it looks nice

For sound effects... the wooshes are not 100% perfect, but that can be because of youtube and compression and stuff...
Try to move the woosh sounds in the ninja 1 frame "forward in time" or 2 frames, and see if that's better
And try to move the first woosh 1 frame and the second 2 frames.. (all around 00:02)

And push up the dialogues a bit...it's drowning in the music little bit

Thanks I'll try on next ones.

watched the first one...nice action scenes for just being friends. Very nicely done.

Have you made any longer shorts? You have a very nice visual style and a good sense of action, and i'd love to see how you handle a more complicated story.

Thanks, Id like to film something longer but its just friends when off work on weekends and what im able to do is just small action scenes filming for 2-3 hours after work before it gets dark also im not confident yet with them talking to each other in front of the cam for too long(which would make the films longer) but im hoping to try out something soon, im trying to do something short so i could film something later which could be edited in AFTER or BEFORE one of small action scenes.
In reality when filming action it was like 9 bad takes and 1 succesfull one and one so/so but im learning and theyre learning too and at the end its my fault that i let the bad takes pass through and didnt tried one more time.

Hey mate,

I think they look great, nicely edited too. What camera did you use and I assume you're using a dolly system too?

I'm based in Warwick, so a little way away from you but I'm looking at making a new short soon so if you're available it would be great to hook up.

Wow! The first one is great!

What equipment are you using?

[bwwd]

Thanks, 550D and tripod with small "trick" to make dolly-like moves, Im open to suggestions it's always more experience and I'd like to film much often so send me PM with ideas
