This short film was shot in London Soho's district notorious for being the red light area of London. It is a vibrant area that has many sights and sounds of modern culture with Bars, restaurants and jazz clubs. Sit back and enjoy this essential area of London. Thank you also to everyone for their support on my last short 'You Can Change'

Hey Mark, looking good as always. This has a really nice quality to it. I found it a little too dark in places, but I do love the way it looks. I'm amazed you didn't get harassed by some of the shifty looking doormen.

Thanks Joe thats most kind, I had a bodyguard on the night and permission from the police to film. But most was shot on Zoom so at distance I can say there was a few tense moments that night...

Hey Mark,

The piece is definitely in keeping with your style. Like Joe, I felt it was a bit too dark in places, but I've learnt that that is one of your styles. You've got some great visual and you've picked a great up beat track to suit.

However, I felt in a few places that the edit didn't utilize what the music had to offer, if you know what I mean. Personally, I think reediting this piece would take it to the next level easily.

I had the same question as Joe with regards to feel safe, while I was watching.

Shiv...As you know I like dark images a lot, but I know I am not the only viewer. Thanks also for the in depth comments, I edited for spontaneity and went for the mood of the area but you have a point. I could make this a better edit but should I is the question?
The area has an edge to it and you are never sure if something will happen just in front of you. Anyway your comments are always welcome again many thanks Mark.

Please? You can play with the edit on your end and if you think it makes a difference then you can update this version. I know editing takes time but I also think this piece will be more powerful.

Max,
You might want to take a look at the first article in our help section
ExposureRoom Help

Mark is obviously free to give you his encoding parameters, but seeing that he is in the UK and it is 2:30 am there at this time, I thought I could get you some info.
