Just watched this guys, awesome, awesome job. Seen it once, gonna watch it another five times or so in a sec. I loved the part where Dorkman tries to slam Ryan into the sabers on the wall, and man, the end was brutal.

I really enjoyed this film. The presentation and effects were jaw-dropping.

Any chance for a decent quality quicktime file? My computer has a wicked hard time dealing with HD videos. They lag like crazy. I have a pretty good computer, so I don't know why it lags, but still, I'd love a decent quality file to save so I don't have to go online every time.

I REALLY like the "twistaround" shot at 2.17-ish where you guys twist around your sabers, shot as a medium longshot down that dark 'hallway' of wierd catwalk machinery stuff.

Now see, thats my favorite. And thats me with my back to the wall across from them with a vat of raw corn steeping in lime juice right in front me. Hot, smelly corn. But man, it works to blow out at that moment.

Okay, smelly corn. Maybe I need to modify the lyrics I posted a few posts up, then? wink

(I hope someone took the time to read those since I put some actual thought into teh parody)

Ryan and/or Michael, would it be too much to ask of you to post pics of your hilts with the fiber-rods in them? I'm really curious on how they look, and how thick. Everyone I've asked just tells me to read about them. But I relly want pictures so I can see.

I cut my finger. That's tragedy. A man walks into an open sewer and dies. That's comedy.

Now i've watched it a couple times there's so much to appreciate, and the move at the end where Ryan lets go of the saber and changes hands is really clever.

I probably shouldn't post this as some web sites frown on people exploiting the whole "view source" feature of our web browsers but what the heck, you only live once. Here's a direct download link for the HD version of RvD2 in HD format from Stage6 itself.

Right-click and choose "Save Target As".

http://video.stage6.com/427387/1137289.divx



I'm sure if a mod does not want this link to be present, they will edit this post accordingly.

Even though it's file extension is .divx, I believe it will ultimately save as a .avi file, if not, who cares. You can rename it if you want.

Well done guys,

It's amazing the amount of detail which you put into this. I noticed pretty much everything

I liked the Reflection in the water and the lens flare at the tip of the saber handle on close-ups

also liked the subtle hints to RVD1

Awesome!!!!

The angles of the camera too is just like a proper movie :-0 Looks like u had loads of cameras but am I right in thinking you only had one?

Oh man... a lot (A LOT) of the choreography was extremly similar to what I was planning to do for our LCCV-entry. Like the grabbing each others hands-part for example - I was going to use that a lot for our entry, and we used it for The Clash too, but if we do it now, everyone will just say we ripped off RvD2 doh!
Great minds think alike I suppose... and ours as well!

Anyway. You guys definately know that I'm not really a fan of the first RvD. It's one of the better fan duels out there, absolutely - but it's nothing special, at least not choreography-wise. But this one, this one is a totally different matter.
Let me congratulate you on doing the fight that is everything The Duel in RotS should have been and wasn't.
The long take at the beginning really blew my mind. The one thing I've always liked about the first RvD was the long opening shot of fighting, but this one was SO much more impressive. Must've taken quite some time to get that right?
Also, I'm glad to see that you actually seem to have had your feet in mind while choreographing - also a step up from the original.
But the most impressive thing of all (choreography-wise at least) is the interaction with the enviroment. I love the whole slashing of the wall-part. Some really clever choreography there!
And of course, all the effects, the cinematography, the editing - nearly flawless. The one thing I have to complain about is that some of the punches and kicks doesn't look too real. But that's really a minor complaint.

All-in-all, this was actually the best lightsaber duel I've ever seen. Even surpassing the great Art of the Saber!
At least that's how I feel right now. Now, give me a few days to take it all in, and I'll start analyzing and critizising it wink

Great work you two..
stunning.. amazing.. absolutely great!

And... I've heard people say that they want a 3rd one in the not-so-far future..
but actually.. I don't.. if you're gonna make anything at all in the future then
I actually hope it's a movie instead of a short movie clip like this..


well anyways.. loved the pyro effects..

Yep, just one, baby, gotta get that coverage. It was a lot of fun to see scenes come together like the guys squaring back up for the last bit, it's shot much like a dialogue scene.
