Post by: Determined on November 25, 2012, 08:07:06 AM: Which part do you not understand?
A freestyle (genre) edit with only 2 angles per stunt.

I don't consider this self-explanatory at all tbh. How is the combination of your style and the style of somebody else combined a freestyle editing? Defintion of freestyle is something like "do whatever the fuck you want"...

There should be a judge section for this kind of stuff.

Post by: Determined on November 25, 2012, 09:19:14 AM: Yeah, unless you have an immediate sensory reaction that pretty much tells you how you feel about the word, it's quite hard to grasp it. I've been reading wikipedia articles just to try to see if I can explain it well enough :lol:
I think XTO should indulge in what he means by the challenge.

Combining or whatever, you said it yourself.

Post by: XTO -- on November 25, 2012, 10:19:18 AM: Freestyle means that you don't have guidelines for this. You can do whatever you feel like doing to beat your opponent.

Edit: Will you need the extension?

Post by: XTO -- on November 28, 2012, 12:37:06 PM: Well, first of all, I read your comment on youtube saying that the hitler thing is a joke. Unless you think that this tour is a joke, you should take things more seriously. Also, adding that vocal made the song even more shitty than it already is...

Either way, good points is that you created a very well synched video, but try to create a better pace for your video. You were adding random effects to a CJ grinding at .5km/h...

As for Promagic, everything was perfect, maybe I'd work on a few angles here and there, but still, I don't have anything to complain about.

Voting for Promagic

Promagic's entry felt too dark, didn't fit the song either. He had a way better choice in music though and his editing was solid.

DaVe's entry had terribly annoying music, especially for a native german. The Hitler thing wasn't funny, way out of place and the effects seemed randomly chosen and not thought through at all.

vote for Promagic

/edit: why the fuck did i quote this?

Post by: Basium on November 29, 2012, 02:57:18 AM: Dave: The pan/crop wasn't well carved and sharp. The effects were close to be random and some of them were unfittable. The CC was nice but kinda blurred. The camera angles were very close to the stunts and didn't make the stunts look clear. The objective of editing is to show how was the stunt executed and give an atmosphere of any genre of editing just use your brain next time and make something at least clean.

Promagic: The effects were really nice and fitted well to the video's atmosphere. The CC was the main part of the video's feeling. Those camera angles were nicely done.

It's obvious, my vote goes to Promagic

3-0. Congratulations Promagic!

Post by: Determined on November 29, 2012, 10:54:55 AM: Promagic: Pretty solid entry, loved the colors & the effects you chose. The one downside was the way you showed the stunts, it felt a bit hard to follow with the somewhat inappropriate angle cuts, while fitting to the song, they did not quite fit with the exposure element (except for the last stunt). Other than that, it was really well done, loved the effects you chose, the smooth pan/crop movements & the intro what with the very well tailored stop effects, I also liked the way you made use of artbeats (except for that outro, but I'm quite sure you didn't really want to make any focus with that, just a silly nonsensical thing), they were really well blended & looked simply fantastic with the other effects accompanying them. Overall really great entry.

Dave: You did a better job at showing the stunts, however, the vid just felt way too random & unorganized. The colors were way too soft & sweet for the song you chose & most of the effects felt like random out of place colors that didn't really serve a purpose for the vid, they just didn't make a proper connection to the beats, I don't think the song you chose was a really good idea to begin with. The last stunt had by far the most solid editing, as the effects did feel somewhat more streamlined & you made some nice uses of the artbeats, but other than that, it just felt way too chaotic to be enjoyable.

Vote goes to Promagic!
