I'm not seeing anyone else talk about it, but the camera angles in this room are ace. with the angles you picked you can really SEE what your talking about. This felt fresh and awesome and a lot like what I wanted to see from this channel
I totally agree. This was my first time watching anything from this channel, and it was really great to get the different views. I also thought it was a great idea to put the camera mounted to the dummy's head.
Thank you for putting into words what some of us have noticed but not yet commented about - specifically, Skall's creative camera work and use of props when demoing. I've noticed his demos have grown particularly innovative over the last few years. It's a shame he hasn't been invited to show them in TV documentaries and such.
Agreed. This guy is one of the best when it comes to demoing this kind of stuff. He is thorough and he takes camera angles and lighting seriously, and is also pretty objective, logical and thorough in how he does things. Sure he doesn't cover everything in exhaustive detail but that would take way longer and could get tedious. He is well detailed but not boring. Very nice
Doesn't even have to be sword play. Hanging lamps are a threat to simple daily activity. I have literally punched out a bulb putting on a shirt a bit too fast.
I concur, great professional camera work! Well presented! Did you have the Hermione moment? ;-) getyarn.io/yarn-clip/f354a05e-934e-42ad-bc1a-a2f971fed6aa#r1UxidPKcwH.copy
That house is a serious upgrade in every respect and a well deserved reward for you both :-) It's already made your videos burst into life with the extra camera angles :-)

holy crap skall the quality is so much more open, a nice room, dont have to worry about people or time, its cozy, its a more controlled space, this move greatly improves quality, i love it,
I really enjoy the clearly visible newfound freedom you have with the new house. I'd love some kind of house tour, as soon as/if you were ever comfortable with it.
The overhead view is such a great and elegant way of showing how you are getting your footage. It really helps the flow of the video that you don't have to explain that you're not threatening your camera operator.
And even if you're an expert an equally trained individual will know about that shortcoming and would punish you for attempting it. Just because you can doesn't mean you should
This is one of my favorite videos you've put out in a while. Informative and easy to digest, with lots of visual aid to get across points and keep the video interesting. You should put out more like these, showing the strengths and weaknesses of other commonly seen weapons and war implements.
1st video in the new house, Awesome! You can already tell the difference and that shows how important this change is for skall's content. This must have been a real hard decision to make for him but boy does it feel worth it right now.
You look so... relieved in this video! You can even see it on the thumbnail. It has brought me back to your channel by itself (not to mention all the other stuff that also other people point out). I'm so happy for you, way to go!
New place looks nice! Good points about shield use. Question tho: how much of a liability is a shield if the opponent grabs it? to both the shield user and the attacker?
If I remember historically, during one battle of Caeser and the Germans, his men got so tired of the German's blocking everything that they pulled the shields out of their hands
I agree with some of the other comments, the camera work in this one was great. I also can't help but see how happy you hare to be in the new house. Congratulations.
I love the new camera format. It brings a lot of life to the videos and really adds to it. The educational part is as superb as ever, so, yeah. Good job
I recall that there is a story of one LARP player using a crippled shield and a lot of bread to make a shield he could chew the pieces off before the battle. I hear it was really demoralising.
Okay, the intro deserves a like regardless of the rest of the content. Edit: I have watched the rest now, I love how this is filmed. Fantastic content Skall!
Congratulations on the new house. Not related to the video but how's the internet in Novas Scotia? I'm thinking of moving there but I need gigabit internet.
I haven't watched a ton of your videos lately but the way this one was filmed is awesome. I cant explain why I feel this way but it seems so much more engaged then your other videos
The new place is nice and the new style of video is incredible with the high behind the back pov and the dummy pov used like this. Awesome job Skall and i’m sure you’ll make even better as you get used to the new place even of this is a great start with this quality in the production. Molto Bravo!
It was a good video Skal! I felt compelled to watch it until the end. It was informative, you looked super happy explaining the manoeuvres, the camera angles were perfect
This was a great video, it was informative, you had the space to show the moves you're talking about, and the double camera angle works insanely well to illustrate stuff. You look like you're having fun with it yourself, too. House is not just a personal upgrade but you're really making the best of it for your production as well. I know I'm a month late, but wonderful work Skall, keep it up!
The move might just be the best decision for the channel Skalla has ever made. This video is about double the quality of pre move videos. Got me to activate the bell and comment to boost the algorithm.
Congratulations to the new house Sir Skallagrim, it’s so much better and enjoyable to se you be able to move and maneuver properly, the different angles bring a lot to it. Hope you find it as good as you thought in your vlog about it, good luck settling in and hope you’ll be able to keep das gud stuff coming
funny thing about video games is that bucklers and smaller shields are often worn at the start of your adventure, while large shields come into play as you progress and your equipment gets better. Ironically, you'd have it the opposite way, large shield at the start with weaker armor and small to no shield when fully geared. But that's what you get when your character is made of numbers, not physics.
Depends on the context. If you start out fighting local bandits with knives etc. a buckler is fine but against Warcraft-style orcs with javelins or heavy bows/crossbows you really want a big and sturdy board. Against dragons you obviously need something with immensely powerful enchantments on it anyway but ending the fire stream further away from your body is great for heat dissipation. Plus of course the more fantastic uses for large shields such as reflecting petrifying gazes or sunlight, absorbing attacks hitting the shield to empower yourself or throwing it as a bouncing projectile/giant sawblade.
Congrats for your new home Skall, it really boosted up the quality of the class you gave with more angles for the camera, and sneak Kara was quite nice too haha, I didn't noticed her until she parried. Very nice video, I hope you keep your good work, it's very pleasing and informative what you do, thank you for that, cheers from Brazil !
I can just imagine skall asking the realtor who sold him the house "I need a room with enough space for a training dummy, two camera set ups and still have enough space to swing a sword around."

I cant be the only one to admire that nice hardwood floor.
OMG can we talk about his dope ass outfit tho?
Those high walls and white rendering somewhat looks like renaissance estate or something.

Yeah, it's really awesome. We can see almost the whole thing fron that angle.
I totally agree. This was my first time watching anything from this channel, and it was really great to get the different views. I also thought it was a great idea to put the camera mounted to the dummy's head.
The beautiful hardwood floors help the lighting tremendously.

I predict that hanging lamp in the top left corner of frame isn't going to live long with the amount of swordplay this new house will get.
As someone with a hanging lamp, literally everywhere in my apartment (safe for the bathroom), I second this.
Just wait until for some reason it isnt in the video anymore ;)
Doesn't even have to be sword play. Hanging lamps are a threat to simple daily activity. I have literally punched out a bulb putting on a shirt a bit too fast.
Long as that nice hardwood doesn't get dinged. The lamp may have to give its existence for the sake of the vids.
@@mastathrash5609 glad someone else appreciates that lovely floor
Camera work on this kicks ass. I loved both the dummy go pro and the over the shoulder view.
Love the 1st (and third) person vs Skall thing he did there.
I concur, great professional camera work! Well presented!
Did you have the Hermione moment? ;-)
getyarn.io/yarn-clip/f354a05e-934e-42ad-bc1a-a2f971fed6aa#r1UxidPKcwH.copy
Totally agree! Great camera work! Excellent!
*insert annoyingly overwhelming praise*
But seriously though, Skal looked so happy in this video and that made it even more awesome. It's good to see.
The double camera angle is VERY helpful in understanding the maneuvers.
Wow, you finally have room to move around and swing your sword as you please for your videos!
So much room for activities!
Skall: hold my dane axe
I cried when you ran with the two shields, like a total goof, but I love the new camera angle very nice
Did it catch you... *puts on sunglasses* off guard?
Good old ‘Board & Board’
It made me laugh a lot more than it should have. Gotta love Skall
It's called dual shielding.
@@Mysticfox-wk2be *_YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!_*
That house is a serious upgrade in every respect and a well deserved reward for you both :-)
It's already made your videos burst into life with the extra camera angles :-)
That hardwood floor is gorgeous.
“Armour implies a state of mind in which one acknowledges the possibility of being hit.“ - Cracknut Whirrun
Same goes for shields, I reckon.
A standalone sword implies that possibility just as much. A shield or armor implies a significantly higher likelihood.
To paraphrase Miyamoto Musashi: trying to avoid your opponent is for losers, what you should do is make your opponent unable to avoid you.
Just started the video and I can already see you're taking full advantage of all that new space. Love the camerawork
big pro: You can paint something on the shield to say: "It me!"
Family tree of opponent. And you are always, at mother, sisters and daughter marked as "affair/lover"
@@falscher2 That's awesome! though it could be difficult to see what's going on from afar.
Im seriously liking that padded tunic you have i have to ask, where did you aqquire such attire
I believe that's the Asian Gambeson from Armstreet.

Nice house. I can’t wait until it’s fully decorated.
With cuts and scratches.
Can't wait to see what they've planed for helloween.

All this new space has honestly breathed new life into your videos. This has to be one of my favourite videos from you
Absolutely love the space you have now. Especially multiple views for cameras. Your thermostat had me thinking my screen was dirty though lol
Whoaa!! Look at all that space for activities!
Biggest con is the fact that it makes unscrewing your pommel harder
Why do you think strapped shields were invented?
But you can yeet your shield at your foes. I learned that from captain America!
@@mennograafmans1595 what if you have some pommels attach to the shield, ready to throw
JUST THROW THE SWORD
@@immortalsnail-xd7zv you, my man, are ingenious
Wait, a video from Metatron and one from Skallagrim in the same moment? That's not bad at all

Oh my goodness, awesome how you finally have a proper space to record and no pesky sound complaints to deal with.
0:00 I really liked the third clip. It looked like a devastating blow how it shook the camera. Thrusts are just the coolest.
I really enjoy the clearly visible newfound freedom you have with the new house. I'd love some kind of house tour, as soon as/if you were ever comfortable with it.
Glad to see you have space to move around in! I love the dummy GoPro setup so you can strike at the camera lmao
The overhead view is such a great and elegant way of showing how you are getting your footage. It really helps the flow of the video that you don't have to explain that you're not threatening your camera operator.
0:04 Lmao, this is why I love this channel to pieces
The fact other content creators for this subject do not like you channel blows my mind your by far the best
skall: "it obstructs movement"
also skall: **shows how to have more movement with a shield**
There are ways to work around it, but a manageable obstruction is still an obstruction. :)
And even if you're an expert an equally trained individual will know about that shortcoming and would punish you for attempting it. Just because you can doesn't mean you should
This is one of my favorite videos you've put out in a while. Informative and easy to digest, with lots of visual aid to get across points and keep the video interesting.

Wow, that hardwood floor is top notch. I bet you're loving the new house.

ZA HOOMAAAN WIF SOORDOOO!!!
You thought it was the mannequin, but it was me, Dio!

Yaaaaay!!!!!!! New studio!! Much hype. Also, dual wielding tower shields is obviously the best loadout.
1st video in the new house, Awesome! You can already tell the difference and that shows how important this change is for skall's content. This must have been a real hard decision to make for him but boy does it feel worth it right now.

This intro perfectly represents the channel
This could've been Skall rolling around on the floor saying "LOOK AT ALL THE SPACE I HAVE" and I still would've upvoted it
Nice video and all, but I was too distracted by how cool your new house is! Especially the hanging bat was too charming to ignore
Your camera setting is outrageous.
Also loved the intro bit. Great video.
Hahahaha! "No, how bout you don't?!" *stabs them in the face *
That was my favorite part of the video too. He definitely has some of the same energy he used to have years ago and that slightly snarky humor :)
The quality of your video is just astonishing, and they are so informative!
Thank you, Skall
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it.
New place looks nice! Good points about shield use. Question tho: how much of a liability is a shield if the opponent grabs it? to both the shield user and the attacker?
Get a lightning shield.
+5 to grapple resistance.
If I remember historically, during one battle of Caeser and the Germans, his men got so tired of the German's blocking everything that they pulled the shields out of their hands
This is definitely one of your best videos ever, just because of the camera angles. Takes everything up a few notches. That getup kicks ass too.

An excellent summary as usual. Thanks Skal.
I'm glad to see you in fine shape at home. It's lovely. I wish you well for what's left of unpacking.
The camera work here really elevates this a step beyond the old setup. Looking good Skall!

Fantastic camera angles. For a guy who isn't yet into HEMA in person, this lets me visualise things much better.
Duuuuude now this camera work is brilliant. The extra room and different perspectives are very effective. Well done Skall :)
