Here's our first Doc/film we've spent the last couple months working on for NBA Star Chris Bosh:
It's just the trailer, but we would love to know what QBN'ers think of it.
Cheers in advance!

Good work.
The bit where he talks to camera is in my opinion a bad edit, I think you should put a flash in or a graphic to cover up that edit, it's not neat and it is too messy to be in keeping with the style of the program. Also is the documentary about his tattoo or his basketball?.
Other than that it is a good little piece well done, keep up the good work.

Thanks, Chossy. I'll forward that on to the editor. I guess it's a mesh of Chris growing as a person/professional and dedicating his life to the sport he loves. The tattoo is a symbol of that growth, I suppose. (sounds cheesy and cliche, but we did our best to give the idea legitimacy.)

No it's fine, is the tattoo just a little bit of the story and the rest is about his journey?, because in the trailer the tattoo is given some prominance. Which is a little misleading. As presumably his journey is about struggle commitment goals change etc. which you do have, the stuff at the window about him growing and his body changing and becoming a good leader is really strong stuff. It is a good piece. Good flow, enticing nicely shot creative and has a nice personal beginning especially when he is lying in bed at the beginning as he is looking to his right as we look down on him, it's great as you can imagine being in that situation having trepidations about the day and being restless.

Great feedback! I see what you're getting at. I think it's the way the trailer is cut, it's about 50/50 tattoo and journey. It's a huge detailed backpiece that incorporates a few elements of his drive and determination. I have the utmost respect for him, his work ethic is 2nd to none and is very humble at the same time.
When I'm able to and if you'd like to watch the entire Documentary, I'll email you. It's about a half hour long.

Hey man I would love to, I'll watch it this evening. Or in two and a half hours. I will make some honest crit where appropriate, but if you have finished and you are happy then it's all smiles baby.
