I'd Rather Be Surfing

[Omni]

A pretty cool vid guys.

Stunts: This, sadly was where the vid lacked, a few of the car stunts were awesome but TBH car stunting is a very easy concept and only smooth landings after many flips rock in my book..Stuill some awesome car stunts. Bike stunts were also a bit poor, there was some ok accidental grinds or rail spins? but they were mostly flukily done or done kinda poorly. For some of the car stunts i willg ive this 5/10.

Editing: This is where the vid had a bonus..there was some great editing done here, a cool intro and mainly good main editing..although some effects..the breaking up of the screen into 3rds for example, despite being synched was distracting and i found it annoying. Overall in the editing, there was sweeet stuff and some annoying stuff. 7/10.

Music:I myself enjoy a bit of MJ as his music is quite funky..but that remix, sorry to say to the author sucked, there was some annoying sounds in the intro to it..and where you edited between clips quickly on a bass drum roll sounded really odd. So 6/10.

Overall, an enjoyable vid to watch but nothing special in my eyes. Shame its your last cus i waould love to see you improve. 6.3/10.

[span style=\'color:red\']Well from all the positive feedback i was realy expecting better, don't get me wrong the video was great and it is definately a keeper, but i just think rating it 10/10 because if the variety is pretty strange.

Variety, 10/10
Music, 6.510
(like i always say, don't take any notice because music that you use is just purely whether or not you are into it or not, so this isn't important)
Stunts, 8/10 TBH, they did lack a little quality and end results, like sliding off the roof instead of landing on the roof.
Editing, 10/10 truely amazing right? aren't they looking for an editor for the community video?

Overall 8.9/10, i have rated quite a few videos this, because 8 seems to low and 9 seems a little high, so will stick with a 8.9, so great video, keep 'em coming and i will be happy for the rest of my days. cool video man.[/span]

Not trying to be annoying or anything but Brainkiller you just gave them a 10/10 for variety...to me that makes no sense..there were no plane stunts, quad stunts, no PBs or taxi stunts. Sorry again for nitpicking but some reviewers are just saying 10/10 for things that can't possibly be 10/10.

Editing:
I really did not like it. Too much "Fading a clip over just before getting stuck on the rail or fall off the roof!".
Couldn't find so much synching either. That "3-part-black" dissappearing effect was annoying, could've been good one time, not like five times. The outro was the good part, I liked those golden effects on the stillmotion frames.
2/10


Music:
Definately not my type of music. 2/10

Stunts:
I did expect alot better stunts, most of them were boring car stunts that didn't look planned. Too much "stuck-on-rail" and many old stunts. I liked about 3 stunts, the rest were boring in my opinion.
There wasn't much variety on the stunts.
3.7/10


So, you guys did a good job, but I didn't like it. I'm sure other people will like it, but I don't. I hope you'll create another vid, with better stunts and maybe some better editing to show us in the future.
3.4/10

I agree with Marky on that one! Oh and Marklund, When will you rate Deceived FFs?

[marklund]

Shit, I forgot. I'll see if I got it on this HDD.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I appeciate it.

If car stunts are so easy... then why have I only seen like 1-2 per vid? I think bikes are a synch. I chose to do more car stunts in this video because, in San Andreas Rockstar changed that way cars move. You can now control them like bikes, and darkslides are now possible.

Darkslide: Ride up a ramp and roll your car upside down. Hit the fence on a slight angle. You'll notice that the top of the car will clip into the fence, and oh noes! a door will magicly dissapear. That means you should be locked in until you start to slow down, or you hit something.

I knew stunts is where why my video would stray from this crowd. Remember, I don't think "who can get on top of that building" is even insteresting. I've done several of them, and think to myself... this is boring as hell. So I spend all my time trying to find things that are just around. Old School stuff.

Look here, we are trying to make hard stunts here, not easy ones. And as you said, car stunts is easy, and therefore we do not make them often. Taxis is ok, because there's much more things to do with them. (They can wall-climb.)

I hate that Rockstar Games did that, now the cars isn't fun at all.

Im not interested in them so much either, but, they are good if they come with combos, like "p2b2krail2grind2roof". [p2b = Packer to Bump]

I appreciate your point and it was an enjoyable vid dude. But people don't use many car stunts..(check my vids, there is always one) because of this easiness...It may look boring to launch high onto a roof with a bike, but its difficult and shows you have great skill in the hard aspects of stunting unlike car stunting which i find very easy.  I could probably make a car stunt movie with "good" car stunts in around 3 days with the editing also.

[span style=\'color:red\']Yes i did, but compare it to lets say...flight gear,XXL....then maybe you would give it 10/10. it has a LOT more variety than many many videos and most videos at that. So that is why i gave it 10/10. Their could have been more, but when you think of it that way then you think maybe it should be around 7/10 but i have not yet seen a video that uses every vehicle in their video so i think it will stick by the 10/10 for variety k?[/span]

10/10 is perfect..I'm not even sure any vid has had a perfect variety of stunts.

So, you want to do hard stunts?

... and car stunts are easy, but you hate that rockstar actually made them a little controllable so you do more complex stunts?

That doesn't make sense.




@Omni - This isn't a contest. I only want people to be entertained by my video. I don't care that I didn't put and boring packer bumps into my video,    They're not hard to fly down the street with ghosttown on, on a bike, and hit the last strut and go flying. I've even been doing things like that since day 1 in Vice City. Whenever I did them in San Andreas, they didn't make me feel like I had "great skill". I just think they're boring, and easy. Try to grind with a car, thats hard.


Only about 1/4th of my stunts at the max were accidental, but then again, everything using the Packer Bump is accidental. Everytime you hit you have a slightly different outcome, much like hitting a car.

 

[Omni]

Dude, you don't seem to understand my point..I am saying IMO i prefer harder stunts such as high Packer Bumps (Which you claim are easy)krail 2 grinds or just great innovative grinds, cool mountain bike stunts and combo stunts. I IMO do not like Car stunts, I find them way to easy to get good flips. I only put them in my vid because its variety.

Also, I'm not saying you can't do the "easy" PSBs and Packer bumps and other bumps but as they are harder and show more skill it is baffling not to see them in a stunt vid, and to see much easier stunts or flukey stunts is even more baffling :S.

I have not been "Owned" at all..he has stated he prefers to do easy car stunts, while i prefer to see and perform more complex and more challenging stunts..I have hardly been "owned".
