Ostis Bigass Review on ATS - The Awakening
Edited by Aries
Stunting by Nitzkit, Aries, Neo Anderson, Dannye, Madmax, Kaneda, Night Kid, Kid A, ZeroX and Nagual.

Game: GTA Vice City

Edited in: Vegas

Intro:

The intro was a bit choppy, is it just me? The music is the thing that really fits into this intro, it really does. I could have had a fade in in the beginning, but thats just being picky. The flaming ATS letters took my breath away, that was totally brilliant. It gives a very good feeling for the rest of the video, only thing that would have made it better would have been nametags. Again, me being picky.

Main Part:

The is allways one thing that signifies a ATS video. The logo. Wether its before the beginning of the vid, or in the beginning of the main part, THAT is what the ATS feeling is, to me. The main part totally blew me away, stunting wise. Editing wise, it was great. Like it was posted by a certain Estonian guy (kert) THIS is what clean editing is. Its not that much flashes, no great new effects, its just the simple "Getting away easy and still look good". And thats great! Don't get me wrong, its not the best Ive seen. But its still just enough *umph* thats needed to bring out the stunts.

Stunts:

The stunts made me forgive you guys for being away but so close for so long. Great stuff guys, you truly must be Addicted To Stunting. THIS truly shows whats the new stuff today in VC and LC stunting. You HAVE to be creative! Its not the usual: put a packer below a ledge, and fly to the skys. No, its taken a turn. Of course, there were the normal b2grinds, and p2b2roofs, but the whole creativity really made me think: Damn, where do these guys get the ideas? And THAT my friends, is what stunting is about. The WOW factor, and the WTF factor, as I like to call it.

Stunters standouts:

Nitzkit: I have tried and tried and tried, but I can't find you doing anything that dissapoints me. That doublebump at 04:03 was 1 of the top stunts of the vid. Never would I have tought of that.

Aries: I was keeping my eyes on you the whole time. I don't know if it was the bike or your stunts, because both were making my jaw drop. Your BSM at 06:00 was maybe THE top stunt of the vid. Im glad you landed it another time (the credits stunt was obviously first landed), because the 2nd looked better to me.

Neo Anderson: Hello my radio talking friend. Seeing as I also am a Taxi enthusiast, I say that your standout stunt was the taxi stunt at 02:56. It was not maybe your coolest stunt, but I love it anyway. Thank you.

Dannye: You were the winner of the GTASL. I was thinking that you would be the guy that would give me a heart-attack with your stunts. Im here writing right now, so obviously it didn't. You had some truly amazing stuff man. Your rhino stunt at 06:10 was one of the most amazing stunts Ive seen. EVER. BUT, unfortunately there is a but. (no, Im not going to bitch about you landing upside-down). Seeing as you are the GTASL champion, you are the man now. But you didn't become the man by doing 160feet bumps, like everyone else. No, you did it by being your own guy, and finding new ways to make things awesome. Thats why you are the champion. Just tought I'd point that out, since thats what hit me when watching your stunts.

MadMax: You didn't have any stand out stunts for me, which is understandable because of your lack of time. But you had the pizzaboy and a heavy vehicle, so you still got a A- from me. Great, but not brilliant, as they say.

Kaneda: Nothing much to say, I love your stuff man, keep it up. Your wallbump2precision landing must be the most beautiful stunt Ive seen in a long time. That stunt shows what I love about stunting.

Night Kid: Your a new guy to ATS too, and you had 2 stunts in this video. I say, you have proven you can stunt. But I want to see you do even better. You did good tho, but I wasn't just as impressed as I might have been.

Kid A: You had 1 stunt in the vid, but it was killer. I would have never been able to land that when spinning like that. But then of course, I can't land a 1000 degrees spin in VC, so I might not be the right one to judge.

ZeroX: Were you away? I didn't notice it, since you kicked ass none-the-less. The last stunt of the vid, just put a warm feeling in my belly. The rest was awesome too, like the car rhinobump.

Nagual: You! You! You grind whore you! I am going to put my one and only emoticon of this review for your doublegrind:  

Stunts and Editing:

01:19 What better starter than a bigheaded alien flying around? Great bump. It could have had a angle switch, but this is just as good.
01:27 VC Car stunting is awesome, I just got to admit it. As I said, this was noice.
01:33 What are you hitting? Its a bike, but how did you get it there? Anyway, creative!
01:38 I think this was a challenge, or it was taken down I don't remember. I still love this stunt.
01:43 Cool b2grind.
01:50 Nice p2b. Nice synching too, I would have done the exact same thing.
01:57 I asked you about this on MSN, since I tought it was manually slowed down in Vegas. The slow motion made it beautiful, to be honest, and its a great bump.
02:04 High and nice p2b.
02:12 I think you could have synched this better. The bump itself is great, but the synching is off here.
02:19 What can I say? Its dannye stunting, doing something thats been there in front of our noses all along. The cam angle could have been longer away here tho. The music gave a boost to the stunt.
02:28 Nice idea, kicked plethzorbs ass I would presume.
02:36 Love the stunt, love the editing.
02:50 I can't believe guys landing the grinds like that. Its so much harder, since you allways bail. Great stunt.
03:00 Ive been thinking about ways to land that grind, didn't think of that tho. Love it.
03:08 The ATS traditional Pizzaboy stunter, Madmax showing off some mad pizza skills.
03:18 Awesome stuff, kicks ass. Good editing too, the synchs were in place.
03:26 Didn't blow me away, sorry. Nice tho, but as I said, not mind blowing.
03:31 I can't believe the airs people get from these! Fucking awesome man, hands down.
03:37 Had that in mind a couple of days ago. Its cool, and its something that makes you smile. Nice!
03:41 I mean come on. Have you ever seen something this awesome?
03:51 As I said, killer.
03:57 Awesome stunt, why hasn't anyone tought about bumping that?
04:04 Shame you bailed, I love these stunts tho. Nice cam angle too.
04:11 Something different, I like it!
04:17 Awesome. The roofer is back!
04:23 Got to admit, It was cool. I hate those grinds tho, I mean the ones that you have to grind like a ledge. Why can't they just be normal, like every other grind? Makes the stunt nicer in my eyes.
04:32 The top seems to be too cold for you, doesn't it? Its a good solid awesome stunt tho, no complaints. (Land the top!)
04:39 Im not really impressed by it, but if you promise me you had fun doing it I'll think it was great.
04:47 You actually did something I was thinking about! I nearly made it too, now someone go cork this! Awesome stunt. Don't worry about the stop, no-one cares.
05:02 Why is that stunt so blurry? If you made it as a effect, it hurts my eyes. Fucking awesome stunt tho, but I want to know what that blur is!
05:21 Stunting heavy, I see. What can I say? Great stuff.
05:29 I talked earlier about the WOW and the WTF factors. This had 100% of both. Also every good video tune has this place where it just makes the listener want to punch a wall, or just scream out. This was the spot, and the stunt was perfect for it. Fucking awesome.
05:37 After watching Aries land my favourite BSM of all time, you come and do this, you crazy australian. I love this stunt. Its just so dannye, all over it. Im gonna make a gif out of it, and have it play everytime I go into VC, just to show whats possible.
05:45 If Aries had 100% of both factors, this has 110%. THIS is what stunting is about for me. THIS, is what I and so many others bust our asses to do. I love it man.
05:51 Ive been searching for a similar stunt all week, and then you go and do something like that. You crazy,crazy grinder.
05:59 What the hell, great finisher. Thank you ZeroX.

At this point, Im going to go get some coffe.

Back, we continue:

Outro:

The outros aren't that big of a deal in a vid really. If you make a nothing much saying outro, it will not bring your vid down. On the other hand, if you make a nice outro that is pleasant to watch, it will bring the vid up. I think you did something there in the middle, because I think it could have been better, but its still nothing I just click away. Think of your outros as just separate vids, with alot more text. That will look great.

Outro Stunts:

06:15 I don't know who this is, but this must have been fun. Seems like a bitch too.
06:36 What the hell? I was thinking all the time: "Drive under it and see if it falls on you!" Would have been great comedy.
06:50 Why didn't you land it? Come on, it wasn't that hard! *backs away*
07:01 Im glad you didn't land this one, I liked the video version much better. Must have tested your nerves tho.

Editing In General:

You did great man. I know there might have been some negative remarks, but thats because this review is supposed to be picky. If it wouldn't be, there wouldn't be any point of making this review. I would just write: You rock. Great editing man. It wasn't daffy like, it wasn't tac like, it was just cool. I am going to give you a virtual high five for that one.

Music:

The intro music helped the intro out, I love Lost Prophets and The outro song didn't bust my ears either. You did good.

Overall:

Your back in action. Great stuff man. I am going to look forward seeing you stunt again, this was awesome. I couldn't think of anything else to do than to write this review for you, as a token of my appreciation. Thank you, ATS.

Stunting: 9,6/10
Editing: 9/10
Music: 9/10
Overall: 9,3/10

[Rocka]

Downloaded it yesterday... omfg, that vid was so pwnage.... I had to download it right away.... nice job everyone 10/10

[godson]

SLIM y u buggin me great vid once again

[Tackleberry]

I knew it, the old ATS is gone. This vid has not the old ATS feel to it, which I loved.  

You say that only because the name tags in the ATS vid have changed  the stunts are just as awsome and they used rock like allways so i cant see that ats feel going anywhere, ats is just ats

and as proof they got like what, 9 pages allready n counting, they pwn so much  

Now you made it look like I didn't like the vid, please read my full post (http://www.gtastunting.com/forums/index.ph...st&p=307150).

The vid was great, I loved it. I don't really know Aries, Nagual, Nightkid, Kid_A as ATS stunters (though Dannye feels like one, don't know why), still they are awesome at what they do and together they make great videos. The song was different from what ATS used to use and so the editing. I'm not saying it was bad, not at all, though this is what I meant when I say "This vid has not the old ATS feel to it".

Just to clear things up...

[Nagual]

DLING!

Edit:
Wow. The video was really great. The stunts i loved the most was Nazgul's Double grind and Aries' Bsm. Great vid ATS as usual!  

Ouch! that hurt man...

@ Tack: I get your point, stunting times change and it's impossible getting the 'vibe' of the ol' days back even with the same ppl producing the vid. Glad you liked the outcome anyway.
