SAN ANDREAS COMMUNITY VIDEO 2019/2020 - A GRAND OCCASION

[Sheep]

why Mistakeys' stunt was in the outro, but some crappy ones were in the main video.

His stunt is old by me from stunt league and some anonymous french guy from Parangon.

[FTO]

It's a great pleasure to see so many VC and SA, old and new stunters and most importantly, players from all over the world rocking at the same time. All credits to Nem for organizing this and PM for finishing the production fast yet subtly.

/5

[NEM]

Thank you again for the awesome comments and the full review Erney I'm glad some of you liked my stunt as that was something I thought I'd never land but somehow managed to land it the same day Promagic landed his double grind

I was just wondering how you wanted to land that tree from there naturally Erney?

ALSO BIG THANKS FOR OVER 1000 VIEWS IN JUST 3 DAYS

Overall:
 Glad to be part of it, good job Nem and Bromagic for making this happen

[jakuba]

Sunset gang. Nice colors.

[grescha]

Great stuff guys and amazing to see so many veterans in the same vid, feeling a bit nostalgic for sure! Cudos to Promagic and Nem for pushing for this to happen, and wished I had more free time to actually land something myself. All the best mates 

[Diaz]

Grand video in every possible way. Thank you Nem and PM for the organization and editing, you have made another huge project happen. It was really cool to see so many names in such a big video. Stuntingwise I expected more to be honest, but I fully understand and also agree that this video is more about the community and the large amount of stunters.

Stunting: so many stunts to pick from, but some of my favourites are:
- Daksad opener
- Kacknase huge infy dropbump to parking lot
- Reynolds natbump2bbprec, simple yet great one
- Avi infy dropbump to bad-angle roof, I know it's an old spot, good to see it landed
- Nem packer runup 2 bump 2 treeprec, another old spot, that runup is worse than it looks, good job landing this
- Scavenger precision at the countryside, never seen that prec landed, good find
- Lex bandito madness, looks sexy as hell
- Ozzarnik dumper action, very creative
- krs infy curbbump2island, classic krs stunt
- Przemoo watergap with the heli bonk, totally unexpected, liked it a lot
- Maxpower grindcombo at the SF construction site, adding that grind to the otherwise old stunt was a nice find
- morbidxxx jump2bump2bbgrind, amazing use of the terrain, one of my fav stunts in the video
- Raekwon jump on the hill to the pylon; had the spot for years, came relatively close, I should've kept trying that one.. it's good to see this landed, good job
- Erwin grind2wheelie2grind, nice combo
- Biel mtb triplegrind, however the whole combo felt a bit slow for me. Perhaps it's not possible to do it faster - still, a great find
- Gesior7 mtb stunt, I just love stunts that contain a kind of recoil
- Mehmet LV desert pylon landing - this has to be my fav stunt from the video, the stunt looks so vertical and tight and you even managed to land the upper precision. I didn't like the editing on this one, would love to this trick from different angles. Also, you showed once again why you are one of my fav stunters 
- Sport squalo finisher, that was crazy high for a boat stunt

Editing: very very enjoyable, those transitions were so great to watch. I also liked the idea of the 3 different times of the day (morning - day - night), the same idea was used in Jackob's NIHIL with 3 different editors as well. Both videos turned out great  Also, merging the opener stunts with the story was brilliant, too!

Scripting/story: first of all good job Biel, I think the scripting was fine and it made the video even better. Using JC's infernus stunt to wake up Promagic was funny and clever. I'm glad he managed to wake up in time for this community meeting! The idea of showing little parts of this story between the stunting parts was cool and it made the video enjoyable. It also created the community video feeling for me, the video became a whole with these scenes (plus voice acting). The story itself was entertaining and symbolic; a lot of us got together in a stunting-themed park to celebrate and have fun, I wish we could hold stunter gatherings like this in real life. It was especially touching knowing we couldn't even get together like this in real life now in the time of this pandemic. So these scenes really made me feel that I'm part of this community, which is the main goal of this video in my opinion, so I really appreciate this part of the video, because a community video is really not about the stunting only.

All in all a great project, good job everyone involved, and I hope it's not the last one.

[Lex]

I'll drop my review later

[Omma!]

Alright really a fantastic video and probably the best community one imo along with Hachiro & Friends video.
I'm sorry but i cant be arsed to do a full review so I will just point out what I liked in the vid while watching it
1.46: Daksad wallride to grind: Really nice and good looking
2.17 Plani faggio double grind: This one doesnt seems to hard but it looks really good imo, unusual to see people stunting with faggio, props for that!
2.26 Salyin double grind: The velocity of the whole combo make it look really good
3.08 Really good looking transition there
3.34 Another good transition, must have been annyoing to get it correctly
4.17 Good looking transition aswell on this one!
4.26-4.43: Really good to see GDL and Balsam in a video once again. Pretty stunts!
Interlude: Well done on the interlude, im not into scripting but it seems like there have been alot of work on this one and on the whole video actually. Always loved this Jurassic 5 song, actually tought you would edit to it 
7.04: Raekwon Skatepark ramp to bb grind: Would have been sick to double grind, still a great stunt!
7.49: PM double grind: Good looking combo, judging by your YT video shouldnt have been to hard
7.58: Nem packer to tree: Great new way of nailing that tree, would've been good to see this from another angle.
8.04: Scavenger preci: The stunt itself is probably not too hard but I really liked this one as it look fresh and pretty much oldschoolish
8.19: Classical Jeff stunt, great looking combo.
8.25: Lex: This is one of the stunt i got more impressed in the whole video, really nice find and land, gj mate!
9.13: OzZarnik: I dont know, this one looked so good for me, nice idea having dumper to give you speed. Landing the top would make for sure this stunt look better.
10.08: Bart barrack bump: I love you, one of the best in the video imo. I tried this myself and always wanted to see this roof landed with barrack.
11.30: Kai grab: Totally didn't expect this one. Good looking one, giving also credit to PM for the great transition from the interlude to this
11.43: FTO BB grind: Dunno if this one is actually old but it appeal to me alot, good execution!
11.49: Nice transition
12.07: Nice FX along the "the stars" from the song!
12.24: The transition here is fantastic, best of the vid imo.
12.25: SyperDimon: Nice!
13.13: Raekwon Eletricpole landing: Just sick bro, nice colors on the editing aswell!
14.01: Erwin double grind: Smooth and good looking combo
14.06: Biel MTB triple grind: Never noticed those 3 balconys, great find and execution!
14.33: Mehmet Eletricpole landing: Totally unexpected, really nice land!
15.09: NICE TRANSITION
15.25: NICE TRANSITION
15.27: Sport squalo stunt: Fantastic one mate, really great find and land, never noticed you could get more speed on this wall. Nice way to finish the video!

Overall like a said a fantastic video, I really think everyone did a good job, I just pointed out my favorite stunts but that doesnt mean the other one weren't good.
I find it fantastic that this community after more than 15 years is still active on finding new way for nailing all those stunts in the SA engine.
Kudos to PM for the fast and clean editing. I expecially liked the third part because of the song and expecially for the colors (they looked kinda fresh compared to your other SA videos). Overall you did an epic job!
Also big props to Nem for organizing once again a great collab in a GTA video

A Grand Occasion - San Andreas community video review by:[/u]
Editing:
I felt happy watching this thanks to the music selection and interludes, well done Promagic and team. The transitions in the video were nice with all the masking and all, can't imagine how much work a 19 minute video is.

Thanks so much everyone! I love reading comments!
Just for the record, the community video folder (including the footage, renders, etc.) had around 500GB, but I think that many editors out here are used to such sizes. If I hadn't used Lagarith codec with Dxtory, it would've been much bigger.

Sometimes, I spent the whole day only making one transition or fixing SA, which kept crashing when trying out various graphic mods (in the end, half of them didn't work anyway ). Not even talking about my PC freezing every few minutes, because it's ancient.

The worst though, was my demotivation. In the last few years, whenever I started editing a stunt video, it almost always ended up in trash, because I just said fuck it. I didn't feel it anymore. But this time, Nem was a 'powerhouse' for me, who kept cheering me up when I felt like shit and gave me ideas when I ran out of them. Of course, we also argued a lot, because we were calling all the time and when I recorded a stunt from certain angle, he wanted a different one, but we always found a common way.

On 31st, I woke up looking at the final render (which was supposed to take 7 hours), it was 99%, I was really happy, because the only task left was to upload it and I still had plenty of time. When it reached 100%, the render went again from 0%. I didn't realize it's two-pass, so I had to wait 7 more hours, but luckily I made it in time.

P.S. This process taught me the most so far since I've been a part of this community and I'll try to make a few more videos.

[Jason]

https://youtu.be/yCShxRpFIZ8



Bit late but Nem bugged me to make one lol

[NEM]

Thank you a bunch Jason! I really missed a reaction from you on this one and despite the fact SA isn't really your domain, I'm glad you finally watched it! even though there's some SA videos with you . All I can say is - I hope you had a good time at the toilet!

Also huge thanks goes to Artifex & Ktulu for the reviews, I love how specific you were even somehow about the stunts that didnt really stand out, thank you for that I really had fun reading through it

can't imagine how much work a 19 minute video is.

I think it took us about 2 weeks, we called on discord throughout the whole thing and discussed everything together, but if you take organizing, texting people, searching for people into account, it'd probably be so much that I don't even wanna start counting lol

[kaneda]

Let me just preface this by saying that San Andreas stunting isn't really my thing. It just never got its hooks in like VC stunting did. That being said, I can still appreciate the style, grace and skill of any stunt, regardless of venue.

And...wow! There are so many aspects of this vid that scream 'community'. And for a vid like this, that's the most important part. So many contributors with so many differing styles. I'm not incredibly well-versed in the new and the old (in regards to individual contributors) but I'm guessing A Grand Occasion has a nice mix of newer guys and more seasoned veterans. There's  a healthy mix of both old school stunt techniques and more recent innovations - which is what I love to see. There was also a surprising lack of stunts utilizing RAD's - not that I'm knocking that technique, but it's lovely to see that not all stunts need to be about 'how high' or 'how far' - simpler stunts are often much more effective. Not having a great deal of experience in SA, I guess it's the hotspot for delectable combo stunts, because they were really on display here. I'm exhausted landing a single stunt! Here we had two, three or more in a long string. And stunts, stunts, stunts! I don't know that I've seen so many and this well-packaged.

Onto that - editing. I absolutely love it when a group of inspired people get together and pool their resources/knowledge to package a vid in a fun and creative way. The coding really makes me wish I'd dabbled more in SA in that regard. So much on screen, so much to keep track - I'm imagining the headaches, but the result elevates the content. Icing on the cake is incorporating that stuff into the stunts. The editing is also simply fantastic. The handoffs between stunts just keep that energy thumping and make the vid so damn watchable, and certainly rewatchable - always the sign of a great vid.

Considering that SA stunting doesn't appeal to me in the same way VC stunting does, I was hooked on A Grand Occasion from beginning to end. A great community video with emphasis on 'community', something I thought was beginning to be buried under the weight of prestige.
