Footbag Movie: A story ´bout Wumbo

Wumbo · Post by **Wumbo** » 08 Jul 2006 03:02

Ok folks.. this is my 1st movie. I gave two shows at school, and it ended up in making a full movie with story. Note: I focused on entertainment, bringing the fun to the crowd, not on high difficulty tricks i wouldn´t hit.

DL: http://fizzied.phasing.org/A%20story%20 ... 0Wumbo.wmv 270MB, 25minutes (thx to wolfpac for hosting!)

I don't know what to say...

a good video, but it was way too long and you really could have left some of those scenes out.

Good music.

too long, you should prolly work on your skillz a bit more before trying to do whole shows about footbag in public, and the music choice could have been better.

A lot of people will hate on this video because the it's just kickless-level shred. Despite that, I liked it. I thought it had some funny elements. You really got the crowd going with just toe delays and clippers.

I liked the speech a lot, good way to represent. That's awesome you've lost a lot of weight playing footbag. Keep shredding. Work flipside legovers and mirages.

I disagree. The basics are what the crowd understands. Anything beyond that and they're lost. Nice job. Way to do your thing in front of a crowd. I've always had trouble with that.

First of all it is not a good shred video, when the viewer expect to watch high quality combos and hard links.

Regarding the video:

To you as a person:
Wumbo, I am quite impressed there are not many people who are able to go on stage in front of such a crowd ( lots of people who probably know you before).
I guess you got not many tournaments under your belt so far, so the step on stage was even further.

Props for mastering that.

to the shows:
I like the shred scenes a lot and the history story about footbag.
I guess your shred level doesn't matter that much, because there were no people roaring for some guiltless strings. I think they got no idea what to expect and you did a great show.
I am no fan of taebo kungfu mix but that is just my opinion.
Your show seems that it was well prepared and that matters a lot.
Especially the history section made me cheering.
I mean you really gave the crowd some information about what you are doing and that footbag is a sport. That was great!
I conclude that many people left the place and now know about the sport!

Props for that.

To the editing:

I guess it is a buch of work to edit a 25 minutes video.
Moreover the movie scenes cost more time then just the shred scences I guess.
I like the music ( most of the time) and the timing of the switches where at the right place imo.
I do not like the medication stuff, because I got no idea what was the effect you wanted to achieve.
The movie had its up and downs ( for me as an entertained person) but I got not the idea to switch off.
So it was an interesting and entertaining film.

Summing up, I think you got potential as a videomaker and a shredder, go for it.

It seems you got the necessary motivation and capability to change things and finish them completely.

Props for that.

I am looking forward to other shredvids ( with more featured players) from you.

Thanks it was a nice watch.

Cu at Worlds, Wumbo

Downloading...

...Still downloading...

uhm wow, I don't know what to say either dude...

But making me watch you pop pills for 5 minutes wasn't fun. Making me watch you walk around all slow and weird with your hoodie up in front of what appears to be a huge crowd was even worse. I don't think I've ever seen someone take off a hoodie that slow in my life! I gotta say bro, I never made it past the 7 min mark. Okay I lied, I stayed a few more seconds for the Everybody is Kung Fu Fighting intro, just cuz by that point I needed a good laugh. But then I really left. 25 min is like valuable shred time lol.

Maybe a little less drama, a little more footbag?

EDIT:: Forgot to mention because the movie distracted me so much, but props for getting up on stage. That's an excellent element to have in your game.
