Street Fighter: Beginnings End - Thousand Pounds

My team and I just finished our first game to live action short, based off of the popular Capcom franchise: Street Fighter. Its always pained us not to see the movies focus on the two most iconic characters from the series so we thought wed pay tribute to the epic fighters that Capcom have created and make a small short film demonstrating some of their talents; all the while showing a take on Ken and Ryu at their dojo before Ryu enters the World Warrior Tournament for the first time (Street Fighter 1 Territory).

The short consisted of a $400 (out of pocket) budget, was shot on the Canon EOS 7D, edited in Final Cut Pro and effects work done in Adobe After Effects. We hope you enjoy what we have put together! My dream is to make feature films that focus on video games/comics/anime and adapt them into a live action format. Im hoping this is a step in the right direction.

**On a side note: We still can't believe the odds of another team releasing a Street Fighter Fan Film in the same week (let alone 24 hours!). But we can't wait to check out their film and we wish them the best of luck! We're fans first and foremost! If you haven't already, you should check out what these fans are doing as well, awesome stuff - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpvOfCLe3A0

what separates thousand pounds and other action film creators including big time movie studios is that they mastered the art of camera angles, close ups, and choreography.

They should REALLY make a DBZ live-action, it would be sooooo good. Much better than the actual movie.XD

HEY ITS LEE!!!

@Blackbirdja6 I thought that they could have found somebody better for Ryu...

He is the main character of Street Fighter and so they should have searched for some really handsome and somebody with a very powerful personality for Ryu and not some random Japanese guy...

@MrBoSSmanBiGGs he has lost twice since they stopped training with their master

Very good fight coreography but a suggestion into making these videos more realistic is to show the fighters acctually sweating/perspiring..that way it would look as though they are fighting at their best :) ~Awsome fights, look forward to more :)
