film #1 SLOWMOVES:
just a taste of the highspeed feeling in footbag.

film #2 Worlds2008:
A shred film shot in high definition (720p)

big 3 qualifications with all the players that hit at their combo(s)
Shot in High Speed ofcourse

Wow that's really cool. So far I've only watched the first one, but I have to ask before I forget. Whats the song called? So relaxing.

I couldn't watch the vids because I have an old computer, but is the artist for "slow moves" Nick Drake? I used to listen to him a lot and tried to learn guitar in his crazy tuning

The guitar playing sounds a LOT like Nick Drake, but the voice is different...

To me the music sounds like Devendra Banhart if I'm not mistaken...

As I said on the Danish forum, Ske... THANKS man!!! Can't wait to see more... face slapping

if you google the lyrics, you'll come up with Jose Gonzalez.

Thanks a lot for these videos! That was some epic stuff. Great to
show to people who've never seen footbag before. The music goes
really well with the pace of the video!!

Great video quality, thanks!

A lot of hunched over players in Sick 3 Part 1.

One of the Sick 3's is Beirut and the other appears to be a remix of Astor Piazolla from the Verve Sessions (though I could be way off on this one).

I only saw the Sick 3's so far. Mind blowing stuff. I found these very helpful and I fell asleep visualizing barfly in new ways from watching all of the DOD type components in the video. If I hit barfly in the next week I can give the credit to the Videographer and Phil. This sort of footage is so helpful!

Really amazing to watch. If this was used during comp so many the's would be caught. It's pretty crazy to be able to break down the dexs like that.

Thank you all alot for the nice feedback. Its nice to know people appreciate the time and efforts put into it.

Music: Big3 p.1: Beirut - Elephant Gun
Big3 p.2: Gotan Project - Chillin'

Slowmoves: JosÃ© GonzÃ¡les - Slow Moves

I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing on a pretty basic laptop, so theres a lot of rendering time involved with the High Definition footage as theres almost double the data going through the system compared to standard DV.

My camera is the newly released Casio Exilim F1 Pro. It looks like a normal SLR photo camera but can shoot the highspeed footage from 300fps up to 1200fps video. So when people around you think you are just taking photos you can get some crazy slow motion and its also capable of filming Full HD video (1080i)

High defintion video is definatly a great thing qualitywise but its important to remember that you dont gain anything if you dont use it wisely. alot of nice footage can easily be ruined by bad camerawork.
