Thank you very much for the link Ilya
Exactly. Here it is in its entirety:
The second half of the video is "Tekken". And in the first there is a piece from the third (I think) “Universal Soldier”.
It's not from the latest movie, it's from a soft drink commercial.
The running bit (at 30 sec) from the showreel is similar to Ong-Bak. The roller works.
Ilya, what movie is this? Why is the video not working? Can you provide a link? ))
I agree with you about the operator’s servitude. In the east, everything has always interacted - choreographer + cameraman + editor! And the films were Asian and cheap.
Well, Florentine knows a lot about BI firsthand and you can feel his power! And by the way, he chooses very interesting plans for shooting.
Once again I am amazed at the wretchedness of the camera work. So many opportunities and so shameful to shoot.
Do the creators really have no idea how to “present” it in all its glory?
Just like it was with Jackie, Sammo and the films of the 80s.
The fight scenes with Sammo's participation still remain unsurpassed, and his skill in tough fights and stunts is sometimes simply amazing with its clarity and spectacular dynamics!
This is not necessarily the operator's fault. He is a forced man and in most cases he films as the director orders him. Plus the installation must be competent. Well, a small budget affects, first of all, the duration of post-processing.
Of all the non-Asian former fighters who became directors, Florentine stands out. Even on a small budget, he is capable of filming a “candy”, albeit a DTV one.
The French list it as a teaser, exclusively provided by the director specifically for the festival organizers. It is possible that we will see a remounted version before June.
Weak....editing...no contact...Battles are weak according to the trailer...John Foo...not very...
Well, finally)) I thought that it would never come out))
Was he really in post-production for so long, or were they re-shooting some scenes of the film all this time? excerpts from the trailer are old by the way, I saw them back in 2010...
There is an excerpt (sort of) from the last film, somewhat reminiscent of Ong Bak.
I don’t know, but that’s what it says on the office. festival website.
Interesting Facts. Thank.
Can foreigners study in a Shaolin monastery? Or has he switched to a commercial basis a long time ago?
