Spielberg eat your heart out!

In our quest for thinking of ideas on how to shoot a superheroes video we first attempted some parkour, of course non of us were very good at anything even remotely parkour but Dan did make it appear very funny, so armed with our cameras we sent Dan on a mission and captured every painful moment!
After realising that ‘failed parkour man’ made a very bad superhero, we went looking around for props to give us inspiration, we found a pirate sword and flag, a Dracula cape, an inflatable traffic cone and some fake blood, it didn’t exactly give us any ideas but we donned the props and proceeded to do some superhero things, namely bashing each other with said props and a stick we added to the list.

I still don’t know what story we have, but random superheroes and supervillians appear and duke it out, in the end old pirate woman Liz appears to have won, only for Jess to steal a last blow and win the brawl, thereby becoming the champion of superheroes the world over!

We decided to split the video into the separate fight scenes, complete with the most retarded action music we could muster, and we still made it better than the Street Fighter movie! We used a number of camera angle styles, including circling the fighters and having the fighters circle round an elevated camera (tables make great stands). For good measure we even included failed parkour man at the end of the video, which if nothing else was amusing :)
