Realistic lightsaber battle

submitted by noims

3 years 1 week ago

Lightsaber battles in the Star Wars films are all style over substance, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

In a real sword fight there are several stages that you go through, starting with tentatively feeling out how your opponent will act and react, even if you've fought them many times before. With as deadly a weapon as a lightsaber this is even more important. As they say, the loser of a knife fight bleeds out and dies on the street; the winner dies on the way to the hospital.

In this video a sword expert puts together what an actual lightsaber fight might look like, and the result is SFXed into a fun short film.

This description brought to you courtesy of the DGI Ronin 4G camera, which probably has the amazing feature of posting videos and writing descriptions while it's solving every problem known to cameramankind.

Phenomenal. Really enjoyed that.

But um, excuse me...

after ALL that stuff about making it realistic, HOW IN THE WORLD did they let the guy lay down on his back with the sword's "blade" resting across his stomach???

That aside, well done!
