I rather like when the judges post their reviews publicly. Most of the time, I see the advice and reviews for other entries and apply it to myself. But if you'd rather not, I'm up for the PM for Whiteley's video.

Weeeelllll... if it's ok with Whiteley I can post a more in-depth look, but only because it's one of my top trois, and it would analyze the film as a whole, not just choreo.
Distracted Laz is... distracted.
It's ok with me. Though maybe after the contest is over and the other reviews are up. Thanks though.

I think your roto is a bit rushed though, which makes the 'sabers look like they're doing some things (like switching from one side of your body to the other) faster than they are, which adds to this looking a little unnatural.
Hm...I didn't find any, maybe I missed them. Where are they, I'll fix them. Thanks for your comments dude, I watched your lightsaber fights on youtube, pretty sweet man.

Either thread would be fine. Just not both of them as I'm sure that is consider spamming.

Might as well stick with this thread to keep the reviews with all the others. Best leave the other for the judges responses. Still waiting for all of those for everyone elses.

Just cause they keep asking and I do really want to review them here it is:
12th Entry - Whiteley79
0:20 I would had liked another CU of Shane (white shirt) just as there was of Eric (black shirt) before the sequence of the lightsabers going down in the ready happened.
0:30 I always love how Eric uses his strength over Shane's speed.
0:33 Reminded me of Harry Potter vs. Dementor in Order of the Phoenix. Even the lightening is sort of the same.
0:35 The cut though, is sort of weird.
0:39 Nice speedy kick from Shane. Again, these fighters are really playing to their strengths.
0:41 Slick
0:50 The cinematography/cut really hurts this move, can't really see it. The shot is not selling it.
0:55 Ooo! This, too me was the most surprising and well-played out move. I really felt the hit Shane took. When someone is his unexpectedly like that it really hurts. Vidina said something about "nothing new" well quite frankly this is something I've never seen before and it was pulled of extremely well. Eric is really dueling a smart duel. Making his opponent miss and then attack. Also I love how afterward there isn't some long pause where you guys are staring each other down, you guys just go right back into it.
0:59 Not a very good move. I've never liked that move ever since I saw it in RvD when Ryan did it to Dorkman, it's just impractical.
0:59 - 1:08 Some really good choreography that is trashed by the cinematography. What you need to remember is that the camera sells the choreography.
1:11 Ooooooo Eric's saber is behind Shane's, this would be a pretty instant kill but then in the next cut Eric's saber is in front of Shane's. Mmmm? You can't fool me 
1:15 This didn't really work for me. Don't completely understand why he's getting up like that.
General Comment: I really need some sound. That's also hurting the entry for me a bit. It just feels to quiet but you guys are having a pretty hard duel.
General Comment: I really can't believe you pull off the strong guy vs. speed guy so well. I would think the speedy guy would just win out so easy but he really cant be stopped.
1:41 Weird cut
1:43 Eric is in front of the move. Can't really see it. Again cinematography hurting choreography. A way to remedy this would have been to get a left-profile angle on Shane as this was all happening.
1:45 I like the kill shot too
1:56 - 2:06 Andrew Kramer Tutorial 8
Setting: Liked the setting. Reminded me of Order of the Phoenix. Not much could have been used but of what was used was good.
Editing: Alright, there was a few sloppy moments.
Visual Effects: None that I could see.
Choreography: This is the strongest point of the entry but it was tarnished by the cinematography. Think of it like this. If the greatest bit of choreography was going but the camera was shooting at a tree, away from the action, no one would see it. Same with if a character is in front of a bit of choreography we can't see. Or if the choreography just doesn't look as good without an appropriate cut.
Overall: I think your entry last year was a bit better. Still like this one though but it just felt rough around the edges and I had to dig in to find the nice squishy goodness (yeah I have no idea what kind of metaphor that was supposed to be). Anyways, I really do like the speedster vs. the strong brute. You guys do very well with this. My favorite bit of choreography is in this entry. That would be 0:55. Keep it up guys, can't wait to see what you have next year (hehe).
