ProElite: Now We Are Free

Made for the love of MMA.
_______________________________
Filmed and Edited by: Cynthia Vance
Camera Used: Canon T2i
Song Used: "Sense of Touch" by Mark Isham

Director's Note:
Please excuse the sometime rather shaky/jittery camera movements. I was using an el cheapo monopod that day. It was absolutely incredible filming the Mixed Martial Arts event ProElite 3: Grove vs Minowa that took place on January 21st, 2012. A huge thank you to Tjay Thompson and Evan Cohen of ProElite for allowing me to film almost literally wherever I wanted. This is the result of that. Enjoy.

Could have some fights scenes aswell so it's perfect. But still it's awsome

[cynthiavance]

@ClicheMMA Yeah... I would've loved to have that in the vid but I wasn't allowed to film any fights due to copyright conflict with HDnet :(

[MannyThr33]

wow u are amazing i love ur work look 4ward 2 seeing more videos by u :)

[cynthiavance]

@MannyThr33 Thank you! I appreciate it.

This was a very good video. What makes your videos even better is that you are actually filming your own footage. Wouldn't it be awesome if they let your do this at a UFC event? haha.

[cynthiavance]

@xDIIIxdurty530 Yeah. I would pretty much die. But getting to film at any event would honestly complete my life. I love it. Filming all of this was one of the most incredible experiences and certainly different from an audience point of view in the stands.

Well I was just about to head to bed, but then I decided to check YouTube. Good thing I did, great work as usual. Really liked how you were able to capture the fighters backstage right before they went out to fight. Couldn't imagine the feelings of anticipation, nervousness and also just peace of mind of finally reaching that moment they've been preparing months for.

How'd Steven make out in his fight by the way?

Very good video Cynthia.

[Destroy1ify]

[Destroy1ify]
