Mits' greatest film, hands down, was BFTO 1996.



Agreed - although most of the BFTO videos were good - better than most individual bodybuilder's videos.

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? 

Meltdown.

Mits is an amateur, the guy knows nothng about good editing, sound mixing etc.

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  :-\

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?

I remember seeing a picture of Mits in an issue of MMI from '92!

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

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.

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!

Oh what a lost.... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

We will miss his 6h+ movies without any talk! Actually he´s movies SUCK BIG TIME!!!!!!
