Chaos Green Shred Video - Please leave feedback -

Eric Chang · Post by **Eric Chang** » 28 May 2008 20:08

Part I of the Chaos Green Shred videos that I am making!

>>>Note<<<
Due to the footage that might be lost this might be the only part that comes out, I had part II almost ready for release but my craptop failed horribly on me for the fifth time. So until then this is the only version you will be able to touch, and its being kept alive via poor quality youtube. Sorry for the trouble and hope that I can get this thing fixed and more shred footage.

Here are my critiques, and please add your train of thought!
-Hold that camera better!
-Edits are too simple (but I am making due with what I have with Windows Movie Maker)
-Change up the filming style(I noticed I used the close up leg shots much too often and had to take some clips out)
-Try to get something more than just shred, maybe an interview or some funny moments that I missed out on

I apologize to the following to those I did not get some footage of (especially Red, due to me leaving early and not attending the Monday shred)

I thank those who helped film when I could not in the credits, and those who helped figure out how to end this video. Not to mention the sponsors; Planet Footbag
Freedom Footbag
Kolo Sport
and various stichers who donated footbags to our cause!
Also of course those who took their time, effort, and money (Steve) to help put this freestyle tournament together!

I can not wait for next year, and hopefully more people can attend!

Cheers enjoy, and give me your thoughts, mind you I probably will fix what I can since I'm still not happy with this

Hilltop Hoods - Nose Bleed Section, a really great Aussie Hip-Hop group!

wow that was awesome eric. Really great I mean from a video standpoint I thought. I love the beginning of the song.... it's a quote from snatch... I also loved the begining of the video with everyone just kicking

Eric Chang · Post by **Eric Chang** » 30 May 2008 09:48

Yeah the quote from Snatch when I heard it after footbagging, when Alan Ford goes "Do you know what Nemesis means?" I was like "Barraging BARFLY!" and out of the group Abram(the only other footbagger) got my joke. So since then I was hoping to get someone to do NEMESIS!!! So I spliced it in there quickly

Glad you really liked it.

part II

?

Big problem, the shitty ass VAIO laptop crashed out on me for the fifth time. To be honest VISTA has been giving me so many problems and I hate it beyond belief.

So as of right now all routines and whatever else not uploaded is considered lost until I find away to get this shit back without void the warrenty.

By the way Sony VAIO VGN-NR285E for sale, and biggest money wasted in my life. I mean like new...

so.... far the only people who have said anything about the video have been asked in person, or ... Nate....

Yeah really, I have no idea what I am doing with filming or editing I will be the first to admit that

I am waiting for my crappy lappy to be fixed before I can begin a new with the Montreal Spring Jam video... but its going to be roughly the same as I play around with the editing software.

A few things people have told me THAT I Asked in person since I need feedback if I am ever to grow with the camera and editing!

-Leg shots, maybe one really cool one instead of so many (main one)

-Its a shred video and don't try to be so artistic! (agree and disagree but willing to try it) - Example instead of moving the camera so much, just keep it still so you can see the player. I think instead of always moving it use it here and there.

-David Claven's window shot, basically some people didn't like it as you didn't see everything that was going on. Not to mention that it was a bit far off so closer would be nicer. (Yes and no, as I think I want to have a bit of variety, I like to see the whats going on too! Not to mention I didn't film that part :-p)

-Hilltop Hoods: Nosebleed Section (I found out that this song has been used at least one and maybe twice.... wish I had known before hand :-p note to self find some music no one has used before :-p or do some research at least!)

-Who is that guy dancing in front of the camera? (Red!)

Well to be honest, so far its all been about filming! I know nothing about editing except for what I like

Anyways tell me anything! Is it too simple? More effects? What throw in your two cents or whatever! It might help me out it might not, but you never know

Oh yes, please leave whatever you want! I promise to ignore flames. Even if you downright hated everything about it! Or even if on drugs and think this is the greatest contribution to mankind then say so (though its not :-p).

Cheers,

Eric Chang · Post by **Eric Chang** » 27 Jun 2008 09:09

IT was in the process of being thrown together in a quick minute plus trailer

Once again I need to take out the hardrive and see if I can recover the footage. But shhhhh only a few people know about that :-p
