"This video no longer exists..."
?

This video is being converted right now.

Just a song and a black screen for me

Yeah i was disappointed with a black screen also.

Awww...

"This video no longer exists..."


The Fonatana race video was sweet though! Nice work!

Dude that was pretty sweet. That intro was awesome, what did you use to do that? and I gotta say some nice footage of Nic Hadley in there (the blue and white kit, riding for Go-Ride)

Wow the black screen was awesome, what place did it get!

cool video. I like the intro.

Hell YES!! Nicely done. Great footage
But I must admit, I am a bit biast... It's me at 2:10-2:19 and my friend Mitch (The 16 year old ripper than won the pro mens dual slalom) from 2:22-2:40.

Great fun out there at bootleg. I love that place!

Yayy im the one pedaling out of the gate!

Sick intro dude i dont know how you would splice those shots together but its cool!

Awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sick video but maybe went a bit overkill on the slow mo.

Excellent point :biggrin:

VERY nice footage you got there. I really need to pick up an HD camera. What camera are you using?

As far as the editing goes, I agree with the too much slow motion comment. I get bored watching multiple 20-something second long clips of suspension moving. I want to see how fast a rider can tear up some trail, not how well the suspension works. Although, slow motion shots are GREAT sometimes they should be a secret weapon only used seldom in order to match up with a song better, or show something in detail (but when doing slow mo for detail keep the overall length of the clip on the shorter side).

I like to oppose slow parts of a song with fast (aka 100% speed, not sped up!!) footage. I also like to do the opposite, keeping full motion at fast spots in the song. The key here is actually to line up the speed changes and cuts in footage with changing points in the song. I'm almost confusing myself so here is an example... at 51ish seconds the song makes a big, faster paced change. Here is a PERFECT spot to cut to a different shot of a 'normal speed' clip of a rider pounding out some rocks.

You're intro is SICK by the way. Lots of potential overall. Let us know how it turns out!
