I really enjoyed this. I loved your editing and your use of internal movement within the vid. And the cutting between the two women in his life was phenomenal. Extremely well done. =)

Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it. I always try to use internal motion especially with the vocals so I'm happy you mentioned it. Thanx again.

Damn, great opening. There's so much motion in there with the titles too. I applaud your constant ability to edit three movies into something coherent and not a mess of storylines and characters. Nice use of the drums without overusing them and making the vid predictable. I also loved the intercutting throughout and the jumpcuts.

Thanx a lot Kiki! With these movies I had to ignore the political subplot and focus on the main characters so if the result is coherent that's exactly what I was aiming for. I always try to make my beat editing as unpredictable as possible so thanx for pointing that out and I'm glad you liked the credits.

Dude! *flails* What a ride. You got me from the word go. That feel of slight detachment and disorientation and those overwhelming odds against him, you establish it beautifully (if that was indeed, what you were going for - otherwise please to ignore my ignorant ramblings). How closely and delicately you cut and time things to the music, all those intricate bits - I always absolutely love how you do that. And those bits where you hold off and it slows down a bit especially have an awesome underlying driving tension

Wow thanx for the detailed feedback

Welcome!

Marie *facepalm* that's right. Thanks. Also 'I knew exactly what I wanted to make before I even cut the first clip so maybe that's why it's not messy.' Yeah, a good inspirational starting point is a very good thing to have. No doubt. But to pull it off this beautifully? I'll stop now before I leave a flailing mess all over your lj ;) Thanks again for sharing, this one is a keeper for sure.

Your action vids are awesome. They just flow, and everything's tight and cohesive. I love this.

[balistik94]

Thank you I really appreciate that!

Another week, another quality Balistik vid.

This is the 2nd relationship/action movie trilogy vid I've seen in as many days (Castors was the other one) & the 2nd time I've been thoroughly entertained! Your jump/stutter cuts were made of win (the whole thing is cut very tightly) and the way you wove the 2 women in Bournes lifes in amoungst the action was great.

2 thumbs up!

[balistik94]

Thanx that means a lot coming from you. Yeah Castor and I entered a competition that's why we released our vids almost at the same time.
Glad you enjoyed the editing. Thanx again man
