« on: August 20, 2005, 09:19:43 PM »
OK folks, this is my very first stunt video, but I think it turned out pretty well.  I'll warn you up front that I'm more interested in difficult jumps with landings that stick, rather than the "ram into a curb and see how many times you can flip around" sort of thing.  That said, I'd be interested in any feedback you have to offer.

Here's the link:  http://files.filefront.com/GTA_TheDancemov...;/fileinfo.html

The video is a ~55MB .mov file. If you're having trouble viewing it in Windows, you'll probably need QuickTime, which is available here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html

Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks -- I was really happy with that one.

Sorry, but I'm on a Mac, so I can't author .wmv files.  And QuickTime's quality-to-size ratio seems to be better than Windows Media anyway...

I had a blast watching this vid. It was one of the best 'first' stunt videos I've seen. The stunts weren't the most spectacular, but they were very good and I liked the variety of both stunts and locations. The music was a great choice and it set a good pace for the vid which you edited to very well. The fact that these stunts were recorded on the PS2 kinda surprised me. You got pretty good looking quality for PS2 stunts. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see your future vids!

Yeah, all I have is iMovie 1.0, so my options are kind of limited...

The music was a refrehing change, and worked surprisingly well, I enjoyed the variety of stunts, and the parachute bits were a good change of pace. Best bit? Parking the boat! It made me laugh, but in a good way.

My movie's been posted in several places and downloaded over 400 times now, and you two are the first to even mention the boat stunt!  That was definitely one of my favorites too -- glad you liked it.

It was an ok vid...Not much editing going on though... The stunts wwere kinda cool, some really easy, some kinda hard and original..its cool to see some parachuting :P The music was an ok choice also.

As I have now adopted Marklunds harsh rating system this gets a 5.5/10. GJ.

I am not picking on anyone here,but if someone gives this 8/10 and then compares it to lets say the recent community vid XXL wich they gave a rating of 9/10...doesn't you thought of this videos rating actually decrease..because you think the best stunters in the word made a video wich i rated 9/10 and i just rated a beginner 8/10.
