Yeah Baby - VC Comm Video

[Dannye]

Thanks for the replies guys, I am glad that you liked it. I also appreciate the constructive feedback - I do see where you are coming from with the negative points, I understand completely.

I know I am often light on effects and stuff, but usually I still have a few (a few that come out naturally in the editing process), unlike this video (where nothing did come to me naturally). There certainly were spots in the songs that almost begged for something, so I did try some, but anything I did try seemed forced, and unnatural, and I couldn't pull it off without it looking worse than having nothing there at all. I suppose I'll have to leave that stuff for the more skilled editors.

About the credits, as I already said, I consider it as another act to the stunts part of the video [Why? Because I had too - I received so many great stunts, and my two main songs weren't even that long], and as such I edited stunts to its associated song in the same way I did with the 'main'. Sure, there were some there that most people would class as 'credit stunts', but there was also some ones people would normally class as 'main stunts' there too, and I am glad they are there, because they worked well there.

About cutting away from some stunts earlier than expected - yeah that's fair enough. I suppose its just a by-product of my way of editing to the music. I can say this, (assuming I am not forgetting anything) any stunts that had bails, you saw them - none of those cuts were for 'hiding' purposes, merely synching. Its not something I really notice, but I know lots of other people do - during Tandem, Brulla would let me know of certain spots where I cut earlier than I should have. Hopefully for future videos I'll get better at noticing such problems (and thus fixing them) myself.

With the fucking up of Sweet's skin, I am really sorry about that dude, I can't believe I did it, and even more can't believe I didn't pick up on it - yours is one of the relatively few skins I can recognise off the bat.

And as for the SL stunts, I am still glad I included them. The decision I made to include them was part of that complicated line I had to try and draw between: having a solid representation of the community (including old and new), having stunts fit with people's different conventions of old/new/good stunts, and creating an enjoyable stunt video. I know other people may have drawn the line differently, but I just had to come up with my own and stick to it.

Regarding the far-away camera angles, sorry dudes, this was one I wasn't expecting. I guess its because the ability to use them is kinda new, so I wasn't sure what everyone's reaction's to them would be, so I just went with my own - I liked 'em. Again, I appreciate the feedback and will definitely try to be a bit more judicious with my use of them next time.

Again, cheers for all the comments - good, bad, constructive, anything.
Thanks GTAS!
Cheers.

EDIT: By the way, I am almost at the half way mark of the upload of the currently-not-uploaded-render. I got a good feeling this time

Great, can't play .avi's, MP4 makes my PC crash and the streaming-thingy on FF is only one big thing of greyness.

[Brulla]

Haha...I sure got some detailed commenting to do.

I'll do a full review tonight.

*Hopes someone might do a template before I start doing mine*

Wow, very fast Dannye! Everyone had great stunts, though not as great as i expected, it was about the same level as in Fracture. Intro was very nice, seemed a little bit like that coca cola advert. Main editing wasn't bad but not brilliant either. The use of freeplay was nice though.

Good job!

I watched the mp4 version on Filefront. For a second I thought Dannye did a Samurai and left me out without informing me  I made the credits though so I'm pleased to have taken part. I'll upload the mp4 version to GTAS Tube page.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat.

Awesome video. I liked the whole feel of it even though I felt the first song was lacking a bit of... speed?
Dunno I just woke up like 5 minutes ago. >_>

[theonly_one]

Yeah baby were downloading yeaah!

[Deidara]

ehh,sorry dannye,but i dont like...nothing special editing,and a lot old stunts. =(

//but intro is awesome

[ofthemountain]

I loved it personally. The intro was probably the best intro I have ever seen, it was dam funny. Also, that must have taken ages, so great work on that.

I think I need to congratulate GTAS for pulling off brilliant stunts for this, I was amazed at how consistently good and original the stunts were. There was stuff that amazed me from people I hadn't heard of, as well as great stuff from the regulars around here. So well done everyone! I can't really choose favourites, there were that many good stunts. Thanks for giving me last stunt on the main part  that was unexpected!

Editing wise it reminded me of Tandem and was pretty much what I imagined from this video. Freeplay was used really well, I for one liked the far away angles every now and then. I didn't like the songs but I admit they went well with the video. I don't think the editing took away from the stunts which is the most important thing, and I also think that it's nice that people who like this style of editing (me included) get at least one community video in a bit of a different style  .

Outro kept me watching 'til the end with more awesome stunts. Great job Dannye and also to everyone in this!
