Its a promo bit, not a Hollywood big budget feature or even a Film student's project. It'd be nice if there was a wad of cash for Make up Choreography and Stunt men, but for what WOLF has to work with its pretty good. He found a nice set of legs in some OK heels to wrap around him, someones kitchen to get tossed around in, which is why he had to rush the rest of the production(oYo).
Next time I'd recommend 4 dynamic entry guys,( I know you don't come from this Airsoft Tactical stuff) and more time on the blocking and angles. An "Over the Shoulder" shot of the layout/field map on a table while you plan and plot your course and get a good idea of the place from above. Extract the VIP kill bad guys and roll in TJ Hooker style and Bang Tangos on the way, drop them like a 80's action hero.
Cut down minutes static trigger pulling as the target audience for this promo is largely ADHD, and take WonderWoman style Cameo's of the guys in the cool gear so the kids can see what the stars are wearing. That ragtag of " badguys in winter camo" kind dropped the bottom out of the production values.
I know good help is hard to find and free help is free, that's what you have, but as long as your friends are calling you a dick, a**hole and everything else under the google you might as well push and get it your way. It is your ass that takes the beating on the internet if it's not epic. Not the third guy in scene 4.
While I was at WolfDen on YouTube, I went back and saw a couple people I know that posted in this thread. I saw a dude blathering about some stuff in a one room shot, really could of used some hooters in that frame dude.
Dogtags, Nice touch.
Cheers
