Absolutely amazing , friends. I have followed everything you have created and cannot wait for more. The history, the tactics and stories are top notch!

Fiore approves it! One of the most realistic sword fight in cinema history. No cuts through armour. Fighters use everything, that can brings victory - daggers, pommel, wrestling.

Well, yes, but actually no) The camera work spoils the impression a little, plus for some reason all the movements looks "fake", not in full speed, not accented, IMHO. This is obvious even when comparing this film with other videos of the authors of the film, for example, where they showed techniques in HEMA. So this is not the best fencing in the history of cinema, but it's still cool.

@@XonixDerps My guess would be effects and shortcomings in direction due to the length of the video. Not that it's badly directed, but keeping a sense of unity in the film cuts when displaying multiple fights is HARD. Most Hollywood movies fail at it. The spectator, subconsciously, will always try to make sense of space and time. The (hard) job of the director is to allow that with ease. There's also the notion of choreography that plays in it. The bigger it gets (and this one is far beyond the scope of a single duel) the harder it gets. matter of coordination, logistics, reshoots for different angles and splitting the recording to make it fit.... that's entering the editor's territory after filming. As for effects: they were lightly protected for the purpose of the video. Which changes the choreography as well. They have a duty to themselves and their fellow performers for safety first and foremost. Their Fiore series allowed them more protection, and, being shorter videos, also allowed for a set of camera triks that hid the finality of most moves. Longer media makes you use a bigger variety of angles (so as to not bore the audience), making you run out of the few tricks you can use to hide. They also don't enjoy thousand-dollar safe props and cgi. For showmanship, they also sacrificed probable for feasable. Which is ok by me, even if it might make die-hards frown (which is understandable to a degree) All in all it's still a worthy piece of media in what they were trying to accomplish.

Just watched it with my daughter, showing her the Fiore techniques I taught her put in actual use. When Sonia readied that stick with her knife behind her back, she said "that's gonna hurt" :-)

wow a movie were people getting wounded actually affected their performance and it was so nice to see that some hits got blocked by armor (21:45) so the defender could focus on landing a hit on the attacker (Also Piotr getting punched to death with gauntlets was a nice touch of realism)

I agree! Harness being used the way it should be! Against someone who's unarmoured, harness is a weapon in its own right, and I am so damn tired of seeing armour on screen that might as well be made of tissue paper for all the good it does!

People already praising the fight scenes, and they are right. AND, may I add, you've achieved with a few short scenes, that I cared about these characters. Well done, whoever wrote the story!

Well, it may not happen very often, but it certainly always makes an impression.. :D

I can not express how much I enjoyed this. The fight choreography was slowed down enough to be able to tell a story. But not so much, as to be cliché. This story felt real and impacted. Like how when the guy in armour appeared. The younger fighers were intimated, and the grizzled veteran met his opponent calm and calculated. All the fighters just felt human, nothing over glorified. In a way simplistic yet, Exhilarating.

It's here, warriors.

Magnificent. They're only going to get better, too. Can't wait to see more.
