Clavens documentary

Post by C-Fan »

Found this tonight and thought it was cool. Might be a good thing to show non-footbaggers, as there are close ups, the bag is visible, and Dave presents the sport in a good light. Good diversity of shots too. My only complaints are minor: some shots should have been shot in better light, some slow-mo would have helped a lot, and the music isn't as well synched up as it should be. But yeah, overall very good presentation of footbag.

really awesome video, the only thing i didnt like is how it says he is number 1 in the U.S.A. in the description, when in fact we all know that Jim is currently #1, really good video though, very informational, its something i would show someone who wanted to know exactly what freestyle footbag is like.

good find Ken.

Nice, I just forwarded that link to a bunch of people that are always like "Bob, you play hacky sack? That's so dumb"

Not that I care what they think, but this vid does a nice job of explaining and showing what we're really up to.

Dave said he was #1 in the country in 2006, which he was because he won the US Open that year but yeah I guess the person who 'tubed it didn't get that part. He's probably not a footbagger so he didn't catch that.

I like this vid for the same reasons Ken mentioned, it seems like it was probably made as a school project by one of Dave's college friends. Thus the somewhat low quality production.

David does the speaking part very well too.
The speech here was informative and the most important things of footbag were clarified.

There should be more documentaries like this, to get new people involved.

+1

I also liked it a lot. Big yellow bag, smart :) but do you think that a 32p should also make an apperance just to make people wonder?

That was the best footbag promotional video I've ever seen.

Really really well done and clearly presented.

I think all the points that got made really covered all you need to say in an introduction.

I plan on sending this to lots of people.

Go David!!! :D

It almost hinted of "Tricks of the Trade"

I could see a series of videos by David being very beneficial to novice players like myself. Not only because of his skills with a bag, but his ability to express the sport verbally.

Great Video!!

great vid dave! i think you did a very good job explaining the different aspects of the sport and what makes it unique from others. i also liked how you explained some of the reasons why you like kicking. I'll be showing this to people, no question!

It was okay. David did a good job, but the video itself was only okay in my eyes.
