber comp they are always inspiration to keep working
A winning saber duel well earned!
Just found your channel, you guys are mindblowing! It's been more than a decade of fan films yet you surpass most.
Wow, thank you!
So much better than the sequels.
You all never cease to amaze me. SICK
And I hope we never stop! ;)
feels fresh and yes disney needs you guys GOOD JOB one of the best live action lightsaber fight
Better than anything in the sequels that's for sure
Holy fkn sht. That was truly fkn EPIC. Definitely earned a like and a sub. Wow that was very amazing. The intensity was just out of this world. I would pay to see a movie with u guys for real.
This is better than any fight from the sequel trilogy. Take notes, Disney

Hey dude! Thank you so much! I'm glad you pointed out some of my favorite moments in the movie! Can't have an explosion of energy without first having a moment of stillness. :)
Amazing job by the entire team. It’s crazy to me that both of your last two lightsaber duel videos are better choreographed, much more intense and just all around better than any lightsaber battle in any of the 9 movies in the skywalker saga.
Again, well done and thank you for all the work that you and your team put into this.
Amazing fight scenes and intensity! Congrats on the well deserved win!
This is THE best lightsaber fight in Star Wars. It out does anything the prequels, originals, and sequels did. It has emotion, and actually has weight to the lightsaber fights!!!!
Wow that’s an amazing compliment ❤️
Omg wow, every moment of this was so magical, the thunder, the music, the choreography, the storyline (sorta) just wow. So impressive.
Absolutely a stellar job! The passion in this fight was so inspiring!
Great fight, but....Man! That Inquisitor has really been doing some upkeep on the woods of Dathomir! Beautiful grass, trees, clean water?! Nice of him. Maybe this Jedi should’ve been helping him?! Or maybe you should’ve rethought where this took place because a Sith holocron would hardly taint Dathomir, it would be right at home! lol

@@MichaelYadvish I'm not one of those sticklers that bashes the sequel trilogy but i definitely enjoy your short films more than the majority of the fights in the films, even going back to the other two trilogies.
Anyways, next year can't come soon enough.
Very well done! Better choreography than a lot of these. Still looked cool without being overly flashy, and it felt like there was intent behind the movements.
Incredible work fellas. I loved every moment. Great narrative, good cinematography and choreography, and insane lighting.
Either one of you guys could beat Rey and her mary sue powers easily.
