Roller Derby Promo Video

My 2 cents - there are a few instances where you flash the skater's name (I like the colors btw), but it doesn't stay there long enough to give the viewer a chance to look at the skater AND the name. Perhaps not cutting away quite as quickly...? :)
 
Okay, another 2 cents - the interior skating shots look a little dull. For higher energy, consider doing some CC to brighten it up and give it an edgy look. :)
 
Thanks Nexis I used the 3 way CC in Final Cut, the room as you can see was a god awful green, puke. Anyhow I may/should use Apple Color next time to CC.
 
It's a nice piece with some good bit of impact and style. I'd say though that you have too many intro pieces with the names and that for such a short promo unless you brake it up more and have them spread through the piece. Might be nice to see a bit of action.. then see a title pop in as it's all from the same spot. Add a bit of variety.

Man those are some hard looking ladies too.. Some look like real bruisers and less than "camera friendly" to say the least.


cheers though as it looks like fun...
 
I agree with both comments:

1. Spread the name/pose footage out and break it up with action footage (instead of breaking it up into 2 sections).

2. Color Correct the skating footage. It's dark and dull (color correction wise). Maybe use a film look filter and do something extreme (don't be afraid to mess with color and blow out the highlights).

Good music. Good length.
 
I def agree to leave a few more seconds on the free frame of the skaters. I was trying to check out some of the hotter team members and by the time I read their name they are gone!
 
Thanks for the suggestions about the titles guys, I plan to extend them, this is the 1 minute "commercial" for their site, we are doing a full length at a local club with no music that I can make it longer than the song:) I was going for rythmn in the piece nothing more or less. I like the extreme idea tfa I will play with that, the green was nasty to deal with fer sure....
