The Karate Kid Strikes Back?! No Way!

[theportlykicker]

Way! It's my latest film, and the first film I've captured with a firewire cable. Thank God. :b

The Karate Kid Strikes Back (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KJn7QcF6RM)

It's actually a sequel to a tribute/spoof video of the Karate Kid film that my brother made a while back. Basically, in the first film Daniel-san beat the Fluffy Bunny Karate Gang in the International Karate Tournament, and this picks up from there. Here it is if you want to watch it as well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpDI6mLvWBA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpDI6mLvWBA)

This is the first time I've exclusively worked behind the camera during fight scenes, concentrating on the choreography and camerawork. It's also the first time I've choreographed people other than me and my brother, and non-martial artists at that (Me and my brother aren't martial artist either tho). I'm proud of what they achieved as first time screen fighters.

Anyways, feedback would be greatly appreciated as always, as it helps a lot, good or bad. Thanks. :)

:lol Go Clive!!! :rollin

Classic - you're getting pretty good at this portly - can definitely see the natural progression in your stuff as you're getting better at it...
Nice editing, structure and humour - interesting fight scenes too - you've just got to get every one to really go all out for the fights, camera work and ideas are cool.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys come out with next - if the next improves on this as much as this did on your previous, it'll be damn good!

You can see you lot are loving it - that's what counts - i like the mix of your humour and taking the mick out of conventions - good stuff!

Well Chen, I'm actually in the middle of shooting a short fight film that will only last about 1 or 2 minute tops, to concentrate on the choreography and performence. So far I think it's best fight scene I've done, and I hope you'll enjoy it. It should be ready in the next few days.:D
