Very Powerful. EX Production.

Walter, you and the team have have a damn good job on this. This is a great story. The vioce over was done very well, the acting, all of it top notch. Not to mention the cinematography and editing as well. All very professional. Good job.

thx

Hey guys, thanks for the comments.

I forgot to put in the description that this was a 48 Hour Film Festival production so everything you saw, heard and maybe felt was put together in two days.

I'll also agree with you about the actors. They rocked and pulled out some great performances.

Thanks again,
W

This was great!

I thought that this was really, really good. I liked the overall color and how it leaned towards green/yellow.

Your blog post mentions 1/3rds of the film - Part One being the setup, Part Two is the workout montage, and Part Three is the final payoff. Part One seemed a little, well, I don't know how to say. I'll say that Part One was just "OK." But don't fret...

I liked Part Two a lot. The workout montage was great, the different angles of him doing pushups - like a machine, up, down, up, down. It would have been nice to see a closeup of a muscle straining or a tendon tightening during this part, maybe a vein pumping. But very nice overall.

Then, in Part Three, you've got the overall payoff of the story, which is great. I liked the story. But I loved the camera work. Once his "problem" is fixed he's wailing away at the heavy bag and it seems as if the camera is punching in slightly with each fist slam - like we're being punched too. Very nice. Lots of whip-type pans and jerky movements (shoulder? Handheld?). I liked this section a lot. I'd give that series of shots a full-on 5 or 6 rating.

Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see more.

Great Job!
How did you do the colors?

Thanks
James
