Im gonna talk about something other than the absolutely amazing choreography and acting. How the character of Triarch Wind was told through the story was amazing. In the beginning, he's simply a proper, ruthless Sith Lord snuffing out a small mutiny. But as the video goes on, we see Triarch tell Atlas that betrayal doesn't work out for everyone, insinuating that he himself has betrayed his comrades before. And we see him respect Atlas by placing his fist, which is clenching his badge, against his heart. Amazing work.
@@chriskibodeaux9818 yeah, really. did we watch the same video? what did you think was bad about it? for a bunch of teenagers having fun with lightsabers, i was able to get a lot of joy from it.
I *LOVE* the energy here! Lots of evil people going at it over a power struggle, that's good stuff. The characters are established very well in a short amount of time, and you can immediately tell who's got the upper hand. Keep up the good work, team! You don't often see someone straight up rockin' the cape, but your guy totally pulls it off.
This is a great Star Wars short fanmade film; the actor who pertrayed Triarch is a really good actor & hopefully their will be much more films; I subbed & really enjoyed the film
You know this was low budget no doubt. But this was really good! The acting was good the saber fighting was well choreographed. Imagine if they had a bigger budget. The effects aren't bad as well. And they explained everyone's position in authority in good amount of time. This was good story telling.
The guy who plays Atlas seems to have put everything he could into the role. The main character is also an excellent actor. The dualing all seems to be well choreographed as well. Excellent viewing material on May the 4th :)
I gotta admit, I was surprised by this one. I had originally thought (within the first minute or two) that this would work better as a fan film than as a LCC entry, but as it went on the action really amped up and the choreography really improved.
I was totally hoping the apprentice would turn around and (quite literally) stab Triarch in the back. With some kind of monologue that included "The thing about betrayal is that when done right, the victim always falls" or something to that effect. Would've brought this already impressive display to a new level. Great work regardless
I mean usually betrayals actually work so it was kinda nice seeing that a betrayal ultimately failed and only cost the betrayed some warriors to handle things for him
0k the lead actor is amazing everything about him fits the idea of sith lord voice mannerisms just wow. Rather weak fighting to slow paced for my tastes but the lead caused me to stick around and see what he did
Honestly, Triarch was toying with Atlas. There were multiple instances Triarch disarmed Atlas, and choose to let him get back up. He was arrogant and sure of his power. A perfect Sith.
@@justincummings8557 Triarch has red lightning (which is the strongest form of force lightning), something even Palpatine didn't. I think Dooku might be better in terms of lightsaber combat but in terms of force powers Triarch can just zap Dooku out of commission
@@mist0804 1: where did you get that there were stronger variations of Force Lightning? I’ve never heard that before. 2: the fact that Dooku held his own against Yoda for a time holds quite a bit of weight, as this is the same frog who has studied every lightsaber form with the exception of Vaapad. In my opinion, though, Dooku’s best feat was his fight against Mace Windu in the comics. The fact that he held out against some of the greatest duelists of the era is very impressive. 3: Dooku could easily deflect lightning, as it has been seen that his vast knowledge of his chosen form, Makashi, allows him to compensate for his weaknesses. 4: I always thought Triarch’s feat there was a more of a form of Teutaminus, a Force power enabling the user to absorb energy. This includes blaster bolts, both real and Force lightning, and even lightsaber blade.

Hum... My Review... Acting: 8/10 - For the most part, I was fine with the acting. My only annoyance (though I got through it) was the dialogue. Some of the characters felt like they were trying too hard or were just not in character fully. A particular bit that just rubbed me off the wrong way was the girls talking. Cartography: 9/10 - No real complaints here. I think the only gripe I have is the girl using the dual saber was not really using it to its potential/style. Of course, I can't expect everyone to put any study into lightsaber combat, but for this particular weapon, I do suggest it in the future. Otherwise, loved the show. Story: 2/10 - This hit me the hardest as being the most depressing aspect of the film. I get there are possibly length limits and so forth but with so little context to what was happening, I really had no idea what was going on beyond "Cool Lightsaber Fight". The foundation is set well for there to be a narrative, but it just did not have enough context to keep me invested in anyone. Overall: 6/10 - Promising, definatly promising. I will check out the channel for additional films to drop reviews on. Hope this is helpful to some extent.
Who and why has someone given thumbs down , good choreography and some good moves in there especially when he disarms him at the end for the final kill
Good job, guys! You should really be making movies with your work. Loved the plot and the saber choreography with a small hint of martial arts grappling at the end. Very creative! Please keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more! (You earned yourselves a subscriber!) 5 Stars!
*BIG WOOF* this was good! The acting was great and so were the costumes! The duels- especially from Triarch- were intense! And had me feeling like this guy was a true to life Sith Lord~ Now I must add that the effects are a bit lacking- not bad! But I don’t believe these sabers, they’re too dark and don’t come across as real sabers to me- are they good? Of course, but are they good enough? Sadly no. I give this a big ol’ 8 out of 10, I freakin’ loved it
This was really good! I was surprised at how well they all acted because I can never seem to get anyone to act well lol. The choreography was really good too. Nice job
OKay, I admit, the acting was little cheesy at times, but the choreography was so fast, so engergetic, and just badass ,that I didn't really mind it in the end. Nice work!
My only point of constructive criticism would be to lower the opacity on the lightsaber glow, as they are now the contrast creates an overly unnatural feel. Other than that I found it to be quite enjoyable. Good job.
This kind of thing is why Darth Bane conceived the rule of two. The sith draw their power from conflict and passion but unless those things are directed to a purpose or to fight an enemy, the sith become their own worst enemy. Kreia said it best: "To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best" The sith were never more powerful than during the rule of two era when only two sith ruled, one to embody power, the other to crave it.
Really the only bad thing i have to say is that the lightsabers clip in certain scenes and that the sound is a bit off in some areas but that can easily be fixed, otherwise I was thoroughly entertained. Keep it up 👍
You guys are really screwing up, it seems you've figured out that character and plot are essential elements to compelling choreography. We can't have any of that here. Now I can't simply scrub through, I have to sit and watch it and take it all in. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!?!
I love how Treyarch over here has this cocky, in control, personality. It reminds me of Count Dooku and Palpatine, who both projected auras of confidence.
So this is what Sith High School is like, the student council President is summoned by the Vice President, he brings his girlfriend along, and the Vice President and the other members of the council try to kill him, lol
Sith on Sith goodness... more of a twist at the end would have been nice. The effects were acceptable. Not just with this fight, but the lightsabre battles I've been viewin in general too, the horizontal spins with the sabres seem more and more ludicrous. In any battle, you never bturn your back on the opponent. Jedi and Sith have some excuse in that they can sense moves in the force... but it still looks bad...when both antagonists are force users, there's no excuse... the moment the Jedi or whoever pulls a groovy little spin, his or her opponent would plant their sabre neatly between the shoulder blades and it would be over. Against non-force users, less of an issue perhaps. The acting was a plus, but the delivery of the last line seemed off. Wind was haughty and arch the whole way through, I needed him to switch a gear... outright screaming rage would have been great, as would sorrow or even tender, paternal love. Leaving the trinket in Atlas' dead palm was a nice touch... As twists go, you have only a few options... Atlas could beat Wind to death with his bare hands and feet. Wind could be killed by his 'loyal' apprentice. It would actually have been quite nice if Wind had picked up Atlas and carried him away in his arms... completely unexpected... or make it bigger. Wind speaks into a mic, and 30 seconds later a couple of ships land, and Imperial agents and droids come out and start putting the dead onto stretchers... Anyway, in conclusion, I quite liked it on the whole, enjoyed the acting. Of all the effects, the sped-up sabre duels at the start were probably the most effective for me. Keep em coming!
