Hey now! The earliest glasses were invented around 1260 AD, which is an earlier time period than the swords we are using! That said, they probably weren't Oakleys lol Thanks for watching and commenting!
Adorea Olomouc are amazing aren't they? We do get a lot of inspiration from their films! If you like the Czech style there are some smaller channels like Lukas Zehart and Sermiri Vima worth checking out too! Glad you enjoyed our video and thanks for the comment!
This was visually a pretty good fight scene. Nice long takes without dozens of annoying cuts. Even the front kick was not too bad( although exposing your inner thigh in a sharp blade fight will get you dead). These things I am about to point out are very minor and most viewers will never notice. The opening sharpening sound was effective, but not quite in sync with the action. The black undershirt has the distinct round neckline of a stretchy t-shirt. This final point is not wrong, just something to thing about. When going into a planed fight, the liripipe of the blue mantle can be wrapped around the neck for added protection and to remove such a convenient grappling handle. Overall it is a good looking fight and I look forward to the next short film.
Great feedback! Thanks for watching and commenting on the video! I will go to bat for the front kick. I picked it up from Hans Talhoffer's fencing manual which demonstrates specifically front kicks several times being used in conjunction with the longsword. One shouldn't lead with a kick but as a follow up to a party or when the opponent's blade is engaged, it's not quite as dangerous as it otherwise might seem! Thanks again for watching and commenting, I always appreciate seeing your feedback! :)
@@ArmouryTerrain I'd agree it probably falls under those techniques which are either questionable or perhaps are misinterpreted. Having sparred a reasonable amount, I have yet to have reason or timing to kick someone in a swordfight. I think the old masters may have thrown in some techniques as a sort of joke. Kind of like the dueling snails you see in the marginalia of other period works
I would love to see you guys do a reenactment the story in 1 Samuel ch. 14, where Jonathan and his armor bearer defeated 20+ Philistines in a small pass. Regardless of if you're a Christian or not, it's a great story of Jonathan's bravery.
