First I'll start by saying your welcome, but I owe you thanks as well. Yes I help, but all I do is talk, you're the one who constantly takes the criticism and improves upon mistakes. It makes you a better mixer, and a better person.
The mix itself is simply astonishing. You're so new to mixing, but you've already made a big name for yourself, esp with your H4L mix. Hell you even made a splash for your very first mix, just for different reasons heh.
I just love the flow of this mix. When you first told me about it, I felt meh, because I thought you would have to had watched the film to truly understand it. But you really convey the story and emotions throughout its entirety. Your clip selection was so great, matching their actions and shots so well. It really feels like Kobe is trying to be Mike. The color correction was nicely subtle, really calm, it fits the pace of the mix. You're last mix had no climax, but have an effective one. And it really fits the climax of the film too, because its subtle, comes and ends quickly. Both of them hit buzzer beaters, and fade to black. The transformation is complete.
Now the audio work is really well done. You're able to extend trailers so seamlessly. You chose the perfect commentary in the beginning to set up the tone and story. And then you used the trailer audio to build upon it. And that's what makes your movie mixes different from normal trailer mixes. The trailers take a back burner to your mix. You really transition well from shot to shot, using the audio to weave the story.
The only bad things? You forgot to deinterlace a couple clips and the aspect ratio wasn't constant. And I thought you were better than that :wink:
But seriously, you're a great member here. You did not disappoint with this mix. I had high expectations for you too. It's unfair to call this another Kobe/Jordan mix, because it's not. It's up there with Gotrare's Moment of Truth. Very well done.
Oh, and the last shot. Very nicely chosen. Taking it back to the old basketball court, where both began and spent hours perfecting their craft. It's the icing on the cake.
Now only one last question. "Do you wanna be like me? Or do you wanna be me?" jk :wink:
Great work man.
