Overload is finally here after a month and half, over 10min nearly 100 breath taking stunts.
Download (http://files.filefront.com/Overload_A_Stunt_Video/;3805357;;/fileinfo.html)
-
you stole my vid name :) congrats
-
oh well... maybe you could call it super overload, or mega overload. Or overloader
-
no my vids been about for 5 months now lol. Ill dl this though and ill edit in a few :)
Sorry it took so long i was owning Nightkid and Torque at MTA
Stunts: 10/10 very cool stuff man, grinds, roofs, car roofs, billboards. Nice blend.
Music: Thats where this vid is cool. I knew all these songs lol, ill shit. But next time dont just cut them off and go to the next 1.
9.5/10
Editting: It wasnt bad, but it leaves room for improvment in your next vid. Like i said, next time dont just stop your one part, then go right into the other. You gotta go into it slowly. Rather then right off.
6/10
Overall: 8.5/10 it maintains a nice feel all the way through the stunts and music are my highlights. Great job man, you did the name Overload good. :)

stealer... :)
-
Wow, great. Im downloading.
-
awesome, I love it when people actually take a good hard look at my vids and look them over carefully, I wish more people would do a nice review instead of "dued dat was aaawwwwessome 11/10 lol hahaha." Are you saying to have a longer wait between sections? and how should I end the songs, I had to cut them a little bit to get rid of the DJ commentary.
-
the way you should do it, is fading them in and out. That way its a smoother transition. im glad some1 takes critisim seriously and wants to learn from mistakes :) your gonna b a nice part of this community i can tell.
What program did u use to make the movie btw, thats where you can look for editting ideas :)
-
actually I did fade the music in and out, I guess I faded it in and out too fast. If you listen closely you'll here it.
I use imovie which Im 99% sure you windows people dont know anything about it. I like it better then adobe premier. I havent tried Windows movie maker, but I know most people use it. Im pretty sure imovie and window movie maker are about the same.

HOLY SHIT thats awsome! You are the best SA stunter I've ever seen!

-
awesome keep the reviews coming :)
-
I said it in GTAforums, and I'll say it here...best SA stunt video yet. Great stunts and also a lot of good ones for ten minutes. I couldn't find any fillers.
10/10

d/l ing now ....

nice work. i won't go so far as to say it's the best SA vid ever, because i'm kinda partial to my own SA vids. :P
here's my honest opinion...
The Good: you had some very nice car stunts in there and you used a good variety of locations. imo, car stunts are very underrated and not everyone can appreciate a high flying car stunt. i also like the grinds. i've done those exact same grinds myself, so i know they can be tricky. the p2g was nice too. you did it about as well as the physics of SA will allow. the only suggestion i would make if you want to try for p2g grinds that don't slow down so much is to try it on a downward sloping fence.
The Bad: overall, the bike stunts could use a little work. if i sound a little harsh it's just because i've developed very high standards for myself when it comes to bike stunts in SA, and it's hard to not look for the same intensity in other vids that i myself try for. you did have some nice roof jumps, but unfortunately they were all ones that myself and neo have already used in vids awhile back, so i was a little disappointed that there wasn't some new high roof jumps, but at the same time i also realize that it's still early in the SA stunting era, so to speak, and that there aren't a lot of vids being made, which makes it more noticeable when people are using the same stunts (i'm sure i'll end up doing it at some point too). i'm pretty good at run-on sentences, too.
The Ugly: length. it was waaay too long. this should have been split into 2 vids. hell, add another minute or 2 of stunts and you could have made 3 vids out of it. 2 or 3 4 minute vids is always better than 1 really long vid. the general rule of thumb that i myself go by is- if the vid is more than 6 minutes then split it into 2 vids. the longer a vid is the more likely you are to have repetition in it. also, i would suggest using music that is NOT from the game, simply because i think a lot of us are getting sick of the game music and it's nice to hear something different in a stunt vid.
overall i think the vid was good and i hope to see more in the future. :)

:D
ok then ...
first the critique - the thing about the editting for me is that on some of the awesome stunts you pull, you cut straight into the next stunt, and a greater impact could be made by giving a small breather before the next stunt. The motorbike stunts were good, but not so good as others I've seen in stunting videos
second the praise - the car stunts are far and away the most complete and awesome I've yet seen from SA stunting - excellently done
score: 9/10 - had it been just the cars stunting and a smidge of editting change a perfect ten could well have been given!
superbly done!!!! :grin:
-
oh, and Buzzsaw ... when does part 3 hit the airwaves??
-
I think there was some program for ripping the music from the PS2 DVD, if not try to find the tracks you want from somewhere else. The vid itself was sweet, but try finding some new stunts, SA vids are starting to get repetitive as everyone does the same stuff.
-
To be honest I did use a few stuntts Ive seen from other people, I ran out of ideas for roofing, and billboarding. I wanted to go out on a limb and make a very long video, and Ive had mixed reviews about it, some people loved a long video others loved a short video. My bike stunts are coming along, they are a lot better then my past videos, and my car stunts are better then ever Im getting very good at finding good locations for cars. To get the music I just imported video while the song was playing in the start menu and I extracted the music from the video. I prefer in game music because it gives you a feel of actually being in the game. Ive also had mixed reviews on that too.
-
if you want ideas for bike stunts, locations, etc., just pm me and i can give you plenty. ;)
stefan, it's currently on hold. i'm going to be doing a collab soon and i'm waiting until i know exactly which stunts i'm using for that so i don't use them twice in 2 different vids.
-
Sounds good Buzzsaw .... can hardly wait - here's hoping that June comes along quickly and the stunters awaiting the PC release hook in
Gotups294 .... u can't please everyone ;)
-
No thanks buzzsaw I like to find my own stunts thats part of the fun. We should get a group of stunters together and make a joint film that would fun and we would get much better results.
BTW I hope people dont try and make a mod to make the physics like VC. SA has stunts that are just as fantastic and want to see another stunt video of VC in a different place.
-
i agree. i think when the pc version comes out and people can make SA vids with nice camera angles then people will think better of SA stunting.
one mod that i think would be a huge improvement for SA, when it comes out for pc, would be one that gets rid of the blur effect when you drive fast. though i don't know if that kind of mod would be possible.
-
The SA stunt topic is basicly dead....
-
it seems to be .... but once June/July rolls around it should pick up - hopefully
-
I agree with Gotups! I hope they don't change SA into how stunting is on VC for PC! That just takes away the point! These people who can't stunt SA are obviously not good stunters. I have found many, many good places to stunt in SA! It has the same stunting capabilities as VC but things are just harder to perform making it more fun to stunt and more realistic and amazing when someone pulls off that huge b2b or that krail to grind(although we can't airgrab easy)! I am in know way saying that VC stunting is easy, infact its damn hard, and the things people achieve on it are amazing but it just disapoints me when people can't or won't stunt how SA is now and have to wait for the PC version to be able to do there killer stunts! Rant over :D
The vid:A very entertaining vid!! Great car stunts, although i think car stunts are beginning to bore me :blink: good bike stunts although some more originality might help and i didn't like the music! well after my longest post ever :D i give you a solid 8/10! :grin:
