Ahh this was super good!!! I went and watched the original ESB dual immediately after and the parallels between them were spot on. Great job Nova!

Thanks!  It was a ton of hard work, throngs of scheduling, and I poured a lot of coin (what little I had) into it, but... here's hoping every Star Wars fan out there gets to see it!

Granted... yeah... the whole "how have I missed this" thing... hmm, IDK.  My channel & website are not exactly watched by the masses, and I simply don't have the resources, time, knowledge & know-how to get it all out there!  It is what it is, though...

Here's hopin' everyone shares the video to all the SW fans that they know!

The production is the first (and only?!?) one of its kind, and... after "going down the rabbit hole" with it, I'm not surprised at all *WHY* we haven't seen this kind of thing done before.  It was a massive undertaking, especially with such a shoestring budget.

Again, much thanks to my "ESB Live" team; I could not have done this without them.  Especially during the VERY hard times...

Full show (a 3-camera edit) is now available!

http://sabercombat.com/downloads/esb-live-show-3-cam-edit/

I hope to release more of the ESB content in due time, such as:

* Behind-the-scenes test footage (window, "steam hose", false hand, etc.)
* Alternate performances (BayCon 2014, etc.)
* Prototype skeletal "animation" of blocking the show
* Choreography sheets & NCSCS notation
* 1 camera edit, etc.
* Photos, montages, etc.


...but it's hard to say how quickly I'll be able to get to all of it.  It's a little tough on logistics to "do it all" with events, classes, sound fonts, sabers, performances, notation, website work and more... :)

Enjoy!

Awesome, thanks!

You can support these crazy, innovative and never-before-seen kinds of projects by... checking out the FULL version online:
SaberCombat.Com – Unleash The Force Within… SaberCombat Videos

Hopefully more videos are to come as DLC as 2015 rings in, but... only time will tell.

Happy holidays!
