  • SaberComp is going since 2002. It brought people all around the world to make Lightsaber Fights. If it wasnt for this competion, our coach would never start doing lightsaber choreography, films and VFX. And this is our tribute to this amazing competition.
    (Our film is filled with easter eggs to legendary Lightsaber Fights. Can u find them all?)
    Created by HILT Fencing Academy.
    Red Saber: Andrey Nikanorow
    Blue Saber: Ivan Plotnikov
    Yellow Saber: Anastasia Trefilova
    Music from Matrix 4.

    A lot of people noticed bits of choreography and camera work from "Ryan vs Brandon" and they are right! This fan-film was made as a homage to oldschool LCC and SaberComp videos with guys in modern clothes fighting on parking lots :) Ryan him self was a judge on SaberComp 2022 and he liked our love letter to him. We at Hilt academy always make our own stuff. This one was intentionally filled with references in camera work and choreography bits. Thanks for watching!

    Well done!! This was fun to watch and visually is awesome.
    My only nit pick is that you can see that there is no “danger” in this duel. The choreography seemed to be put together around flurries and showmanship rather than two combatants at tempting to gain an advantage and strike their opponent.
    I look forward to seeing more in the future.

      Thnk god i was not alone on this thought after reading gracefully wielding etc comments.
      This is no "Fight" its just hitting each others blade or staff w/e
      Well i'm no expert but i still have saber combat with my friends (even with ex-wife) not just hitting each other's sticks.. literally trying to hit/smash the opponent's head or wherever you can hit..
      so all this.. too lacking in my opinion. and too slow too maybe its good for showmanship (even than i have seen better fights ) well ofc. better than nothing..

    I like the omage to Ryan VS Brandon/Dorkman. The subtle references-The colors of the lightsabers, Blue for Ryan, Red for Brandon, and yellow for Dorkman, and also the reference to RVD 1, having the guy with the blue lightsaber get cut in the same spot as Ryan. And the not-so-subtle references, like the sneaky second lightsaber and changing to a double lightsaber mid-fight. Overall, it is also creative in it's own respect, separating it from Ryan Wieber's duels. Great work, Tyumen Saberfighting Academy!

    I can totally see the RvB2 points of inspiration, while you still make it your own. Most of the choreography is really great!

    • @commanderdreg

      @@RussianSaberfighting the two points I noticed was around 2:43 and 4:45. note that it only feels super slow in comparison with what's around it it's still relatively fast-paced. there are other 'slow' bits but they feel intentional, like two masters casually probing each other's defenses.
      on a careful rewatch I think you may have slowed the footage there for dramatic effect, but if you did it's hard to notice that it's going slow-mo (if it is) because the sound doesn't follow suit, so it just feels sloppy.
      All in all, though, this is great and I will definitely be adding it to my shortlist. Can't wait to see your entry next year.

    Can I just say, aside from the awesome choreography, I appreciate how you got the colors of the sabers just right. Often they'll be too red or the wrong shade of blue, etc. This is pretty much exactly what I think they should look like.
    Edit: I also appreciate that the guy who sticks to just the single saber style is the most skilled, as opposed to the guy who tries to pull the double saber gimmick.

    @Neutral_Tired Год назад +2

    Way to dual wield without taking advantage of any of the benefits of dual wielding. With two weapons, the biggest advantages are:
    You can attack faster by swinging one forward while the other weapon is still recovering, works best if the attacks come from different directions and/or have different targets
    You can attack two locations at once so the enemy can't block both, ideally you want to swing for the head and the feet at the same time
    Or you can attack while still having a weapon in reserve for defense
    He pretty much exclusively attacked with both weapons and kept his weapons close enough to each other that his opponent could block both, completely negating all three of those advantages

  • @SoSoSpeechless
    @SoSoSpeechless Год назад

    I just love how well the style of the person wielding the red lightsaber is done. Combining that with the very fast paced person with the blue saber and it makes for a visually stunning battle. Each little parry and block, you get the feeling these two have some kind of history and that maybe the red lightsaber guy has learnt that being a bit more measured and controlled (and solely practicing discipline with 1 lightsaber) can actually help him beat his opponent. Very talented actors and the clash of styles works beautifully - can’t wait for the sequel 👍

  • @pali1d
    @pali1d Год назад +2

    Really enjoyed this. My only real criticism is that while wielding his two blades separately, Blue didn't truly take advantage of having a weapon in each hand - he blocks with both rather than blocking with one while simultaneously attacking with the other (or blocks with one while the other is out of play), or uses both to attack high or low together rather than having one attack high while the other attacks low. This largely negates the advantage of dual wielding in the first place.
    Other than that minor gripe (which can be applied to the vast majority of dual wielding work I've seen in similar videos), this was excellent work - the double-bladed saber segment in particular I thought was handled very well, with several alternating high-low attacks and Blue taking advantage of his greater leverage at 2:18. Again, I had a great time watching this.

Serene even, almost as if having to own through the fight as a part of a meditation session. Well done anyway.
