Last tune in the Black Forest | Short HEMA Action Movie | Akademia Szermierzy 

Hello! Could you guys upload The Song of Courage as a separate video, please? There are a lot of us who would love to add that masterpiece to our playlists.

@@caseydubois3645 Yes we plan it, but we need to prepare video clip

Thank you very much (although Polish sounds quite understandable for Russians).

Спасибо

Absolutely amazing , friends. I have followed everything you have created and cannot wait for more. The history, the tactics and stories are top notch!

Thanks! :)

Well, yes, but actually no) The camera work spoils the impression a little, plus for some reason all the movements looks "fake", not in full speed, not accented, IMHO. This is obvious even when comparing this film with other videos of the authors of the film, for example, where they showed techniques in HEMA. So this is not the best fencing in the history of cinema, but it's still cool.

@@Kirill_Ivanov. That does make me wonder why this is.. perhaps they didnt plan out cinematography alongside very well?

@@XonixDerps My guess would be effects and shortcomings in direction due to the length of the video. Not that it's badly directed, but keeping a sense of unity in the film cuts when displaying multiple fights is HARD. Most Hollywood movies fail at it. The spectator, subconsciously, will always try to make sense of space and time. The (hard) job of the director is to allow that with ease. There's also the notion of choreography that plays in it. The bigger it gets (and this one is far beyond the scope of a single duel) the harder it gets. matter of coordination, logistics, reshoots for different angles and splitting the recording to make it fit.... that's entering the editor's territory after filming. As for effects: they were lightly protected for the purpose of the video. Which changes the choreography as well. They have a duty to themselves and their fellow performers for safety first and foremost. Their Fiore series allowed them more protection, and, being shorter videos, also allowed for a set of camera triks that hid the finality of most moves. Longer media makes you use a bigger variety of angles (so as to not bore the audience), making you run out of the few tricks you can use to hide. They also don't enjoy thousand-dollar safe props and cgi. For showmanship, they also sacrificed probable for feasable. Which is ok by me, even if it might make die-hards frown (which is understandable to a degree) All in all it's still a worthy piece of media in what they were trying to accomplish.

I agree! Harness being used the way it should be! Against someone who's unarmoured, harness is a weapon in its own right, and I am so damn tired of seeing armour on screen that might as well be made of tissue paper for all the good it does!

Well, it may not happen very often, but it certainly always makes an impression.. :D

Well said. That's not just "coreography": that's "film making".

Did the one guy live at the end? Or is he mortally wounded?

Thanks! We have some future plans...

Yes we plan it, but we need to prepare video clip

@@akademiaszermierzy1105 Alright, We'll be waiting! Thank you so much for the hard work you guys put in to give us quality entertainment!

I second this proposal!

Thanks and regards!

You cannot die if you are already dead inside like him xD

@@hubertfeder3076 🥺

Press F

@@akademiaszermierzy1105 So many more of you Asses dead. Briliant movie. Next time tell Rafał to kill more Arma guys.

We are still waiting for the first contract.. :D But realy, of course we're already thinking about even bigger projects etc., who knows where we'll end.. Thanks for your oppinion! :)

I hope they don't go to Netflix. The quality of the fighting will go down for the sake of nudity

@@kiakaha307 That's HBO

Hell no. Not with this sjw shmucks. A great low budget movie is always better, than high budget dump. Do you think it would still have same atmosphere with all those hipster I know it all supervisors?

@@kiakaha307 Both nudity and fighting scenes should be high quality.

Thank you. We learned a lot during this production. So now we have plenty of ideas for next movies...

Thanks!!

:)

I consider it still to hollywoody. ;P We all know duels ends very quickly. In Japan it was quite often they've ended even before they actually begin.

Thanks, we are very glad you like it!

Happy birthday form Akademia ! :d

@@hubertfeder3076 Thank you! :)

Happy birthday:)

@@akademiaszermierzy1105 Bit late now :P But thank you! And especially thank you for the video, it really made my day :)

Ich stimme zu

Thanks! We're already working on a few new projects.

We are glad to hear it:)

Exactly what I said in the chat. The movie didn't even start and already a dislike...

those are probably bots.

They just freaked out when they learned your character is probably not in the next chapter.

Thanks for feedback. And we are very glad that you liked it eventually

@@akademiaszermierzy1105 I had to like it at the start. Otherwise I'd click away, so there is a bit of advice hidden here. The start needs to be really good nowadays.

Thank you! We learned a lot during this project and we already have plans for the future:)

Thanks, I'm glad you like it:)

Great to hear it, thanks!

Dzięki, pozdrawiamy!

Awesome and good luck in next HEMA steps:)
