stuntingwise, rainbow's boost, samurai's naval base grind (man, yu no prec that), everything that had "double" and "sorcery" in its description, and edgar's skimmerbump stood out for me.

editingwise, i didn't like CC at all, it was kinda dull IMO. those weird pan/crops weren't my taste either. work on those two :ajaja:
although, editing was not bad, i'd give it 6,5 out of 10.

enjoyable vido.

Editing was freakin' sweet! I loved it. Samurai had the best stunts here, great to see you kicking some butts again Sam.

Awesome video, guys! I liked opener, samurai's nat to ledgegrind at san fiero's naval base and sheikah's double grind in vc (damn man you got really lucky with that ledgegrind :D )

Collab filled with style to say the least. Guys like Arnax, Ohki, Max and Sorcery stood out to me. Editing was really nice and shiny but VC video's do work with less glow n effects but still it was enjoyable.

Shoutout to Ohki for still kicking it.  :ajaja:

Awesome, really liked it, good job on the edit too :)
Liked every stunt in here, some really sexy ones and great ideas from everyone!
NICE, thx for invitation :P

First huge thanks to everyone who sent for any of the 3 vids. Also thanks to gdl and determined for editing them. My faves were Sorcery's double stoppie combo, Sam's bump to grind in sf, and Arnax's comet p2b.

@Rainbow: I did tell ya to send the firetruck stunts.
@Turok: Yup it was a total fluke  :lol:

I can get behind the pan/crops as they really did need some fine tuning, but I have to disagree with you on the colors, it's purely subjective, but I'll state my reasons for them. The colors are meant to be a bit dull, because, even though the song is quite energetic, it is also quite a sad song & I tried to complement that emotion with the colors on top of the energy it produces, so for me, saying that the colors were dull, is kind of a compliment, I guess it's a matter of taste & interpretation. Thanks for the feed back though, I'll try to cut it out with the pan/crop in the future, I usually try to use it very subtly, but I just felt the need to complement those riffs with 'em & I went a bit overboard, especially on Max's & Edga's stunts.

There are barely any effects though, the ones that are there were intended to bring out the catharsis of the song, the high point, if you will, since none of the previous beats were really accentuated I felt it'd really feel relieving & satisfying for the viewer to make that culmination using the effects. I guess it didn't translate that well, I probably overdid it, my apologies, I'll try to conceive that better in the future. Also, the colors didn't have any glow, so either you're referring to the effects, or I'm getting something wrong here. Nonetheless, thanks for your input, criticism is always much appreciated.

Thanks to everyone else who enjoyed the vid & thanks to sheikah for letting me put it all together for him, I had tons of fun editing it under the song he chose & I feel I improved a lot, especially in angles/recording stuff, I had recorded around 300 raw angles weighing around 250 gb & from which I selected the best ones (final result was around 100gb), I picked the ones I felt complemented the stunts & the song the most, I did a lot of experimenting with them & I'm quite satisfied with the outcome.

Also, I fucking loved everyone's stuff in this, it's been a while since such a solid collab has been made with minimal amount of filler stunts, big props to sheikah for finding such unique & creative minds for this one!

Stop apologizing and make videos you enjoy, if the feedback being thrown at you is nothing but negative nitpicks then you better not listen to them unless you're 110% convinced. The video was beautifully well-done and atmospheric, you fixed your pacing a ton which was a big big improvement for me, at this very stage you nailed this style of editing but this is rather very interesting for me because.. one very inspirational member of this community once told me that all editors reach the point where they know how to edit well but then from that point, some start to stand out and some just keep doing what they do.

The only thing thats missing from your videos is that nothing grabs my attention, there isn't anything interesting happening it's very static and predictable (technically), as a viewer I want something non-linear. There are a lot of stunts in this video that'd have benefited a TON with a couple of angle switches in combination with the effects you already had there. Think of it as a lengthy dialogue scene in a movie, you'd hate your life if it was simply a one angle scene (of course theres an exception to every rule). Theres a lot of notes I'd like to add but we could talk about that later, main point is that you're a good editor now, look at everything available in the editing scene and figure out a way to stand out, give everyone a reason to talk about your video and share it just for its editing. This is the point where you go big or go home  :cc_detective:

Knowing how much I usually record I really should've utilized more of that footage, however I couldn't find very appropriate moments to do so for this song, another aspect was the length, which pretty much limited me to show every stunt once, though I still could've made cuts without altering the timeline of the stunt. I have another project coming up, which uses around the same amount of time for the song, but has almost halved amount of stunts for it, I'm definitely gonna go for a more dynamic approach on that one! Thanks for the feedback & the motivation/inspiration!  :wub:

Samurai's stunts were great. There were some really nice stunts such as Rainbow's boost as well.

I have to point out that the song deserved more effects than this absolutely clean editing imo.

Cool vid. Sorcery, Samurai and Seikah had the best stunts.

Stunting wise it was pretty mediocre I would say, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. GJ guys :happy:

Post by: Samurai on August 05, 2013, 07:33:25 AM

Glad ppl seem to enjoy the video as I did.

Was happy to send some dusty reps i had lying around to Herb. Was really surprised that i got the last stunt! (was a leftover from TFC   :mellow: )

Cool to see some stuntage from all the others.

I think you did a great job Determined. Sure i could quibble but you're definitely improving and more importantly you want to elevate the process and progress as you are aptly named.

Keep asking yourself, how can i make this better, and if you feel it works in your guts or doesn't.  Cheers ;)

Awesome video guys, both editing and stunting. Stunts were top quality all the way round, not really any standouts just a great collective effort here.

Editing was superb in my opinion, good flow , good feeling and very good cam angles, good job man.

Post by: Rust on August 05, 2013, 09:07:07 PM

Just what MM said. And Determined, were you trying something new with those pan/crops mixed to "far-away" angles? :P

Title: Re: Depths 3
Post by: Determined on August 06, 2013, 07:43:32 AM

Thanks to Mikey & Sam for the kind words, glad you guys dug this approach  :wub:

And FD, pan/crops have always been a thing I do, it's especially apparent in Crankshaft 2, but the far angles were kind of an experiment, as I never really did such angles before & I think they worked out great, especially for big air stunts, they just seem to have that charm to them, I'll definitely be using more variety of angles in the future.

What the fuck, I can't believe I missed it. Loved almost all the stuff, Ohki and Sorcerer had the most amazing stuff, also loved Rainbow's boost!

Special thanks to Sheikah for inviting me along with these amazing people.  :wub:

I liked song and editing much better than in Depths 2. I liked cam angels and color correction were beautiful.
