The Warehouse (Indy Fan Film with Whip Action!)

Post by hollywood1340 »

Shot with only 2 people, no tripod, no real gun, a very floppy hat and a 10' Louie Foxx KOTCS. Enjoy! (And yes, I know I misspelled John's name :D)

I had a laugh :clap: I like his smooth roll out action when it goes to throw the whip out. Did he actually crack it or just imitate the crack?

In that case, excellent! How long has he been at it? Very smooth action like I said. How did the actual wrap go around the gun? Was it a rather loose wrap or fairly secure?

There is a video on YT of his first day of serious cracking.

I've really been working with him on starting with a good alignment (behind and beside you), the railroad tracks, and using the body do the work. The wrap was pretty good! I was cuing the throw off of his pull, and if he didn't get a good wrap it wouldn't look right. He's a great student!
