As we all know, audio is 75% of a fight scene, and here there's none...

It's even a one shot-thing... (yawn!)
(well, actually, there are two, but that's besides the point.

All feedback appreciated (and of course I saw a major FU as I uploaded it, but that's besides the point)

But this is test footy...

Gotta say dude IMHO, the fact that this footage has been keyed is really obvious.

I realize that this is just a test, but you asked for an opinion. It might be the background, but more than anything its the lighting on your actors.

There doesn't seem to be any source for the light, they are all evenly lit, it makes the effect of key really stand out.

I really hate to be someone that picks at other peoples work, but thats why they call it feedback eh?
 
Hmmm I agree on that, The lighting needs work and you have a lot of matte lines around the actors.

What keying program did u use because either its a cheap keyer or you need to learn how to use it.

Fight scenes need close ups, blurs and swings to make it interesting and action packed.

Sorry but I have to agree with lonearcher on his pointers.

I don't usually give heavy feedback but I take chroma keying seriously and I think it needs some work.

cheers

wish I was there to help with your fight choreogrphy.. and Michael is so right. For a fight you have to change the angle to "sell" the punch and the hits and they need to be less staged and choreographed.. they almost seem on beat and so staged. Just a bit of a nit picker being a martial artists and seeing people not able to throw a punch or that.. cheers

Since it was just a test I didn't mention the fight, but also being a martial artist I didn't think much of the choreography, but thats something that happens when people who cant fight try to stage one.
