Great Go Pro Usage

NOTE: Fake graphic violence and some F' bombs in the music track but really well done action sequence.

Think Bond, Bourne.

If only guns were "controlled" this sort of thing would never happen.

That was pretty impressive. Particularly for an amateur effort.

First sentence in my post was a warning, graphic violence.

You could have stopped there.

Regardless of the content the execution, pardon the pun, was first class.

Don't equate me to that animal because you lack the ability to separate the technical merits from the subject matter.

I'm officially old. it was well done but I'm more turned off by the violence than impressed with the execution.

LOL, Shaun.

I don't recommend Jango Unchained then.

The entire thing is only a 3-4 edits until the last few teleportation scenes.

Forgoing the subject matter the planning and choreography to pull that off is very impressive.

We do sequences like that in video game cutscenes where we control every frame and it's a difficult task. Pulling it off with live actors is a whole other level.

When I look at something like that I'm looking at it from a different perspective.

Maybe similar to you seeing a piece of clothing in an atrocious color but being able to see past that and admire the quality of the cloth and construction of the garment.

Yeah - not for me either. I did not make it past the hallway ... l do wonder if this kind of stuff is healthy to watch, especially for our next generation ...

I'd rather watch the wing suit guys or Ken Block - much better use of a go-pro IMHO.

Well, I watched it for the boobies in the thumbnail image.

Needed way more GoPro boobies. Way less violence. Or no violence. Just the boobies would have been nice.

I liked the out of the box thinking to use the gopro for this. Someone may or may not like the subject matter, but at least is wasn't the same tired old shots we see time and time from this little camera.
I also agree with Mike, we need way more gopro boobies, and go pro tushies, and being a leg man, well you can add gopro legs to the mix.
Gopro harem, wait didn't they do a lighter shade of pale?
