Balance of Power

topic posted Mon, January 14, 2008 - 12:58 AM by  Dante Lee
Hey all. Just wanted to bring this to your guys's attention. I'm a part of this Star Wars production (Live action, quasi-theatre/stunt group) called Balance of Power. So far there have been 2 episodes, and we are currently working on Episode 3.

Again, this is a LIVE performance. No stops, no effects, no wires, no help of any kind. Just a buncha people with some swordfighting and acrobatic skills putting them to use.

Go ahead and rate the videos, tell your friends, and if you're in the California Bay Area, give me a message here, and you may be able to be part of this wonderful production.

Episode 1 - Into the Lion's Den

Episode 2 - Ashes of the Phoenix

Episode 2 - AotP (credits/prop listings/fun)

He's got other video's on there as well (greytale, the director) regarding training and just other random stuff.

So what do you guys think? Discuss, and may the Force be with you:

    You all are awesome!!!
    Love the slo-mo transition in the fight in EP 1. Where do you perform this? I'd love to see it live!
    May the Force be with you

      We perform at whatever Conventions and theatres that will have us. We're based out of California, and unfortunately, there are litterally NO funds to go anywhere else. The costumes, sabers, music, venue 'rental,' transportation, and (sometimes) medical costs, ALL come out of our pockets. So it's kinda difficult to travel with it. So if you're not in Cali, sad to say you'd have to drag your ass out here.

      But i'm glad you like it. Tell your friends about it. Hopefully with enough fanbase, and the right people watching our vids, we may be able to get a sponsorship/extra side cash :P

    That was fantastic! Incredibly well done. I'm sure Mr. Lucas himself would be impressed!

      Thank you very much :)

      Actually, we learned that Lucas himself would be at BayCon as a guest speaker, which means that he'd have access to everything going on IN the Con. Unfortunately, we're not nearly ready for May 08. Which is sad :(
