Thank you mate, much appreciated.
I really loved the light progression Roger, it showed the underfilmed hours before the rush and reminds me that not every hour in the 24 is wall to wall hustle. Thanks for that.

Glad that you enjoyed the light progression, it was an integral part of the overall story. Time tended to stand still while I was there so early in the morning… it is the one part of the day where the swimmers are truly free of unnecessary distractions.
Phenomenal. You are such a creative soul and your passion really shines through in this piece.

I felt cold just watching those people do laps. But loved the footage and the film colour grading.

Cheers mate!
You are certainly developing a "Look". This has retro 70's vibes all over it, but has no specific timeframe. Could be today or 50 years ago. Love it. Best shot was the last one though. You are awesome my man. I hope you are loving the XH-2.

On 2nd watch I really focused on your use of leading lines. Masterful. Great angles. You made my eye follow through the scene.

@rogerbrooksfilms, you are very welcome. I hate getting there but the swim once I find my rythm it is very much a form of moving meditation.

Thanks mate, and no I did not… would have been too uncomfortable in my multiple layers and beanie! 😉🤙
