Max Payne floats through the air like a fish through the ether, firing away on his double berettas.

Since we couldn’t afford an expensive slow-motion camera for the video, we shot it underwater in a friend’s swimming pool to get the slow-motion effect. Check out the Making-of for more!

A big thanks to everyone who helped out!
