This is a fight seen I filmed with a couple of friends at school for some practice... It's a bit choppy in places but came out well overall.

The first part was cool, after that it started to fall apart; the sound effects made the fight seem all the more intense.

I actually liked it. What fighting styles if any do you guys actually learn. Was a little long for my liking. The knife fight was very evidently shot at a slow speed, there was too much eye and head movement for fast reaction times. Some of the angles were a littleoff but on the whole very good. Perhaps work on portraying the impact of blows better

Was a little long for my liking.

Yeah, I think it could have been a lot shorter (because it was just a fight scene)

I liked it very much though. What happened to the sound effects from punches in the second half?

[DEDFX]

pretty nice, i like the locker scene where you use the chair, locker door and belt. Where'd you get your ideas from?

[Gyro]

Good choreography except for the locker sequence, not very realistic. To maintain a better understandable battle, I'd request looking up on the 180 degree rule.

[ChemicalShaman]

Amazing work for just practice footage.

Awesome choreography.

cool, but i kept noticing the guys doods, freaked me out

[xander-prd]

how did u create that effect in the knife fight? i really liked it

Took me a while too download as I only have a 56k modem, no broadband in my village.

I thought your fight choreography was actually fairly good for practice footage.

I did miss the sound effects though which definately add to a fight scene.
Also and this is a personnal thing i'm not into slow mo, doesn't work for me especially in fight scenes because it takes away the intensity.
Not a fan of slow motion in action film making generally, a little is occassionally ok but overall not into it.

So for that reason didn't like the knife fight section.

No probs with a long fight scene if the fight choreography is inventive, 3 or more minutes is fine by me if footage is good, though 30 mins might be stretching it..lol

I thought the locker room scene was quite inventive, did miss the sound effects though.

Overall quite good.

really liked it! but it kinda fell apart after the original part in the class room. One problem, concentrate the sounds on the contact made by the fists and the kicks not so much the swinging. Like, there would be a "woosh" everytime the punched. But there wouold be a crunch or a noise made when they make contact. But you did a great job!

One more comment, concerning the fight choreography:-
During the fight there was more than one flying kick landed which in my book of film fighting is a finishing technique.
Instead your victor finished his bent over opponent with a punch to the face.

There ain't not similarity in power between a flying kick and a punch to the face (unless the kick is delivered by a small guy and the punch by mike tyson!)

Personally would have saved your flying kick for a finishing technique.

btw, a flying kick to the body could be recovered from (maybe) but a flying kick to the face for me is a knockout technique if delivered with power.

What??

[DEDFX]

yeah whats a dood?

[trabre2003]

Great choreography! Did you guys ever take any martial arts?

[Epsilon]

That was fun to watch.

[Famous]

Yeah i like the part with the knife.. Kept missing!

[iCEbLuEORbitZ]

this was pretty good, exept for the hits were pretty unrealistic sometimes... like the part where he grabs the guys arm and they just kinda stand there for a second, and he makes no attempt to actually break his arm or something... also when they are on the ground and he like flips his foot towards his butt and it makes the other guy fly back?? that move would not have any power.

[FabiJ]

If you really want to know, dood is another word for ... balls?

[windog]

why did his balls freak you out? and why are you looking at them anyway????

[Vamp]

?

You never see his balls, wtf are you talking about?

[ct_bullet]

hey just thought i'd add, i meant to put duds, it was a typo, u no boxers, n how the hell did you all get onto the subject of balls

[Radiate]

Lol, pretty good although some parts were kind of choppy.
