Losing the game

Hey floks!

This is my 2nd movie ever, and the first one I'm really disappointed with. I'm just not hapy with final "product". Some things looked different on preview... Though I didn't put too much mork into editing, this movie mean a lot of work due to lots of problems with my video editing software. But who cares?

The movie is from the footage that comes from end of the summer.

It's 3:43 (If I remember correct) long, and the file is 25.2 MB

Here's the link

I'm ill and very, very, very bored, so it would be nice if you waste a few seconds of your time to post a comment, so I would have something to read in my overdosed free time.

Later,
Pawel

That was pretty cool, nice job man. Some of those links I have done before and we seem pretty alike actually (except the consecutive barflys

) Although I do think that sometimes your tomahawks are a little thin (same with me

) you are pretty good! Keep it up

Damn! I don't know why but my computer does bad things with this video. I cannot see whole production. I see a few seconds of shred and then the video stops, then another few seconds of shred and so on, and so on... Anyway, that what I have seen was cool

. This movie is much better then the first one. It's not boring. The first run with all Ducking stuff is amazing! PS Whirls (especially the first one) are thin in my opinion. Tomahawk is also a bit The. But DODs are nice! Torques are cool! Props on that vid and your progress. You are playing much better than when we shredded last time!

Not a bad video. Cool choice of music.
Some comments. Be mindfull of your background. The shot with the red banner in the background shows too much sky, making everything in the foreground dark as I'm sure you're aware. About 2:30 looks good with that shot as there is more definition of what you're doing, but at the start it's too dark. If your camera has it (which it should), try turning on the 'backlight' feature. Otherwise, try to have the foreground/subject brighter than the background.
Some of the colour effects you did were simple, yet cool.
I think you may have overdone the slow-mo replays. It's better (IMO) to just cut to slow-mo during the vid, rather than going back to the combo and showing it again.

Good shred, too. I like your style, it reminds me of... Ken?

Anyway, cool video. By all accounts it's better than your first, so that means that you're getting better with practice. Keep at it.

Great vid, I loved the first run with all those Ducks and Dives. Your Barflys and Spinning Clippers look awesome

It's cool that you threw stuff like Fairies, Peeking Osis or Matador.

Props for Spinning Clipper > Barfly (rpt), and all the fives (Spanishfly!

)

Thanks for the comments, and for dedicating your time to write them - it means a lot.

About all Whirling tricks... Befor making the video I watched them in high resolution files mutiple time, in slomoded, frame by frame, because I wasn't sure if they're clean. But after watching it thoroughly I'm sure, that they're clean. Maybe some of them are a bit thin, and dex isn't very deep, but it is there, even if done only with ankle.

Gareth: thanks for tips. I know about the backgroundd. But I didn't have tripod, so I was setting the camcorder where I could, not wher I would like to set it.
The colors effects is what looked very different on preview in Sony Vegas. I'm very disappointed with how they look in video.
I wanted to do the editing a bit different, but I was forced to use Sony Vegas, which I used for first time. And after fighting with Adobe Premiere Trial, which expired, I lost some of the enthusiasm for making this video.

Henry: Yeah... it was quite good feeling to hit Blurriest BSOS for the first time, when this guys and girls were passing by. After I hit it some of they started to clap and give me "props"

Later,

Nice video!
Cool 5>5 links and my favourite trick, Spanishfly, which looked good!

Nice to see you using Fairy and Pixie sets, I would have wanted to see Griftes too!

Thanks Anssi and Marco.

Marc, if you really think that my style is nice, and this is wrote without courtesy, thank thank you sooo much.

My spot is in front of sanatorium, and next to beach. And in summer it's a good place fore fundraising, but I haven't done it yet. I have to feel more comfortable with the length amd variety of my strings. I just have to get some better consistency.
