Cap Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 is it only me or it seems that gilles rides one location an suddenly everyone else have to ride that If I could get to them places I would love to ride them, but I know what you are saying. Good solid riding from him. Agree with Ala on the music though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossatron Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Music is Music! who cares Its Trials forum we comment of peoples riding! Not a www.Music-forum.co.uk I like it thought it was a spot on video!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ah Ross, you really are an argumentative kid aren't you. In-case you were actually partaking in an honest conversation and not just trolling the hell out of the forum again I'll try and explain. Riding videos are not just about the riding. If it was then no one would put music in them. Part of the skill in making a good riding video (other than the skill level of the rider) is the editing. A good editor would always chose a song that hasn't been used before, that's pretty much rule 1! A good editor finds a song that fits the mood of the video as a whole then will try to fit the riding to the song (so landings or moves are in time with the beat). The BMX world has caught on and there are daily web edits that are all to a super high standard. Trials riders don't seem to put the same effort in, seems that they hear a song that's popular and is in many other videos and think that means they should use it too. It's just lazy. To be honest I don't think you'll have read that and I expect the usual playground name calling to appear any moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossatron Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ross? Erm.. no i was done with you a long time ago Ali! I dont argue im just giving out my opinion! I never asked you to write a paragraph did i? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm not arguing here just telling you how I see it! If I had the choice of watching a video with amazing riding but shit music and shit editing or one with amazing music and amazing editing but average riding I would always take the one with the amazing riding, its trials I'm interested in not video editing. Depends on who the videos aimed at, if it's general public then editing and music is gonna be way more important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 the thing is all it would have taken was for him to not have used the same song used by 90% of "extreme" sports videos these days. I'm sure he listens to a few bands that would have had something that would have worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 a video with amazing riding but shit music and shit editing or one with amazing music and amazing editing but average riding But why not have both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 But why not have both? Maybe but editing isn't that easy, maybe if you spend alot of your time getting good at trials there is not time left to practice editing, not ever ones lucky enough to know some one whos great at editing! Ali is lucky to have some one who's great at making videos for him in the form of mark w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 that is true, thanks Mark! Before Mark, I made my last vid back in 2007, I am not great so I just stopped after that. I decided that crap videos are worse than no videos, not saying Aurelien's video is crap, but just a more of a concious effort to find an unused bit of music would have been better I think.

Luke Rainbird Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 You don't have to be a pro though, a little thought goes a long way. Decent quality footage, a track that fits and some semi-decent riding will give a solid basis for a very watchable video. A few little touches like putting things in time and removing long delays/setups etc and you're onto a winner. Hardly any more thought/effort than most videos that people release, but much better to watch and a better way to showcase riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 If anyone wants a video doing, my day-rate is 1 x box of Flame variety red, seedless grapes (ideally from Egypt, but any S.Africa country will do), and 1 x Starbucks Mocha drink. Both of these are readily available in most Sainsburys and Tesco stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
