Little did we know the person standing next to him
IS NOT A REAL PERSON
Dun dun duuunnnnn
Just wait next Shad's gonna tell us the castle behind him isn't real.
No, come on, even a newbie to history can recognize that this is real medieval castle, Shad cant fake that
The Machicolations sell it, there's no way its fake with those there
Somebody needs to tell you the truth...
The door isn't historically accurate.
@@milansvarc9734 It’s even got machicolations for God’s sake
UHHm of course its real thats were he lives dough
i hear a dragon lived there until some guy came and told him about how dragon fights should work
until he got so annoyed, he left
You know its good quality when the best way to tell them apart is not how they look but how they sound.
We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly bamboozled. Amazing stuff Sir Shad!
Lies lies, the one thought to be pure is but full of darkness and shadow
Ah when Rvb was good and RT wasn't a shit show
I understand that reference.
Ah i cane here to comment this after the brigantine reveal
Next he's going to reveal that his gambeson was fake all along and we never noticed
I’ll be honest shad, the lies hurt. With all this deception, I don’t think us viewers can ever trust you again. Even though I may now buy a faux brigandine... it’ll be with a heavy heart
Only the studs on the brigandine give it away. And only just.
@@multidinero and the shoulder bend. I actually relised it before he said it was fake. I thought it was wierd but I didn't relise it was fake
@@LilliD3 same, I just thought the shoulder bend thing was very strange for most of the video haha
@@multidinero Really? Look again and pay special attention to the *_color._*
Shad: Here is proof that I have an interest in faux armor.
Us: Shad that's great but none of us have trouble believing you have an interest in anything related to armor.
Would like, but the like count is at 69.
@@claytonplays8722 We've passed that now. Thank you for the consideration, though. Nice.
Considering he has a castle in his yard, its very hard to not believe he has interest in *ANYTHING MEDIEVAL*
I love it... I had no idea that wasn't your normal armor... I see it now of course, now that I'm looking for it. But otherwise, I didn't know.
I honestly didn't know either. I also play video games while listening to Shad, so it's not like I was really looking at the video to begin with, but I am absolutely certain I would have been fooled too even if I had been just watching the video. Unless you're really looking, the armor looks legit. For costumes this stuff is perfect.
I didn't notice either, even looking at them both I can just see the difference in the pauldrons the rest is basically perfect.
Henceforth this will be known as "The Brigandine Bamboozle!"
"We've Been Tricked, We've Been Backstabbed and We've Been Quite Possibly, Bamboozled!"
Noice.
I feel so betrayed
Shad: "This armor isn't made out of metal!"
Me: "Please tell me that it's not made out of cake..."
The cake is a lie
@@graywolfdracon there is only pie.
@@Sniper-ry2gi pie is the superior dessert
"Want soap? Nope! It's cake!"
Want a soap bar made out of cake ?
Too bad that’s not really a soap bar made out of cake.... it’s a soap bar made out of cake made out of really tiny cake
I thought the photo was photoshopped. Looked like you put your head on someone else’s body. Never would have guessed it was not metal, though.
Yeah, Shad's body type looks completely different in the plate.
Me too!
Thought the same.
Same
Same here.
The second he started talking about proposing a fake brigandine I was like,
"Lol, what if the one he's wearing is fake." Then I heard the ominous music.
Same here LOL I got all sketched out especially when the music started. Then I felt dumb
I also had a strange fealing about it
My thought only went as far as "it would be 100% undetectable to viewers" especially if the bolts were actually metal or metal plated.
I thought the same! As soon as he started talking thought "I bet the one he's wearing is fake. They've already made one"
And to be fair, it was ONLY based on the comments. No chance I could tell based on looks!
I did notice the shoulders appeared to look lighter, but I passed it off as not watching the channel for long enough
The chronic fatigue could be due to the energy expended for every time Shad yelled "MACHICULATIOOOONS!". Feel better, sir knight.
"Now, why would you want this?"
Stop.
Why wouldn't you?
I dig the steel mixed with the brigadine look.
Also very authentic. Medieval soldiers often wore greaves and helm with brigandines.
Brigandines, as shown in the video would be excellent for movies. No neec for actual metal under if it doesn't need to be seen.
I have wanted a suit of armor for a while but with my heart defect I was born with I have a defibrillator and a 50lb weight limit. These look so cool, and I could actually wear them. I know what’s going on my Christmas list now
A beautiful example of why this armor is awesome! Get a set and wear it with pride my dude. My uncle had a heart condition and it limited what he could do (though he still tried his best!)
The site lists an average weight for the foam brigandine of 1.5kg. I have winter coats that weigh more than that. They don't look quite as awesome, either.
I kept waiting for the reveal that "Shad" was actually his brother in full silicone prosthetics the whole time. Also I like that he built a huge castle facade and then decided to get a green screen.
Winter and night time exist...
Like some kinda Medieval Mission: Impossible
I thought maybe the dummy suddenly rips the plastik off and starts to talk.
@@bruhdenegressive7887 And rain, snow, and sandstorms.
With the brigandine, the shoulders are definitely the big give away. I also personally think that the chest of the metal looks like a tighter fit. The shoulders on the foam fold also there’s definitely a difference notable in the materials.
The shoulders on the "fake" brigandine bend a little. That's the only way I've been able to tell.
Agreed. It creases a little bit. If the shoulders had some PVC or other rigid plastic inside them, I think it'd be perfect.
The fake shoulder armor goes past Shad’s elbow. The real shoulder armor does not doe to the fact it does not bend.
If he wore the real pauldrons with the fake brigandine... I don't think there would be a way to tell. I think the studs bend a little on the fake one, so you can see a difference in how the light reflects... But if you don't already suspect it may be fake i don't think you can tell.
Yeah, it's very noticeable. Once you have seen it you notice it every time he changes brigandines.
Shads brigandine looks like shit. More Hollywood than real. And those floppy wide trousers make it totally fantasy. Don't understand me wrong, I think he's a great guy. It's just the armour. The proportions are totally off the scale.
Right. Next he'll be telling us that his castle was fake the whole time.
XDXDXDXD
I-it looks fake
Look at the armor.... is it real?... no it's not, it's foam... look over there... what's that? That's a castle. Wrong again, it's a green screen. Look how I roll it up out of the way. See behind it? That's my archery range. Or, is it? No it's not. That's my armor stand. But I'm not standing.... I'm on a horse.
_wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-whistle!_
"How many of you have noticed that the castle has been replaced by an actual stone construct in this video?"
What?!?
oh gosh now you'll probably tell me that the castle is just a facade too..
did you see the video where he plans on building three full-sized fake castles in the shadlands with polyfoam?
This is the medieval community's version of the hyper realistic cake meme.
Little did you know, he was wearing cake the whole time XD
I'd be a liar if I didn't tell you that I cursed as loud as possible when you told me that brigandine you had been wearing was fake. I've been tricked. I've been deceived... and I've quite possibly been bamboozled.
I had the thought process of "Hey he's talking about fake armour, it'd be pretty neat if he was wearing a fake brigantine" But I didn't really know enough to assume it was
I was shocked to the core
*points "I understood that reference!"
Lowkey having trust issues after the brigandine reveal. I didn't really see that coming.
I was like why is the brigantine the wrong colour?
First rule of stealth : people usually see what they expect to see, if something does not obviously differ from the norm, people will not look for it. You got me with the second test Shad.
This is amazing. I had just kind of "accepted" the fact that armor and larp would never be accessible to me because of my health issues, but now it is! I feel like I can dream again :')
You can also use much thinner metal for costume armor. One of my suits only weighs 15 lbs (6.8kg) the other advantage is it's more flexible than the real stuff.
Bruh I thought it was just photo shop I didn't know it was an actual physical set of inspired medieval armor
Same.
Next video; I've been using a polyurethane Shad puppet all along!!!
Shad will have ascended beyond humane knowledge.
That intro is hilarious
but also true
yea I almost died laughing
Indeed
It was quite tasteful indeed
It wasnt -__-
Shad admitting it was foe armor: You have fallen for one of the classic blunders!
Man of Culture...
faux(French is a silly language)
And, in fact, you'll notice the glasses I've been wearing are actually just frames...
And the beard is added while sitting in a makeup chair in Shad's dressing room.
@@Blondie42 i bet he decided to get children to have a squire help him dress up! Wanna play knight with daddy?
That brigandine twist blew my mind, so I guess I did get "gotcha"'d
Oh, light... I think we all did! Genius!
I didn’t even realized that the briganden was fake, I was completely focused on the plate armor, I didn’t even noticed the bending on the pauldrons, until some people pointed out.
yes the right pauldron is the only problem
the bending pauldrons was for sure the giveaway for me. Other than that its perfect
Yeah the pauldron was the only thing that caught my attention too. But in the greenscreen segment, I couldn't tell when he switched back and forth. Speaking of, that was damn good editing. There were no seams at all. I watched multiple times to try and find where he was switching armor
He didn't rattle, which made me suspicious. For video and films it really does not matter as long as they take into account the low weight and don't hit it with a real weapon.
if the title was not about fake armor, and he just wear it casually like his other vides, i will never be able to tell
How I love seeing Shads progression over the years. The humor, the passion, the fun and the great ideas of conext that really is interesting, i think, to most viewers. Its always spot on and I keeping having a smile on my face after watching a video. All this while also learn new things in the meantime. Now THATS brilliant!
I had a feeling the brigandine was different due to the difference in noise when you moved but I assumed you had just had the edges padded inside or something to quiet it down. Would not have guessed it was foam.
The fake brigandine is really close but the pauldrons have this weird bend in it that makes it look weird so if you can send that to steel mastery so they can make the fake pauldrons a little stiffer I'm sure it would fool a lot more people
Maybe the pauldrons could be polioretane (or whatever this is written) mixed with Eva so it would bend more like a real brigandine
@@hdnfbp yes that could definitely work as a fix for sure practice swords are made out of polyurethane and it's a good substitute for metal if you want to make a rigid thing made to seem like metal
Agreed, the pauldrons have very noticeable flex. When Shad moved with the sword his right pauldron bend rather unnatural: 26:41
Hehe, stiff.
Shad’s own expressive personality is giving him away, observe closely his arm movements, he’s definitely more energetic when he’s wearing foam 😂
I swear, I thought that the brigadine you were wearing was a different legit one you purchased, because I saw a slightly different path on the metal dots but didn't suspect it was not metal
0:10
“Ladies, get your tongues back inside your mouths please”
Who said it was just the ladies? 🥵
'Bulge reserved only for wife' :(
I´m not wearing a codpiece today.
"please resheath your swords"
well shad's a mormon so
My short sword just turned into a great sword
Shads neighbours: "Honey, the neighbour is wearing a metal armor now"
"Naah, that's a faux armor."
I completely believed it was the actual thing, and the thought it was fake never came to mine.
I jokingly thought to myself, "He'll reveal the gambeson to be fake as well, won't he?". The reveal still surprised me!
Agreed, its only while moving in it that it shows itself much, as the slightly odd reflections could just be because the environment has inconsistent lighting.
The plate's finish looks good, and the brig... bloody hell its nearly identical, but looking at the shoulder on the brig as he swung the sword it was very apparent in how it creased something was off, sound (for video at least) is actually better in the fake, as it doesn't make that clink that is sometimes picked up by the mic, authentic as that is, and a few other times the flexibility suggests it is fake, as we have watched Shad in his real one enough to see he is either really on fire today, or fighting less resistance.
Overall bloody impressive stuff - perhaps a slight stiffening of the shoulder on the brig so it creases more like the heavy metal ones.
I thought the plate had a sort of odd, "soft" finish to it, but I thought that was just a choice. I still thought it was metal, though! It does look nice. Extremely convincing.
@@foldionepapyrus3441 yeah, personally I'd add some plastic plates for some rigidity. And unless you really get attacked by a long sword/bow, those plastic plates can also give some protection
@@guiorgy Possibly better protection than steel for LARP HEMA stuff - A few mm of HDPE will stop the penetration and flex quite alot absorbing much of the energy. Wouldn't choose HDPE over steel for real combat though - that same elastic softness that will deaden blows more than steel means it will take cuts and wear out pretty fast if you don't wrap it in kevlar or something.
I'm so glad that you partnered with them for this, if I ever get into LARP I'll have to get one of these brigandines from Steel Mastery.
The armor is for decoration because Shad skin is too strong to be pierce by any weapons.
Late Descendend of Siegfried
As his in Depth knowledge of Super Strength, Super Speed and Super Endurance shows, that he has them all.
His back pains from "wearing the armor" actually come carrying the complete historical Accuracy of RUclips by himself^^
So you are saying Shad is 'thick boy'?
Shad fact!
@@luzfire7523 This. Very, very much this.
Ahhh, a classic example of "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me"
Let me walk away in shame....
So. Many. Twists.
You got me, LITERALLY EVERY TIME
I'm interested in this for many reasons, but the main reason at the moment is I'm trying to become a knight based content creator as well as a medieval fantasy book writer, and the armour helps with that sort of thing. Thank you Shad, you and your channel is a blessing.
I love how this video is 50% sponsorship and 50% "did I fool you?"
Shad just dropped two back to back plot twists on us and we never saw it coming
This video was a mindfuck, especially when he kept switching between the real and fake brigandine
You could see the cuts of the video... but I was kinda expecting that he would say "no, I have cut the video, but this is still the fake one - gotcha!".
That non-metal brigandine is INSANE. You got me totaly
When it came down to the brigandine, I knew *something* was off but couldn't quite put my finger on it
I caught on when you played the music
The position of the silver spots in relation to the straps is what gave it away for me once he started changing back and forth
Those shoulders also seem very floppy.
For me, I noticed the brigandine was a bit different from what Shad normally wears. The music is what gave it away for me, too.
The noise the metal plates make is pretty noticeable when he moves quickly, but I only noticed that in retrospect
@@averywhitaker3513 yeah, the eva one is kinda squeaky too (but not as much as the full "plate" one. That one is squeak hell).
Me: "Shad looks like he's getting a lot more comfortable in his brig!"
Shad: "it's non-metal!"
Me: ......but Shad make clankie clank noises...
I was actually just thinking about how he looks big and scary enough to throw someone into the oubliette with that on.
@@darkskyinwinter kind of terrible that Honorguard has one of those.
Clank noises? Roger roger
This is true and this is how I identify good armour, the more clank the stronger I don't know why that's how I identify it
Just imagine being a bill collector, approaching the house and seeing Shad twirling a sword or two "in your general direction".
Yeah... better come back another day
The finish is amazing for sure. The shape is not awful but it could still be improved if they spent more time looking at the sources. A fully authentically-shaped armour of this type would be wonderful.
"huh, the armour's really quiet today wonder if something's up with tha" *Dramatic violin starts playing* "ah there it is"
When talking about film especially, this kind of armour could be especially interesting for stunt performers because of the added flexibility, lighter weight and and it being more affordable thus being less painful to have damaged.
Not to mention you could easily include rigid pads inside more expensive suits/stunt suits, so that the movement is right, and even more protection for the performer.
Not could, is
Lighter, more flexible and affordable than what? Authentic looking steel armour is totally unheard of in film. Most costume armour even for lead actors in big budget movies looks even worse than Shad's armour (which looks terrible.) and is made of soft, synthetic materials already. Has been for over 100 years.
Costumes mass produced for the general public aren't at the forefront of synthetic costume technology. You're going to see much more advanced stuff happening on 200 million dollar film productions. We aren't getting the best of it and we never will, not unless we do it ourselves or buy custom.
@@7dayspking so you're both saying that big budget costumes look way worse than what is shown here but also that big budget stuff will always look better than what a consumer could purchase? Of course, outfitting every main character with an authentic suit of armour worth multiple grands is not economic within a movie budget and thus cheaper alternatives are sought. My argument is that what shad has presented looks miles better than most stuff I have come across in cinema and by it's more affordable and flexible nature as opposed to steel could make for a valid alternative to film makers interested in historical accuracy.
@@galumir I said you're going to see more advanced 'stuff happening with costumes' referring to materials, production techniques and costs. I was referring to work custom done for film productions. Not the mass produced, decades old costumes they often rent in bulk for film.
This synthetic armor of Shad's costs nearly 'multiple of grands'. It isn't affordable. It costs about the same as a low end historical medieval battle kit, think on that for a second.
Now every Shadiversity video will be a game of 'figure out which brigandine Shad is wearing.'
rn hand sewing a pleated skirt made of tough canvas like material, your videos have made this much more bearable, thanks shad
I was very much fooled by the Brigandine😂 Now when he wears brigandine, I’m just gonna constantly question whether he’s wearing the real one or not.
when you hear 200 orcs in metal comming. then it is the real one. when you hear nothing and think some assasis can kill you then it is the fake one
The real one's a tighter fit, it curves in a bit more under the arms and hips. Also I think the heads on the studs are a bit larger. That's all I got for telling it apart from the fake one. Now that I know to look for a fake, it's somewhat easier to tell.
The foam pauldrons are the real key. They don't have the curved edge in the front and are bigger (covering slightly more area) because they can flex. (And thus not becoming inhibiting despite the larger size.) The down side is that the foam or Dragon skin(love that, although usually when you fight them you look for the gap between the scales to penetrate the skin... but I trust Shad.) It still holds its bent form slightly, since it is not a rigid material like metal. I think its an issue, although still convincing to unsuspecting persons (me) despite its obviously odd look.
@@sthiel126 Yeah, noticed this too. Once you know to look for it, you can tell the fake from the real by the pauldrons flexing when he moves with the fake version.
I propose that this new product be named:
"the sham-iversity brigandine."
Its not even april fools day and yet... I've been bamboozled!
The difference between the real Brigandine armour and the larp is the size of the metal studs and how far apart they are to each other. The real armour studs are bigger and closer then the larp armour. Although i didn't notice until you said it was fake at the beginning, truly amazing stuff!
9:10 Shad: "How many of you were able to tell this is fake?"
me, watching on smartphone, with crappy internet, in 240p resolution: (o.O)
👌
I do realized, but even with hd it was mostly a deduction lol
f
Ha! Peasant, i'm watching on glorious 360p! Lol
The only thing I noticed was the shoulder pauldrons I was like “huh looks a little different “ but that thing looks soooooo good
Yeah! Everytime he switched i was able to tell the difference because the pauldrons are too smooth in the fake armor..
Yeah, and the sound it makes when u move
The pauldrens bothered me from the beginning, but I had no idea why until he explained it. So Shad, if you see this, pass on that the pauldrens need a little bit of work, but everything else is great.
Same! I thought they looked different but I didn't think they were fake until right before he mentioned it.
Can someon look at 4:02 for me, I think there is a cut in the video
How many other people went back during the interjection to make sure Shad didn't MAGICALLY switch the brigandine?
Oh, I went back and forth a few times! :D
When did you think he do that
@@germainsimada7591 I don't know and went back more than 12 times literally and gave up
The editing skill on that is movie production level
The velvet lays on the plate different than it does on the faux set. I can tell when he switches but only because the pauldrons give it away.
I was able to tell based on the color. The faux one is a lighter maroon.
I was fooled, I watch your videos as I'm learning of most of these things for the first time (: I love them, it's a new sort of interest for me. Medieval times, and the reality of things as they were... Thanks, for being here, Shad! Best wishes
Now all those movie stab scenes, where swords go through seemingly solid metal armour, make a lot more sense ;o
9:26 thought something was off when I couldn't hear that beautiful clanking
I love the enthusiasm you have for this stuff. It's nice to see someone talking passionately about a cherished subject.
Shad has officially gone 4 parallel universes ahead of all of us.
I'm low-key proud of my ability to discern Shad's brigandines, I noticed it quite early, gotcha =)
However, I never looked on the greaves
Also, EVA Foam is what cosplayers use in crafting a lot of elements, from boots to weapons
And I didn't know much about Shad's health problems. I can relate to this so much. The point about accessibility is an important one
I’m just imagining Wrymwick considering a sponsor for Chad and then hearing the forty different pronunciations of them throughout the video and going “we’ll need to work on that a bit...”
So annoying when any youtuber repeats different versions of the name they are not sure about but not bothering to learn the name of your sponsor? Damn, I expected better.
Ladies? I think the boys are as taken by Shad in that armor. Very dashing.
ATTENTION BROTHER!!! I have two very very sweet girlfriends who I show off (I smell like 100 not-alive orangutans oh nooo) in my perfectly great videos that most people consider to be the reason of life! Thank you for you attention, dear dude kid jenn
No Shad practices chivalry would be loyal to his wife
@@AxxLAfriku You... I've seen you before... Not to knock your creativity down, but.. *man that's cringe!*
Let's be honest:
They may be fake, but we all want one XD.
I'd rather just complain about it not being authentic enough until finally I have enough money saved to get one and then I'll just pretend like I was never serious about my criticisms.
I want one!!
Maybe if they made better looking models and didn't cost as much as functional and more authentic looking steel alternatives. That goes for both his steel and synthetic armour.
You might want to mention, the old way of making limemhad the added benefit of being water esistant.
I saw an SCA reenactor who used the thick blue plastic, from a 55 gallon drum, to make his armor. It was a brigandine like armor, reaching below his knees. He wore a sheepskin(complete with a thick layer of wool) undercoat beneath it. He said he made it due to costs. He also said it was very effective
I don't know if it would protect against peircing, but, it stopped slashes and blunt strikes.
The only “tell” for me was some lack of rigidity in the pauldron edges for the new brigandine. Looks great!
Exactly. Once I was looking for it, the flexibility of the pauldrons was the only tell. Either of these would be sick for Halloween lol
Same. Looks phenomenal
Yeah theres that and the fabric on the fake is more flush to the front whereas the metal one has slight buckling towards the center. (best seen in the interjection when he switches)
Yeah other than the pauldrons it's basically identical
Shad wears armour for his videos because he's out here battling the algorithm.
Shad Fact: Shad claims all of his armour is fake to hide the fact he has the strength of 1000 dragons.
Rumour is that while wearing his armor you will survive a kick from Chuck Norris.
Gotcha!
And I didn't notice the faux armor, but I actually DID notice your brigandine "pauldrons" being slightly different and was wondering about that! Great video Shad!
I really like how the armor looks realistically imperfect if that makes sense lol. It really looks like an armourer made it. The surface looks like hammered metal, particularly on the breastplate
Shad: "There's a good reason to use fake armor."
Me: "Fashion!"
Shad: "Reenactment."
Me: "o-Oh, right yeah."
Petition to make real and fake armour the 2021 fashion hit

We'll look so silly and so awesome at the same time
Fake armor is for commoners. I'm no commoner, I'm a !!!DRAGON!!!. Only the best enchanted plate is worthy of me.
I felt like the shoulders bent oddly but I never thought that the brigandine was!
That's the most notable thing, if the EVA shoulders catch they bend, the metal will not
Yeah i noticed the shoulder bending too but o tought its just bad lighting or the metal plates in there can move like that.
@@gurthangorcus he should not have tightened the straps that much, it would not have happened
I am not going to say I knew it was fake... I just thought his shoulders didn't fit right.
Same. I thought it was just those, not just the whole set.
Sorry to hear about your health still being an issue. Lovely content, and lovely armor. It's good to see how far the technology leapt!
I hath been taken for a fool!
verily
@@matthiuskoenig3378 😂
Indeed, as I believe most people have. Shad has fooled us well.
Verily, I too am foolish
@@connorg.3381 We are all foolish in the innermost caverns of our hearts, but together we are more. We are a foolish comment thread!
Once you pointed it out, I was able to spot a small difference in the two brigandine armors;, the faux brigandine pauldrons flex a little bit more, creating a divot where the arm straps are attached that isn't present in the steel version.
Is it this: 26:10? I'm asking cause it's a bit hard for me to tell
@@arcticdino1650 It was basically from the moment he first revealed he was wearing the fake brigandine I noticed it, particularly on his right pauldron.
@@khodexus4963 Before he revealed it to be fake I was getting suspicious of the armor. I noticed that he was acting rather bouncy & his armor looked slightly less snug/stiff. The moment he began talking about the possibility of making a fake one I knew it.
@@rustedcake879 Yeah, I started to get suspicious around then too. But I didn't really know for sure until he pointed it out, and I was able to pick out that detail on the pauldron. It's close, but not perfect.
I have no doubt Wyrmwick is about to receive a boom in business.
I already bought something XD
Yes absolutely was fooled, and this seems amazing for *most* situations where one would want to wear medieval armor of any kind. As you alluded to, to be "completely historically accurate" in a re-enactment, you'd have to live the re-enactment far more than just when you show up for the weekend, actually training like a medieval soldier, and who can do that? This opens up the enjoyment of *aesthetically* accurate armor to a much broader range of people in cost and more importantly physical capability.
"Shad is walking across the screen He is dressed in fabulous *studded* armor"

@@enricobaschenis4257 ...

It is actually studded armor as there aren't any plates under there it is the "fake" one

Shad: “Let’s test that, shall we?”
I read Shad’s part in Drinker’s Voice.
@@dolphinslayr Okay, now you've got me imagining that, too! LOL

I have chronic fatigue too and I can't even imagine doing half the stuff you do for these videos, it's hard for me to even get out of bed for more than a couple hours a day, kind of an inspiration to see you overcome it for these videos you do. Is it appropriate to ask what surgery you got? if anything could make it better for me that could honestly be life changing
"Seriously, you will be fooled!"
Oh I hate this kind of click bait! It's like a mobile ad, seriously I---- *got fooled.*
You have fooled yourself by not believing
Not gonna lie, that brig+plate arms look is pretty dope.

SHAD: You see that dragon over there?
P O L Y U R E T H A N E!
I did notice some weirdness with the pauldron flexibility on the faux armor, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Until you showed the difference, the lateral flexibility gives it away. I think it’s because the bicep strap makes the pauldron bend when the arm is flexed. I would recommend that they add some lateral supports to hinder that.
“Gotcha!” for the algorithm. God, I wish money wasn’t tight these days, I would throw so much money at Wyrmwic.
Yeah if I didn't need to eat healthy I'd live off of ramon just to save up for a suit or ten.
Imagine what the filmmakers can do with this kind of stuff.
We can have historical movies that actually look historical, and actors won't have to die from fatigue.
I think what they can do is keep metal sets of armors for the main actors in close up shots only, and give everyone fake armor in distance shots. This kind of thing happened in the original star wars, where most of the Stormtrooper was stunt armor and made from low quality milk carton plastic, while they made a few sets of "hero" armor that was a higher quality that Luke and Han wear as well as other Stormtroopers in close up shots.
@@MistahFox That's an option.
Another issue is that wearing props probably needs some training to imitate the weight properly.
I mean, Shad's not moving very much in this video, but when in combat attentive people will probably notice when an actor jumps as if he/she is wearing a pajama.
exactly the point i was going to make. this will drive the cost down aswell as increase demand for extras a lot more. we'll have large real battles in movies again not just cgi. and when it comes to cgi, they can still use it for the effects. in turn this will also drive the cost down since there'll be little to edit and be computer generated.
as for larp, it will be full of Sirs now and not just peasants. man, if only covid be gone now. it'll be amazing to be in medieval conventions. full of knight orders wearing these.
As though Hollywood would actually do that.
@@Skyblade12 as if hollywood is the only one making films.
*We've been tricked, backstabbed and quite possibly bamboozled.*
I wanted to comment the same thing.
shotgun!
@@octomanuno2700 thank you.... so much
@@theredshift180sx You needed that eh?
@@octomanuno2700 I haven't seen an rvb reference in the wild in like a year
When you switched to green screen, I was able to tell about the brigandine switched partly because of the frame cutoff and partly because they have a slight difference in hue and stud appearance (at least on camera).
I gotta say, this gives me a lot of hope that I can eventually afford a set that I can wear rather than hopelessly browse websites with several-thousand-dollar pieces. Thank you for sharing this!
At this point, every time there is a cut, I expect the brigandines to be switched.
OH MY GOD SOMEONE FINALLY PUT IT INTO WORDS!
Gotta say, I did notice that something looked “off” about the pauldrons whenever you were wearing the fake brigandine.
Yes the pauldrons had a slight bend towards the lower parts. I suggest plastic backing or plastic between the fabric and the foam to help with a more rigid look.
The sound is what gives it away, at first I was like “oh, I guess shad finally found a place were his mike doesn’t pick up the clank of that bring” then you can hear a little clink on the green screen and I was like “did he switch back >.> “ but both the faux suits look great! I do wish the breastplate and placard were two separate pieces and the back plate had lames to match the front.
