I think the first time I heard Postal Service was to a Dave Clavens video too!
Thanks Sam!

The video is very good, but I don't like your new video technique, because all the time there is "lower body shred", you know a lot of asses and stuff, and I prefer shred vids were you can see "full bodies" at least often, and faces sometimes :P, but thats just my opinion.
The movie has really great atmosphere.

I wasnt even there and i freakin loved it! I love seeing the atmosphere of tournies and i really wish i could have gone to it. . . .but i lacked funds :(

but yeah anyway. i really loved the entire video. the random funny shots are what made it. the part with david driving made me laugh so hard.
Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.

Video was amazing Sam!!! Funny ass intro. Good job capturing the worlds atmosphere with sick shred! Zacks apple break was funny but nothing tops Barnes and "you like it on your back!" I laughed out loud a lot and its the best wake and bake present i could have asked for. Nice wrap up with the DC section too.

THANKS for all of your time and effort and it was nice to meet you at worlds!

Okay, to elaborate...Man that was awesome. I feel like I was there too, you did an excellent job of capturing the spirit of Worlds 07.

*****WARNING SPOILERS*****

The interview with Jorden's dad was awesome. Like, you should really try to get on TV doing interviews, cuz I thought you were that good. A lot like Elis in that way, but I felt you really just nailed the interviewing in the movie, and you make people feel comfortable about talking to the camera, which is amazing.

Another thing I loved was the short Byrin interview. He's definitely one of the most underrated players out there and it was cool to hear him say "Not yet." when you said he's one of the best.

The 9 Square thing made me crack up because Mosher's just the type crazy enough to take an idea and run with it so it was cool to see your casual mention of it come to fruition and everyone loving it. Like I was totally thinking 'oh brother, he's obviously joking' and I figured no one would want to do it. That's why we need people like you and mosher :P Although I could've done without the pink capris mosh :twisted:

The Stephen thing was funny just cuz Stephen's always so damn serious on here, and we all know how he is in real life so it's awesome that you captured him in that moment. Good one ;)

The epic build up to Dave's bap induction was amazing. That really just rolled the whole thing up in a ball and delivered on emotion. A perfect end to a great story.

I guess my only real complaint is that there wasn't more candid stuff or even shred with some of the non-American players. But this is like the first time it's been in America in a long time, so let them hog the glory.

Loved it dude, way to knock this one out of the park. Hit me up with your addy and I'll send you some money for this.

because I did some BAD INTERVIEWS dude. I mean like.. I was interrupting people when they hadnt even stopped talking. I was like.. speaking too much and not being able to phrase questions. I have never interviewed before.. but I did a lot of interviews so after like 20 I felt like I got pretty good at it.

I think I would be a really good interviewer now :)

Awesome, awesome video. I got home at 3 or 4 am. I picked up some chick (Kevin 07 Aussie blokes, it's a score machine), we did the dirty, I got up, the video was finished, I loved it, she loved, this is a must watch. Why am I still up at 6:49 am, it's because Sam C, is a fucking hero. Great job, great atmosphere, I'll make it out one day, till them lets bounce around.

Seriously top work, it didn't matter about the lack of shred, props all round.

I laughed a lot. It was very fun to watch and I will watch it again soon.

Sam- "yah, I just use it to pick up chicks"
Indian Man- "you don't pick up any chicks"

I watched that over and over again.

Thanks
First think about how to practice or don't bother practicing.

Great video Sam! Now I'm really pissed that I didn't make it :( . Looks like everyone had a ton of fun!

Ohh yeah, the little bit of shred was just about perfect for the vid.

Loved it!

Gonna watch it again!

I've got a gift for Chad but I don't know who Chad is.

Yeah I may have been a little under the influence of some substances when I made that post. Thank Jeebus that firefox has a spell checker, it's a good thing it doesn't say how long the post took.

But yeah, it's a great video. The huge download is worth it, especially for such good qualitah. My main criticism is that it needs names of people. I mean I recognised a lot of people, but there were also a lot who I had no idea who they were. I think for all videos the featured people should have their name displayed when they first appear. Perhaps not necessary when there are only a couple of people and they're easily recognisable (like Honza's rooftop video), but for videos like this it should be mandatory.

Anyway props again.

edit; Also I smoked a fine Cuban cigar while watching it, and now I have ash all over the carpet and my room smells horrible (no change really :P)
