vids to inspire the new guys???

Post by Malcolmthebold »

there are lots of pics.

there are a few interviews.

with the popularity of recent awesome vids, i was wondering if it might be worth looking into adding vids to inspire the new guys.
just a thought.

Personally, the clips done by Underachiever films where what got me to try SCA combat. There used to be more but I can only find this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGMpyEJV ... r_embedded

Had a classmate direct me to the site. Watched the video, two weeks later I was in armour at my first practice, 6 months later I was authorized and fighting at Pennsic. Yeah, I'm melee guy. :D

FWIW I also used the same clips to get various friends to try it out. Got a few to come to practice a couple of times, I think one even attended an event.

Here is one for a guy that wants to do an 18-month documentary on the SCA and its aspects. Looks like he wants to do a nice, respectable one that does not portray us as rejects from "Role Models"

This is more along the lines of 'Will either make a new guy have a crap on the spot, or else will hook him for life'

I'm kind of an odd bird, but I think this video is amazing :twisted: :twisted:

These guys are two of the best, and the production is well done. I've shown this video to new people in Æthelmearc, with great success...

That is Lord Thaddeus the Legless vs Lord Cain
Thaddeus is a fun fight he is doing pretty good especially since he lives in small town thats out of the way.

I like the "Learn from the pain", video from Estrella a few years ago. Alas I couldn't find it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of3MLoryh9A This one? It's a pretty cool video. Might be NSFW for some mild language.
