This is the sequel to HVR. Hopefully they do improve as I go along, fingers crossed the next one will be better. A better location will be sort after for the next one. As the background can get a little distraction in this one. I will not be doing another one in the dark again, as it is difficult to get the edges right.

Fighting, good (though somehow used already)... Could be better sync with the sounds... not a lot of grading.... hmmm... Overall, good clip with bad sound... Effects could be better, but... It's ok. Better camerawork than mine... maybe because you have 3 people doing this and i have only 1 + me

Yeah, stick banging was the problem with this. The two guys were simply making their sabers meet at a seemingly predetermined point. IMO, it shouldn't be too hard to make it look authentic. Simply angle the blows so that they seem to be traveling at the other guy's head. It may end up somewhat painful, but not so bad. It helps immensely in a duel just to add those little things. The lightsabers look quite good, but the core seemed a bit too clear-cut. This probably comes down to taste in the end, but I know that adding a sort of blend to the entire thing makes the sabers' core look much hotter to me, not to mention a bit more realistic. As you noticed, it was too dark. Maybe you wanted it that way, but it can be done with grading while still remaining possible to see what's happening. Good job overall, I'll give it a 3/5.

pretty cool effects, liked the lens flares and stuff. The lightsabers blended in well with the footage, so props for that. You really need to work on the fighting though cause it wasn't believable at all. It looked like two guys hitting sticks against each other. The point of a fight is to kill one another, but it really didn't look like that's what you were doing. It looked too planned. But good job anyways, I hope the next one IS better. 3.5/5 for real looking lightsabers
