The video absolutely floored me at ACen. I didn't get to see it at the first showing since me and Jon missed the first half, but at the next showing I was there with several others who had also missed it, and I remember turning to Todd and just being "HAHA HOLY SHIT THAT WAS FUCKING
AWESOME" And I think that's still the best way to describe it.
Not to get overly sentimental or analytical, but the video truly does work on multiple levels. On one level, it works as simply a great tribute video to both of these epic series. On another level, it's a great story video showing how one character influences and motivates another. But on one more level, and the one that hits me the hardest, is how it motivates the viewer. I can say that there are moments in the video that give me goosebumps and really make me want to go out and make something of myself. Maybe not take up boxing or what-have-you, but it's obviously a story of somebody who had a dream and he worked diligently and hard for it, and as funny or awkward as it may sound, your video brought that feeling to life in a profound way.
So yeah. I think this is by far your best video and probably the best video I've seen this year period. Bravo sir.
Thanks Brad, I seem to have unintentionally made a story based video when I tried not to. Now I'm looking at it with a different perspective. Story based videos are my favorite type of video to both make and watch so maybe I did it all unconsciously.

Good thing I joined "Retired Dude Studios".
