Great job with the edit man . The transition between the two CC's as well as those red flash like sections in the intense parts of the song really worked for me. Really dig the song and I think you done it justice here . Cam angles were also great to  .

The stunts...lets put it this way, you're newish, you have a fresh mind and you are finding good ideas, you're just missing out on a lot of things. For example; 0:42 - your reason for using a packer to get onto 2 wheels in a taxi? and what exactly does that add to the stunt?  ,  1:11 - there's another grind down there man! Lean forward at the last second before your airgrab and I bet you could have forced your bike onto a double grind, that would have been fresh. 2:42 - Again, the grind!

You do have a lot of potential, just push yourself rather than settling for your first idea  .

this song is used 5th time for now
editing was pretty nice, but aint beating stranger's editing to same song (his best of)
didn't like pan crop work at all tbh

stuntingwise - keep improving, you have potential

[Determined]

I should really watch more vids...
Damn

Thanks for the input, the whole vid is one big pan/crop, but I guess you're talking about the breakdown parts, I'll try to work on improving those.

Just a mix of what Art & MikeyMouse said. Awesome work Determ and Kich, well done, it got better than expected

e/ lol at the "Kitch" text at intro

2:16 goes for the most random stunt of the year so far.

Didn't quite like the editing, could seldom see a thing on some stunts.

The effects were nice editing wise but I found the camera angles to be kind of static and boring. And camera angles are still what makes a good video for me atleast. Nice video though but yea 2:16 and the taxi slider to boost? I would get it if you were actually 2 wheeling the taxi but just just slid down the road. D:

[Determined]

Totally agree about angles playing the main role in video production. For some reason I felt that for this specific song, more static & tame angles would fit better than dynamic ones, guess it was an error on my part then. Appreciate your input!

Why I'm always losing some spots when I'm try to watch some stunt videos.

Thank you for editing it Determined

[Determined]

Any time!

I'd like to stress this post in particular. The video clearly shows potential as mentioned before, but the editing was very vague. We see a lot of "good" edited videos which have nice effects which are nicely synced to the music. However, the editing mostly does not show the true potential or awesomeness of the stunt.

The same applies here. The effects in itself were cool, but they didn't made me go from "oh nice stunt" to "holy motherfucking shit". Concerning the stunt at 2:16; I was busy trying to see what was happening rather than enjoying what was happening. After a couple of checks I can only say it appears to be a ledgegrind. A bit of Freeplay use at this part, showing the bike approaching its ending (atleast in this shot, it ends near the pole of the trainway, which would be a nice point to 'film' from). It would show a lot more of the stunt. All in all the editing wasn't bad, but it could've been more suited to the stunts.

On to the stunts, the proper reason to watch these videos IMO: there were some very cool ideas and it's clear you have a lot of potential. As MikeyMouse said earlier, don't settle for random shit you think looks good. The grind2grab with the stuck Infernus (as mentioned by him) is an excellent example. The grind 2 Infernus 'bump' grind would have been a nice stunt and with a little more runup (aka position the Infernus a little bit back) would've insured you'd make the grind. Look at spots and think "Hmm, what's the craziest thing I could do here?"

TL;DR: Cool video, much potential in stunting but aim high, editing OK but needs a bit of work, but all in all enjoyable nonetheless.

Pretty fucking sweet editing there, D!
Stunting was nice too.

It was a ghost grind, meaning he jumped off & the bike did the rest of the trick, alas why the camera stopped following. I fully understand what you mean with editing complementing stunting & not the other way around, however, from time to time I like to experiment & move out of my comfort zone, just to see what works & what doesn't, pretty much all of my vids are clean & easy to follow as well as aimed to accentuate the actual stunting going on, but every once in a while I do some off-centered stuff just for my own improvement.
Thanks for the review, I always appreciate constructive criticism, I see now that I need to work on my angle choice & add some more variety if I'm going to go for a more effect-driven vid, gonna try to work on that whenever I get the chance.
