Knights for Film, TV and Special Projects

If none of our ready-made programmes fits, we will help you build a custom solution. This offer is not a standard event package — it is aimed at production needs: filming, broadcast, stage or exhibition, where what matters most is historical accuracy and the ability to work to the creative team's script rather than a pre-set programme.

Our knights and horsemen adapt to different production needs in four directions: for TV shows we adjust the fights to the television format and to safe work in a studio; for films we perform stunt fight scenes together with stunt coordinators; for theatre and opera we build the fight into the director's vision; and at city festivals and parades we ride, march and carry flags.

Before every project we go through a technical brief with the producer or director: how many knights are needed, what kind of fight scene, whether horses are required, and what the filming or event location looks like. Only then do we put together a concrete proposal and schedule.

For films we design and perform stunt fight scenes: our team is trained to fall safely, fight for the camera across multiple takes, and coordinate with stunt coordinators and camera operators so the scene reads as dynamic while staying safe for everyone involved.

For TV shows and live broadcasts we adapt the fights differently — here precise timing and single-take execution matter most. We have worked on live broadcasts, so we know how long preparation takes, how to follow a director's cues from the control room, and how to keep a scene safe when it is filmed in a single take.

For theatre and opera productions we place knights into battle re-enactments and other directors' concepts — we work with the creative team from the first idea and propose our own staging solutions, so the fight scene matches the production's story, mood and the possibilities of that particular stage.

This format differs from filming in that the choreography has to work live, performed with the same precision every night, so the scenes are built with a safety margin and rehearsed together with the production's actors and technical crew.

At city festivals, historical processions and parades our knights and horsemen ride, march and carry flags — the programme is adapted to a narrated historical procession as easily as to a festive opening ceremony.

For a film set or a stage production that does not need our performers, we also offer authentic inventory for hire: costumes, armour, weapons and set decorations. Because this equipment is then used independently of our team, we include consultation so that every piece reads as historically correct on camera — from the type of armour to period-accurate details. This option suits productions that need only a prop or one or two performers for a single scene, rather than a full knight team.

Viduramziai LT is an experienced medieval knight team in Lithuania, working since 2004. We have taken part in productions, festivals and events not only in Lithuania but also in several countries abroad — from India and Kuwait to Italy, France, Denmark and the United Kingdom. For international projects we also have experience with logistics — moving inventory by air or by land transport.

Medieval knights only convince on screen when the armour and weapons look real. Our inventory consists of reconstructions of historical finds, so the shot holds up to both a careful viewer's eye and a historian's.

The team's knight fights appear in the films Saulės mūšis, 1410. Žinomas nežinomas Žalgiris, Radviliada and The Heirs of the Knights Templar, as well as in the PlayStation 4 commercial Welcome To The Future Of Play and Viasat's Endless Entertainment advertisement.

On live television we have appeared in Lithuania's Got Talent, I Can Do That, Super City and the Šapro Show; on stage and opera — in the plays Šarūnas and Palikit vardą Lietuvos and the rock opera Jūratė ir Kastytis. Larger events include the opening ceremony of the Latvian Olympic Games, an anniversary celebration for the capital city and the Kaunas Hanseatic Days.
