Allright, it's about time I review this. (Thanks WW
)
Let me first say something about the smoothness of the vid.
The whole package is sooo slick, from the sound-editing to track-selection, cam-angles (few exceptions) and transitions between stunts, it all comes together beautifully.
Music:MAX PAYNE!!!! nuff said....
It's getting pretty clear by now I don't like rock music
.
I'm very open minded though and I really appreciate the interest shown in the track-selection. (weird sentence, lemme clarify: )
The 2 tracks in the main-part are chosen so well, first time I saw it I couldn't clearly tell if it were truely 2 songs or one song cut in two sections. Similar tempo and in the same keyzone. The first track really 'lifted' the 2nd track if you know what I mean.
Stunts:Not much to complain here.
I haven't seen alot of GVT vids, so most material in the first part was still fresh. Some looked a bit fillerish to me, but I don't mind. It's part of the 'revolution' of GVT.
A few
highlights (or as Pep would say: 'A+ moments'):
3:31 - WEREWOLF: that lil wallride at the end... hua!
4:40 - Atomic Tom: did you land that polebump to grind properly?
5:18 - WEREWOLF: p2b in LC.... freaking high
6:00 - Alexey89: cork to billboard.
6:29 - DeLuxxe: props for the camera-work.
7:01 - DeLuxxe: p2b in VC... even higher (?)
7:34 - WEREWOLF: bike-grabtransfer, props to KillTheKing, great spot.
7:44 - WEREWOLF: that bump is a bitch. I tried it once to complete an annoying challenge and it took me alot of time to figure it out. Consider yourself skilled or very lucky to gain that much height off of it. GJ!
Editing:What can I say...
Transitions were smooth, timing and synching was spot on.
Effects contributed, didn't disturb me at all. The interlude worked really well, it didn't delay the vid one bit, infact: I was even more thrilled to see what was coming next.
But what I really liked was the tv.. hearing a low-quality sound switching to normal when 'entering' the vid. Things like that contribute to this being a classic. (That's what I was talking about when I named this one along with 'Quattro' and 'Where I Belong')
I stopped rating vids some time ago. It gets thrown out of perspective by ppl not rating vids below 8/10.
I enjoy watching it still....
Last post by me this year...
Happy 2006 y'all!!!!!
