Video remixes just don't go for trials, I've seen loads of CLS ones, they are all terrible no matter how good the music is as the clips are edited to the original track.

If you are one of the few people who don't like the music, why did you upload it?, you know that lots of people like the original song, so they won't be too happy.

Kepp any edits like this to yourself, I've done this plenty of times with my own and other peoples videos, but I don't upload them.

The thing is, the original video was special because of the song and the general vibe. What you've done is re-edited it to put a completely generic metal track on it, and hence removed part of what made the video special.

You haven't killed it, you've just made it average.

Truth. The music and most of the filming and editing is what made that video such a success, just because it wasn't the usual god-awful edit that most people on here release. All the previous edits of Danny that I've seen have generally been super slow-mo, black and white, crap sound-tracks, etc. - then he gets someone who can actually film and edit to get involved with the project and it becomes almost literally world famous.

I actually uploaded it to show a couple of my mates, on the day i uploaded it. Then today i thought id post it here (even though i was 99% sure this would happen...)

Not only is what you've done absolutely appauling its a f**king insult. The video was worked on by two very passionate people who spent a lot of time getting it just how they wanted, then you come and shit on it because you'd rather have some scummy wank generic pop metal song on it. Think for a minute, does that shit music really suit Danny's riding?

It's not your right to do this and its ignorant. Get rid of it.

Mmmm...would this have such a big reaction if it wasn't Danny Mac??

The rider himself is unimportant. If anyone had released such a groundbreaking video (in the trials world) like Danny's, which had been received in 1/1000 as well as his has been world wide, and someone raped it like that it would still be completely wrong.

At the end of the day, the rider and film maker spent literally months getting all the footage together and editing it to a point where they were absolutely happy with it. For some kid to come along and mess around with it and put it to some different music is not only rather annoying but also incredibly rude.

Yeah, thats why i was asking. Do YOU really think that song represents Danny's riding.....really?

Yes, i do.

I would describe the original music as Funeral music. Not music to put to someone doing tailwhips and flairs.

Not being funny, but i liked that!! Music was awesome :turned:

HOWEVER!

It wasn't as good as the original, but respect for having a go at this :turned:

Thankyou ^_^

I don't expect people to prefer it to the original, but i expected a few people to enjoy it none the less...

Are you being ironic?

I dont think your track represented the riding at all. Metal music has no flow and is not melodic - its just repetitve and manotonous, which is why that music is suited and is often used for every TGS video...... i.e. it has no style.

Honestly, don't go in to film editing. If you cant see and hear how the audio and video fit together in the original then you shouldn't be let loose to do this again. The music isn't exactly to my taste, but for the video it is a perfect fit. The cause is more important than the personal opinion.

Thats a question of opinion. Everyone has different tastes.

Not really the same when you're dealing with edited clips. Because Dave's actually good at editing, they'll generally be cut so they'll fit one particular song, and therefore the amount of clips, the clip length and... well... everything about that video was geared towards a song that was paced like the Band Of Horses song used. You really can't just bang another song over the top, jiggle it about and expect it to work. Similarly, some music simply doesn't work with other types of riding. If someone's got a slower, smoother style, it's pretty much never going to work with a 'heavier' song, which may arguably be able to fit someone with a TGS kinda style.

I'm just going to do you a favour and close this.

If you thought you might like some advice, I'd listen to what Dave's said a few times and remove that from you-tube.

If you still don't understand, I'll put it very simply; what you have done is literally the equivalent of drawing a moustache and glasses on the Mona-Lisa with a biro. Do you expect ANYONE to thank you for doing this?

Rich

Note: I actually really like Disturbed and that track.

Edit by Tomm: You should definitely take it down. Why would you do that? : Just... Why?
