I actually planned at one point taking the KKK thing further, but didn't since 1. The segment was stupid anyway and 2. I'd think someone would get offendedYeah my poses leave a bit to be desired.
Balls vs Brodie wasn't supposed to be amazing, just an opener. I don't even think it'd be possible to have a good Balls Mahoney match within more then 60 pics, lol.
There's not a whole lot of racist stereotyping. There was the KKK joke, and the gimmick of Da Hood as a whole, but I'm not even going as far with this as I could.
The commentary burial of Balls was, I guess out of place, but I had to find a way to make a Balls match entertaining. Dunno what you're talking about besides that.
My lighting is perfectly fine in most areas. The flash kind of makes people with white shirts a little too bright, but I've been finding ways to prevent it.
I have used string in the past, but that was when I wasn't using the camera I'm using now. I don't have a tripod, and haven't made a good makeshift one yet (made one that only functioned well for one move, rvd jumping off an entrance stage). There's never going to be a 'hard camera' in BDW as I'm quite found of the crooked action shots, like ECW did sometimes in recaps...though those are only few and far between in BDW so I'd like a tripod. Usually BDW episodes have the "Pulp Fiction" promos, this one didn't. It also doesn't help that this show was mostly filler, besides Punk vs Stevie and the New Jack brawl.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
If you have difficulty getting a good '60pic' match out of Mahoney, extend the match! There's a ton of wasted shots inbetween moves which is a personal irk of mine anyway, the amount of pics you take should only be a guide. Personally, I've literally never paid attention to the length of my matches until I've uploaded them. That way if it's long it's long, if it's short it's short, but it still flows regardless.
Some inspiration for commentating Mahoney can be taken from listening to vintage Joey Styles. His references to "Nutley new Jersey" and telling tales of Balls KOing his high school wrestling referee, brawling in bars and his hidden technical wrestling ability always made for entertaining commentary, and out Balls over big time. It's nothing major, just flaming his 'lack of talent' came across very un-Joey Styles-like. You don't sound much of a fan of Balls, which is a shame since you're ECW themed, so I suggest checking out some of HardCoreTv, when Balls faced the likes of RVD, if you can get hold of any footage.
Also if you watch some original ECW, they did use some angled shots, but they mainly used a hard camera throughout matches. It's just a suggestion really, you'd completely capture that original "Philadelphia ECW arena" feel if you set up a hard camera parallel to the ring and limited the camera angles you use.
I dislike Balls. That's why I buried him on commentary and in the ring. He's not wrestling in BDW again for at least another 4 shows.
I've watched quite a large amount of Hardcore TV, and Balls has never appealed to me. Heck, I've been more entertained by Axl Rotten.
Oh and the 1 final thing, I'm not entirely trying to be "ECW themed". Sure, there's plenty of roster similarities, but I'm not going for anything more then a feint ECW vibe. When I finally get myself a tripod, there will be a hard camera.
