OMFG! This is the best one yet! I saw RVSD 1 and 2 and I have to say this is total bad assness! This is going into my favs and I'm thumbs uping this one! GREAT WORK! Lucas should hire you!
That spinning camera at the end there was epic ha. Can't wait to see the end, Ryan has lost every battle so far. Good sport..Finally they brought a red saber into the picture.
Forgot to say that the person with TWO sabers is cool because he actually knows how to use two weapons simultaneously to good effect. Most people just hold two blades and use them the same as they would if they had only one weapon, a highly ineffective practice.
2:08 - 2:20 most badass and awesome part, when he was twisting around the 2 sabers, that was amazing, and i like the stance he went into when the 2 were parallel to each other, great video. amazing fighting skills, ryan and brandon (and dorkman) have my greatest respect
"A lightsaber, the weapon of a Jedi and a Sith tool. There is much craving in such a tiny thing of light. Be careful, a lightsaber does not make a Jedi or a Sith. In fact, it makes them much, much less than they are."
lol. Jeez, these guys look SO similar to Obi-Wan and Anakin. It's like the young version of Obi-Wan going against a less scarred Anakin. And damn, do I love it.
Wow, not bad. Ryan has improved his craft sinced the last few star war battles. Love the effects, The other guy was good also, There are a few things i would have changed in the fight scene to make it look more like a real fight. I would love to take on both Ryan and Brandon at the same time. I know it would be a cool battle.
Thanks a lot, we appreciate it! I had to edit the sound because the metal clashes from the props sound weird when in the final movie, so I removed the audio and added the soundtrack later. It not quite the same music, but it's from the same soundtrack.
I must remind myself NOT to make an enemy of Ryan, Brandon or Michael if lightsaber technology ever becomes available. I don't care if it's choreographed. It's still really good.
It`s amazing guys!!! I`m not wonder how did you make the lightsabers but how AMAZING were you fighting!!! Where have you been teched for such a movements???
To get the circling effect they must have had a cameraman on a flat bed trolley and then just pulled it around them while the were fighting, and then you can tell if you look at Brandon's shirt that they sped the footage up a bit.
I know that, but I thought it would be cool to come out with the FIRST full edited Ryan vs Brandon 2 video. I will also be working on the official one brought out by Ryan. Plus, it hones my skills with After Effects; I'm always open to that.
out of ryan dorkman and brandon, ryan is actually the best because he has perfected 3 styles of dueling, one swording, duel wielding, and the double saber. it takes alot of skill to master even one of those
I must have watched this video three or four times without realising that while Ryan is busy trying to pull his lightsaber back at 2:36, he's still fighting Brandon!
@winman2000 In the old days, yes. For RvD2 and RvB2 we use carbon fiber blades except for rare occasions, like 2 or 3 shots in the beginning of this one.
Ryan cool moves at 2:09 Brandon... breaks his damn saber again at 2:51!!! I have him on my friends at facebook I asked a few times but he is very busy right now. The Bit at 2:09 is my favorite he is sooo awesome with those sabers, I remember him from six years ago he was so young, now he is older and is excellent. I wish him luck on this prohect.
I must say I think i prefer this video to the fully rotoscoped version. The lightsabers remind me of the original trilogy and seem much more real and not so 'perfect' from the prequel trilogy
Bravo!!! You guys are awesome! Nice Duel, really. But it intrigues me, why did Brandon change of lightsaber color, he was used to use green lightsaber, did he turn to de dark side? 5/5
Honestly Ryan, what's the point of whipping out the double-bladed saber if you're just going to get it separated and lose half of it every time? =P Awesome vid though. Can't wait for the full version. =)
yea that part is my favorite part. maybe they built a rig that circles around them .... or maybe a rig that makes them spin? I wonder if that would that produce the same effect? I dunno it's the coolest part for me =p
The program was Adobe After Effects. There is no plugin; you basically animate a white solid over the props, blur it a few times, and color it. It is a bit more complicated than that, but that is the general idea.
It is 100% done, actually; they made the video without an ending where someone wins ;) Thanks for the compliment, if it was meant for me (the acting was done by Ryan Wieber and Brandon Flyte; I just did the effects.)
This is an A+. Excellent. You guys are getting better and better.
OMFG! This is the best one yet! I saw RVSD 1 and 2 and I have to say this is total bad assness! This is going into my favs and I'm thumbs uping this one!
GREAT WORK! Lucas should hire you!
Why couldnt the star wars movies' fights be this intense? I especially like from another 3:53 on. Very well done guys.
you guys don' disappoint! Very well done!
Hell yeah. The camera circling was perfect. Most impressive. Like 20+ movements choreographed into a single take. That was fricken awesome.
last thirty seconds did it for me. the music was alot better this time too. it kept the excitement going when the fighting slowed down.
Best fan fight scene ive seen yet, very smooth and exactly like it was in the movies. Camera work is pretty good too, give the actors my thanks
The song is "Driving With the Top Down"; it's a soundtrack from Iron Man.
That spinning camera at the end there was epic ha. Can't wait to see the end, Ryan has lost every battle so far. Good sport..Finally they brought a red saber into the picture.
Excellent! I can't imagine how many hours of rotoscoping! I've definitely got this in my favourites!
Forgot to say that the person with TWO sabers is cool because he actually knows how to use two weapons simultaneously to good effect. Most people just hold two blades and use them the same as they would if they had only one weapon, a highly ineffective practice.
Hey, that was SICK! One whole huge scene!
These guys are sure Future Filmakers!Salute!
It's called Driving With The Top Down; it's from the movie Iron Man.
I just love ryan's locking saber. Nice music too Iron Man, awsome.
wow, the coreogrophy was great in this one, nice job
Kick ass man. This video got me up and screaming go go go. Awesome man. Nice touch with the IRON MAN music.
nice work with the double sabers, i can barely handle twirling one let alone two. sweet video by the way, in your face lucas.
Simply put, Awesome! And the ironman music really helped out.
The spinning camera at the end is so epic. The music's really epic too.
it finally has all the effects.awsome :0
These guys are so good at this! I love watching these vids!
epic!
really good acting and editing
2:08 - 2:20 most badass and awesome part, when he was twisting around the 2 sabers, that was amazing, and i like the stance he went into when the 2 were parallel to each other, great video. amazing fighting skills, ryan and brandon (and dorkman) have my greatest respect
"A lightsaber, the weapon of a Jedi and a Sith tool. There is much craving in such a tiny thing of light. Be careful, a lightsaber does not make a Jedi or a Sith. In fact, it makes them much, much less than they are."
Their videos keep getting better and better.
Very well made! Going to admit, much cooler than that of any other Star Wars movie lightsaber fights
lol. Jeez, these guys look SO similar to Obi-Wan and Anakin. It's like the young version of Obi-Wan going against a less scarred Anakin. And damn, do I love it.
Definitely some of the coolest lightsaber work ever filmed!
Wow. Amazing guys. This is brilliant. You could put this in a star wars movie, and it would look just as good or better than the others. Bravo.
the video is amazing my favorite part is when the camera is going around them.Great job dudes.
Amazing job, clean visuals great fighting
Wow, not bad. Ryan has improved his craft sinced the last few star war battles.
Love the effects, The other guy was good also, There are a few things i would have changed in the fight scene to make it look more like a real fight. I would love to take on both Ryan and Brandon at the same time. I know it would be a cool battle.
Most awesome homemade sfx video I have seen yet! " and the award goes to.......
Simply put. This is epic
Awesome choreography, and "Driving With the Top Down" from the first Iron Man OST, great choice!
Nice work Winman, very pro.
Thanks a lot, we appreciate it! I had to edit the sound because the metal clashes from the props sound weird when in the final movie, so I removed the audio and added the soundtrack later. It not quite the same music, but it's from the same soundtrack.
3:52 ff was the best part fo rme. love those moves with screen movement
I would love to see a three way battle between ryan, brandon, and dorkman to an epic rendition of the force unleashed theme...epic...
the best lightsaber duel i've seen!!
dudes that was like awesome very epic at that this definatley was one of the best bravo
Extremely well done Brandon !!! Nice job.
pretty cool effects, congratulations!
The word epic springs to mind, I LOVE IT!!!! =D
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
best amator lightsaber choreographers
That's just the way Brandon wanted his color this time, I guess.
And Brandon seems to be rockin' Makashi big time!
I must remind myself NOT to make an enemy of Ryan, Brandon or Michael if lightsaber technology ever becomes available. I don't care if it's choreographed. It's still really good.
It`s amazing guys!!! I`m not wonder how did you make the lightsabers but how AMAZING were you fighting!!! Where have you been teched for such a movements???
WOW!! absolutely amazing!! very good job
WOOOOOWWW!!! THE FINAL BATTLE IS VERY NICE I LOVE IT!!!
To get the circling effect they must have had a cameraman on a flat bed trolley and then just pulled it around them while the were fighting, and then you can tell if you look at Brandon's shirt that they sped the footage up a bit.
I know that, but I thought it would be cool to come out with the FIRST full edited Ryan vs Brandon 2 video. I will also be working on the official one brought out by Ryan.
Plus, it hones my skills with After Effects; I'm always open to that.
approval of the music! Iron Man makes everything badass.
The Song is a Song from the first Iron Man Movie^^
"Driving with the top down"
insanely gooooood !
Some of these are better than the movie duels the choreography's that good
Dude, you're awesome!
holy shit! this is awesome!!
out of ryan dorkman and brandon, ryan is actually the best because he has perfected 3 styles of dueling, one swording, duel wielding, and the double saber. it takes alot of skill to master even one of those
1:47 Ryan just realizes the lightsaber is put to his head
I must have watched this video three or four times without realising that while Ryan is busy trying to pull his lightsaber back at 2:36, he's still fighting Brandon!
there needs to be more flashing when the lightsabers engage. So its really brightly radiating from the touchpoint. other than that: EPIC
2:50.... the most badass scene ever!!
Way better than the Star Wars prequels.
Brandon really has a sith expression i like it!
Wow! that was awesome!
holy shit that was fantastic
Dang! Brandon always gets his lightsaber broken! Tough luck for him... Must be hell having to build one all over again! Hahahahahaha!
Better than most Star wars fight scenes...
this video fits really good with the Iron Man theme song :D
Ryan, my man, you had four chances to kill him! Come on now. I gotta see you win at least one duel!
Great work, fellas!
@winman2000 In the old days, yes. For RvD2 and RvB2 we use carbon fiber blades except for rare occasions, like 2 or 3 shots in the beginning of this one.
Great duel!
I wish I could fight like that too! Awesome job!
Ryan cool moves at 2:09
Brandon... breaks his damn saber again at 2:51!!!
I have him on my friends at facebook I asked a few times but he is very busy right now. The Bit at 2:09 is my favorite he is sooo awesome with those sabers, I remember him from six years ago he was so young, now he is older and is excellent. I wish him luck on this prohect.
Ryan Wieber uses very little force powers in his videos. He likes to focus on the choreography of lightsabers.
I must say I think i prefer this video to the fully rotoscoped version. The lightsabers remind me of the original trilogy and seem much more real and not so 'perfect' from the prequel trilogy
now that was awesome!!!
Nice touch with the Iron Man (1) soundtrack
awesome fighting guys! Keep it up!
@CptReed That's what was used for Episode 3, Ryan said they use cheap aluminum rods for his movies
One word...Epic.
Bravo!!!
You guys are awesome! Nice Duel, really.
But it intrigues me, why did Brandon change of lightsaber color, he was used to use green lightsaber, did he turn to de dark side?
5/5
2:50 Brandon: "Not again"
well done Gentleman.
did n e 1 else liked the part when he combined the 2 lightsabers together? :) it was fucking badass!!!!!
Honestly Ryan, what's the point of whipping out the double-bladed saber if you're just going to get it separated and lose half of it every time? =P
Awesome vid though. Can't wait for the full version. =)
Magnifique les mouvements le combat sont exceptionnel !!!
The only flaw in this was hitting the table at 1:07, but otherwise that was brilliant!
You get my thumbs-up, definitely. :-D
yea that part is my favorite part. maybe they built a rig that circles around them .... or maybe a rig that makes them spin? I wonder if that would that produce the same effect? I dunno it's the coolest part for me =p
3:49-ending.. freaking epic.
The program was Adobe After Effects. There is no plugin; you basically animate a white solid over the props, blur it a few times, and color it. It is a bit more complicated than that, but that is the general idea.
oh and i know its old news but congrats on that heroes gig i saw u on behind the scenes
They're gonna call together a team of volunteers to do the "official" rotoscoping when the time comes, much like with the original RvB.
if you look closely before it cuts you off you can kinda see a slash across ryan's chest
Holy FUCK! Both your forms are just absolutely amazing. Please, tell me you've studied the blade.
It is 100% done, actually; they made the video without an ending where someone wins ;)
Thanks for the compliment, if it was meant for me (the acting was done by Ryan Wieber and Brandon Flyte; I just did the effects.)
hey winman i need some tips on making a video as kickass as yalls how do i get the lightsaber blade to look realistic
