Where have you been?

Felix was dropping DSW before Vasek...

DSW is cool but impractical.

I like Vasek's style lately but his runs are kind of boring and one-sided. I would rather see redonkulous combos involving his newfound whirr powers instead of just consecutive whirrs and his handful of wack whirring tricks, like whirring superfly and smp egg. Whatever.

Anyway, sorry for the bitter post!

I really dig watching videos of Vasek throwing down for the first time in a while. It's cool that now that he's grown his body type is a liiittle different, and with that, his style. This, along with the circle show video are nice reminders of what Vasek was throwing down a couple years ago. I hope he picks his variety back up, though...

And of course: THANK YOU MADS, YOU THE MAAAN.[/b]

Sam basically said what we all may think alittle. I know I think in a similar fashion sometimes. He def could be doing some seriously dank combos with, like sam said, his new whirring power. I'm just thankful that the videos are put together, no matter what that guys potential is, I'm stoked to see anything he does.

Wow. Backside symp nemesis?! Gyro backside symp nemesis attempt?! Super cool!

Unfortunatly I'm really unimpressed with the camera work in this video. I don't mean to offend and I apologize, but I think that Vasek deserves some good filming techniques.

For example in the first shot vasek comes out of the door and does a triple atw and the bag goes off the screen and the slow mo is super choppy. Try using the frame blend option it will help your slow mo. Try gently moving with the ebb and flow of the footbag, it will help the bag stay in focus. Make sure there is movement in your camera work, movement that compliments Vaska's insane movement. See I'm not just dissing, I'm making contructive suggestions. I really mean no disrespect and I hope you all listen to smokey the bear..

Only you can prevent Flame Wars.

I wish I could film vasek!! with Blitz's camera!!!

Great Shred, normal camera work, copywrited song

Thanks for the cool replies to most of you guys.

Some of you made me realize, that I shouldn't have uploaded this vid.

Sorry..my mistake. I'll take it down because you and Vaska deserves better than this.

This video is AMAZING! Mads, you produce PRO videos, you should be paid for these because they are not amature at all and they take you so long.

Very occasionally a video comes out that becomes the best thing I can show people on my PDA so they can see what footbag is. Previously I used smooth criminal, i'm now converting this video so I can use it, it's the best footbag video i've seen in a long time!

Great work mads!

If anyone hasn't seen this video, please PM me and i'll give you a link to it. (Sorry Mads, I don't care what you say, this is too good for me to keep to myself. I am proud of your work, even if you aren't!)

This is probably the most depressing post I've ever read on Modified.

Hey Mads, My bad. I was really just trying to give you a constructive criticism. I took extra lengths to try and regard your feelings because thats what I wish all the people would have done for me, but they didnt.

So then let me give you some compliments on your video.

You had a lot of different types of shots. You don't always film the same way. Your editing wasn't choppy in regards to the music matching the action. And now that I think about it... the cuts you made were smooth too. I liked how when Vasek was travelling around you stayed still.

I don't know what else to say, if you still wanna be upset.

You could just take my suggestions however you want and go on being a better video maker.

Peace,
Sam

Don't think you did. I found it most unconstructive..

QuantumBalance wrote: I wish I could film vasek!! with Blitz's camera!!!

Oh yeah - that would be so much better than everybody else could do it. At least! And you would even make your own super groovy music, so you wouldn't run into copy-right problems.

BTW; how does it feel not to able to realize your wishes?

QuantumBalance · Post by **QuantumBalance** » 13 Oct 2006 04:01

I feel pretty okay. How about you?

You skipped the bulk of my post which is where the constructive criticism was.

that would be so much better than everybody else could do it. At least! And you would even make your own super groovy music, so you wouldn't run into copy-right problems.

Not everybody else. And I would make my own mistakes, which hopefully someone would point out consideratly without saying something like "Man this video sucked."

That has to be one of the best footbag vids I've ever seen, music was awesomly sync'ed to the awesomness style of vasek.

Shame your so bloody sensative. To let one of the biggest dicks on this forum get you down like that is pretty fuked.

Thanks to whoever made mads take this video down, if you want to help him with his techniques don't post it in the thread for every footbagger to see, its just a slap in the face. Send him a PM if you want to help, I personally thought the video was way better than 90% of the video's on modified. I really can't see how you can put all that shit in this thread about the video, when it was clearly fucking amazing. I am really disapointed in modified lately and thats one of the reasons I don't really read here anymore, I just watch the videos and keep a watch out for Tournies... Sorry to say footbag community but I'm sad to read some of your posts.

Sorry Mads if they offended your Vid, I thoguht it was Fantastic and you deserve better for this, I'm sure you spent a lot of time on it and it doesn't feel good to be criticized in front of the community. Seriously I think PM's are a better way to give constructive criticism.

I wanted to watch this video in school today, and I've already watched it about 10 times since it has been out, I hope this makes you feel better because I really enjoyed it. Who cares if one little shot was out of place, it was very creative and everything was great, it did it for me.

Peace out modified, I hope some of you grow up.

QuantumBalance · Post by **QuantumBalance** » 13 Oct 2006 04:42

Why was stating my oppinion wrong? Why are you acting like I just came up and said this vid sucked? Why don't you read my signature a few times. Maybe outloud. Take a second a think about it. You know why I wrote that? Because I have fought with people like you guys for so long. What is this another test? I can't believe the way you are reacting. How old are you? Scratch that. How old are you acting? Every creative person has to take criticism. I only wish it was all given out the way I did. I have had people come up into my threads and say horribly rude things without even a thought. Now look what you all are doing. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

It's a video! It's not perfect! The creator of it isn't above improvement. None of us are. For you to get all mobscene just shows that you aren't worthy of improving.

Maybe you can think about this or maybe you will respond with some other meaningless garbage. Maybe I'll even try again to convince you that

I was actually just saying my oppinion respectfully.

What are you all doing? Are you acting respectfull? Do you want to be treated with respect?

Do you?

Thanks to whoever made mads take this video down

Mads took it down. No one made him do it.

I would appreciate it if someone that agrees with me could speak up.

max · Post by **max** » 13 Oct 2006 04:57

or MAYBE, Mads could put the link back up so that the whole online fb community can watch a recent video of Vasek AND you can take your drama off to an other thread where it belongs.

I havn't seen or downloaded the video and yes I'm a bit dissapointed by that.

QuantumBalance · Post by **QuantumBalance** » 13 Oct 2006 05:00

What do you mean MY Drama? What are you trying to say?! I was just giving a CRITIQUE. GO READ IT FOR YOURSELF!

shredzilla · Post by **shredzilla** » 13 Oct 2006 05:02

This was the WORST video I've ever seen!!!

Haha totally joking. Mads makes the best vids, hands down. I've always liked his filming style, and his CAMERA is AWESOME. That thing takes crystal-clear footage. Music's great as always, and of course the TATW bsos and backside nemeses don't hurt

But honestly, whenever I watch a Mads vid, the cinematography is one thing that always stands out when I'm watching. Stylish Phillie is still one of my all-time faves. You're the best Mads!

(*Scrambles to make sure vid's still in cache...)

james_dean · Post by **james_dean** » 13 Oct 2006 05:06

I wasn't able to download this video all day but read all the good reviews, and mads productions are always great, so I would be extremely disappointed if I missed out.

But I've gotta say: I'm on Sam's side with this one. If you can't take criticism then maybe you shouldn't post your video on a forum. Will you only accept compliments? Is your ego that feeble?

I'm not trying to piss anyone off here, and again, I think you make amazing videos, but Sam just gave his opinion, and quite respectfully I thought. It was really obvious he was doing his best to be respectful. People say he should grow up? I think you've got it the wrong way around.

Please put the video back up. Many of us don't wish to miss out on what sounds like an amazing peice of work.

QuantumBalance · Post by **QuantumBalance** » 13 Oct 2006 05:07

Listen to me please!

I apologize for saying that the camera work was not good. I apologize for making a statement that caused Mads Hole to decide to take down his video. I apologize for every bad thing that I have ever done. Please put the video back up. I'm keeping my cool, explaining myself and giving in to wanting everyone to see things my way. I'm trying really hard and I honestly think that I'm doing a good job, but apparently I can't satisfy everyone.

I am truely sorry this happened because I really didn't want it to. Hopefully if you reread this all you can realize what my intent was. I mean, Mads if you think about what I told you, I'm sure your next videos will be even better.. right?
