A long time ago we published short film "Two bellmen", uniquely advertising to viewers the delights of the hotel "Marriott". The film tells us about two bellhops who save a hotel from robbery.
Now we present to your attention this video with a Russian translation made specifically for fight-films.info. Translation completed electricity, for which special thanks to him, adaptation and voice acting - Ravenside. Watch with the end credits!)
I can't say I really like the video overall.
But it has obvious advantages for me as a viewer and for a voice actor.
Firstly, of most of the videos we deal with, it is well made cinematically and looks quite expensive. That is, more or less, with a claim to something.
Secondly, there are dialogues, there is something to play and where to unfold. It's not boring to work on.
But it should be treated as a kind of advertising for the Marriott Hotel.
Perhaps the creators did not use humor and fights precisely because the film can also be shown as a commercial video. They made the fights so sketchy, sloppy and highly exaggerated to make everything look neutral. In principle, the fights could not have been done at all.
I have an assumption that either the hotel hired some kind of stunt group or film group, or the dudes themselves wrote the script and approached the hotel, they say - we will promote ourselves and you for one. Therefore, for a comedy short film there is little comedy, and for a combat short film there is little fighting. And in the end it turned out something like this. The goals of this video are a little vague. It seems good, but it seems to lack some sharpness, bitingness, intelligence, aphorisms.
And in general, it looks more like anti-advertising for the hotel: the thieves entered the hotel so quickly and did all their work.
But, I repeat, unlike most videos, here we see an attempt to make a movie. Film a story, give the characters characters, dramaturgy, albeit simple, add some tricks.
Not to say it's great, but it looks average. Shadow of 13 is much better.
A great movie! It's strange that I haven't seen him before. You can say a lot, BUT... it’s better to watch it again... and probably again! Thanks for the work done to our Combat CINEMA SPECIALISTS!!! Guys, you are GREAT!!!
Speaking of permission. In general, something went wrong with these moments. I decided to rewatch “Shadow of 13” the other day and what... Kukish! the author closed the entry. Moreover, it turns out that the second episode was filmed. I watched the trailer. It aroused even more interest. So... the same situation! That's tough!!! And the question arises: Why post this on YouTube if it’s CLOSED anyway. Delete and that’s it, no.... You need to incite the people.
Ravenside, did you manage to get permission from the authors of the video?
electricity,
They didn't answer me. Well, we decided to post it this way and left a link to the original video in the description.
