Mark Bedell, director of the Maine Academy of Stage combat provided us with a very funny episode for the Youtube Contest called "Generations", which involves his stage combat class being overrun with vampires.
The episode has come under some controversy, however, since it features Mark doing a sword fight with a baby strapped to his chest!
The fight is well choreographed and the child is completely safe, but there are those uneducated individuals out there who don't quite get the magic of movies. I have offered my testimonial as a professional Hollywood fight choreographer, but they have been pressured by individuals who will remain nameless to remove their episode from the contest, which is a shame because it's well done and damn funny!
For more info on the episode, see Mark's page here:
