Alright, let’s talk about this “prince tyson fury ii” thing. It was a grind, lemme tell ya.
First off, the setup. I started by gathering all the footage I could find. Scraped it from everywhere – YouTube, fight replays, even some dodgy streaming sites. You gotta have your raw materials, right?
Then, dumped all that footage into my editing software. I’m rocking Adobe Premiere Pro, the full monty. It’s clunky sometimes, but it gets the job done.
Next, the real fun began: going through every single round, every punch, every little movement. It was mind-numbing, I ain’t gonna lie. I was chugging coffee like it was going out of style.
Started chopping things up. Snip, snip, snip. Took out all the boring bits, the filler, the between-rounds fluff. Just wanted the raw action, the key moments.
After that, I focused on finding the narrative. What story did I want to tell with this edit? Was it Fury’s dominance? Wilder’s power? The back-and-forth drama? I decided to go with the drama, the evolution of the fight.
Started piecing together the best punches, the dodges, the reactions. Threw in some slow-motion for emphasis, especially on those big hits. Gotta make ’em feel it, you know?
Music was crucial. Spent hours searching for the right tracks – something that built tension, then exploded with energy. Ended up using a mix of hip-hop and orchestral stuff. Sounded pretty epic, if I do say so myself.
Syncing the music to the action was a pain in the butt. Tweaking the cuts, adjusting the timing, making sure everything lined up perfectly. It’s all about the rhythm, man. Gotta get that groove.
Once the main edit was done, I moved on to the color grading. Boosted the colors, added some contrast, gave it that cinematic feel. Makes a big difference, trust me.
Then came the sound design. Added some punch sounds, crowd noise, little effects to make it all pop. You gotta feel the impact, not just see it.
After what felt like a lifetime, I finally had a finished product. Watched it back a million times, tweaking little things here and there. Never quite satisfied, but you gotta call it quits eventually.
Rendered the whole thing out in high quality, uploaded it to YouTube, and crossed my fingers. Hopefully, some folks dig it.

Was it worth it?
Honestly, I don’t know. It was a lot of work, but I learned a ton. And hey, if even one person enjoys it, then I guess it was. Now, onto the next project!
