Nice to see some controversial posts here, i dont mind if you dont like it, its good to get a mix of positive and negative feedback. I agree that the beginning of the video may have too many establishing shots, and be a bit boring. But it does pick up i believe, so i prompt tra to skip to the middle and then see what he thinks.
The video was not really intended to be a "really good video to show on the forum". It was filmed to show and exploit the diversity of my company. Also it would be video to show to freinds or the public, what trials generally is.
Also i agree that sometimes i did not show the full object that seb was riding, this was intentional, to be honest seb is far from an "amazing" rider, and he is a bit sluggish, so i had spice things up a bit. Also usually the object he is riding is far from visually exciting or something you would be interested to see, why do you want to see the full object anyway? you've seen someone doing a gap millions of times before. Using the sky as a backdrop frames the shot and gives it good composition, something it appears that some of you do not appreciate. If you like to just see the riding for what it is thats fine, just watch some of our old videos and you will see how boring it really is. If i was filming someone like Tra, Vincent or Craig Lee Scott i would definately use more "conventional" angles, but in the situation i was in i did my best.
It appears the video is like marmite, you either love it, or you hate it :blink:
ps: simon, which bits did you think were shakey?
