Wow, that was great! They really had the moves down. Some serious time spent in choreography. Thanks stephw8.

The sound and FX were even more amazing than the choreography - though the ebb and flow of the fight worked really well. Amazing what you can do with a digital video camera and some serious editing skillz!

Great editing, no doubt, but there's also great camera handling and some great facial expressions. I didn't really think the ending flowed, but it was a good gag. It was a good place for it too. It would have been nice if there was some small thread that connected it with everything else though. The choreography was inspired and it was cut together extremely well. I sensed the intent with the location they chose: grandiose machinery puts you in the sense of being in one of the emperor's throne rooms. I totally hadn't expected the fight to turn out the way it did. Very entertaining. I've been watching it over and over. They must've practiced duelling a lot or have taken a fencing class or something. I was somewhat put off at first by the continuous one handed light saber hold of Michael's character, but enjoyed the pay-off with the punching. It's so much fun to watch!

Excellent job on the video. only thing i have to complain about, is that a coulpe of the moves felt a little slow, like when he reached back over his head. I liked the part where they were rolling over. and what software/programs did you use and where can i find them?

Wow! Amazing what you can do on a budget! Very entertaining.. you know as the fight progressed.. and since it looked "to the death" I wasn't sure if anyone was going to really die in the end.. I noticed when it was over.. I had my hands clinched and my palms were sweaty! haha.. very good..

Only regret, a minor issue, I was kinda hoping some of the props, background items got more involved in the fight.. e.g. a few tables/chairs/whatever cut up with the sabers. Nice touch on the leg slice!

Excellent in all aspects! Story, filming.. action, effects etc..

I liked how Michael Scott actualy knew how to use a weapon and used the correct stances and guards though it was kinda obvios for anyone who does bouting (for me i do it with broadswords) that Scott Micheal was showing off and wasnt realy trying for most of the fight though if i had taken my opponent out to make sure they were dead i would coup de-grace them

I came here to have a laugh at these guys. After seeing it though I can only offer them my respect. Sure it slowed down to much in places to slightly unrealistic levels but I have seen B-movies that were not near as good when it came to there fight scenes. I am sure that if these guys are in film school or something they would have got an A+ for this work.

I've done a lot of small sword and rapier/dagger choreography with pros here in Los Angeles. Truly, this was fun. You guys obviously worked hard on this. I really liked a lot of the camera angles, and the way you handled the comedy. However, I was *sure* that Dorkman losing his glasses was a turning point -- it was a misstep in the storytelling of the fight, methinks. However, I liked the pacing a lot. Very enjoyable!

4) You guys interested in re-doing episodes 1-3? I bet your stuff would be better than at least half the junk Lucas threw at us.
5) tiny nit-pick, I loved the ground combat, but I think the sabers bounced off the floor a couple times. Lightsabers would cut into it. But don't listen to me.
6) Awesome.

From a girl whose boyfriend fences and does swordplay as a hobby, honestly, the huge sweeping motions are great for romanticism and "cool" factor, but a well-placed eppe or saber with just a flick of the wrist could slit a throat. Small motions are best with an organic, metal blade. I realize that with lightsabers, there isn't the "bend" that metal blades have, so the motions would have to be bigger, but I would imagine one would try to keep his weapon across his torso at all times, so as not to have an embarassing and deadly injury.

That said, you boys are great! Extremely well-choreographed, good timing, a bit slow now and again, but that adds to the drama. Cute, too!

I really wish more girls did swordplay--it's hella cool.

This is definately one of the coolest things that i have seen done. I am even thinking of doing something like it myself but i know that it would just be a bad impression and nothing could match up to this!

I was like "That yellow lightsaber is so cool, Michael Scott is so cocky, he isn't going to win" then when Ryan went down i was like "wow...i am as good as predicting the future as miss cleo" and then when i seen the real ending i was like "AWESOME!"

theforce.net has some good tutorials on adding lightsaber effects, which can be done with Adobe Premier or Aftereffects (I'm familiar with the former method).

This movie was choreographed quite well with some creative twists. I'm guessing the guys in the clip have some experience handling swords.

I have to say that this is really god damn awesome. You can tell that they have both had atleast some sort of martial arts and/or fencing training. Moves as fluid as those are rarely seen done by your average Joe.

As to what software they used, I would have to give a educated guess or two. If they're really in to special effects, then they might have used After Effects. But from what I've seen and used I would say that they used AlamDV or EffectsLab DV, since those software produce effects just like this with the tools readily available, and they're pretty much designed to do lightsabers and muzzle flash effects. Ofcourse they can do a whole lot, but that would be my guess.

And btw, if you use EffectsLab DV or AlamDV this sort of thing isn't really hard at all, mainly just time consuming. stop by at www.fxhome.com, the software is pretty cheap, and really easy to use. Pretty much anyone can make those kind of effects, and with good quality. =)

Edit: Hm, they did use After Effects, info at their site. But that google videos one was made with AlamDv. And they didn't even have any formal MA training, I'm baffled by this fact. Kudos to you boys. =)

Ryans head nod as the saber goes through Dorkman is priceless. This fight is wicked pissah. Can't wait for the sequel in March.

Not exactly. This is and will always be the most successful self sift ever. The original poster was one of the two persons in the vid, and he self posted the vid. It was a good year until anyone noticed (IIRC it was because he person came back and sifted the followup to the piece). But enough good sifters (including myself) complained when the ban time came about losing the vid. From that point on it became Sifty's only one, and lets see it get top votes.

I for one have chosen to resist the ominous rise of a malevolent, oppressive botocracy and therefore refuse to upvote!

That was nerdtastic, the guy in black totally dominated that fight. Though realistically him being near sighted and all once his glasses broke his fighting skills would of suffered significantly, silly star wars fans.

And the only reason this video got so many votes is the same reason ukulele guy did: Fanboys.
Hit and run voters. That being said, I'd prefer that both videos be discarded and start over.

You guys are right. It´s silly. I was just only to put sifty in the spotlight he deserves and I figured it´d be a good way to blow the siftcash... I´ll stop now (maybe)
