Filmed in HD on a Sony 900.

We went to Brazil to film a promo for a series that we were co-producing with a brazilian production company.
Things started to get confusing in the post stage as we were promised an avid suite which turned out to be a bit of a dinosaur, plus it didn't have any room for all our HD footage; I had to transfer everything from 24fps to dv pal, off line it on my laptop then online it at 30fps. Very messy!!!
I had one day for edit and post. We worked 30 hours straight, just in time to make the flight back home to London.
Lesson in a foreign country: Always trust your instincts!!!
It was graded by Sergio Pasqualino JR, who did "City of God". A true master!

    No, I edited it on my laptop on FCP and it was then graded in a 4k suite.
    Like to see your vid.

    Like the theme, superb visuals and colorgrading well intergated with the soundscore and what a voice-over (is that you?). Just great 'pro'work. A 'like'. Hope you find the time to set up the HD version.

    Hi Adam - Very nice work! What's the connection between martial arts & brazil? Thanks, Joe V

    Hi Joe
    Thanks. The reason we filmed it in Brazil was because we are co-producing the program with a Brazilian production company. Sao Paolo also has a huge japanese and chinese community as well as temples and interesting locations sparing us costly air tickets to Japan and China

    Hello Adam,

    I really like this video along with the editing and music. I keep coming back to it. Could you tell me what the name of the drum music is from 1:00 to 1:45?

    Christopher.

    Hi Christopher

    Thanks for your comment. Re the music, I have no idea!! Sorry!! I did this a couple of years ago and I haven't a clue which cd it was. It was a music library track. If i manage to find the project, I will open it up and see if I reported it on there.

    Cheers
