Shot on a Sony V1, edited and graded in Final Cut.

Still technically a rough cut, so looking for thoughts/refinements?

The CU of the monk looking L>R

he does something with his eyes that I don't like, maybe fiddle with the speed or choos a slightly different shot?

Crystal shot

at the end , you can see a passer by. In the second look, you realise that it's in reverse

The first shot of a monk (at 8 seconds) jars a bit as it looks like a still whereas the shots before and after aren't (it looks a bit random and as though there is no special reason for it).

The two points Dave mentions are valid but the eye movement didn't bother me and I'll confess that I missed the reversal.

Otherwise fine - some nice, clear footage.

Hi Dave, good spot re passer by, will adjust. Only have one shot of monk like that, so will leave, but get your point.

Gyr, yep see what you mean, ironically it wasn't a still, but he just wasn't moving (if you look very carefully you can see a piece of fluff floating past his elbow).
However will dig around to see if there's an alternative.

Many thanks for your feedback/observations guys.

I loved it. I have to say, those other chaps are really on the ball. I still can not find the reversed clip and I have watched it 3 times. Still loving it!
