Ranger's Apprentice: Double Knife Defense

- What is a Ranger to do when they are trapped against a sheer cliff, their bowstring is broken, and there's an angry axe man running at them? No-one really knows...
The "Ranger's Apprentice" book series is great fun, and being fans of the books, we decided to make a short Fan Film based on one of the funny conversations that takes place in the second book.
This is our first video that features so much dialogue but as well as being a great learning experience, it also turned out really well.
Fun fact! It was 40 degrees (104F) outside on the day that we shot the cliff-side fight scene. After bush-bashing for half an hour to get there. With all the camera gear. In long-sleeved tunics and cloaks... What a team!

Special thanks to John Flanagan for writing such a compelling universe with action, humor and great characters.
also I remember that you are using the EXACT lines as used in the book and in the exact order finally someone who does that
"Jump off the cliff, itll be a lot less messier that way"
My favorite quote of the series (not a joke)
Same
Best rangers apprentice video on the internet.
Glad you liked it!
Jeffertron Larsen I concur

Yup!!
Yes
That was amazing. At first, I thought this looked a little 'cringery', but you guys quickly recovered. I liked Gilans actor the best. Keep it up guys!
yes my thoughts exactly
The dialogue needs to be worked on but the physical movements are great
this deserves a million views the editing is EXPERTFUL and the fighting is so believable it's perfect
I remember reading that part in the book and thinking, "Why not just throw your throwing knife at the axeman? Or evade his slow heavy attacks and dart away from the cliff?" There are still more options left other than jumping off the cliff Gilan!
throwing your knife could probably work, even if they dodge you could pull the same move will did on the assassin in book 9 with your axe. dodging is harder though, if you every take a golf club or something and begin swinging it around you'll find the weight on the end really helps you build up momentum and slide into your next stroke.
Three years late, I completely agree with you. Even though the axeman has the length advantage, if he wants to preserve his own life you might be able to keep him at bay and circle around him to run away. Axes are surprisingly light so avoiding a heavy swing isn't something you can rely on, and the axeman could survive the throwing knife by deflecting, dodging, or just tanking it if it hits a nonlethal area. It could go either way, I feel the axeman has the advantage especially if he has a long dane axe, but the ranger has a fighting chance.
AND MY FRIEND SAID THIS WAS A SMALL FANDOM???
IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS 1000/10
lmaooo 0:43 something about how he just shot him like nothing was really funny. Well done guys!
The fact I found a random video of the guy who made the channel Built IRL who also worked with Hacksmith on making web shooters and such other crazy things on my feed out of nowhere is pretty damn cool. This is also encouraging to know he is an appreciator of John Flannagan's genius writing. On top of all that, this is three kids from seven years ago with nothing but the stuff in their folks kitchen junk drawers, a camera, and their imaginations with a couple costumes and props and they made a really short film with better storyboarding, choreography, and even acting better than todays hollywood level triple a films is impressive.
My favorite moment in the series getting such good treatment fills me with much joy.
I’m rereading the series and happened to watch this before getting to the part in the books, and got real excited when I did cause of you. What I’m trying to say here you guys did a really good job!
Cheers mate! Maybe I'm due another re-read too, it's been a while haha
Im quite impressed how you made the guy jump down the cliff xD
Surprisingly well done, I've seen many RA videos which are just really terrible and cringey to watch b this one is really good
1:38
just throws the sword 😂
The reason why I love this video is because you expect it to be kinda bad but it's actually really good.
Still my favorite Ranger‘s apprentice video on the internet. Very believable fighting and great acting on behalf of Gilan. I come back to this video every time I reread The Burning Bridge.
This is one of my favorite moments in the series, and I’m SO happy to see it as a video! Great job!
Even after 7 years it still as entertaining, yall should make another one or an entire series of short films, that would be great honestly
Hi guys, this video is the best about RA on the internet. Really, you have a talent or I don’t know what. You have good reaction and poise. And your videos about parcour and spoon wars - it’s nice. Sorry for my english, I’m not native speaker.
Hey, thanks! I'm glad you liked it and the other videos. Are you from the Netherlands?
No, I’m from Czech Republic.
Ha, no - we're from Australia! The reason I asked was that I know RA is very popular in the Netherlands.
Tidal Videos isnt John Flanagan from Australia
Leslie739 I'm from south Australia and I agree good vid😀
The fighting and editing is pretty amazing. Nice job with the music cuts too. I really like the way you jump between the picture they're painting and the conversation.
I watch this video every time I am in an Rangers apprentice mood. Listening to the audiobooks for about the third time now, read it ones or twice as well.
My favourite part of Gilan teaching boys to fight :D
Great re-enactment! awesome!
Amazing fight choreography!! it made it so believable! and great acting too. Wish there were more videos like these!
This is some of the best rangers content I've seen!
I bloody love this, great job guys
This was my favourite quote in the whole book great video and good acting. 👍👍
Good job guys, enjoyed the video. Whoever choreographed the fight scenes did really good too!
I really love this short movie. Gilan is my favorite character from the books.
Mine too!!!
This was HILARIOUS. Perfect. 🤣👏🏻👏🏻
I found this highly entertaining. I'm so glad someone decided to reenact this scene!
amazing choreography that pays homage to one of the greats of ya fiction. huge nostalgia bomb
Whoa I am honestly so impressed by the choreography and everything that went into this, my love for RA recently reared its head again and this has me grinning like an idiot.
This is seriously well done. It put a big grin on my face, thank you
flanagan would be proud
This was amazing and I think the only thing I would change is... Nothing! It was great!
Fabulously well done. 10/10.
Amazing guys, someone should give you $100 million to make the movie. You captured RA perfectly 😂
guys. this is awesome!! I love this book so much!! (I've read the series about 20 times and I'm not exaggerating!) this is by far the best RA video on the internet!! good job and I hope you make more RA vids like this !
Great work guys! Greetings from an experienced showfighter.
This makes me want to re-read the entire series
I love how you added the fight scene, even though we all know that a ranger would have won that in a matter of seconds. It was a really entertaining clip
Perfect transcription! I love the action cuts, they make it look so nice!
this was one of my favourite parts of the books and this video was definitely better than other RA videos random people make
Normally I don't like videos like these but this was so good
That conversation happened exactly the way I remember it amazing job!
Wow this is so good! I love it! The best RA video I've ever seen!
WAY TO GO! The actions look very convincing!
This is really nice, please make more Ranger's Apprentice videos!
This is so good! Please make a part 2
Super geeky and cool!
Love it!
I never tire of this clip
One of my favourite scenes! You guys did an amazing job of this, thanks for sharing it!
Everyone who read the books laught the dame hard as me probably, this is genius😂
I forgot how good that scene was
YES I love this scene so much!!! :) I love your video too!
Please do another!! Loved it
This is the best RA video I LOVE IT! Also who else 2020?
Dude! That was great! You could make a movie with those cinematics!
“Jump off the cliff” they say, forgetting that rangers are trained in climbing
Love this video it's my favourite part of the book
omg I just read this part in the book and I spit out my drink and now seeing it in a video is the most amazing thing 😂
This is surprisingly well done😅
First fandon video I see without the bad acting and bad tools, you guys did a great job
😂😂😂 I laughed so hard at this. Bravo guys!
Awesome guys!
i think this should be the official video for the franchise
Wow. You are like real rangers.
You Guys really have talent
That's fantastic, well done!
My only question is why not throw their throwing knive of the saxe knife but it’s my favorite part of the book
This is really well put together! Very fun! I think you really captured the feel of this conversation.
Awesome video man, I love the creativity. As a fan that's done some filmmaking myself, the book series is so awesome that I'd love to see it be made into a big-budget film like LOTR or Harry Potter. As long as they got the casting right I think it would be really cool.
I think they've planned it, but it kept getting delayed. ill go look up if we have some sort of scheduled month for release.
so, it was changed to a streamed series for when the pandemic was over, they had a release date but it's come and gone and we have no further news, so.... maybe?
Please, please do another scene! We would be very grateful if you would! Subscribed! :D
Surprisngly good guys, well done
Yesss! I remember this from Burning Bridge! This, and the book, is awesome! I'm on the 8th, currently.
Good to hear it! Enjoy reading the rest, they're all great.
@@TidalVideosThanks :D You guys should do more, maybe that Gathering scene from the Ruins of Gorlan where Gilan tries to beat Halt but Will ruins his attempt, or maybe that scene in the sixth book, where Malcom is commenting on Will and Horace's love of coffee.
I love this! Man, i wish there was a rangers apprentice movie
Oh my goodness this is the best thing ever 😂
I love RA
Please make more like this! :D
This is so good!!!!! AAHHH I love RA so much.
This is sooo well done!

This is both very entertaining and funny! The actors are very talented!
I am so impressed. This is amazing
You guys are so good!
Gilan, Horace, Will. I’m on the third book right now.
This was a bit rough around the edges but actually entertaining and done well
This is bloody brilliant 😲

Okay, is it just me, or was when he jumped off the cliff funny?
