Awesome. How did you do sound? Obviously most of the FX is foley, but did you have a shotgun w/ recorder separately? Or wireless hidden on the guy with the coat?
 
I think this proves why cinema folks get so worked up about using 4K - I was watching this short film in the small player at HD, and it looked pristine: not a single speck of noise, crystal clear quality, ect ect. It looked like something you'd see in theaters, if not better. Then for the heck of it I switched to Full Screen and the video looked pretty bad, noise and clarity wise. Could be just the Vimeo compression, but I would bet the original file at full-rez looked just as bad. I at least know Canon files are like that, noisy as heck, and yet if you squeeze the video down to something small, the noise pixels simply get too tiny to see. (Same goes for the blurry low-quality pixels - they seem to get too tiny to see and the whole image turns sharper as a result.)

But yeah, I love everything about this video, not a single thing was over the top, there wasn't any bad skin tones, the whole thing looked great. For the blacks, it seems like you cut a small end off the black range and turned the loss of info into slightly grey areas instead. I mean, it doesn't look grey, but it makes the shadows still look exposed in comparison to the black border of the video, and I think this is an important step to do when dealing with cameras that don't have a tremendous range about them. I think folks should always illusion their shadows and highlights a bit, and I think this video shows what a comforting look it can bring with just a tiny change - nothing over the top like the blue-and-green shadows you see with some videos.

Like, it just makes your shadows look less like a void - I think this is especially important with the in-the-car shot and the shot behind the competitor's backs (where they're wearing black clothes). If the end of the range wasn't cut and smoothened, it'd seemingly look like an abyss.
 
Nothing worse than watching martial art HACKS, what are these guys white belts, or less? They were slow, moved like old ladies. GEEZ. Haa, im just kidding, pheww. this was good, I had a good time watching it. These guys were very good, EXTREMELY PRECISE IN THEIR MOVEMENT. And the shooting was awesome as well. Nicely done!!
 
I really enjoyed this and just got wrapped up in it. Students did a great job on this and really well timed. How many run throughs were there to get the right take?

What a load of BS,Then why when i watch my GH2 footage on screens as large as 60" does it look as good and often better than the broadcast HD channels especialy if they are using grainy film material which is rare now i know.The 9-18mm [i have one is not a low light lens]
