The color of the blade does not determine your affiliation with the dark or light side of the force

[@tylerdetering9094]

ODST4553 Although true, usually the lightsaber displays some sense of the wielders personality

[@DarthCasus]

Tyler Detering The initial crystal used in making your first lightsaber determines your personality. anyone can make as many lightsabers as they want after that utilizing as many different designs as they like. Darth Vader used his second blue lightsaber in his fight with Obi-Wan, so this proved color has no baring on which side you are on.

[@tylerdetering9094]

Well there are exceptions but, usually the light saber color does matter, not all the time, but when they are choosing a crystal it should matter

[@SS2LP]

Tyler Detering A blue bladed lightsaber is the weapon of a jedi knight that has chosen to focus on lightsaber combat rather than force abilities they are the guardians.

To me, this is the best one ever. It's got just about everything you could ask for in a lightsaber duel, especially an amateur one. The physicality in this is fantastic, I love how you guys incorporated punches, kicks, elbows, and knees into the fight, as I feel like that is something that a lot of people tend to ignore. The special effects were great. You guys didn't need to make part of your fight in an enclosed space, and part of it pressed against a wall, but you did and you utilized what makes a lightsaber a lightsaber in those places beautifully. The force gets brought in a few times as well, which is always nice to see. And lastly, the choreography. What can I say about the choreography that hasn't already been said millions of times before? You guys did an absolutely fantastic job with this. It blew my mind when I was kid, and watching it now, it still blows my mind. Also, the moment at around 3:25 where the lightsaber gets stuck in the wall, you let it go to avoid getting your arm cut off, then kick it off the wall as it drops, catch it over your head, then reactivate it and slice down has got to be the single coolest thing I have ever seen and it looks so incredibly smooth!

[@Sumguyinavan_]

For those super saber nerds out there, what styles do you think they are using most in the video? Ryan's style is mostly quick swipes at the general target zones, and common static defenses, very indicative of Shii-Cho, but adds in a few spins for some light Ataru mixup. His aggressive attitude makes you think there might be some Juyo/Vapaad, but he doesn't seem to be enjoying the battle in a way a user of those styles would, he basically seems to be more fighting mad than using a passion driven style. Dorkman seems to be primariy Makashi focusing on tighter movements and more precise planned strikes. But he is also notably on the defensive for most of the fight and is very good at quickly intercepting strikes without counter attacking, even being highly defensive of unarmed attacks, very telling of Soresu.

[@mastafull]

This fight has such a level of grit and realism to it that I find much more interesting and entertaining than the "epic" battle at the end of Episode 3. When everything is CGI, it doesn't matter if every frame has thousands of things flying around to fill in the background, it just looks sterile and lifeless without real human interactions. I loved that light saber gag at 4:20 too. Very clever use of the force abilities when grappling.

[@almightyhotdoglady5383]

There was actually more minature work in Episode III than people like to assume, the polishing and compositing was "digital", but comping's been a thing when it was all analog (OT for example). Many of the shots were also REAL shots of volcanos. That being said, for the technology being what it was back then, it was and still is amazing. You have to remember that the environments in RvD took place in a basic room, not on a lava planet, so come back to me if you could have done better. Remember: 1. Travel back in time to 2005. 2. Buy out multiple iMacs and ILM Linux distributions, including teams of people for minature work. 3. Get ahold of Shake compositing software, Adobe After Effects 6.5, and Maya, and blend that work between 3D and compositing (compositing can be composed of any element, whether it be "real" or minature involving 3D scanning as well). 4. Own several million dollars and fake a lava planet and many more planets in the making. Wouldn't have been easy. We wouldn't have Transformers, the latest Marvel films and many more without the prequels, Pirates of the Caribbean 2-3, the early Spider-Man movies starring Toby Maguire, all of which being ILM's body of work. "... it just looks sterile and lifeless without real human interactions." I'm not sure what you meant by this, the choreography wasn't sped up, much less "Non-human interactive", like Grievous for example. Grievous was CG, but was all rotoscanned through human references (whilst NOT being sped up). Hayden and Ewan trained for that scene for months on end, and every shot was human interactive. Anyway, hope this lends some new info to ya. Happy comping!

[@魚-c3d]

Playineth Menards you are so right. Too many people underestimate the prequels and make them underrated. They only look at the defaults rather than the qualities and don’t even inform themselves about how it was made. I watched a few criticism videos about the prequels and I finally have my own opinion. Yeah, they’re not perfect at all. Ok, Hayden Christensen’s acting is embarrassing in the episode II. And the anakin actor as a kid is not really better 😅. The political thematic doesn’t please everyone, they find it boring, not really well brought and badly organized ( I personally find it interesting). Ok, Jar Jar Binks is sometimes unbearable 😅. I agree, watching the lightsaber battles is sometimes a little bothering because of the useless movements and effects that the characters do with their weapons. And yeah, The relationship between Anakin and Obi wan is sometimes annoying because Obi wan often seems to be reprimanding his padawan. Some of the special effects have aged badly. Yes, the prequels contain all this defaults, maybe even more. But fuck. I don’t care about what people think, I like this movies, they entirely take place in my heart as Star Wars movies, way more than the sequels. For the battle against Darth Maul and the one between Anakin and Obi Wan. For the beautiful new soundtracks that this movies brought to the Star Wars universe (Duel of fates😱, battle of heroes😀 and many others. For the enlargement of the universe, all these new planets like coruscant or naboo. For the beautiful character that is Qui-Gon-Jinn, who was the only Jedi who really trusted Anakin. For the pod race. For knowing the Jedi council, and learning that they wasn’t entirely kind. For following the chancellor’s plan, and how did it resulted to the empire. To see how Anakin progressively turned to the dark side. For the high ground 😂. For all this cool stuff and even more things I didn’t quote. And shit, just because it’s Star Wars!!

Hey Everyone, Dorkman was the victim in a terrible drunk driving accident last night. While walking back to work from a dinner break, a drunk driver ran the curb and hit Micheal. He is in critical condition and has a long road ahead of him. Our company has setup a GoFundMe page to help pay for the medical costs and offer any support for him we can. Please Donate what you can or share this story. Link will be in the post below this but if it doesn't search @DorkManScott or #SaveDorkman on twitter to find a bunch of support links

how long will he be hospitilized?

[@MarkHawkCam]

Long time, he is still in very critical condition. Shattered bones, internal bleeding, and skull fractures. He's still deep in the woods unfortunately.

[@YuuzahnDragon]

May the Force Bless his real recovery, and may our hopes for his safety grow.

[@MarkHawkCam]

Aidan Ballato literally gave 3 other affiliating projects he is involved with all with official statements. I work with Michael, shared a desk with him, and worked on a lot of the same shows. If you think I'd risk my career on a scam you're insane (look up Mark Velazquez and Michael Scott on IMDB if you must). Go on twitter, DorkmanScott's official twitter has posted a link to the same ones I gave you. Why don't you message Ryan for clarification then. For someone who said they were going to Pray for Michael Scott you sure are going way out of your way to hurt him now

4:38 They actually choreographed a full fistfight sequence, but cut it.

[@SqualidsargeStudios]

Aaaah yes after so many years watching this again, and it’s still amazing

[@CamofSteel]

Back when there was some actual creative originality on KZbin.

2:17 my favorite part.

Harry Potter vs Ryan

[@Shotin35mm]

I love everything about this film and its had the same effect on me every time i watch it. God i love this film.

[@wolfofsolace349]

Dorkman seems to favor Form III, otherwise known as Soresu, while Ryan appears to lean more toward Ataru.

[@FYIiamSpyduck]

Judging by their stances and overrepresentation of thrusting compared to the movies I'd say Dorkman's main style is Makashi, since Soresu is solely a defensive style. However, both Dorkman and Ryan fluidly switches between Makashi, Soresu, Ataru and non-form moves, this is especially obvious when looking at their power strikes, thrusts, "circle parries" and grappling.

[@tpeden7259]

+FYI I am Spyduck I agree with you. I did see a lot of unorthodox moves in there but dorkman to me definitely is favouring makashi while I think ryan is probably form 4 ataru and maybe even form 7 also I agree with you on the part about stances. :)

[@koffieverslaafde627]

FYI i am Spyduck my style is makashi what is yours?

[@FYIiamSpyduck]

I wouldn't say any style is "mine" for I am no Jedi. If any style was mine it would be the German or Italian style of longsword fencing. I do, however know what you are asking: "If you were a Jedi which style would you favour, considering your preferences in this present non-Jedi state?" And the answer would indeed be Makashi, for it is the most useful style for both attack and defence, I would also like to complement it with Soresu to smoothen out the lack of blaster deflection and weakness against multiple opponents, but it should be noted that mixing these two styles poses a danger for the user as Soresu parries blows very close to the body and Makashi deflects or parries further away from the body, therefore switching between them could leave you vulnerable to an opponent who manages to get inside your outer guard distance before you switch to Soresu. Of course, Jedi reflexes help a lot.

[@plushie1019]

amazing!

[@sianiballard5104]

cool

[@EverythingNerdifying]

This is a dumb question but it's bothering me. Is dorkman's light saber green or yellow? I'm badly colorblind and I can't tell.

[@Fernando5455Jr]

It's yellow

[@evanparker5992]

It's yellow.

[@RyanWieber]

Michael always wanted it to be "gold" which is just yellow with a bias slightly toward red. So it's kind of just barely off-yellow. But yeah, of the who, certainly yellow as opposed to green.

[@smfproduction8256]

Ryan Wieber and song

[@wyatt8000]

It's gold.

[@monicaleigh7641]

I still to this day talk about how amazing these videos are. And I saw them soon after you guys put them out there. I just showed this to one of my students today. I hope these videos are never off KZbin because I love watching them.
