Behind Amatuer Movie Making - Fight Scenes

Great job! I loved it. What fantastic fight scenes on a no-budget production. Of course, if you had to do it "legit," it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for insurance, actors, stunts, props, costumes, lighting, production design, direction, etc. I couldn't even begin to choreograph something like this on my own. It all looked pretty authentic to me, too. It's so true that most people don't realize the amount of work that goes into creating films (let alone films with fight scenes.) I can see some of the hard work you put into making yours. Very cool.

Good show dude. i like the fact that you actually admit your an amature video maker. Thats a good skill to have, honesty. As far as your behind the scenes piece goes, it needs a little work. Keep it moving fast. Cut it down to a couple a minutes at most. I know your proud of your new flick, but I think you gave away way too much in your preview. Learn to do an effective voice-over. While your showing the behind the scenes stuff, use a voice-over to describe some of the events as they are happening. Tell the viewer what you were trying to do, and what really ended up going down. Your text is yellow, the font is too pretty, and it just does not play well on tv. Make it dark and solid (I ilke to use arial black) Again, I think a voice-over could come in handy for a lot of this. I like to see all your bumps, cuts, and burses too, but shorten the shots down. Make fast cuts, like in your flick. Your on the right path, keep it up.

Loved it! Great idea for us amateurs- reminds me of the fun I have when making movies as well. Very well-organized, too.

nice clips from your movie :)

arent you a little nervous in fron of the camera?

good job with sounds effects!

Nice! Good insight into the world of amatuer filming...but didnt it hurt a bit?

Voytek, yea, i had a business guy next to me in the library that i was filming in, He was staring at me quite a bit, so i was trying not to be too loud. I would like to redo the talking part if the video gets chosen to air (because they don't let you submit an updated version without resetting your comments and greenlights)

And yes it hurt, but thats all part of the fun ;)

Nice work...

I have produced some short stuff and know how much work goes into a scene like this...

Keep it up!

"Behind the Fight Scene" Liked it, liked it, liked it - mostly for the insight it gave me of you! Consider shooting "on set" with a pro stunt person for fight scene - ur comments and reactions, born of experience, would be fun. Good stuff.

nice man, i would green light if if I could

awesome

very nicely done, nice cut scenes, nice pain lol. fell sorry for the head part. me and my mate have worked on stuff like this but only small stuff. i myself have fallen over quite a few times and yes it hurts the head. we did one where i got kicked in the stomach like you but he actually kicked me hard, and winded me lol. i was wondering in the movie do you actually have any guns shots. with a muzzle flash?

like the other guy said, its good that you admit to yourself been ametuer. i myself am and i have a few tips that i am willing to share..

im sure youd have some money so.
for the gun scenes, what we like to do is go out and buy a packet of flints. its around $2 for 20 i think. when the flints are heated up and thrown against the ground relativly hard they park a little and let off alot of smoke, all at once. this makes for a very, very good bullet ricochet effect.

i dont know if you have ever tried green screening either, very effective and very cheap.

also with the falling out of a tree bit, try falling differently lol coz one day your heads gonna split lol.

very nicely done indeed, looking forward to the movie, keep up the good work. damn, cant greenlight anymore, would definatly give it one though.

great job!
