Yeah

,
Im glad seeing a vid from SJFF, some sick shred there.
And I can tell you have style in making vids there Zeb (the edit pretty reminded me about your vid from worlds) I like it, it keeps the tension.

Manna you're already so much better than the last vid i've seen. You're already stepping both sides and busting downtime illusions all over the place. I have to say I'm pretty damn jealous of your progress but I'm sure you play way more than I do and deserve it. Keep it up!

Haven't had time to watch all the videos yet, but had to comment about the ones I did:

#3. Visually great concept. I love the whole black shoes in snow thing. I was also impressed you were able to play so well in those conditions... it looked freezing and slippery. I would have cut the intro and outro by a good 10 seconds a piece, but the middle was excellent.

#5. Manna special! Awesome. Manna's game is coming along really fast and nicely. I also loved the way this vid was shot and put together. The shots were visually interesting, and the little touches of non-footbag imagery balanced the video. Definitely a keeper vid for me.

Just thought I'd mention that I didn't upload the YouTube link (I think it's Manna's friend). But the video seems to be sped up a bit and looks weird (his style is a lot more smooth). Zeb had trouble downloading the video though.
(Oh, and since I'm writing anyway, this was like his worst session ever

(ie: he's awesome))

i watched all 5 so far, and had a long post with comments on each, but it deleted itself for no reason

but i just have to say DAMN!!! Manna is getting SO FRIGGING GOOD!!! this kid was MADE for footbag. everything looked really good. awesome song choice too. im only like 30 seconds into this video and im already on the edge of my seat.

wow. so good. the editing in this video was top 3 of any footbag video i've ever seen. and i've seen a few.

MANNA!

You have improved alot! You are making some sweet progess, and now you are digitally imortalized in the Modified X-Mas calendar! Looking good, smooth and effortless.

Loved the blurry whirl and pheonix. Keep up the great progress.

Also, I absolutely LOVE that footbag at the end!

my favorite video so far is Erik's video of Manna.

Zeb's video and Sergey's were also awesome.

also why don't people use the intros? oh well.

manna, lookin' good kid!

shredding alone does suck, but is required if you want to get good!

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 05 Dec 2007 13:24

daNG,

we need weekly videos from him! so much progress. if he doesnt like shredding alone then he can come shred with me! i would really like to meet him someday, he will be famous.

Same comments as everyone else bout Manna.

Also the song was really really good. Great vibe, nice minimalistic editing, good video.

mattieu,
enjoyed the smattering of different players and styles. your vortexes look effortless. ianek has crazy move selection, and was very entertaining to watch. Seb has fast fast legs and his pixie paradons are great. his game was my favorite to watch, long strings, good variety, entertaining to the max. too bad alot of his chainsaw's were thin, still crazy good. I was really surprised to see yax in the mix there. i thought he wasn't playing/ wasn't in mtl any more. nick was funny at the end, i liked his little rock bottom pep talk. i don't know who the guy doing all the double spinning stuff was, care to enlighten me?
on a video stand point, i found it really hard to watch, because the automatic focus was always trying to focus on something and never quite getting the player focused properly for very long. use the manual focus next time, because your camera doesn't seem to like the room colour, lighting, moving person combo.
the length was good. there was enough variety of players that i didn't get bored watcing it, and seb's song was an excellent choice. i had always wondered if some had used that song for him, and if they hadn't how long it would take untill someone did. now i know!
great job!

here are some answers:
Yax is in montreal for a short period of time and came to shred twice in the last month (once while we filmed). He's really rusty since he does'nt really play anymore.
The double spin guy is Marc Giard

My auto focus does suck, but I always forget to change it.

I also always wondered why nobody used that song for Seb before
