With friends I made a martial arts movie. Nothing special don't expect to see great choreographed fights, only I think our movie is pretty entertaining. Please download my movie and tell us what you think about it.

HEY!

That wasn't bad, good attempt!

Here's my comments:

1. Sort the exposure out! You've got loads of sunshine there, but it's causing the images to get sillouetted out! If you use a reflector you'll largely fix this problem!

2. The fight scenes were quite good, loved the high-kicks, wish I could do them! Little more work on the Choreography, and you'll have something great there! The guys throwing punched looked too apathetic! They need to be snarling more, like they're really cheesed off, and most peturbed! The guy in the black at the beginning was a little too easily beaten, although when he got knocked down to the ground, he didn't exactly struggle to muster strength to get back up and kick ass!

3. I liked the background music, but that's all you could hear for most of the film! You definetly needed to dub in some "Ooof", and "Aaarghh", and "Yeeehahs", possibly some "kablam" sound effects! It was a bit lacking without the verbal assualts.

4. The storyline sucked! ;) I'm sorry, it's my opinion, and I know the film was knocked together over a couple of days, but you could have had something slightly better! More of an arguement perhaps before the fighting started, with more shoving and standing off.

5. The drama bit was great! I loved it! I though "Dang, that guy got his butt kicked and the other guy is totally gutted about it!", so work on that some more!

Conclusio: Not bad, good start at film-making, good potential, keep working on it! Have a look at what these guys are producing : www.matthawkins.co.uk/ (http://www.matthawkins.co.uk/)
