    When the subtitles began to fade away as the main character was no longer listening to the henchmen because he was so focused on moving forward blew my mind. That's high level storytelling. Awesome stuff 👏👏👏👏👏

I've just started doing this for UA LA because this is EXACTLY what I want to do. Well not exactly, I have my own style I'm aiming for.

    That's amazing 👏 First of all, technically, the choreo was phenomenal. Your camera angles were perfect and I could "feel" the impact of each hit. Fast, clean, and could see every strike.
    Secondly, outstanding concept with the "second chance at the cost of aging". Powerful, but with a huge dowside. I've personally never seen this idea before. Love it. Please make more!
