IRONMAN 70.3 Sharm El-Sheikh · Day 1 · review · private

Day 1 recaps v2: RAW and Garmin

A full redo, cut to your two references (Lucas Lee and the 4vnfilms reel) plus Parker: ~1-second shots, a warm flash or a whip on nearly every cut, real slow motion, a new grade, new hype tracks and sound design on everything. The After Effects pieces are dropping in one by one from the Mac mini. Until each lands, its slot plays the plain footage.
