bikeperson45 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I think that really the quality of the video comes down to the riding but it can almost be made up for good editing and song choice. I'm not really to sure myself, I've made one and am planning on doing another in the summer, but have never edited anything before. Also I hate not being the one filming, as in I'd like to be the one filming myself. Sorry this hasn't really answer much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in my signature. One thing you can learn from it is don't be cheap and buy editing software so you don't have a stupid watermark in it. And if fisheye was a person I would murder it.

Ashes Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 avoid cliches Are you still selling the camera with the fish eye lens keeping in mind i have a limited cash at the moment. And im definately writing down that advice. Thanks. Ashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 sarcasm fail. watch videos that are popular, lie in the title of your video (suggest your doing massive TGS moves regardless of your ability) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheye's really should be avoided unless you're trying to be Danny Swindlehurst (if you are trying that, though, remember to change the aspect ratio as well so everything looks taller) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCottTrials Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Song - MOST important Drama - The video has to build well and have enough of a mix of bails etc to keep you on your toes. Where's the fun when you KNOW they will land everything? Pace - Very important to prevent extreme boredom Spectacular riding - Video's are about what you can see, not what is hard/technically difficult, take that into account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Pace - Very important to prevent extreme boredom Unless you're going for an intentionally chilled vibe, but you need to make sure it's not just a yawn-rest if you're going for that. Perfect example of an awesome chilled video being Mr Bennett, here; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect example of an awesome chilled video being Mr Bennett, here; Yer i liked it alot, found it abit slow to get into it though. Have you got any ideas on how yocould speed this up, possibly music that hs a chorus near the start so that it gets the video going abit quicker if you get me. Do you tink that would be a good idea ?

I see a lot of videos with long boring starts which I generally skip past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) that's the idea... It was an example of a totally chilled out video that wasn't boring (in my view, anyway) i was just saying that although slow that's a really enjoyable watch. Joel's video's tend to be slow burners, but it suits his riding style down to the ground and i love every one of them. Just experiment and find out what goes with the way you ride, you couldn't make a video like that with hard, fast, slamming into every wall within a ten metre radius TGS and have it turn out as good. Mike; yeah i get that totally, was just saying that videos don't need to be fast paced to avoid boring those who are watching it.

Mark W Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Spectacular riding - Video's are about what you can see, not what is hard/technically difficult, take that into account I'd disagree with that entirely, and I'd also suggest that's probably a large part of the reason there are a lot of riders around now who are sketchy as hell and bad at actually riding a bike but can sidehop 50". Most TGSers won't appreciate tech lines, but a lot of people still do. Same way that a lot of people don't "get" natural videos, but I like them just because it shows a different level of riding rather than just repeated sidehops or gaps onto and from square edges. Like with that French Cup video that was up last week, the riding's pretty big in terms of inches, but it's also tech as f**k and being able to see how they're able to control their bikes in the hardest situations is awesome. Obviously it's not for everyone, but saying that videos aren't about what is hard or technically difficult is massively incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Oh, and it's always, always, always good to end with a 'banger' of some kind. Building up to the best move of the video right at the end is a sound plan - it's so disappointing when videos just sort of trail off at the end.
