these two guys made a lightsabre duel that just has to be watched, even on a small budget its easily as good as anything seen in SW.

Those guys make the best lightsaber battles. I'd just like to know how they come back to life and regenerate limbs.

That was fantastic! Better than their first flick.

The choreography here is better than anything in all six Star Wars movies and these guys need some sort of recognition. Granted, their acting, which wasn't bad, needs some work, but these guys should be working in Hollywood. The special effects for someone at their level of work was exceptional.

its amazing to think the special effects were done using some off the shelf compositing packages - I note thier lightsabre glows are far more controlled now.
The wall cutting scene is also well done, as its a mixture of real life and CGI cuts, buts its well shot.

My only complaint is that whilst the sabre fights are bloody brillant, thier physical punches and kicks lack weight, not sure how u get them to look better, its probably clever angles and WWE stuff

Actually, I think its not how they look but how the punches sound. Ironically, that's probably how they would sound, but for a movie, you need to add a little more "umphf" to it.

I know, I didnt read to much on thier web site but I wonder if it was for a film project or somthing at Uni, either way I expect it must lead to things in the film industry or somthing, maybe they will get cameos in the new SW TV series...

Hope they get more than a cameo.

I'm really impressed with how creative they have been these past two projects. It's not just the choreography that is impressive, but how they filmed it, the angles they used. Gotta have an eye for that kind of thing, and these guys have it.

And they're wearing street clothes!

Give these guys some money and raw materials, and I think something awesome can come out of it.

Makes you wonder how many artists there are out there that have ability, but no means.
