There will always be critics out there, so it's best to be stoic in taking criticism. Pride is one thing, but no one likes a hot head. Unless you're into Shakespeare and love the role of Hotspur in Henry IV, Part One.

I said I take pride in my quality of footage/video. If its dark I think its a let down for others, and it should be good for others.

I find it odd for someone to say "the song wasn't good enough" because that is just a matter of your opinion. I even thanked people for the advice/confirming who had a dark footage or not from the youtube/download.

Thought thanks for your advice, and always willing to take it

.

But at the same time, I used to stress out on taking the advice to please everyone, and to be honest I can not do that since its just not possible. So sometimes I just gotta say "frankly dear, I just don't give a damn"

Song:
My Homeboy's Chevy

Mac Dre

Some original gangsta, thizz reppin', bay area stuff!

If you don't like it, you've probably never been to the bay, and please keep it that way.

I have an LCD and a couple scenes are dark. It's like you have the contrast or brightness turned down on the 2 or 3 clips cause the rest is fine.

Yeah, this is how I felt mostly, but I said it in a pedantic way.

-how is it on the downloadable version? Because I did not even touch the contrast, and its perfect on every computer including crt with brightness turned up I personally have gone to. This is testing the following

15 inch crt monitor (had to turn up the brightness)
17 inch crt monitor (had to turn up the brightness)
15 inch laptop lcd screen
17 inch laptop lcd screen
15 inch lcd monitor
17 inch lcd monitor
21 inch lcd monitor
24 inch lcd monitor

So its really weird how its showing up as dark for some people. This was all tested with youtube quality though.

(I really mean it when I stress out about quality of my videos)

-I always release my videos early to a few people

as either something to cheer them up or to do a test run and see how the quality is for them. No one complained about the darkness either >> Glad you enjoyed XD

Like others have said, the downloadable version is the same as the YouTube version. Dark in a couple of scenes.

We obviously have different definitions on what constitutes dark in a footbag video

Hey thanks for the vid. I use an ibook G4 and I don't know what everyone is talking about. Vid looks good on you tube for me.

I watched the first minute or so, and then after realizing that it was the same footage we sifted through for hours and hours I instantaneously closed out of it.

Also i wasnt a fan of the song.

and also eric, im glad you spent so long editing this!
