idea:

post less videos

EoghanMcDowell · Post by **EoghanMcDowell** » 24 Feb 2008 14:25

Golly... Maybe i should just stop checking modified for a month.

(EDIT) But anyway, I've always been under the impression that making lots of videos was good. I mean they're a great way to get constructive criticism, and thats what i hope for every time i put out a video. Oh well.

I was making a vid a week for i little while there and a couple of them got no response whatsoever---don't let it get you down. I can tell you this much, in know time you will be much better than I am.

Zeb take it easy. comments like that can be PMed.

You're right, the criticism is great and can usually only help, but it also might be good for you to make a video of your improvements. Maybe not posting a video every week, instead shred shred shred and improve a shit-ton and put out another video at a later point, cataloging your improvements between the vids. That's what I'd do if I had a camera at least

Edit: Advice from vid. You seem to play on the heels of your feet alot, try to stay on your toes more, you'll have faster footwork and be able to move faster in accordance with the bag. Nice bothsidedness

Well heres my opinion,
usually when people post videos they are usually looking for 1 or 3 of these things

-critisism
-praise
-help

he didnt ask for help, and this is like the 5th video ive seen of him, MY OPINION, is that people see so much of him so often that they dont really feel like watching a new video of him, this is in no offense to him, but in offense to how many videos of himself he has made.

Sure if Jim, or Dave, or Jorden made this many videos we would be stoked, but, hes not, no offense to him. So chances are that is a big factor in the reason people aren't

A) responding
B) watching

thats my opinion...

Zeb what you said makes sense, and i can understand where your coming from. I'm not gonna make any more videos until the weather warms up. Then we can have some more artistic and cool videos outside, rather then the boring tripod indoor ones I've been making. So anyways, I'm gonna give Cale and I time off camera to really improve. Then we'll come back and blow your minds, maybe.

Signing off.

I think what Zeb is trying to say is make your videos farther apart from each other, like so we can see dramatic improvement, like for instance, my shred from this week and 2 weeks ago is about the same, not much difference. Im sure youd get many more responses if this is what you did IMO, I havent released footage of me in over a year, maybe ill do that. I havent watched this video yet, but ill gladly tell you my opinion on your game when i watch it. actually. . .I dont tihnk ive seen a vid of you ever, watched you live once, but thats really it.

EDIT:

ok so i just watched it.

~I liked toe whirl >pdx mirage, lokked good and clean
~this may not be true, but it seems like your setting for your DLO's way to high, try setting them lower (not much) and getting on them a little quicker, then again Im not super pro so i may be wrong.
~the second pdx illusion on one of your last strings looked a little thin, but then again I cant really tell from this footage, its kinda blurry to me on youtube.

all in all it seems like your shred is nice and controlled and your arms really dont move much which i think is also good,some people really flail there arms around and i think it looks really crappy, I didnt see much pixie, Im sure you can pixie, but Id like to see some
