Ok. A little history lesson:
This footage is about a month old. It seriously took me about 3 solid weeks to make this look the way I wanted it too.

At first I approached this video with my usual smooth, flowing idea, and I rendered it> But there was something wrong, something missing from it. I decided to take another angle and try a pure black and white version of the video with a kind of classy pokertable look.

I liked how the first couple clips went, so I rolled with it. Now, after 3 weeks of toying with time, color, velocity, and space, that thing that was missing is gone.

Is the video perfect? No. Is there any way that I could impove it? Probably. But I feel pretty confident in saying that, up to this point, this is the best piece of art that I have ever created.

Its not about cards, or camerawork, or color. It’s about aesthetics.

Enjoy.
