End Of The Court - Ball Boyz II Men Page 2

Ha- I will. Although I somehow feel like this might be the 'end of the thread' anyway !

New balls please. :)

Got a little plug in the metro today which was cool:

Nice one.
Well done.

That's great Simon.

Very professional with funny moments. I think the balls dropping line was the best.

Nicely done Simon B :)

Really enjoyed this. Good pastiche of a video promo aimed at touching the heartstrings if not the racket strings of tennis players and followers. And Lee's right about it being something the BBC could easily run in a slot within their Wimbledon coverage.

Another way to have done it would have been a mockumentary about 'What happens when the balls drop' A La Chris Morris, but it would have been aimed at a different audience and maybe would have been a lot more difficult to get aired, so I think the choice of format and execution was spot-on. Hope you get someone to show it on terrestrial TV guys.

Hi Simon,

Liked this too - funny AND it looked "really good". For what it's worth I think that footage from inside the court gives the whole video a professional touch...did you actually try and get into the ball boys bit (when the woman stops you)?

Brilliant, looks excellent, really well acted. THanks for the link.

Thanks all for the comments. Didn't quite get make the BBC due to copyright and logo issues (or at least that's what they told me).

Yup. Spent the whole day hanging out with ball boys feeling like some horrible perve. Errr
