Shit is hitting the fan...
From Per Bernal
Bill was asked to cover the shoots I did for MD Monday following the Olympia. It included features of Victor Martinez (MD January 2010), Kevin English (outtake also in MD #1/2010), Kevin & Kai (no set date), Kai & Oscar (Parts of it in #1/2010) and Kai by himself (#1/2010). Nobody expected Bill to create a master piece based solely on the shoot and photage of Kai & Kevin themself. My older brother was recently nominated for an Emmy a short time ago for his documentary "Birth Of A Surgeon", so I do have a grasp of the editing process of a video or movie. But that doesn´t explain why he had to use the questionable clips he did as filler material. If you don´t have enough footage you just wait until you have or you don´t do it at all. To me it seems selfish as he has not shown any signs of regards to the integrity of the people involved. Who´s interest does he represent? How do you think Kai and Kevin feels about this? Especially Kevin who just won his first Olympia and just signed up with MD? That´s some welcome in his first video as an official MD athlete?!! The key word is integrity and respect of the people you shoot. If you´re planning to throw punches under the belt or be controversial to make headlines, you have to make this known up front with the people involved and the company you represent.
