Agreed, its only while moving in it that it shows itself much, as the slightly odd reflections could just be because the environment has inconsistent lighting. The plate's finish looks good, and the brig... bloody hell its nearly identical, but looking at the shoulder on the brig as he swung the sword it was very apparent in how it creased something was off, sound (for video at least) is actually better in the fake, as it doesn't make that clink that is sometimes picked up by the mic, authentic as that is, and a few other times the flexibility suggests it is fake, as we have watched Shad in his real one enough to see he is either really on fire today, or fighting less resistance. Overall bloody impressive stuff - perhaps a slight stiffening of the shoulder on the brig so it creases more like the heavy metal ones.

The foam pauldrons are the real key. They don't have the curved edge in the front and are bigger (covering slightly more area) because they can flex. (And thus not becoming inhibiting despite the larger size.) The down side is that the foam or Dragon skin(love that, although usually when you fight them you look for the gap between the scales to penetrate the skin... but I trust Shad.) It still holds its bent form slightly, since it is not a rigid material like metal. I think its an issue, although still convincing to unsuspecting persons (me) despite its obviously odd look.

The pauldrens bothered me from the beginning, but I had no idea why until he explained it. So Shad, if you see this, pass on that the pauldrens need a little bit of work, but everything else is great.

Can someon look at 4:02 for me, I think there is a cut in the video

Shad has officially gone 4 parallel universes ahead of all of us.

Brigandine mixed with plate is just stunning.

The combo of the fake brigantine and the fake plate arms/shoulders looks dope

I’m just imagining Wrymwick considering a sponsor for Chad and then hearing the forty different pronunciations of them throughout the video and going “we’ll need to work on that a bit...”

So annoying when any youtuber repeats different versions of the name they are not sure about but not bothering to learn the name of your sponsor? Damn, I expected better.

Me: "Shad looks like he's getting a lot more comfortable in his brig!" Shad: "it's non-metal!" Me: ......but Shad make clankie clank noises...

This is true and this is how I identify good armour, the more clank the stronger I don't know why that's how I identify it

Shad just keeps amazing us ❤️

Thank you!

Shad wears armour for his videos because he's out here battling the algorithm.

Shad: "There's a good reason to use fake armor." Me: "Fashion!" Shad: "Reenactment." Me: "o-Oh, right yeah."

Fake armor is for commoners. I'm no commoner, I'm a !!!DRAGON!!!. Only the best enchanted plate is worthy of me.

You definately got me fooled with your brigandine, especially the green screen as you switched between them like a breeze.

The fake brig one is a little lighter in color and the pouldrens flex and bends a little more. But I love this, just shows how little difference there is. THEY JUST LOOK SO REAL. The only problem SOUND. But love this video and you channel.

When it came down to the brigandine, I knew *something* was off but couldn't quite put my finger on it I caught on when you played the music

Shad is just the kind of dude I wanna be homies with. I’m proud of the guy.

And now you'll actually see all along, I've not been Shad at all! I'm actually Chris Hemsworth!

When talking about film especially, this kind of armour could be especially interesting for stunt performers because of the added flexibility, lighter weight and and it being more affordable thus being less painful to have damaged.

Not to mention you could easily include rigid pads inside more expensive suits/stunt suits, so that the movement is right, and even more protection for the performer.

Lighter, more flexible and affordable than what? Authentic looking steel armour is totally unheard of in film. Most costume armour even for lead actors in big budget movies looks even worse than Shad's armour (which looks terrible.) and is made of soft, synthetic materials already. Has been for over 100 years. Costumes mass produced for the general public aren't at the forefront of synthetic costume technology. You're going to see much more advanced stuff happening on 200 million dollar film productions. We aren't getting the best of it and we never will, not unless we do it ourselves or buy custom.

@@7dayspking so you're both saying that big budget costumes look way worse than what is shown here but also that big budget stuff will always look better than what a consumer could purchase? Of course, outfitting every main character with an authentic suit of armour worth multiple grands is not economic within a movie budget and thus cheaper alternatives are sought. My argument is that what shad has presented looks miles better than most stuff I have come across in cinema and by it's more affordable and flexible nature as opposed to steel could make for a valid alternative to film makers interested in historical accuracy.

@@galumir I said you're going to see more advanced 'stuff happening with costumes' referring to materials, production techniques and costs. I was referring to work custom done for film productions. Not the mass produced, decades old costumes they often rent in bulk for film. This synthetic armor of Shad's costs nearly 'multiple of grands'. It isn't affordable. It costs about the same as a low end historical medieval battle kit, think on that for a second.

Its not even april fools day and yet... I've been bamboozled!

27:48 shad looks like a medieval archer with mech arms.

Some of the wyrmwick helmets look sooo good.
