Man, i've watched this 20 times today and every time feels like the first.
There's something special about this video, and you guys were really underrated.
Not that i thought you were crap on anything but i had no idea you were stunting on this level.
I guess we all learned a lesson from this.

You're exactly the kind of person I hate. You couldn't appreciate something that wasn't made by you even if you were payed. And I'm not talking about just this video, you complain and give bad feedback to almost every video. If you don't like the video, how about you give some constructive criticism, or say what you didn't like about the video and how it could be better you asshole

This is why I didn't like this video very much.

Title: The title makes me think that you guys are complaining that you're not appreciated ehough. Which is lame.

Music: Intro music was fine, went along with the batman theme, or whatever. I was disappointed by the main song. I used this song awhile ago, and I feel like I did a better job with it. Credits music was fine.

Intro: It was neat up until the part when bad video comments started to show. This reminded me of abolition, only in abolition they used positive comments from their past video releases, it was nice, unlike this. Why would you show bad comments? That dampens the mood.

Editing: Ok. Some synchs were there, but you used too many effects to point out synchs some were overwhelming. Examples; 1:09, 1:21, 1:43,1:50-1:52,etc. other times you used transition effects when there wasn't a need for them. Examples; 1:29, 1:47, 1:55, etc.

You used some inverting color fades when a regular fade would've done better. A regular fade would've done better, because the transition wouldn't be so dark. When you use a dark tranisition inbwetween 2 light clips it doesn't look good and is distracting. The only time it will look good is when the song fades into a slow part and fades out of a slow part.

Too much camera shake. Camera shake should accencuate synchs. These intense camera shakes are too much, and it's hard to concentrate on the stunt. I know it's been used in lots of other vids, but that doesn't mean it's good.

You used some type of swiping light effect to synch when you could have easily just cut from one stunt to another. Examples; 1:35, 2:26.

Zooming in. You used a quick zoom in and pull back effect for many synchs, this is annyoing. You don't need such a harsh effect to synch. Remember to accentuate the synch, don't overwhelm it.

Consistancy. If a you use a certain effect on a certain word in the song, use that same effect on the same word throughout the song. Same with the beat in the song.

3:00 - 3:26. typical. rough/hateful part of song and you use red, but you didn't keep it consistent. The beginning of the rough part isn't red, and the tv simulator effect didn't look good, maybe if you had used a different color other than gray, and had the simulator effect fade fade into the clip it would've looked better.

3:26 - 3:40. This was nice, it matched that part of the song, and the effect used was good. I think it could be improved upon in the future though. If you cut out the taxi from the effect and only have the background being delayed, I think it would look much better.

3:41 - 3:44. Way to mess up a nice slow part of the song =/ You just do a cut (very short fade) when a slow part is going. You should have faded inbetween the clips slower, even though it would've been better to just have the taxi stunt during the entire slow part.

Some camera angles couldv'e been better.

Other stuff: Your bike skins suck. Don't use blank white for anything, cause it looks blank, dull and stupid.

I'm not saying anything about the stunts.

I didn't like this video very much as a whole, then I see eveybody saying it's great, 10/10, but I don't get it, cause I didn't think it was anything special, just another collab. I post stating my opinion, and then brandon tells me off.

Damn, brandon, you are such a dork. I don't comment on many videos, and when I do comment on videos, I usually just say good video, or that I liked it. The last 2 videos, other than this one, which I said I didn't like were Core and Deviate. I don't like to write full reviews, I don't like to write pointless comments, like " nice stunt, good music, good editing" I'd rather just say I liked it or didn't like it. If someone wants to me to say why I did or didn't like it then they would just have to quote my post and say "Mind saying why?" And I would do a short summary of why I didn't like it.

That is one heluva read. To an extent, finallight has picked apart the editing to a point where you're surprised Daffy missed it I don't think the editor of this video will mind much because the stunting is what matters most. What makes a great video is the perfect blend of stunts, music and editing. If finallight doesn't like it, fair enough. He gave very detailed criticisms and I applaud him for it. Couple of points that final raised I do agree with (like the negative title and the weird negative comments too at end of intro - you trying to guilt trip us? Like watching one of those starving kiddies in Africa commercials).

brandon, you're getting warned for flying off the handle to final. You were out of line, and final wasn't (although final, you should have perhaps tried to provide in your original post your criticisms).
