Knocking out the World Snooker Champion of 2012
For those who have been following my snooker youtube channel, Niky Adryana, know that I make preview videos for main snooker tournaments. But because the Betfred World Snooker Championship 2012 is the biggest and most prestigious one on the circuit I felt I had to do something special for this particular video.
So, I came up with the idea of making a snooker "action" movie. With the concept of having an opponent who tries to steal the balls away from me.
For this idea I obviously had to find an opponent and some snooker balls to play with. A quick search on internet thought me there was a nice snooker club in Scheveningen along the beach called 't Zeekantje. I sent them an email with the question if they would be kind enough to provide me with a set of snooker balls and two cues. Which they kindly agreed upon!
In my search for an opponent I came across the website of Team Hyperspeed. They are specialised in free running and parkour. Again an email was sent and with positive feedback in reply. I made an appointment to have a training with Reggy, the founder of Team Hyperspeed. I was completely bruised the day after but it was a nice afternoon!
Now that I had the storyboard, snooker equipment and my opponent we could start filming. My friend Luke did the videography and being a Sound Engineer he was kind enough to mix the music for this project as well.
A lot of time has been put into this project and I had a lot of fun doing it, hopefully Luke & Reggy as well. I hope you enjoyed the video and maybe help to promote it!
By now the final has been battled by O'Sullivan & Carter with Ronnie being the new World Snooker Champion of 2012.
Nothing left to say except: "Let's play snooker!"
