Here's a short video I put together for a new surf shop in Hawaii. It's going to premiere on a big screen at a boxing match in a stadium this Saturday. I hope it looks good... Comments please!

Just a few quick things ....

The boom at the beginning sounds a tad distorted. Don't know if this is the case or not.

Outdoor footage has got stunningly good colour, and it really contrasts with the in-shop lighting. Kinda makes the shop look not as good as the outdoors.

Do wish that some of the shots of the surfers were zoomed in a bit tighter on the action.

The song used sounds like the right thing to appeal to the hearts of those whom I presume is their target audience. Surfing is their escape to freedom, yada yada yada.

Phone number at the end needs to be a bit bigger in size and longer in duration. Not that people are going to memorise it from the ad, but .... you know.

Quite warm. Just the perfect summer weather to be on the beach!

With Australia Day (public holiday) on Tuesday, a lot of people make it effectively a 4 day weekend by taking Monday off. We Aussies love our long weekends.
