The evil dude has a promising career as a movie villain, especially when he grows a bit older... Giving me young Willem Dafoe vibes. Great work guys, pretty much the only entry that made me real sad in the end. Very decent VFX (probably one of if not the best this year), nice choreo and awesome performances by both fighters
Thank you so much. Henry (or villain) absolutely killed it (literally?). And both performers poured so much sweat into every training day leading up to the shoot. We appreciate you giving us a watch and a supportive comment. Again, thank you!
Awesome! Like y’all’s acting too well done!
I can't agree more! "The boys" (as we like to call them) were the best dudes I could have asked to collaborate with!
What? Seriously?
This is like high school theater class 😅
This is one of my favorites! I like the fact that the story is clear, and I can care about the characters.
I felt like I had lost all sense of the story by the time we got through post, and didn't know if it was clear or not, so thank you for saying so!
BTW, yours was superb! Good luck to you at the judging!
This is in sanely epic! The shot of the light saber going into Noah's hand and then you going up to his face was a fantastic shot!
That shot was super fun to design and execute. I'm glad I made it through the edit!
Thats one of my favorite parts! Other than when I die at the end! 😏😂
@@Jopofilms 10/10
Not the way I expected it to end. Very well done.
I'm glad it was surprising! That was the intent.
It's been super fun getting feedback on the story, 'cause I have watched through it more times than counting will allow, and felt like I had probably lost my sense good or bad! So thank you for saying something!
EXCELLENT! The script, the acting, the choreography, saber fx, cinematography, everything is absolutely superb. Often times attempts at dialogue in star wars short films comes off cheesy but I was genuinely invested in these two characters. Both actors really made me care but the evil brother really stands out.
The dialogue was one of the things that evolved at every stage of this project. So I am thrilled to hear that you thought it was authentic! Thank you! And thanks for watching!
@@Jopofilms How long did it take you to shoot this?
@@ELBC97 we shot over the course of three days, however choreography and planning was started months beforehand.
@@Jopofilms That's almost what I figured. I throw my choreography together in the moment but yours looks well practiced. I love hearing how other creators make their duels, thank you!
Great job with the costumes, they look great! The Poling/Swet "Alliance," always comes out with some bangers!
Thank you! I'm glad you're a fan! We had a bit of a different team taking the lead this time (myself included). So as humbly as I can... I say we knocked out an awesome entry. I'm super proud of everyone who worked on this one!
That was awesome! 👏 very well made
Thanks Bogdan! Too bad you and I couldn't make another entry this year 😂
Thank you for watching! You are awesome!
PHENOMENAL❤
This is kinda cool! I really like the part with the force 👩🏼💻
Thank you! We debated about how much our characters should rely on the force, and I hope we struck a good "realistic" balance.
Ayo that’s legit!
Don't trust anything you see on the Internet 🤨
This was really cool! Intensity, effects, acting, even some script points, phrases - all these elevate a rather usual story to a new level!
PS. Personally I'm not really a fan of using armlets to block and catch and even pull lightsabers this much, but it was well executed and overall choreography is nice!
Thank you for your positive comment!
I can see your point, we may have leaned into the arm guard gimmick a bit too hard. 🤷🏻♂️
@@Jopofilms still it looks rather fresh for lightsaber choreography, so that's good!
Yo! This is awesome!! The choreography was so cool, definitely one of the best I’ve seen. Great job everyone who took part. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! I'm so proud of the team!
This is awesome! Hope to see you make more of these. Perhaps the story will continue?
Thank you! But gosh! I didn't even think about a sequel. My thoughts are spinning so hard right now.
@@Jopofilms There's lots of possibilities with a story like this!
Man alive: Fantastic job!! That last part is really emotional!
That was the goal!
Yes! 😥😭 So happy with how it turned out! Our team was incredible!
Deep🔥👌🥶🥵
🎉📽️
Your costumes are top tier. Yours stands out because you give us a reason to care who wins.
Thank you! That means a lot to me, and the team. Just curious, which character did you want to win?
@@Jopofilms I was going for Red and White because his costume was dope. (Was it suggesting they worked for the Sith Eternal Empire?)
@@Jopofilms In my opinion you guys deserve 2nd place.
Nice! You know... I'm actually terrible with Star Wars lore, so... We probably were but there's no telling haha. (Researching)
Great. Top 3 for sure.
You're too kind! A body can hope!
Yo! Nice work. Prolly one of the best saber comps ive seen!!
Thank you! That means a lot!
Thanks Ben! Glad you liked it! 🤙
That’s awesome.
You're awesome 😎👍
love this, great job guys
Thank you!
🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥
🧯👨🚒
In every way this was incredibly well executed!
Thank you! We are by no means done learning how to do even better, but I'm glad we successfully overcame the challenges this project presented.
This was beautifully done. I love how the good one is taunted by the evil one and then for a second, he uses the red saber before letting it go. THIS IS REAL STAR WARS. The type Lucas intended. The choreo was amazing, the camera and sound was great, and the ending had me senttttt. Good job.
1:39 vfx goof up with the lightsaber colors
You're so right! First time I've seen it haha. Good eye!
@@Jopofilms lol call it eye of a perfectionist, I'm terrible for picking out mistakes in movies too
Top Star Wars short I’ve ever seen. Cheers to the talent and all of the film crew
Very impressive! Original use of some lightsaber effects, good shots and angles, engaging dialogue that was convincing (oftentimes fan films are cringe with the script l, but this was really good!). The choreography and stunts were on point, too! The hand-to-hand looked great (coming from a 17-year martial artist), and I loved the sound design and score too! Great job!
Thank you! That means a lot to the team and I!
Congratulations on 2nd place.
You guys deserve an Oscar for your acting performances
Nice acting I must say!
Thank you so much! Our leads had a ton of fun, getting into character!
always great when the actors are into the rolls !@@Jopofilms
Cheese and rice this was awesome! 🔥KKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH
DDDDSSSSHHH
VROOOOOM VROOOOOM!
SHEEEAOWWW SCADOOOOSH!
Ooh, I did not see that ending coming.
I did really enjoy this fan film! I do think that a sequal should be done. Now that his brother is dead, I feel it would be coolt further delve into the other character. He has killed his brother and I feel there is some regret o it. How does this character change? How does he develop? Will he follow in his brothers footsteps? Will he kill his father? I think this short film has a lot of potential! Keep going! Love your work.
Was this inspired by Arcan and Thexan from the SWTOR trailers? Cause I see the resemblance and I love it for how different and similar they are. Great choreo and special effects, great story. Love it!
Yes! The Sacrifice trailer definitely inspired us! I didn't know the names of the characters though, so that's cool!
Fantastic:)
Soooo good! My mouth was hanging open at the end. Excellently done!
Thank you so much!
Wow, nice ending. Deaths are so hard to pull of well. Good work.
Absolutely brilliant!!! It seems like fans are the only ones that make good Star Wars content anymore!!! I love this!!! Can't wait to see what the future of your work brings!!! Anyway, I am a fan for life!!!
Thank you so much!
I think that story should be king, and recently D+ content creators have forgotten that.
This was awesome. Great work, guys. Also, was this filmed at Farragut State Park?
Haha. Close, Farragut is about a 40mins drive.
😊😊
🎭
love it!
I'd love to know when this film is set in the SW chronology!
это было очень хорошо
nice name btw Zaandar ;) xD
Thank you! Chat GPT helped with that one!
What are those gauntlets made of?! I want some lol
100% genuine cortosis!
😢
🎬
Estos yedi d ahora se ven tan pariguayos jajajaja
Why do all these films take place in the woods?
Haha. I've often wondered the same thing, yet here we are.
