Ryan vs Ethan Lightsaber Duel

We decided to do one last fun project before the summer season starts up. We shot this all in one day and made the effects in Davinci Resolve frame per frame. Happy Star Wars Day!
Thanks to Ryan and Ethan for rocking the choreography as we made it up on the spot and improvised the rest. And special thanks to Luke Nelson with the choreography preparation.

Better than all the duels in the sequels

[@spencerrnelson]

Thanks man!! Means a ton!

[@ArthurJJudah]

Facts!

[@jamesmoore6752]

As someone who participates in lightsaber sparring, I cannot comment you enough for your production. This was so much fun to watch. From NY, may the Force be with you.

[@spencerrnelson]

Makes me happy that you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment, may the Force be with you

[@ELBC97]

This is so, so good honestly. Choreography was on point and the cinematography was very impressive. Sound design and the frame-by-frame editing for the lightsaber must have taken ages. Needs more views!

[@spencerrnelson]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@obviouslyjoking9783]

That’s one way of saying that this is better than the sequel trilogy

[@mangamaniaciam]

The fact that they're discussing how the ending should be was priceless!!🤣 Definitely a great video!!😁

I love that ending twist so much And the choreography was simply incredible

[@spencerrnelson]

Thanks Erza! I'm glad you liked it!

[@macgyver5602]

I love how they just get right to it, they didn't even talk first.😅

[@macgyver5602]

Also love the ending😂😂

[@iljakrehov3620]

The backflip moment was aweasome!

[@lennysmith8851]

Damn better fight than anything Disney has produced with their massive budget and resources 🤣🤣 besides vader vs kenobi

[@spencerrnelson]

That comment made my day, thanks a ton!

[@johnmcaulay5938]

[@OG-Green-Ranger96]

[@smortz6790]

I can say with pride... this is utterly spectacular

[@spencerrnelson]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it.

[@theboneisin]

choreography better than sequel trilogy

[@spencerrnelson]

Thank you! Anything is better than the sequel trilogy haha

[@caljohn1475]

They should’ve hired these guys to choreograph the newer trilogy

[@spencerrnelson]

Thank you. Not sure I could top Rey's silly lightsaber swinging but I appreciate the watch brother

[@Mourym0]

this inspired me to make Star Wars shorts with my brother edit: so dope

[@spencerrnelson]

Happy to hear! That's how I started.

[@nicksysmail740]

Simply badass! To say you guys nailed it is an extreme understatement.....inspiring comes to mind! Hope to see more from you guys!

[@AceSpadeThePikachu]

Okay...was not expecting that "ending." XD

[@zaandarbrow]

This was actually really dope ! great camera movements ! yall should join saber comp ;)

[@spencerrnelson]

Thanks man! Means a lot!

[@DronemanJoeRc]

[@ViajandoeClicando]

Love these videos! I want 2 see more about it!

[@spencerrnelson]

Thanks man!

[@EndThusIAm]

Damn did that title take me back, I'm so old haha! Great duel!

[@spencerrnelson]

Hahaha I totally get you, thanks a ton!

[@cainsgalacticcreations]

I’m gonna be doing a light saber duel with my friend, what did you guys use for the lightsaber editing.

[@spencerrnelson]

We used Davinci Resolve in the Fusion tab. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGGcnpmve6t1h9U This link helped me out. The glow off the actors was done practically from the glowing electric blades in production.

[@cainsgalacticcreations]

@@spencerrnelson thank you so so much

[@j0eyboiii845]

Only 45 subs for this? Man you deserve more, way way more(edit: what lightsabers did u use?)

[@spencerrnelson]

You're the man, thank you! Here's the link to the lightsabers we used: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081RY8RB8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 We bought them in 2021. Visual effects were on Davinci resolve.

[@j0eyboiii845]

Thank you!

[@0nion25]

Looks awesome!

[@spencerrnelson]

Thank you so much!

[@Anakin200623]

Amazing video and VFX, are the hilts that you are holding for a baselit or neopixel? I think the blue and red lighting on you guys are from a saber correct me if im wrong.

[@spencerrnelson]

Thanks a lot. Yes the lighting on the duelists and walls were from a battery powered lightsaber: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081RY8RB8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Use your aggressive nature boy let the hate flow threw..lol great job on the vid!!

[@spencerrnelson]

lol thanks man!

😅😅 Very cool. 😅😅

[@spencerrnelson]

Thanks for your comment and for watching!

[@ck9363]

@@spencerrnelson Thanx 4 posting. Ima sucker for good lightsaber duels. I did not see that ending coming.

[@SuperMichaelGames]

What songs were used in this video? I'd like to give them a listen

[@spencerrnelson]

Walk Faster-Drum Version by Tomáš Herduek, and Babylon by Quinten Coblentz

[@Matthewtopia]

Bro this is sweet

[@spencerrnelson]

Thank you a ton!

[@TheDNW]

Choreography was really nice but the saber sounds were a bit off. Like the hits themselves, not the timing. Like...They made the wrong sounds on hit? If that makes sense lol. Super good fight though!

[@spencerrnelson]

Thank you! Yes, I agree the sound design could use some love. Thanks for watching!

[@buttchunksofdoomd4939]

No offense to your light saber effects but some expensive dueling lightsabers glow really convincingly, but the tips are almost always fake looking. This looks like something i would like to film

[@spencerrnelson]

Thanks for the input!

[@riversoleil7527]

i forgot star wars day was may 5th. (good job on the film tho)

[@colleenpark3004]

May the 4th actually

[@spencerrnelson]

@@colleenpark3004 Yes, we were a day late lol

[@spencerrnelson]

Thank you so much!

[@nickzwa]

you hide pulled punched(or pommel strikes) with the cameras angle. Im not a movie person at all and even I know that.

[@archangel9092]

audio sucks

[@spencerrnelson]

Sound design could use some work I agree. Thanks for the watch!
