- SaberComp is going since 2002. It brought people all around the world to make Lightsaber Fights. If it wasnt for this competion, our coach would never start doing lightsaber choreography, films and VFX. And this is our tribute to this amazing competition.
(Our film is filled with easter eggs to legendary Lightsaber Fights. Can u find them all?)
Created by HILT Fencing Academy.
Red Saber: Andrey Nikanorow
Blue Saber: Ivan Plotnikov
Yellow Saber: Anastasia Trefilova
Music from Matrix 4. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
A lot of people noticed bits of choreography and camera work from "Ryan vs Brandon" and they are right! This fan-film was made as a homage to oldschool LCC and SaberComp videos with guys in modern clothes fighting on parking lots :) Ryan him self was a judge on SaberComp 2022 and he liked our love letter to him. We at Hilt academy always make our own stuff. This one was intentionally filled with references in camera work and choreography bits. Thanks for watching!
Well good to know, Ryan is a pioneer in the concept of lightsaber choreography of the sort. I wish he would be backing you up here 😉
Is there a sequel where the lady fights him?
@@rockydavis94 next year)
cheers mate@@RussianSaberfighting
@@jCkD4Ni3L he is a busy guy. I tried to contact him after the comp. No success.
I have never seen someone wield a saberstaff so gracefully in my life. This is so good.
Oh thank you... It is so nice to hear :3
LCCX better with saberstaff
@@c-duodt5387 You mean Ferocity? Because LCCX - a name of the competition.
@@RussianSaberfighting yep yep sorry🤣 Ferocity is insane with saberstaff. I mean this guy was mind-blowing too, dont get me wrong. But Ferocity Lil better. Unfortunately I dont think I could reach this guy’s level
Well done!! This was fun to watch and visually is awesome.
My only nit pick is that you can see that there is no “danger” in this duel. The choreography seemed to be put together around flurries and showmanship rather than two combatants at tempting to gain an advantage and strike their opponent.
I look forward to seeing more in the future.
Agreed. This was a mesmerizing dance. I'd rather be convinced that these lads are in a fight.
As soon as it started I could tell they were aiming at the opponent's weapon
Thnk god i was not alone on this thought after reading gracefully wielding etc comments.
This is no "Fight" its just hitting each others blade or staff w/e
Well i'm no expert but i still have saber combat with my friends (even with ex-wife) not just hitting each other's sticks.. literally trying to hit/smash the opponent's head or wherever you can hit..
so all this.. too lacking in my opinion. and too slow too maybe its good for showmanship (even than i have seen better fights ) well ofc. better than nothing..
Indeed this is the case for many duels these days. It's not as entertaining as actually watching a fight
Well it was much better after the Jedi lost a Saber. That part was fantastic. I almost left the video early.
So Ivan (Blue) was very aggressive in his fighting, I was expecting his saber to turn purple during the fight from channeling his inner dark side. Great battle.
Aggression attacks dont automatically mean aggessive thoughts.
He used the Djem So or the Ataru, the Jedi Agressive lightsaver fighting forms.
This is giving Ryan vs Brandon 2 vibes.
Ever Heard about crystals inside the lightsabers ?
Lightsabers can’t just turn into another color, you gotta get a new kyber crystal for a different color
WAY better than everything seen in the Sequel Trilogy !!!!!
Dont say that. You'll hurt maREY sue Palatine's feelings😂
I like the omage to Ryan VS Brandon/Dorkman. The subtle references-The colors of the lightsabers, Blue for Ryan, Red for Brandon, and yellow for Dorkman, and also the reference to RVD 1, having the guy with the blue lightsaber get cut in the same spot as Ryan. And the not-so-subtle references, like the sneaky second lightsaber and changing to a double lightsaber mid-fight. Overall, it is also creative in it's own respect, separating it from Ryan Wieber's duels. Great work, Tyumen Saberfighting Academy!
yes!!! Immediately noticed the RVB and RVD stuff. Iconic.
They truly make it look like it is a LIGHT saber, weightless. Well done!
i like the twist where the good guy is the one being aggressive and whatnot rather than the bad guy
I can totally see the RvB2 points of inspiration, while you still make it your own. Most of the choreography is really great! I especially love your rapid-fire up-close bits. there are a handful of moments where it feels super slow but they are the exception, not the rule. cant wait to see the full piece!
Glad u enjoyed! This is a full piece. And we don't actually understand where it's going "super slow". Ivan and Andrey are ones of the fastest saberfighters in HILT. Maybe it's camera thing.
@@RussianSaberfighting the two points I noticed was around 2:43 and 4:45. note that it only feels super slow in comparison with what's around it it's still relatively fast-paced. there are other 'slow' bits but they feel intentional, like two masters casually probing each other's defenses.
on a careful rewatch I think you may have slowed the footage there for dramatic effect, but if you did it's hard to notice that it's going slow-mo (if it is) because the sound doesn't follow suit, so it just feels sloppy.
All in all, though, this is great and I will definitely be adding it to my shortlist. Can't wait to see your entry next year.
@@RussianSaberfighting also, the introduction of the character at the end is done really well, makes me sad I don't get to see the issuing duel.
@@commanderdreg aaah. U will see their duel) Next year))
@@RussianSaberfighting epic!
This was better than 90% of the fights in the movies
Especially the sequel trilogy.
The ones that Disny Made!
The exchange right after he cuts the “jedis” double bladed in half was insane
love that use of the factory fight music from matrix resurrections
amazing fight and choreography, one thing i will say though that's pretty interesting, its interesting how the Jedi is the one playing tricks and attempting to fight dirty and the Sith is patient and fights honourably.
I love the subtle callbacks to duels from the movies. I saw one that looked like it might have been from Phantom Menace, then Revenge of the Sith...excellent choreography and editing. Also love that The Force isn't really present in this duel. It's just people with lightsabers duking it out in style.
made with no budget but still a better choreographed scene than the throne room fight from TLJ
I love the closeup of the dual blade being locked into one staff - it's always the little things for me.
I appreciate that they choreographed references to Ryan VS Brandon 2 while still very much doing their own thing. This is very well done.
A far greater lightsaber duel than ANYTHING in the new trilogy...
Not a high bar to cross. Fat Star Wars Kid did it better than Jar Jar Abrahms.
Wow.... I mean the level of swordsmanship here is... impressive to say the least. Just fantastic.
The Darksynth/Electro thrown in toward the end may not fit the SW theme but it was certainly a nice touch. Well done dude.
Okay, no one said a single word and I am beyond invested in this. I would love to see more! The staff work was stunning and you could feel they were once close far better than the duel of brothers between Obi and Ani. Superb work.
So at least someone noticed the bond. Thank unso much for your review!
@@RussianSaberfightingI'm a little slow on the uptake, but I thought of that when I saw that even in defeat, Sith couldn't bring himself to kill the Jedi.
The new jedi survivor graphics look great
Can I just say, aside from the awesome choreography, I appreciate how you got the colors of the sabers just right. Often they'll be too red or the wrong shade of blue, etc. This is pretty much exactly what I think they should look like.
Edit: I also appreciate that the guy who sticks to just the single saber style is the most skilled, as opposed to the guy who tries to pull the double saber gimmick.
Way to dual wield without taking advantage of any of the benefits of dual wielding. With two weapons, the biggest advantages are:
You can attack faster by swinging one forward while the other weapon is still recovering, works best if the attacks come from different directions and/or have different targets
You can attack two locations at once so the enemy can't block both, ideally you want to swing for the head and the feet at the same time
Or you can attack while still having a weapon in reserve for defense
He pretty much exclusively attacked with both weapons and kept his weapons close enough to each other that his opponent could block both, completely negating all three of those advantages
Gold saber automatically means she's probably one of the greatest duelists, because that color crystal tends to gravitate towards those with intense martial talent, such as the Temple Guard. So you know she means business.
Always a pleasure to see your work from your first "unfinished" entry :D
This one keep pushing you up, great job !
This felt more like a dance than an actual fight. Impressive nonetheless.
dude with the beard should be part of a reenactment of Obi-Wan vs Maul and Savage. the hair drop at 4:12 and 4:15 made me think of when Obi-Wan kept focusing Savage's knee.
40k views! OMG! Thank u so much!!! So much more to come!
Amazing! You guys are crazy! Ambitious length and awesome quality throughout. Keep it up!
Can't wait for this. I love a good lightsaber duel
simply amazing!!
Congratulations on 2nd place, this was quite a competition
This is amazing, beautiful choreography, amazing editing, it just is the best.
AMAZING - two (youtube) guys in a parking garage produced a video that is 5x more entertaining than Disney / K.Kennedy ever did with STAR WARS - AMAZING
Thanks! I really appreciate that :)
Looks awesome! Choreography is on point
That was AWESOME!!!! Well done.
Wow! That was amazing!
Wow , they saved the awesome 2nd half for last. These guys MUST study Kenjutsu or are the most dedicated LARP layers to ever exist. Obi Wan vs. Darth Maul eat your hearts out.
We are proffesional fencers and martial artists. :)
I want to see a part 2.
Amazing!
Damn dude that is awesome! Definitely my favorite thing you’ve made. Great work :)
;) Thx!
That type of yellow is my favorite
Awesome !
YO. SMOOTHEST DUEL I EVER DONE DIDDLY DARN DID SEE
You're an absolute Chad with the staff. It's hard to make that look so good.
Oh, thank u ❤
Well performed. And I love the added matrix soundtrack
Well done!! Loved it!!
ooo this was really cool, i loved the shot where you could see the light sabers in their eyes ^^ very graceful and dramatic video
Well done. Well done indeed.
RESPECT
Great job! Nice one 👍🏽.
Really good work!
Loved this!!
Dope choreography as always !
Thx)
I'm such a geek...that's badass
Awesome 👌
Impressive... Most Impressive.
You guys are truly awesome
Thx! We already have so many cool projects to come! A Revan fan film for example. U can find a teaser for it on our channel :)
Legendary battle.
Very well done!
Hmmmm...no dialog but STILL better, more riveting than all 3 sequels combined...bravo!
Was good. Can't wait to see the gold saber battle
It’s like watching Ryan vs Dorkman 2 all over again.
That was such an amazing fight.
Thanks! :)
This fight is 🔥🔥🔥🖤
I just love how well the style of the person wielding the red lightsaber is done. Combining that with the very fast paced person with the blue saber and it makes for a visually stunning battle. Each little parry and block, you get the feeling these two have some kind of history and that maybe the red lightsaber guy has learnt that being a bit more measured and controlled (and solely practicing discipline with 1 lightsaber) can actually help him beat his opponent. Very talented actors and the clash of styles works beautifully - can’t wait for the sequel 👍
Brilliant... i have no other words
BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!!
Thank you!
@@RussianSaberfighting You are so Welcome
Sooooooo kewl!!!
Incredible skill and choreography! It’s like lightsaber forms Ataru vs Soresu.
I admire and respect your work here, choreography is amazing and all of you are crazy talented! Best wishes from Poland, keep it out there fans :)
Saw Ryan VS Brandon 2 for a minute there 😂❤ Had me like "Where have i seen that pose, that smile from--Oooooh!!"
That yellow/gold light saber was freaking awesome
3:50 Oh! That sequence is worthy of beating out many a duel-official or fan-made.
Wow.😲 This was very interesting. Good vid, I just subbed. 😊👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
we need a sequel!!
this battle was well done! and when the girl showed i was like DAAAAAAAMN!!!! LOL
ELECTRIC !
Wow, what a cool intro before the movie even starts!
i NEEEEEEEEEED a part 2 to this T_T
When the Sci fi TV show series online coming out, with fully supported and available store gear and outtakes and interviews
Epic!
Eeeepiiiicoooo 🤩🤩👍
That was great :)
Замечательная работа)
Disney should take notes!
Pretty good moves, but there's no heat in this.
Great Job guys. Love the coloring. Great sound. My personal prefrence is shorter fights. I would definetly love to know how ya guys filmed and edit. Great work
Can somebody hire these two guys to be in a Star Wars movie, please!!
irony of the jedi having an aggressive sith style while the sith having calm and collected jedi style
My man with the blue saber tho!!!! Killed it!
Thx! Ivan really appreciates that)
Imagine cars driving outside and looking and saying, "Whoa, those 2 dudes are having a lightsaber fight!".
I was honeslty rooting for the red saber, it felt like the blue saber was too cocky and had some underhanded tricks while red saber was calm and collected with an underdog attitude.
Nice; very fluid.
Very nice duel.
Now that is some Ryan vs Brandon 2 reference out here
Well done it’s an action packed Duel. I wonder if anyone was in the garage in the car or walking around and wondered what the heck was going on?
Good visual, and sound effects also. As I look at it, and actually reminds me of the Mustafar battle.
May the force be with you.
This is really cool I have a Twist Saber as well.
Wtf 😂😂😂 this is amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾
Really enjoyed this. My only real criticism is that while wielding his two blades separately, Blue didn't truly take advantage of having a weapon in each hand - he blocks with both rather than blocking with one while simultaneously attacking with the other (or blocks with one while the other is out of play), or uses both to attack high or low together rather than having one attack high while the other attacks low. This largely negates the advantage of dual wielding in the first place.
Other than that minor gripe (which can be applied to the vast majority of dual wielding work I've seen in similar videos), this was excellent work - the double-bladed saber segment in particular I thought was handled very well, with several alternating high-low attacks and Blue taking advantage of his greater leverage at 2:18. Again, I had a great time watching this.
More, please!!!
It will be done.)
I was actually rooting for the Sith kid here. Well done!
