    Beowulf 2004
    ~ AUGUST 2004 ~
    Our movie project for the month of August was "Beowulf and Grendel". We made about 40 helmets, swords, scabbards, shields, chainmail, belts and daggers for this shoot. Luckily we were allowed to design them according to our many viking research sources. Many thanks to Debra Hanson, the costume designer. She is wonderful to work for (and with).

    Anthony De Longis
    ~ APRIL 2001 ~
    We're supplying armour, swords and set decoration for an episode of 'Myth Quest' TV series. It's shot here in Calgary, and has two of our friends acting in it: F. Braun McAsh, the swordmaster for the TV series 'Highlander', and long time swordfighter / actor Anthony De Longis (left photograph). To learn more about this interesting and talented man visit his website here: http://www.delongis.com/

    It's also very exciting for us to again use our talents as sword fighters in a TV series. We were in an episode of 'Honey, I shrunk the kids' series as a large group of medieval swordfighters. And so again four of us are in this series! The episode is called 'Sir Caradoc at the Round Table', and we play both 'bad' guys and 'good' guys. [More Photos here: ]
