Iron Wire/5-Animals

[SifuYui]

This is part of the first informational series we recorded at New York Hung Ga. It's a small section of Iron Wire, but the goal was to show how it can be trained differently for a specific purpose. Again, I realized I couldn't teach the training on YouTube, so I just highighted some points through the graphics. I added 5-Animals at the end to release the energy.

Very nice video. I can't get enough of the Tang Fong flavor, obviously not to downplay others, I am just biased...since I am in the lineage...

Hello SifuYui,

Very nice demonstration, like CJ888 said (eslewhere), the flavor is very recognizable

The opening 3D animation, was that made for you? Or did you got the 3D graphics somewhere and added the titles afterwards? Just asking as this was my old job, hehe. The 3D animation looks very nicely done.

If I could give any tip it might be that the graphics explaining the points can be on a bit longer, i had to rewind and pause for a few times to be able to read them.

Thanks Asmo, CJ888.

All the graphics were done by my student Kelly Bray, he's a graphics designer, he really made it look professional. In fact all the people behind the scenes worked to make it professional.

Regarding the graphics explaining what I'm doing, originally we were going to add another audio track with voice-over narrations, but that was too time consuming to do, so we decided to do the graphics instead. Yeah, I know they're going by too fast, but because the moves go from one to the next, we didn't want to leave them on too long. We figured people would have to pause and read it, but that's the beauty of having that option on YouTube

Thanks for your supportive comments.

Yui

Maybe for any future projects: you could always do the titles scrolling from right to left, then if needed the text for the following move can follow right away. That way you can leave them on screen much longer.

Did my share of video editing in my company too! But 3D made the lion share of the business...
