zeit fuer ein machtwort....
max hier is nichts boes gemeint ne, nich falsch lesen
es sind meine gedanken zu film oder shred vid oder wie auch immer
allright i am watching it for the second time now commenting live, hah.
first of all, i think the vid is way too long.
you have some interesting parts that are destroyed by repitition.
beatboxing for example....man, i must say it totally annoyes me. i
already have to live with it at every tournament (greets to the city
cowboy

, but that is a personal thing. in a video, i think it is a good idea
to put it in, but you totally overdo it. it is just too long, nothing new.
if i am forced to receive information more than once it totally pisses me
off. it is like a hollywood movie. i can not watch this pathetic shit. you
know whats gonna happen cuz the stories are ridiculous, you see it
happening, they say whats gonna happen and the music underlines the
same thing.
where im getting at is that i think the most important thing when you
produce anything is to reduce it to the core.
i know the feeling when you fall in love with certain scenes or stuff but
you just have to drop every ballast.
for example think about the part when mazze is shredding in the
tram......i like it as an insert, but you do not use the best shot, you seem
to use every shot of it. thats what totally annoyes me since i do not see
anything new.
the same goes for some shred scenes, which differ only slightly.
additionally, do i have to see vasek hit pdx eggbeater both sides,
connected with butterflies? everybody knows what insane stuff he hits,
so i am bored when i see him hit this.
you use parallel cuts between shred and beatbox, i do not see any reason
for that. the beatbox gets me out of the rhythm. or better i do not get into
any rhythm, cuz - sorry folks - neither vasek nor felix can drop and hold
a rhythm which is on the point.
i like the idea of letting the viewer now something about the different
locations of your trip. i am thinking of an intro which transfers the trip
feeling to me somehow. the text you use confuses me a bit, since you cut
back and forth between the areas.
i like the cut at 12:13, the insert with paul pointing at the cam.
dude you have so many good scenes. reduce it.
for shred i either dont wanna see someone bust pdx torque, butter, blurry
whirl, butter, ps whirl, butter, blurriest, butter........get my point? heh
i know it was impossible for you, but the tripod scenes get me out of it.
i think i would not use them. on the other hand it is chad playing right
now, and i like to see him shred. whatever.
the problem with those scenes is though that you cut these together at
some point without varying the angle which underlines the oldschool
shred tape feeling.
the guy with the guitar is WICKED. and its a perfect soundtrack for the
shred scenes, i really like this. seriously, this is great.
editing:
personally it is not my style, i try to be objective anyway.
i can not see the point in screening names only for you, yves, felix and
vasek (did i miss someone?). are you the chosen ones?
shred:
i would not use footage with not clean dexes, and you have tons of that. it
annoys me watching this
20:05 : very nice shot.
20:29: this is a very nice spot.
hehe ilkka and lasse, this is nice....tournament feeling. good to start the
music before shred starts. fluent.
haha frauenquote gibs auch LOL

)))
i think the close shot of pauls face does not fit into the whole thing.
the focus is on the trees in the backround too
yves:
i think this part is really good. he has the best runs of this video, you
vary the spots a lot and you use different angles and image sizes (lol,
word? einstellungsgroessen). the smooth zoom you did once does not feel
like an effect but rather natural, i like that. good.
but please, why do i have to see tims ass? it was not funny in "the
sickening" and it still isnt.
the track at 43:20 is wicked, what is this? =)
the yellow letters on the black and whites pictures at the end are nice.
allright i am sorry that my feedback got more and more confusing.
one hour footbag is way too much for me.
i think your video starts working after 25 mins or something, starting with
yves' part. but then i am nearly already tired of shred.
there are a lot of good scenes, nice shots and hilarious inserts.
i would prefer a video around 20-30 minutes with just those.
i am not sure about my credibility though with this extrem long post.
happy new year !
