Senheiser Lav Mics.
Very professional. Excellently shot. Great use of the 5D and it's shallow depth of field enabling the use of negative space into compositions that would have been distracting with a traditional video camera. Also love the mix of black and white, slow motion and interview footage. Has a very good pace to the editing of what is essentially a workout session (no actual boxing competition). the only detail I disliked was the styling of the subtitles. The soft edged drop shadow (necessary due to the varied backgrounds you were working with) was too soft and offset too far. The text seemed to float in and out of focus depending on the background. Just sharpen the shadow a little and only offset it slightly.
