    Man, it looked like a deathwish to me at times. Great editing and filming. I'm interested to know how you actually filmed some of those shots, like the rear, high and low shots. Was it all hand held camera work?
  • Empire plus 1 year ago
    Thanks for checking it out and digging it! Nearly everything is handheld. There are only two tripod shots in there.
