Valentine's Nostalgia

I made a video book or gifbook based on the idea of valentine's nostalgia, from thefulcrum. They said think outside the box, so I thought, let's use the first european valentine letter as prompts to a computer simulation system. I had to break it up. I used deviantart dreamup to make three images for the first stanza while three for the second stanza. Then I used an art style common in the time of the poetry for each image. I chose the image that fronts the gif. But enjoy it all below. Read the description for more detail.

IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR

stage vs spare vs real

Stage fighting or performance fighting is one thing/ dueling with protection and rules is one thing so called real life fencing/ but the third is sword fighting in lethal situations. The problem with modernity is the lack of comprehension  that sword or spear or club or non projectile weapon fighting was a standard part of war, a standard operation on the field. the gun is the standard field weapon today but when the non projectile weapon was the standard that created another class altogether. In the past on a battlefield one may not have all the armor, may be sick, may have an injury, has no rules , these elements in my view, make the discussion of theatrical fighting versus what I will call weapons sparring limited. Compared to true non projectile weapons combat, theatrical fighting or weapons sparring are lacking. Duelling is about violence. I think sparring isn't about violence. Sparring is about athletic skill or achievement or nonviolent learning. Theatrical swordplay is about entertaining. One of the speakers mentioned the film "the duelist" but the same director made a film called "the last duel", and in it, it showed the duelling of war. In the film the duellist you have the dueling that led to many european fantasies, the closest thing to duelling in war in peace. But the purest duelling is violent, messy, tricky, really warlike.
