Not to shabby for a first time movie maker. Your music would fit fine with the type of atmosphere but you just need to find more dramatic images and what not. As for Jaybob, I'd like to see you make a better movie. Keep it up Alex, you'll get better!

Made a little movie there? It's a little over-dramatic with the Shaolin Soccer music lol. Get some action from different angles so the movie is visually entertaining. I guess if someone does a cool move, you can slow it down right before he does that move. But with the choice of music, it'll be hard to sync the slow-mo with the music. A few transitions would probably help too. Yeah, and the movie su><0r

Haha, that blue shirted kid's a hustla baby! But yea, agreed with that whole dramatic stuff. It didn't keep me interested long enough. Good start though. :]

haha cool stuff alex! it has sort of an indie-film feel, because of the camera movements. don't know if that was intentional or not, but it was cool nonetheless! that little kid looks intense! haha.

I think the footage and the music go well together, definate potential, although there was no peak. All the action was thrown in your face from the get go, which can work, but never really went anywhere. Kind of like droping someone in the middle of a crowded street. People tend to want to get warmed up. Maybe at the beginning, start of with shots of them preparing themselves... putting on wristbands and headbands, preparing their chosen equipment, warming up for the meet! Then peak it off with the intense, hardcore, in your face table tennis action!!.. and then mellow off with a victory or some sort of ending. After all that excitement people want some closure, and it gives the film a sense of going somewhere. A good "curve" technique... start off soft, slowly rise to the action...climax!, then mellow out.

I played table tennis before. I sucked at it. So did the people I played with. I think it's time you made a rap video. You provide the hoez and I can be the hoeslapper.

Good firm....needs work on camera movement, maybe you should invest some $$ on a tripod. Good stuff!

i agree with the guy above, camera was a bit shakey, but not bad for your first try. If you do a music video I would be glad to help, always wanted to do one of those

extreme filming man. I think table tennis enthusiasts would definitely appreciate the intensity of the film. I'm not sure what KzoBattousai was talking about cuz you did start with some shots of warming up and headbands being put on...either way i enjoyed it, but i think i would've liked to see other locations where table tennis was going on. can't wait to see the next film!
