My ears might be playing tricks on me, but was cool to hear at 3:04-3:16 having the interview audio raised on one side, and the clip audio raised on the other to still hear the character hitting the pads. You still hear each piece on both sides, but it really made the imagery stand out even further. Don’t know how I caught that, but it’s a cool editing technique Mark!
Great work as always Mark. You may have talked about this in a prior video, but I’m curious about the process of getting a brand/sponsor behind a short documentary. I have a short doc in pre production and am a little unsure the best way to seek out sponsors for the film
This is amazing. I mean it’s Mark Bone, so of course. But even the marketing aspect. I like how you slowly brought the product placement in. Just barely showing the logo, then drop it in there, so good. I see you. And amazing cinematography as well. So good 🙌
Hey Mark. I am one of the 10% who watched to end of each video (except those about Apple products, I am a PC user😅) I watched all your videos ever since i found your channel a few months when looking at how to make documentaries, I want to appreciate your work you put out out there. I joined the AOD community few weeks ago and I hope to learn as much as I can. Thanks and regards from the Land of the Messiah Regards Aviel
The few behind-the-scenes moments highlighted how intricate this was shot-small, intimate crew or solo shots. It looks nice. It seems like you may have also done some audio recording after your shots to make the edit smooth, emphasizing and enhancing the highlighted themes. Was that the approach?
You're right salute to you the professional director ChatGPT 3.5 User How movie and flim are compress reduce there files size because movie are too uncompressed even without getting loss quality? ChatGPT Movies and films use various compression techniques to reduce file sizes without significant loss of quality. One common method is using advanced video codecs, like H.264 or H.265, which efficiently encode and compress video data. Additionally, audio can be compressed using codecs such as AAC or Dolby Digital. These codecs employ algorithms to eliminate redundancies in the data while retaining essential information, helping reduce file sizes without sacrificing visual and auditory quality. Compression ratios can be adjusted to find a balance between file size and quality, and modern compression methods aim to maintain high levels of perceptual quality while minimizing data size.
Hey Marc, I really love the idea of branded documentaries and would like to get more into this field. However, what is the worth for a brand having such a documentary instad of a commercial? where do the spread those videos? on their website? youtube? Would appreciate whn you make a video telling us more about branded docs. cheers from Austria
This is awesome, I love your work, it's a masterclass! I love your kill or be killed film too. One observation in this film though, and it is observation more than a critic... the amount of noise/grain in the film got my attention in a slightly distracting way in some scenes. Whether it's a negative or not I'm not sure, it's just observation. Class work
I agree with you. It looks like digital with grain on top. Which it is. There is just a bit too much grain as to why it's very noticeable. Most people aside from other filmmakers will notice though. Either way a cool project for sure!
@@BryceDocherty ye mate, stylistic expression if anything. I'd have gone a slight bit cleaner thats all with the grain. The cinematography and film itself is awesome
Love this! I definitely think you could have switched up some of those clips in the first minute though. The fire building was nice, cause you matched the simple thing he was doing with a calm and gentle VO, but when you added the old fighting clips, there was no power to them besides the act itself, since the VO was calming . Maybe pausing the VO more or cut some out, and get a strong shot of him on the bag, and make him throw one big punch, and on that sound of the bag hit, THEN is where you cut into the old fighting clips, then go back to calm for a few seconds, then use that still clip of him sitting and looking out, breathing, cause in his eyes, looked like he was reminiscing, and I wanted to see a cool clip after that, and I never got it. then I would have added another old fighting clip after his breath looking out into the distance. But just that is what I think. Great film Mark!! 🔥🎥 Edit: also, since you can’t see him very well in the beginning, and then it cuts to the fighting clips, I wasn’t actually sure if he was the one winning or losing in those old fighting clips. So maybe just getting a still shot of his face, and then a fade in to a similar face shot, but have it be an old clip, so that you’re showing it’s the same person, and then go into more fighting clips
I love the grain for sure but it looks like it was not the best-quality grain emulation tool which made it look more like noise after UA-cam compression :(

I like that as well. He shared how he did that in a recent video. Very cool idea.
Love the music swell at 3:20. Had my heart racing. Great campaign!
Some of the strongest sound design and score of any of your projects in my opinion. Really kept it immersive for me
That’s a huge compliment. Thank you Ross! Glad you noticed
Outstanding!
Awesome as always! Terrific storytelling and visuals.
Just starting my independent documentary Filmmaking journey. I learn so much from this channel. Thank you 😊
Yooo this was top notch!!

10/10 branded content piece!
Thanks brother
Great Job, I love the sound design, and the cinematography is on point.
Those shots by the fire and in the gym are pure perfection 👌
Great branded doc! Flowed really nicely!
Oh hi Mark, could you leave a link to the haze machine that you use?

Nice work, Mark! Everything is on point! Lovely film grade!
Let me know any Q&A you have for this film. I'm doing a breakdown in my next video!
Awesome Mark, thank you.
The proof that with a 24-70 sigma and Helios you can make a material of high beauty
So nice 👍👍 Thanks for the video
I freaking love your cinematography so much dude!!!!!
Thanks brother ! Appreciate this

👏👏👏
I really hope one day some day, I will be able to shoot documentary with good gears too and tell the story well
How much scripting do you do vs. totally organic interviews/figuring out the story after?
Looks better than the Creator.
chapeau
Great film! Maybe I'm wrong but I think I noticed quite a few warp stabiliser artefacts? But maybe my eyes deceive me. Nice work either way
That was the internal fx3 stabilization unfortunately
How did you develop the narration, was this written and recorded or was this recorded in a live interview? Thanks !
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I watched this from my recommendations thinking "this f*** guy is copying Mark Bone" then I realised...It's a Mark Bone Doco 🤣
Sorry about the comment, everything is so perfect about this, but, why so much noise in the image?
UA-cam compression
I added grain and it didn’t like it!
Why so dark?
perhaps brighten your screen?
@@markbone It doesn't help, seems I"m not connecting to this low key style.
Even chatgpt & Google know you
amazing
