"Nine to Five Ninja" by msconce

I mirror Shaun Patricks sentiments. I really liked the begining, not sure why others didn't, and I definitely see the Hero element. Great work. I laughed out loud at the Scot.

I loved shooting the beginning and just building the base of who the guy was. I am glad you can see the hero in the Ninja Master and I am glad the Scot made you laugh! He had a blast doing this. Later on in filming I turned around and he was with the ninjas doing the intro rap to "The Fresh Prince" in his kilt and all! haha!

I can't wait for more of you to review the film! Woohoo!
I am happy with the feedback we have received so far, and think I have learned from it. "Only you.....can prevent fo-rest fire-s" hehe

Gotta reiterate--

The beginning was actually the best part of this. The fights seemed to just be too much for the production, though I see the mass effort.

I'm jealous of you guys and everyone else whom did something. Great job, once more.

I really dug this one. It had a great 80's Dolph Lundgren/Steven Seagal direct-to-video action movie look/feel to it--I mean that as a very high compliment. Great job!

I love it!! Those were great old movies. They didn't take themselves to seriously and kicked major buttocks! Thankyou for the compliment and I hope to go up from here. I definitely want to get better each time I make a movie. Woohoo!

Thank you for your feedback. Could you clarify what you mean by this?

The fights seemed to be beyond your actors, is what I meant. Not that they aren't athletic, but they didn't look like they were actually fighting as opposed to going through the motions.

That's just having people who know how, though. Learning how to throw a punch or a kick the right way, even reactions to punches and kicks.

Though I think every herofest short suffered from the same fate. It's just hard to really have believable fights without the cash anyway. So it wasn't meant in a bad way, just an honest opinion.

Though I do want to say that you have the best camera direction out of all the fight scenes in the fest. =D

Bingo!! that's what I meant in my post about possibly speeding up the fighting. This way, it at least looks like they are moving a little faster instead of a choreographed sparring match.

Its definitely one of the best fights of the 'those with fights'

Ah, I see what you mean. thankyou for helping me understand. I think we need to work harder on the choreography next time and have an actual session where we practice it, instead of only a few hours before shooting. We only had two days to shoot the whole thing (The master was only available then), so we were a bit rushed. I appreciate the feedback and learn much from hearing it. I still really like the choreagraphy

Thanks, that means a lot.

Hey Edgen, thanks for the tips. Speeding up the fight could definitely help!
