This. Is. BADASS!

Truly wonderful; I love how the visual narrative accents the serialised format  :D

BTW, what wushu is that?

He is using Capoeira for his acrobatics. We teach Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Wing Chun, Silat, Savage, Capoeira, BJJ, CSW, and Muay Thai. I teach MeiHuaQuan to the Club on occasion....so a Shaolin Flavor will appear from time to time..

Anyway, thanks! We are having lots of fun throwing these together. This " 1st " Season is more of a setup for what we have planned later. Unfortunately, a lot of members in this project have different schedules, so the story line is " organic " and continues to be altered as we progress. ( For instance, I was only slated for 3 episodes, now I'm in 6. Wanted to be more on the editing team. )

Working on episode 3 as we speak. As well as some Solo projects. Attacking the QRC tutorial today!

This is pretty cool, but I'm already lost. The first one made sense, but I guess since I watched them so far apart, I forgot what is going on. I guess I'll have to go back and watch the first one again.

So we got some " mild " damage after Irma passed by. Power is still out. Fence destroyed, shed destroyed. My training area is obliterated....but the house has zero damage so that's good. The project will be delayed a bit while I repair some things. That Kylo Ren Saber I was going to buy is out for a while now :( Happens though. Anyone  that was in central Florida, your in my prayers and I hope everything is Ok. Take care. See everyone after Jose. ( Looks like he will miss us! Im on the east coast of Central Florida, so only high winds god willing. )

After seeing all of the damage that Irma did on the news (which, I'm sure, pales in comparison to RL), I'm glad to hear/read that your house is unaffected (sorry to hear about the rest though  :().
Ryan, I look forward to the next installment...in your time  ;)

Regardless: I hope for the best for you and yours^^

Here's a challenge for those of you watching. ( Khaos, don't tell them! )

See if you can spot in Episode Four where Khaos HITS Sentinel. Hard ( By hard, I mean it happened by accident....was funny though....and we used it). 5 points for the winner!

Please keep these coming!  I am really enjoying Relic Wars  :)

It amazes me that you can tell your story effectively without a lot of exposition.  And the action itself is almost its own character  ;)

Wonderful job to everyone who made this!


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Taegin Roan on December 13, 2017, 07:58:43 PM
This is very cool, still loving it. I think after the next episode comes out, I should binge the whole thing, maybe I'd be able to piece it all together better.


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Resolute on December 14, 2017, 03:10:23 AM
Thanks!

As for the storyline, things derailed a little after Episode 3. Sentinel and Khaos were never suppose to even meet. Due to scheduling and losing some members we tried to move things around but I feel like it gets a little messed up in the middle. Things are back to normal after Episode 5.

Luckily we just wanted an excuse to try this stuff and find that we really like it. Using some different methods for the choreography. Most of the time if I'm in it I tell to attack. We purposely have the attacker use wide motions and the defender is allowed to move at any speed and with tighter angles. Freeform drill style.  One for One. Two for Two. Three for Three.and Three for One ( For the Soresu style members )

Anyway, enough jib jab. One more to go and thats a wrap....for now...



Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Resolute on January 26, 2018, 03:01:32 AM
Thats a wrap. Its been quite a journey.....very educational and a lot of fun putting together. Taking a break to learn how to use better sound FX and how to apply better 3d FX. I already have some new stuff figured out, but we will save that for next time. If there is one. Hope you all enjoyed our little project.

Sweet ending. I think it's time to go back and binge watch the whole series. Well done.


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: TheDutchman on January 26, 2018, 12:11:55 PM
I'm with TR: wonderful ending and now I can binge-watch  ;D

Seriously to everyone involved with the: THANK YOU!  I can't even imagine what it takes to produce something as incredible as the Relic Wars; from the choreography to the FX to the storyboarding...

Like I said: magnificent!  I can't wait to see your next project!


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Resolute on January 27, 2018, 06:51:39 PM
Much appreciated. We are taking a break to come up with another idea for a project. Probably won't be Relic Wars related. This time, we are also going to make sure that everyone can be there, and if they miss their scene, we reschedule and try again. This first season would of had a better storyline I think if we had the 3 missing parts. In any case, it was still lots of fun and we learned a lot through the process as well. Thanks again to everyone who watched!

Next project in the works. We were challenged to try a live action Star Wars Fan Film. Luckily, we already have our plot. Now just have to find some of the " cast " that doesn't mind a speaking part. Going to be lots of fun!


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Moonfire99 on February 09, 2018, 01:59:09 AM
Thank you so much for watching! It has been a blast and cant wait to surprise you guys in season 2!! Hopefully we will have more character development, especially for the three main characters.  ;D

Still working on a different project. Thought'd I get the communities opinions on some filter votes though. The J.o.E. are deciding over the next two weeks but wanted some public opinion.

Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Taegin Roan on March 15, 2018, 07:27:13 AM
I liked B, C, D, and E the best. My favorite being B and E. Can't wait to see what you have planned for us next.


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Medwyn on March 16, 2018, 12:03:24 AM
I must be weird but my choice is hands down "A". The cartoon stuff just adds so much extra for me...


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Resolute on March 16, 2018, 01:19:06 AM
Its A for me too. At the moment B is winning in my club, not by much. Then A, E, and C


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Taegin Roan on March 16, 2018, 01:35:13 AM
After watching it again, B is still my favorite, but I am starting to like A almost as much (if not more) than E.


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: TheDutchman on March 16, 2018, 11:38:31 AM
I am loving B but also really dig on C; the pencil hybrid just looks incredible!

But if I had to choose only one, B is my absolute favorite  :)


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Resolute on March 16, 2018, 08:01:03 PM
So A and B seem to be the favorites in the voting. Still have two more weeks but im Going to throw together a 2 part episode that features both. We had a lot of questions about the " catalysts " and what we meant by " Relics " so I plan on doing an explanation run through with two of our characters.

Also, I noticed a lot of confusion in season 1 due to the fact that the episode description is only at the youtube channel. Soooo...im going to do an extended Storyboard version that will have text that plays. Also going to put them all in one long clip. Thanks for the feedback everyone. Like I said, still two more weeks before we close the vote!


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Gar-Wi Musan on March 30, 2018, 03:38:14 AM
I think B is super surreal. I look forward to seeing this project regardless.   


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Resolute on April 01, 2018, 04:36:54 AM
So, after much deliberation. The LSC decided to combine A with B. This is it in its " basic " format. I have plans to enhance it slightly in the future.  8)

Outstanding Ryan!  Not only does it look fantastic but it still retains the "feel" of sequential art  :)

And props for the excellent choice in music (I LOVE the song "Sail" by AWOLnation)  ;)

This really gives me a better idea and appreciation for the dedication and work that went into "Relic Wars"   You guys and lady should be proud and impressed by your efforts.  I most certainly am  :).  Thank you for sharing this!


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Resolute on April 21, 2018, 04:35:49 PM
So we start Fliming Episodes next week for season 2! Doesn't mean I will have anything ready for quite some time. I will be posting a Relic Wars Season One " Redux " That is roughly 12 minutes long. I removed all the " filler " episodes and left the core episodes in. Doing this mostly as a way so people can watch it all at once. That way you dont have to hunt them down in order at my youtube channel. Changing the Music and leaving out the Sound Fx ( That would literally take a month or so to add. )

Calling the Redux Version - " Relic Wars - Quest for Power - Celldweller Edition "

That being said, season two is called " Relic Wars - Knights of Bendu "

Real excited to get going again. We are actually working on the Fan Film at the same time.

I have the green screen mastered and some new VFX, so this one will not be taking place on Earth....so no more parks, parking lots etc.  ;D
The background/atmosphere is just as important as the action/story!  I hope to have the S1 - Redux out by this weekend.

I just wanted to say, Ryan, that i so totally dig all that you’re doing with your shared passions of martial arts, Star Wars, music, and media to bring all this to life🤙🏻.  I realized the other day in my studio, that on a lot of levels- we’re totally doing exactly what we wanted to do as kids😁. Through these amazing products and tech, we actually get to be Jedi and intergalactic warriors- and we can share it! So one gigantic point for you, keep on saving the universe, and keep on spreading the fire!🤘🏻

We talk about that in all the time when we are filming or at a Club meeting. Especially filming. We officially start April 29/30th. Going to really take our time with this go at it. The Green Screen + Filter combination came out pretty good.

Here is the Redux version with the core episodes only. No Sound Fx.

About 80% done with Episode One. Moonfire will start a new thread when it is official. This go around is going to be a lot different. I don't plan on posting until I have 3 episodes, so I can stay ahead of it....anyway, im going to start putting out pictures as we go. You'll probably see Khaos(Moonfire) posting most of our media coming up once I go into full post production/Fx edit mode. Thanks for the support, we really have a good time putting these projects together.

Post by: Master Resolute on May 18, 2018, 01:45:30 AM
Bucky is awesome. Dont care what anyone says. I wasn't even a Cap fan until Chris Evans took on the role. Always been an Ironman ( or XMEN!!!!! ) fan.

Officially off the grid and working on Episodes 1, 2 and 3! Won't have time to train or do additional vid's. I'll still be around to see you guys training though.

Magna Ren on the prowl!

Not the final version due to the teeeeerrible angle. But I think you get the idea. We've also had a title change to the project but im going to leave it a surprise. If you count, thats how many new characters are joining the cast. Plus some minions....

Last one. The " Logo " for season 2. Will work its way into the title somehow. Probably get modified quite a bit as well. This is version 1.

Hi RyanG83Jkd ,

I have just checked out episodes 1 and 2 of series one after my friend Master Medwyn suggested I should.
Wow there is a lot of work and effort gone into these films, both in choreography and in post production!
I'll finish watching series one over the weekend ready for your new material. Thanks.

points inbound.

Full edit mode. Taking a break to share some footage that isn't making the cut. We've been playing with different Fx ideas. Getting better, its a work in progress. Not enough time in the day to master it the way I want.

my club thinks im being too picky, cutting out a lot of scenes that dont " flow ". In any case, I wanted the communities opinion. Should I star a separate thread for deleted scenes? We already have two, probably soon to. be 3. I can get those out with no FX ( besides the filter ). The project itself will not be ready for Ep1 and Ep2 for at least 3 - 4 months. After that, each episode should come out in 4 week intervals until the end.

I'll take your advice.

This is a one we shot about 6 months ago. I wanted to try to work it into the Season because it is a friend of mine that lives in a different state and we hadn't seen each other in other in about 15 years. Old high school buddy. It just doesn't have the same feel as all the green screen scenes ( say that 3 times fast!! ) we are working with. Hope you enjoy!

When you see a pause, it was where the dialogue was going to go. I've also gotten a little better with the Fx since this was shot. not as much as I'd like though.

Back on task. Only took a week off.....We just wrapped up a four hour filming session. the heat was literally melting all of our Sith Characters........some good bloopers because of it as well. Ep1 is complete other than adding some FX, chopping some of the longer fight scenes down. Here is the 2nd run of photos from Episode One.

Happy to have you on the Relic Wars Team Master Medwyn! When we get some deleted scenes from your episode we will Filter them, add some Fc, and given a sneak peak
 ;D ;D ;D

@ TheDutchman - Yes, some other...codes....might make it in as well. Episode One is going to explain the Relics and where they are in the Star Wars Universe. Originally, we were going to make it it's own thing, but I thought of a real " twisted " way to work it into Star Wars lore.  ;D

Lord Ravage could probably translate this is a few minutes. Plus, I think one or two words are messed up. But, you'll get the idea when someone translates it. :)

Surprised this hasn't been translated yet. In any case, we need the communities help! I have way too much on my plate. Any ideas on an overall basic " Logo "? We have 3 themes and an official ( seriously this time....OFFICIAL ) title for season 2.

Season 1 is referred to as " The Quest for Power "
Season 2 will be called " The Great Destroyer " and the 3 themes we are working with are. " Knights of Zonoma " , " Hand of Vader " and " Order of Saarai ". On a side note, our story takes place 70,000 years A.B.Y.

This first one is the Basic Zonoma one, which I want changed. I know there is a " Zonoma " symbol out there, but it's not for me.  ;D

much appreciated. Im officially back from vacation. ( why I was so active recently... ) and going back into the edit room. I'll be lurking.....

This is For those that couldn't follow our story due to the gap between episode 5 and 6, we provided this Battle Montage. Even the " Redux " version has the same problem. We had two cast members unable to make it so tried to work around it.....didn't work. We won't make the same mistake this time around.  Hope you enjoy.

If you've seen Relic Wars than all you need to know is the date for S2.  :) :)

Back to the Shadows.


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: TheDutchman on August 17, 2018, 11:13:56 AM
I don't know how I missed these last two posts... Sorry Res...

OK that montage was BADASS!  I absolutely loved season one of Relic Wars; tight action with superb choreography.  One critique (and please take this in the spirit it is intended: constructive criticism  :)): some of the captions posted and were gone too fast for me to finish and I'm a fast reader  :D

That said: I can't wait for season two!  And does "Knights of Zonoma" refer to the planet Zonoma Sekot?  And combined with the "Order of Saarai" I'm sensing a "Gray Jedi" vibe (or am I just reading too much into it  ;D)

My congratulations and thanks to everyone who's involved in making Relic Wars, especially you Ryan (or do you prefer "Resolute" or some iteration?)  :)


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Resolute on August 17, 2018, 02:27:39 PM
Ryan, Res, Resolute. All of them work  ;D

Much appreciated.

That was one thing the team agreed on as well. I have a new method im using for the captions. If it works, last years team wants me to go back and do the same thing to season 1. Otherwise, you have to pause it to read it.

 Still trying to master the use of this green screen. Getting close.....but still feels so far away.


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Resolute on August 21, 2018, 01:58:50 AM
After much deliberation. My Team has convinced me to pause Season 2 editing and fix the Storyline for Season 1. They want me to use my new method of storytelling so that things are made much more clear with exactly what Season 1 was all about. Should only set me back a week. Two tops. Still planning on releasing Episode One of Season 2 in November of this year. May not be the 18th like I planned, probably the following week.

It's all been a learning process. We are hoping by the end of Season 2 that this will be one of our " go to " methods for Storytelling when using a " Comic Filter. "


On a side note, the other project we are working on is Live Action. they want to enter it into some of the Fan Film competitions. Not my area of expertise, I do this stuff because it's fun. I joked around with the Team that the Forum has some great writers (much better than me....much , much better. ) and we should ask them to put something simple together that takes place in between Episode VI and VII. They said to do it. Thoughts?

Our current Projects in Order

1) Relic Wars Season 1 - The Quest for Power - Storyboard Fix
2) Relic Wars Season 2 - The Great Destroyer ( November 2018 )
3) Title TBD Star Wars Fan Film Short ( Begins filming in October if our Schedule holds.. I want to replace the script.... )
4) J.o.E. LSC Coordination, Control, Combat and Choreography Tutorials. ( Plan to release the first lessons in January of 2019 ) ( 67 members now!)
5) Into the Badlands Fan Series - Title TBD - ( Begins Filming as soon as the Star Wars Fan Film Wraps up. )

The way I set the club up, is that we have a " President/Grandmaster " that serves a 1 year term. That person comes up with the projects, events, etc for the group. My " term " wraps up in February of 2019 and someone else steps in. The reason I bring it up, is whichever member takes over will probably take us in a different direction for the year and these projects will slow down immensely. The " Council of Jedi " is made up of my founding members and we get the end all, be all say but have no plans on stepping in unless it derails the fun of the group.

That being said, The J.o.E. Tutorials should stay steady.
That's enough chatter for one day.

P.S. - Seriously....any writers out there with something they think we could pull off, help!?

I wish I could help you with the Fan Film story, but I'm having a hard enough time with my own. I finally got a decent story, but it was with the help of Karmack, TheDutchman and Lord_S_Gray. I'm still working on developing it into script format. That being said however, if you have any ideas, things you want to include, etc. I can certainly do my best to help you develop them into a story if you want the help. But I'd definitely talk to Karm, TD and LSG. They have quite the collaboration going on right now in the Fan Fiction section.

Looking forward to what you guys have planned.


Title: Re: Episode 1 of Relic Wars!!
Post by: Master Resolute on August 22, 2018, 03:30:33 AM
Thanks for the advice. We definitely are not short on ideas. With me doing a lot of the leg work and editing, it bogs me down and the Story line suffered in Season 1. Which it shouldn't have. The main problem we run into is Schedule conflicts. I've had better luck this time around, but the Season 2 story has changed direction at least 8 times now. Luckily, I gave myself much more time this go around.

As for the Fan Film. We have a general idea, but haven't even started writing it. No one in the club at the moment wants to do it. So I thought I would reach out to the US community.

Another deleted Scene. Originally we were going to do a demo for each character. Still might. This one is being taken out because the background in the second scene is not being used and we want " training " scenes to be either Sparring, or practicing Force powers. I didn't add any shadow touch ups or FX, obviously.  8) 8)

Master Medwyn, the background of the first scene should look familiar..... :)

First off: thank you TR for the shout-out  :)  And I've got to agree with him: Karm and LSG are SUPERLATIVE authors, their collective and collaborative works are ASTOUNDING!  But don't just take our words for it, GO TO THE FAN FICTION SECTION AND CHECK IT OUT!!!
