Anyone in the mood to write one of those really big reviews, i feel like reading something

Me! Me! Me!  


1) Intro
Wow, cool, you made a great work on it. I didn't like a lot the 3D text tho.

2) Stunts
1:00 - nice, but kinda boring now
1:09 - i don't really like such stoppie combos
1:17 - cool idea, good p2b
1:25 - cool bump, great distance
1:33 - awesome idea, really good
1:41 - fantastic stunt, too bad you landed on a roof
1:54 - hmm, strange stoppie2grind
2:00 - done by Kairos in GBVC
2:06 - cool car bump
2:14 - filler for me, looked easy
2:30 - cool grind, something like finallight did but without any rotation, however the grind was pretty short
2:38 - nice stoppie
2:47 - didn't look hard
2:54 - cool grab
3:00 - pretty average BSM
3:04 - awesome BSM2grind
3:15 - nice wallride
3:20 - haha, cool
3:35 - great car wallride
3:47 - good grab
3:51 - another BSM2grind, nice, however the bike was really close to the rail
3:56 - another great taxi stunt
4:04 - i think it was done before
4:08 - nice wallride, something like DeLuxxe did
4:12 - easy wallride, you could've grinded a little bit or at leas got to the second floor
4:17 - awesome idea, too bad you didn't stay for more time, still good
4:24 - another wallride i did, however i was trying to land on the ground level
4:31 - the "rail" is ungrindable but you could grind more, good combo idea, but bad place to try
4:38 - pretty high wallride2roof, good job
4:43 - nice PSM
4:50 - wow, i thought you were gonna land with a bike somehow(with grab maybe), but it was more like a credits stunt

3) Editing
Pretty nice, i didn't like that effect on your first BSM2grind tho

4) Music
I didn't really like it, i don't think it was good for a stunt vid, but i didn't annoy me

5) Overall
Solid vid, really creative stuff, i couldn't even thought of some stunts. Good job on the vid.

Thanks man i feel better now . I really do appreciate the reviews, from everyone, thank you

------------------

I call this, "Directors Commentry" Part 1 (STUNTS) (my thoughts, post release, regarding the stunts):

1:33 - Man this one took a long time, it was one of those annoying stunts , i managed to do a massive bump 'over' the billboard and onto the roof numerous times, and yet somehow it took ages to merely land 'on' the billboard, lol.

1:41 - I wanted to land on the roof because i thought it'd be a cool stunt (nice wallclimb + big distance + precision landing on small roof = cool ). But the problem was, after many tries, whenever i hit the roof i couldnt stop quickly enough and just slid right off - then i came up with the helicopter idea, and it worked like a charm, i really like the stunt now .

1:55 - I beleive this was one of the last stunts i did for the vid. Just before i started recording i was looking through a text file i had written a while back with some stunt ideas, and i saw "stoppie-2-glitchedwallride" (like M3rrix had previously done in a freeway). Then, realising how cool itd be i looked around and found this spot and i thought "perfect, now i can add a grind on the end of the combo too, yay" .

2:14 - I had been wanting to do a taxi stunt where i went over the roofs of numerous buildings for a while, and i knew LC was the place to do it. Eventually i found this really good line, but upon completing it, i felt it need just a little more.... so i added a barracks and landed in it (i seem to like doing that - i did it twice in this vid, and also back in xxl).

2:30 - I had this stunt in mind for ages, and i kept trying and trying at it to get a longer grind, but it was really hard for me, so unfortunately i had to go with what i had.

2:39 - Yep, i landed in a barracks again

3:00 - This was actually gonna be a wallride-2-bsm-2-roof combo, but the only time i could do the whole combo successfully, the wallride was crap and ugly, so i cut it out and just showed the bsm

3:05 - Man i loved this stunt, i really did. One of my fav's. I completed it on the 30th of december last year. And to let the cat out of the bag, it wasnt even my inital plan with this bsm - i initially had planned to try and bsm and land on that small tower to the left of the grind... but then after a few attempts i accidently landed on the grind a fell straight off - as you can imagine from then on i abandoned the old (and crappier ) idea for this new one, the bsm2grind, and suprisingly enough it didnt take too many more tries for me to get it.

3:25 - Ever since the obsession started up again recently with hitting helicopters mid-air with vehicles I, (i) absolutely loved it, and (ii) knew that i had to do it in a tank . As i was discussing earlier in this thread, i had completed it ages ago and showed it to Kr3m - this one may have actually been the first stunt i did for this vid (i think). I beleive i may have got a new rotation record too, i will try to dig up the screenshots.

3:35 - Another one of my fav's for the vid - a very cool looking car wallride. I know the spot has been nailed many times before, but not in a car . I had no idea such a stunt was possible until i tried it - I thought it was a crazy/ridiculous idea, when it first came to me, but then i tried it, saw it was possible, and then i didnt stop till i got it.

4:05 - Some of you may have seen this one before - it was from one of Daff's VC challenges that i completed (i think i came 1st or 2nd at the time, i cant remember). I felt i had to include it because it was a pretty cool pb, and also because of the sheer lack of pb's in the video besides this one.

4:10 - Yeah a similar thing has been done before, and i must give credit to DeLuxxe because its an awesome idea - i liked it so much that i decided to do one with a sanchez in lc.

4:18 - Aaah, this little pickle, i remember trying to land this one. It initially started with me trying to land on the roof, but after not very long i realised that wasnt gonna happen so i came up with the idea of trying to land on the (difficult) helicopter tail. I think in this one i actually stayed up there for about 2 seconds before falling off.

4:25 - Another relitively short wallride, but i liked it. @Werewolf: yeah i really wanted to make it all the way to the end also, but unfortunately i just couldnt manage to do it.

4:30 - I really liked this combo, its a shame i couldnt grind any longer, but it was just so damn hard - seriously, it was hard enough to get the wallride perfect, and it was hard enough to get the stoppie perfect, and hence (as you can imagine) it was hard to get both of them perfect and then do a long grind.

4:50 - I really wanted to land that stunt, when i was attempting it i was varying between (i) trying to land it normally (and hoping for the best), and (ii) trying to do an ag/gg to stay on, but unfortunately i was unsucessfull at both, so i had to just use the best i had, which was me landing on it without the bike - oh well, i figure if there's any stunt in a vid which you can get away with having it unlanded its the last stunt.

Credit clips/stunts - Just a bunch of stuff i amassed while workin on this vid, most of which i find either amusing (such as the woman sitting on my packer) or a little 'different' (a backwards wallclimb).

-----

Now whoever said that reviews couldnt be made by the person who made the vid
Think of that as like a DVD with special features that includes directors commentry

1:41 - I wanted to land on the roof because i thought it'd be a cool stunt (nice wallclimb + big distance + precision landing on small roof = cool tongue.gif ). But the problem was, after many tries, whenever i hit the roof i couldnt stop quickly enough and just slid right off - then i came up with the helicopter idea, and it worked like a charm, i really like the stunt now cool.gif

I think you didn't get me, i was trying to say, that it would've been better if you landed on your wheels, but you landed on your zebra's roof Or, were you talking to me?

[Dannye]

I wasnt directing that at your comment, i was just saying my thoughts about the stunt in general, how i came up with it etc.

Although i must admit i wasnt sure which one (building roof or taxi roof) you meant until i thought about it for a bit. lol, whoops, my bad, hehe.

----------------------------------------

[Gekko]

downloading, from what i hear, this is going to be great.

11/10, awsome video :grin:  

[Lord Peres]

Amazing vid, I loved it.

Was like a refresh of stunting. The stunts were cool, original, difficult... The editing fantastic with a great intro (I've never watched lost but I know what it's about), good music and also cool credits part. Definitely one of the best solo's vids ever. Goes to my top10 list of stunting vids

The only "troubles" I found was some unlanded stunts and some "normal" BSMs but nothing important. This vid is fresh air for the stunting world, a must see it

Go and download it now people!  

[kaneda]

Finally...


It was definately worth the wait for this vid. I'm a huge fan of Lost, so I was immediately hooked. The intro was awesome and made good use of Moo. I liked the logo idea too, very much.

The majority of the stunts in this vid were a joy to watch. A hell of a lot of creativity and improv, and a lot of stuff I'm sure no one has ever even considered with some of the awful run ups you had to contend with. Some terrific wallrides, grinds, and bsm combos.

I quite enjoyed the music too. It's always refreshing to see someone willing to think outside the typical thumping thrash/metal genres and edit to a song they like. The credits music was great too...another tip of the hat to Lost.

Great work, dude. This is one of the most enjoyable and unique stunt vids I've seen in a while.  

[_Hiei_]

dlling man! i can't wait  

-will edit this post for the comment-

woah very fresh stunts, thic video rocked really original and the music was different from the usual kind of music used in stunt vids, i liked it tho.

and the intro was marvelous.

10/10 congraz Dannye  :grin: <

[Docta Luv]

Ok Dannye...I'll be the one to say it.  OMG HAXXORZ!!!!  You couldn't have gotten those stunts without MIND hacks  Wow...that entire video was exciting, groundbreaking, creative, basically everything good...EVER.  Great job man, I just can't put it into words.  I would go down the list and do that whole 'Rate every stunt' thing...but I'd get sick of writing

Awesome stunt
Awesome stunt
etc.

So I'll just tell you, everything was awesome.

10/10

Favorite solo stunt video?  Yes

[Dannye]

Some even more amazing comments, thanks to all you guys.

@Kaneda: Yeah LOST is a great show, i cant get enough of it.

It was nice to finally be able to put my new gta programming knowledge (that i had gained from working on the ultimate scm) to the real test - in creating a really cool intro. As soon as i got the idea to do a lost-inspired intro I loved it. I had initially wanted to do the whole intro using scm coding, but i soon realised that i couldnt do the crashed plane part (since those planes were considered part of the map) - so i had to use Moo for the placement of the crash - but the rest was still scm.

[Urban Legend]

Dannye, truely an amazing vid. 10/10

[ostin]

WER

i didn't annoy me

i too lolz
 
perhaps i'm the only one who was not so amazed and impressed by the video

*writing a review*

 

[Lord Peres]

1:33 - Man this one took a long time, it was one of those annoying stunts , i managed to do a massive bump 'over' the billboard and onto the roof numerous times, and yet somehow it took ages to merely land 'on' the billboard, lol.
 

I was trying that same one but with a freeway because the bump is easier. I arrived to the bilboard 3 times but I felt of the bike, and yeah it's very annoying. First I started trying it with the PCJ but with the freeway the bump was so much easier. I never thought somebody would have the same idea Nice job on landing it

Another time I must say that this vid really impressed me, really original
