The Life of Reidy

Tonight I cheoreographed (sp?) my lightsaber duel with Duncan for Jamieson's new movie, "Scratch." It's basically a series of long, drawn out, ridiculously cool fights that move over a span of different people from all over Salem State. Most of the fights up until now have been pretty down and dirty, so we wanted to try something different.

Duncan and I switch up a lot of different styles of swordplay for this fight. We watched several amatuer videos on various Star Wars fan film sites and pointed out many of the flaws in hopes to not make the same mistakes they did. Of course most of the time, these flaws ended up being the mere fact that no matter how hard they try, these guys still look nerdy and lame when trying to lightsaber duel. But there was still plenty of cool moves to pick up on and expand for us to create our fight. We never use the force, and we certainly don't throw in the cheap punches. So basically this fight is nothing but straight up, bad ass lightsaber swinging and nifty stylized moves.

Or at least it will be, when it is finished.
