Duel of the Dorks
2010
Duel of the Dorks was our entry into the eighth Lightsaber Choreography Competition hosted by TheForce.net’s FanFilm Forum. As with Alex vs Nate, we took third place, and were again commended for the overall look and feel, and this time all around polish. We made sure everything was 100% finished when we entered, as we knew that would be the version that is forever reposted.

Premiere
Duel of the Dorks premiered online in September 2010 as part of the Lightsaber Choreography Competition. That day, the guys at Friends in Your Head, who were the judges for the contest, hosted a live show where they gave commentary and critiques of every entry. There was also a lively chat room going the entire time. Check it out below!
