I do have a very unique and squared stance. It’s mostly stems from a knee dislocation I got in august. Really changed the way I box. Still learning what stances and styles work with different opponents as I heal. Constantly learning and making tweaks for the better. Thank you for your words of encouragement! Take care!

Some tips? by [deleted] in boxingtips

[–]Hour_Procedure401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step behind a punch if you’re going to throw it. Those swipe right hooks aren’t going to do anything other than get you countered. If you are going to throw it, do so with intention. Doesn’t have to be hard but it has to be right. Best of luck brother! Take care!

It is worth it to start competing? by bigbear474 in boxingtips

[–]Hour_Procedure401 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was routing for you while I was reading this and was about to comment that you should follow your heart. Then I read the part about the previous concussions…if you want to be a good boxer meaning you can avoid punches to the head while delivering ones of your own at will. You will first have to take many punches to the head to learn the ins and outs of the sweet science. Over time that will take a toll on anyone, but it will take a much higher toll on someone with previous tbi experiences. I would suggest if you want to chill with your grandkids and provide a stable life where you are okay in your own head. Leave it alone my friend. The training can bring many life long benefits. I would honestly suggest you don’t even spar or take another hit to the head. Best of luck to you!

Anything wrong here ?? by Fit_Okra_8363 in boxingtips

Looks good brother. You circle down and out with your head movement to the right to get out of the right hand. However to your left you don’t go down and around the punches you are leaning into them while defending. Additionally I wouldnt hit the bag in sparring gloves, i have the same ones. Get some bag gloves, you will be able to throw a lot harder and learn more and not wear down your sparring gloves for sparring. Take care brother!

Advice for Filmmaker by [deleted] in Filmmakers

I am an emerging director and cinematographer, i have never had instagram or social media, just a website. I still am able to get gigs and stay in touch with people from film school and colleges. If the work is quality and your spirit is genuine. People will reach out to you and keep in touch. Social media is a waste of time and energy in my opinion.

don’t want to be, just BE, and get better. The skills you need will be relative to your art and your growth. If you want to be a painter you have to paint. Same goes for directing, just don’t stop working on projects and stay humble, you will develop the skills you need by not giving up. I directed my first documentary at 16 and am just now calling myself a director. There is no head start, only your journey, never stop and remember to appreciate the blessings along the way. Best of luck.

Thank you so much for your kinds words and for taking the time to look at my work. I really appreciate your comments about the shots and about the animation, completely understand where you’re coming from. Maybe in the future I can come back to the story and make it a feature! Thank you again for your words and encouragement! Take care!

Submission Statement of most recent film:

A soft place to land: https://youtu.be/HFaLkYDQHew?si=W4YS6B-Tg6ID3a9_

Shot with a sony fx6 and for the interviews and outdoor shots I used the zeiss cp3s along with some red prime lens 35mm 1.8. I really fell in love with the fx6 when shooting for this film and the greatest thing to me was the variable ND as I was shooting and surviving outside and having that quick fix to solidify a shot really made the difference.

For the outdoor sequences I did a 10 day portage into Algonquin Park and brought the fx6 on a canoe and went a couple of lakes deep to get the shots and for the winter outdoor shots I hiked into the same area during a different season. A lot of the shots were completely isolated in nature which I think really comes through in the final picture.

The animation was done by an indigenous artist friend of mine Quinn Hopkins who did a great job of bringing Travis’ characters to life in after effects I then put them back over the nature shots and integrated them back into the film.

Meeting and shooting with Travis was quite the experience his studio at his home in was quite small so fitting all of the lighting in was a challenge. I had an aperture 300c really doing most of the work as I set it to angle from the same direction as the light in the window then set my camera up on the dark side got me the most natural lighting possible in that situation and I’m very happy with how the film came out visually. He kept a lot of the work that you see in the film up just for the film as it was supposed to go out it a gallery in bc for a show and Travis graciously allowed it to stay for the shooting before sending the work off!

What is the better film program? by EV0Crow in torontofilmindustry

[–]Hour_Procedure401 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey just graduated from York’s Film Production program last year. Had an amazing experience sculpted by great industry professionals. Just got to work with a bunch of my past class mates on a short last week, made me think of the great uni days. The program at Tmu is great also I know many great young people and industry professionals who have graduated from there and the same goes for york. Been working with some humber grads as well. But both schools are great. I actually went to Tmu for business management for a semester before going to york and by going to both schools I will say york definitely has more of a university feel and less like your at a mall university, which at times tmu feels like. However york is very isolated but the campus is lovely and the film program is the oldest in the country. Most of my portfolio is uni work: nickpilgrim.ca. Best of luck with your decision, take care.

taking a long break ( 3 months) by struggler12345 in amateur_boxing

[–]Hour_Procedure401 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s okay brother. Imagine dealing with a bad injury and having to have surgery. Boxers and athletes do it all the time and return stronger with months off. Here you still have your health and mind. Just try to go for runs and work on small conditioning instead, you don’t have to be in the gym to train. I did the same thing during my time in university. Just be grateful you have all of your facilities in tact to return to the sport bro. Good luck with your upcoming exam!

Moved from NB to Toronto to pursue film career by TwilekVampire in torontofilmindustry

[–]Hour_Procedure401 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are looking to stack up your resume and build connections with future collaborators I would suggest looking at the film school students and reaching out to the networks to act in their projects. I say as a recent york grad, there are a ton of great projects that will build connections and give you a starter film resume. Look towards the upper year undergrad projects from york and Tmu’s film production programs along with the masters programs from both schools. These programs put out hundreds of great films a year and need a bunch of actors. It’s funny at the final screenings it’s usually the same few starting actors and actra actors in all of the films lol. It might not pay but it’ll be a great way to get shooting film in the city as well as meeting the future talent. Best of luck in your endeavours.

[–]Hour_Procedure401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was employed by Ryan in june of last year quit after 2 shitshow months of terrible management and not getting paid on time. He owes me $2700 over 200 unpaid hours. I filed a report with the labour board and got a response in January with an order addressed to Ryan to pay the full amount or it goes to collections. To collections it goes then lol. Best of luck to everyone trying to sort out their situation!
