13:03 I love the contrast between Maul, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan turns on his lightsaber seconds before the shields open, and Qui-Gon opens his eyes the moment they open. They get ready for battle at different moments, and then there's Maul, that's ready for battle the entire time. It really talks to you about the characters and their approach to combat, the Force and life.

Would anyone be interested in seeing a SOUND designers react series? Maybe I’m the only one but I’d love to see a series break down all the cool sound sources they use for film/games. A couple that spring to mind are burying microphones for the thumpers in Dune, or recording smashed fruit for the gross fatality sounds in Mortal Kombat. Anyone?

[@gurugeorge]

[@jp3813]

What's funny is that Attack of the Clones & Revenge of the Sith used to get criticized by many fans for supposedly making the duels look like twirling dances instead of being in the same tradition as the original trilogy.

[@Contradae]

Yeah I think it was explained back in the old days pre-Disney, when there were levels of canon (Like A, B, C starting with films). IIRC The style Darth Vader used was slower, efficient and powerful due to the limits of his cybernetics, and Luke used the same style just less experienced. That's how it was justified that prequels were faster and with more flair. Movie wise it was the limitations of production because they were fighting with expensive glass tubes and the sequels switched to wood.

[@jp3813]

@@Contradae Lucas' canon explanation in the DVD commentaries is that the Vader vs Obi-Wan rematch wasn't complex b/c it's basically a robotic cripple vs an old man. Which is quite amusing given the Yoda vs Palpatine duel.

[@royalmaniac5774]

@@jp3813 I like how obi wan and Vader’s duel on the Death Star can be correctly described as “a cripple murders an old man” lmao

[@MaMastoast]

I do think that Attack of the clones and revenge of the sith are too much.. The fights often look like dances rather than fights. Episode 1 absolutely has a ton of dance quality to it, but it still looks like they're actually trying to kill eachother, I think that's the difference between the maul fight and many of the later ones.

[@AlexChipman]

Yep. Sequels used to be hated, no loved. Prequels will go the same way.

[@JAHRONMON]

The “shake off the dust shot“ in the original matrix is one of my favorite shots in cinema and I’m extremely glad that they geeked over as well.

[@dhrunssofast]

​@Oni this shot has nothing to do with anime

[@chuggynation8275]

@@dhrunssofast You're right its 100% old school martial arts movie trick with the dust.

[@NomSauce]

@Oni It's not that anime 100% can't translate to live-action, but rather that how you direct action inside animation is completely different to how you do it in live-action. That's why it doesn't translate well, especially if the animation goes into sci-fi/fantasy levels of strength. There's advantages and disadvantages to both when it comes to animation vs live-action and it's those differences that stop both from perfectly translate between eachother. And that's not a bad thing, if anything that's a good part of it all, it creates nuance and interesting difference. Both are lovely in their own right. Like to me, animation will always have the upper hand when it comes to fantasy type action, the type of shots you can get just cannot be recreated in live-action. Imagine trying to recreate Trigger Studio's Promare, Little Witch Academia or Kill La Kill in live-action, those type of shots are literally impossible to pull off. They just wouldn't look good because those shots are created with an animation basis, therefor get to take the advantages of animation. But vice versa, character acting (primarily facial acting) and sense of grounded reality is the huge advantage of live-action, that's something you cannot perfectly recreate in animation. Yes in "theory" you could, but not even Disney has the budget to make that happen, it's too time inefficient and has serious flexibility constraints. On the opposite end, the facial acting in animation just can't translate to live-action, those hype scenes of the character screaming their lungs out and their face starts to distort. How do you translate that to a live-action scene without it looking like a whacky looney toons space jam cut?

[@AWSVids]

@@dhrunssofast I think they meant that it serves the same purpose as what anime does with showing the energy of the characters radiating from their power moves and poses. The dust isn't just used for the same purposes as what martial arts typically does, which is just adding emphasis to a kick to the face or something, although it's in the same vein and uses the same special effects technique. The point was to highlight Neo's energy in that pose, which is what anime does with the background when the characters pose like that. It was a live action technique borrowed from martial arts movies, used for an effect that is typical of anime. That's part of what's so great about the Matrix. It was an amazing blending of genres.

The last time a Lightsaber fight got everyone excited was the hallway scene in rogue one. Yea it was fan service but thats the point. Its ok to show a badass being a badass. Thats where the sequels fell short. No one felt deserving to be an all powerful force user.

[@mangalores-x_x]

Do people still remember the times when Star Wars was about Jedi not using their light sabres? Yoda ridiculed them as stupid nonsense a true Jedi does not identify with. And wow, the emperor was slain because Luke threw his light sabre away. That is why the light sabre fights in the OT could look clunky. Because the fights had meaning to the story they did not need to be flashy.

[@Fernando5455Jr]

What about Mandalorian?

[@TheStrykerProject]

"The problem with so many cuts is you lose the audience." Absolutely true for me. I really don't like rapid cuts, because it tells me one or two things: there isn't enough talent to do single- (or minimal-) take perspectives and/or they're overcompensating for lack of budget. Hypercuts can add some tension, sometimes, but using it for every action scene just makes the scenes fractured, which is not enjoyable for me.

[@carston101]

I've never played The Old Republic, but those cinematics are some of the absolute best star wars moments I've ever seen, I just want those animators to make an animated film honestly.

[@AndreNitroX]

When those cinematics came out, I fully believed they were going to make a Star Wars the old republic movie. I could have died happy then but now I have to keep on waiting.

[@Edzewkurai]

it WOULD have been great if they had kept the EU and just used animation like they did in TOR to just animate all the EU stuff including the Old Republic stuff. they could have had years worth of content that would have not only made old fans happy but brought in new fans as well. instead they decided to toss it all into the trash and make up their own stories... so now i wouldnt want them to do anything any more, its way too late and what we would end up with would be just as bad as the sequel movies/solo movie or worse.

Honestly cathartic to see them talking about the difference between the recent star war movies compared to the old republic (or hell even the prequel) in term of a lightsaber fight. I had my expectation set a lot higher in regard to the action thanks to those trailers. At least fallen order kind of scratched that itch in term of being weighty but fast even if it's a video game.

I don't recall nearly as much hate for the fights as defendants of the ST claim there were (except Anakin V Obiwan, seriously WTF was that baton twirling? Even I chuckled at that ridiculous moment-torn from my suspension of disbelief-in the theatre in my early teens). Most of the complaints I recall from the prequels was that Jar Jar was a racist caricature, Anakin was a bad actor (which I didn't understand the complaint, most kid actors aren't that good), and that the dialogue was simply atrocious between Padme and Anakin (which it is, clearly because Lucas cannot write with a focus on romance). I guess the other major complaint was that, given it was a prequel, technology seemed to have devolved between the PT and OT based on ship design but that was because CG had evolved in the real world. Admittedly, none of these complaints detract from the prequel trilogy feeling like a prequel to Star Wars. It didn't excessively breaky any world defining lore. It accounted for Anakin's training by the time skip between Phantom Menace and Clones. It showed Anakin's descent to the dark side (admittedly it was done better in Clone Wars the animated series). Anakin could only do intuitive 'feeling' force stuff with pod racing/space fights (like Luke's targeting) before he could do anything cool with the force. The force couldn't materialize matter across spacetime or heal others. Jedi didn't just willy-nilly abandon that way of life because they made a single mistake or I guess two mistakes because once Kylo went on a killing spree I guess Luke just... let him do it? Instead they taught and tried to learn from mistakes. You couldn't just skip from one side of the galaxy to the entire opposite side in a matter of seconds (it took around a week to get from Tattooine to Alderaan, and they aren't even half the distance some of the places were in Rise). Not only that, but you didn't have lightspeed ramming... which IS NOT a probability/chance maneuver when you have targeting/navigation computers to make sure you're pointed in the right direction. You're gonna be going the speed of light, nothing is dodging you at that speed that isn't ALSO going the speed of light. You will hit them at the same time their sensors detect you coming even from light years away. There are so many lore breaking issues with the Last Jedi, I still haven't even bothered to watch Rise of Skywalker and never will. Looking back at Force Awakens-an entirely, beat for beat redundant episode in the saga with its own lore breaking issues... it really isn't any good either and really didn't deserve me giving TLJ a chance. Solo was a masterpiece-comedic droid riot and all-compared to any of the sequel trilogy.

We're 44 years into the Star Wars franchise and we've still never seen anyone in big gorgeous cinematic production values actively taking advantage of the fact a lightsaber can turn off and then back on very quickly.

Bet The Old Republic developers took a lot of inspiration from the scene with maul. The Jedi out of combat healing ability is meditation, which causes them to sit and regenerate health, while the sith consular/assassin's ability is Seethe, which causes them to pace back and forth.

Couldn't agree more about the lightsaber fights in the new trilogy. Everyone kept saying it was because Rey was "new to the force and the lightsaber" so it would take a few movies before they could give her the skill and fight that she deserved to have but unfortunately in my opinion that never happened. The speed/intensity of the lightsaber fights in the Prequels was definitely one of the most memorable moments for me as a kid. Watching the Darth Maul fight probably altered the course of my life 😂 Always great seeing Chris and Yung! Till the next one!

Best episode yet, and I’ve seen all of them. These guys truly understand how fights are suppose to be filmed right with pacing and camera work. The entire matrix trilogy proves the perfect fight flow in every fight seen, fast but deliberate with little to no cuts to keep the viewer focused on what’s happening. Fights in movies today just have none of that which is truly sad to see. This video legit made me subscribe just to watch the full episode just so I could see what the rest of these 2 guys had to say

Tbf, the Matrix trilogy had Hong Kong director and fight choreographer, Yuen Woo-Ping and his team to train the actors, choreograph the fights as well as direct them. The guy introduced Jackie Chan to martial arts comedy and popularized him through the first Drunken Master movie, also turned Donnie Yen into a star. He's done the fight choreography for plenty of Donnie Yen & Jet Li movies as well. Just mindboggling how they didn't bring him and his team back for Matrix 4.

[@DeathBringer769]

That's actually a technique in Spanish sword fighting. Antonio Banderas said he learned it when he was being trained for The Mask of Zorro. There's an interview with Graham Norton where he was showing the different positions/stances he learned while training for Zorro, and the back block was the final one, designed for when you have a sneaky opponent trying to slash you in the back. These were traditional techniques he was trained in, not just random stuff they invented for the movie, just for the record ;)

Here's something for you to look into, Corridor. All the car stunts in Blues Brothers. From the drawbridge jump, filmed on the 95th Street bridge, to the car chase through the Dixie Square Mall in Harvey, to the MASSIVE chase at the end, particularly the section taking place in Chicago proper. That chase required the "importing" of 40 stuntmen specifically. They got permission to do 100+ mph runs through Chicago, and had massive pile-ups of "cop cars". They airdropped a Ford Pinto from 1200 feet, and had to get a FAA certificate to do so. In total, they wrecked more than 100 cars in that movie, and yet, there were no notable injuries.

I’m so glad to see people in the industry speaking out about the vision of the Monster Hunter movie and how lazy or soulless many video game into film adaptations have been. It’s bad enough when Paul W.S. Anderson turned Resident Evil fans into apologists because of the movies, now he’s setting out to damage ANOTHER Capcom property. If he also does this to Mega Man, I won’t be surprised. Funny enough, a sizable portion of one of the biggest audiences that these kinds of movies are marketed towards ended up passing on the movie because an off-color Asian joke in the early moments of the movie. Talk about tone-deaf. It’s also extremely ironic that they show a portion of the cutscene that plays in MH World for the introduction of the same monster that appears in the film, yet the video game shows much more competence in cinematography.

I liked Resurrections okay enough overall as a movie, but I was soooo disappointed with the lack of creativity in any of the fight scenes compared to the original matrix OR matrix reloaded for that matter :( So many cool mixes of martial arts styles and VFX with beautiful cinematography to wrap it all together, the Neo/Agent Smith fight scene is still probably my favourite of all time, and the battle against Merovingian with the Exiles in reloaded has that same energy. You can tell the same amount of heart and thoughtfulness was put in. The Matrix universe has so much potential for this kind of stuff, and Resurrections' action scenes seemed SO generic in comparison that it really doesn't do the original trilogy justice. I have my other problems with it as well, but that was the biggest. Despite all that, from a narrative perspective I was still able to enjoy it with Carrie-Anne Moss, NPH and Yahya Abdul as Morpheus really stealing the show. I just wish Morpheus and Bugs/Jessica Henwick got more screen time. Keanu unfortunately just didn't do it for me in that movie, not sure if it was an acting issue or he just didn't want to be there.

I totally agree with Jakub. I'm a huge fan of The Matrix, it changed my life when I was in seventh grade. It inspired me to pursue a career in 3d graphics and art. I was shocked at how many bad ideas they could squeeze into one movie and with such poor execution. Morpheus was Neo's best friend and a wise mentor, why the hell did they turn him into a clown that dresses like an ironic hipster that wears weird Elton John sunglasses?! Morpheus was never a comedic character, what were they thinking? There seemed to be a disdain for the audience baked into much of the dialogue. The movie seemed to mock fans of the original trilogy by commenting on our expectations. Resurrections reminded me vividly of the way I felt while watching The Last Jedi, it's not a pleasant feeling. I was cringing throughout and grimacing at the bad dialogue. Once again, they had an enormous target to hit and they still managed to miss it! The first Matrix was pure genius, I still stand by that.

@@ChristopherLeBlancArtAndDesign interesting, I didn't actually mind the portrayal of Morpheus. It was different obviously, but I found it more of a meta thing, considering the AI was going off of historical data of what he thought Morpheus was like, injecting his own personality into it.

I'm also a huge matrix AND star wars fanboy and Resurrections met my "good enough" standards, even if I DEFINITELY had my problems with it. Meanwhile I'm STILL salty as fuck about the ST and wish it was never made. I hated everything about it. To me they're nowhere near on the same level of bad, but to each their own.
