Hi Modifed! One week ago I filmed a pretty good session of Warsaw crew and I've just finished the movie out of this material. Comments are welcome

Nice video. maybe i little to short, but cool. i like the editing besides changing color from blue to yellow etc.

i liked merlin to toe blur from You and the sicks 3 from Wiktor too. Gosia improved pretty much. and the surge looked clean to me, huge props and thanks for the video.

nice video, good shred!

just to let you know, cause i assume your german isn't to good:

the rapper whose song you used, FLER, is a big close-to-neonazi asshole. the song title is "neue deutsche welle" (new german wave). there was a big outcry about him being nationalist and such. this is different than african-american rapppers being accused of racist lyrics, cause they are a marginalized part of society, whereas fler comes from the mainstream "german" society. anyhow... krisskross is cool, fler isnt. sorry for the hijack.

Nice to know what music did I chose

.

BTW: Sam, if you read it, you have to know your Christmas Calendar vid inspired me to do some effects

. I'm waiting for your criticism because you're the man if we are talking about videos editing!

this wasa really good video i liked it very much, some of the editing fit, but at the same time it didnt (the random color changing) but it was definately a "keeper"

thanks

That toe style is so great.

I am honored Sir!

I'll start with the criticism and build up to the good stuff. The overall flow of the effects in the video seemed choppy. And, the ending was almost abrupt.

The intro with the dancing and the delay is really great and fits well with the feeling of the song. At 34 seconds, when the DJ slowed down the record and you slomo'd the shot: perfection, that's what editing is all about. Colors are always nice, and nice doing it to the beat, your biggest challenge as an editor will be to figure out how to create the FLOW of effects so that people are WOWed but not DISTRACTED.. THATS HARD! at 1:04 the shredita is in the HOTTEST STANCE EVER. I'm serious when people ask what stance she is the answer is HOT stance because holy crap she's just standing there.. like... what if all shreditas stood like that.!!! I'm TRIPPEN. And then showed her bust phat.. You must have planned that.. Stand there look hot, then shred. Nice. Then at 1:45 you do the bumps on the beat BUT slowly zoom in while you do it, that's skill and vision nice. At 2:00 onward the effects seemed a little choppy like maybe you rushed at the end of the video.

Overall a step in the right direction.

Now, maybe you can teach me something. How do you get the video looking so good on youtube? Please tell me the CODEC export settings you used from premiere, like the dimensions, codec, framerate, etc. Because my videos always look like crap on youtube.

Thanks Cod,
You're the MAN!

nice video

good to see some quality toe2toe action

I'd also like to know what video codecs you use

Cod · Post by **Cod** » 10 Feb 2007 03:06

Wow! QuantumBalance, what a comment! I have never seen such a comment to my vid

.

I also don't like my editing while Wiktor's Sick 3s but I had just no idea how to edit it cool so I just slow-moed them. And my fav effects in whole movie is slow-mo in 34 sec. (which you think it's perfection

) and bumps at the end to the word "jump".

About compressing. I use the program called "pocketdivx" and set "video quality" to 100. Hope it helps.

Oh, and I have to show this shreditta your comment

This video has been up long enough that this won't be spoilers:

Liked:

All those Merlins, damn, that move is like nothing for you

Light FX were cool

SURGE! OMG sooooooooooo clean.

Shredita footage, sweet.

Didn't like:

Polish rap music, sorry I just don't like most rap anyways

Dude, HOLY CRAP. Pocketdivx WORKS SO WELL. It's FAST! It makes small files. And, it's easy. MY GOD MAN! SUPER COOL! I think I'm gonna pay 6 bucks to upgrade to LATHE just because it works so well, but maybe I won't, cuz it already works so well. Thanks COD, I have ALWAYS had trouble encoding stuff. All my youtube videos are really BLOCKY so now I can redo them. THANKS COD <3
