First Skate

Rooster Post Production

BronzeCraft - Editing

Sometimes, a script sets the action, but it’s the editing that actually tells the story. Every shot in “First Skate” is timed to either set the audience’s expectations or break them. A man on a frozen pond trying out a hockey sledge gets frustrated with his lack of progress. Showing him in his workshop refining the sledge shows determination. His next successful skate is victorious. Then the slower paced shot of boots walking back to the lake reveal what this spot is really about. The dedicated love that a father has for his child.
