Just got a sad e-mail from Mitsuru Okabe that he will no longer be shooting DVD's. He is calling it quits. It was an honor for me to have been his last one he shot.www.cfaildo.com Mits is a very hard worker and i wish him the best of luck with his new journey. I had a blast with him in Hawaii during our shoot. I will cherish my DVD knowing he was the one who put it all together. Thanks Mits for everything!
-
nice plug. you don't care that mitz is gone.
-
What? Why?
Mits has been around, and always has the most respect out there from many. He is reknown for his special style and wearing 'hockey' pads on his knees for protection.
From Jay Cutler, to Battle to the Olympia, to many more, I have at least 15 of his DVDs.

lmao, nice way to spam the board with an ad for your website.
-
also, i think this is good. his videos weren't even good and his monopoly wont exist anymore paving way for competition and better videos.
-
hes probably retiring on a couple million made from the dvd sales
-
I can understand why. Not too many charasmatic bodybuilders around anymore. Maybe the new guard of pros coming up can keep the BFTO legacy alive.
-
I hope now that Lift Studios will take the reigns and continue where Mits left off....
Lift is very gifted and talented...it would be great if he continued Mits legacy....
-

yeah at wearing kneepads
for other obvious reasons
like blowing on a pole
or sucking a lolipop
come on guys help me out here? jabbin the jim jam?
-
I remember seeing a picture of Mits in an issue of MMI from '92!
his Ronnie dvds are legendary
-
Damn, sucks that Mits is leaving the biz. Although the quality of his footage was rather mediocre, he filled a distinct role we all appreciated. Who's going to carry on for Mits now? No more BTFO's?

This sux.
-
Mits' greatest film, hands down, was BFTO 1996.
-
Does he still realease those Battle For The Olympia videos 10 months after the actual contest?

Nope....I believe it's up to a year....now.

Mitsuro Meltdown !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
-

Tape on the shelf = money in the bank.
He can still make sales of existing titles.
-
Are you saying there will be no more super-boring 4 hour training sessions taped in a shaky condition, brought to DVD without even the slightest editing?
Mits is an amateur, the guy knows nothng about good editing, sound mixing etc.
-

Agreed - although most of the BFTO videos were good - better than most individual bodybuilder's videos.
-
did youtube kill mits' money train?

Meltdown.
-

Exactly. Painfull86 aka "Pain" was a master editor and made amazing videos using Mits' footage. Unfortunately, Mits threatened to sue him if he didn't stop making the preview videos. Stupid thing was, those preview videos probably sold more tapes for Mits than anything else :-\
-
Shit, I like his vids.
Pretty simple, minimalistic and pure.
Fare well
-
who's making the "battle for mr getbig 3" video ?
-
nice plug. you don't care that mitz is gone.
x2

Really?! :o
BFTO series ends with 2007? :(
-

Mits used to be jacked back in the day! :o
-

it's only natural that he would lie
-
I think I'm the only one who loves and appreciates Mits' work. :-X

Not suprising.

It helps w/recovery

I dont get some of you people, what kind of quality did you want him to shoot in what type of editing, I mean seriously for the few pennies they charge for a DVD you got plenty its not like this shit sells tons of copies.
He did exactly what was needed follow around some guys tape some training tape some of their personal lives ask a question here and there.

A few pennies? I always thought those DVD's were always waaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced compared to mainstream DVD's?
-

I heard that he's opening a laundry mat and maybe a "ChopSticks" to go fast food joint...we all wish him the best!
-

thats because they dont sell like mainstream dvds or have that kinda distribution.

Mits is an amateur, the guy knows nothng about good editing, sound mixing etc.
He used to do it(edit sound effect...etc), but he began to realize that the fan want DVD which are very real and no effect and mixing at all.
I personally think that the best part of his DVD is this simplicity.
No sound effect, no special editing at all.

Schmoe!!!
;)
-
who the hell buys bbing dvds for production values?
the minimal editing is ideal for TRUE FANS because how a bber acts between sets gives greater insight to who they are, like Jay's quiet stares or Darrem's easy going attitude and self deprecating humour
Mits was a visionary
-
I think the reason why he quits is simply because of those streaming service like Youtube.
His DVD sales must have been low because of it. I used to buy his DVD. But now not becuase of it.

thats why it was good seeing bbers doing normal sheit like everyday people minus the injections.

So who is gonna take over the job of "mitz" ?

I think Goodrum should step up to the plate. His expertise would bring a whole aspect to the videos.

My Ronnie 'Unbelievable' DVD was cool... it had japanese captions.
-
MD TV and all of those In the Trenches clips probably don't help.

I think "In the trenches" + "Olympia the series" (in addition to youtube) is what killed Mits in the end, as they were technically waaaaaaaaaay better and more entertaining and FREE. Who the hell should BUY boring shit videos when you get better ones for FREE.
P.I.P. lil asian man with kneepads :'(
-
damn, my Saturday nights will be different from now on.
No more protein shake mixer parties while me and my bodybuilder buddies watch a Mits tape.

If he doesnt add that , he dies!!
WOOOSSSSHHHHHHHHHH !!!

Or when someone puts it up for free on a torrent and EVERYONE gets it for free.

Maybe you could tell him a couple of "tips". ::)
-
Man that sucks . Yeah they were kinda high priced but you could find them on ebay cheaper. I got a good ten videos from him ran me about 22 to 30 each.
-
Chris, once and for all, was Mits natural or not?!
-
:(
-

perfectly put! ;D

I've seen Mexican snuff films with better production value. In all honesty though I was really looking forward to one more Ronnie Coleman video just so I could be sure he eats the same thing for breakfast 5 days a week.
-
Mistsuru should just change with the times. Start doing work thats with the latest technology. :-\

LMAO!!!
That is the best description of a Mits Okabe vid i ever read!
I think Mits produced his own bodybuilding version of "24"!

Mitsuru=BB Camera Guy
Most boring videos you'll ever watch. No information/inspiration/just very long. He should call most of the tapes "Cutting Room Floor, Cutler version"
I'd rather watch my Moaster video. :D
-
he's done because his videos don't sell like they used to
people download them or they just aren't interested anymore because the physiques of today aren't inspiring
E
-
arent inspiring? maybe to you but, the ticket sales say otherwise.. the usa's for example, have 350 competitors this year.. and the last two years have had the largest competitor list in their recent history.. the arnold classic is so frickin' big that there literally is no run to walk around.. there is more supplement companies and magazines inexistance than ever before... so, there obviously those who disagree with ya.. maybe you should say "in my opinion..." next time...
-
that sucks, i always liked the BFTO, those were the best
-
Shooting, editing, producing a DVD takes a lot of work and to do it well takes time. Gotta give mitz props for doing all that he has done, it's not easy work.

nobody likes the physiques of today more than the physiques of the mid 90's, when mits started filming the BFTO

Bodybuilding was much more interesting back then. Now they all look the same.

Unbelievable was an entertaining video. I bought Jay Cutler's 'One step closer' but those barking dogs drove me up the frigging wall

It's called "keepin' it real" or "raw" or simply "hardcore".
