New Video - Opinions Wanted

[cyclebabble]

Hello,

I made up this little promo video for a event next august. I know a little early, but I can't ride anyway, due to this hell we call snow.

Anyway, just wanted to see what others thought of it. I am not to sure, so that is why I am asking for opinions.

Thanks in advance!

Chris

I was going to comment on this but I seem to have forgotten everything I have ever seen and I seem to have forgotten everything I have ever known.

Good stuff, except for that audio transition around the 1:05 mark.

Nicely done. The one thing I'd change are the individual letters popping up at :35-:39. They come too randomly and quick to put together before you're into something else. You could esily drop them.

+1

The pics that follow in the 39-49 range come to quickly for me to see them effectively.

First of all, let me say that I'm a big fan of your videos and have done my best to get them spread virally (I think that would sound worse if BNJ said it ). But...

I'm feeling like your type treatment (CG / supers) is all over the place from both a font and movement standpoint. Also, since your video stock is so solid, have you considered using more of it throughout and perhaps screening it back to a bed (30%) to occasionally pop stills on top? Or use the stills as a transition device rather than a sequential collage?

You're probably regretting asking for input right about now, huh?

You are a talented man. Thank you for sharing your work.

Nah, not regretting anything. I posted it cause I wasn't sure when I finished it what even I thought of it! Just trying to get some feedback, it is nice to get comments from other people, because when it is something you created yourself it is hard to look at it with a fresh perspective.

Thanks for the comments!

Meh.

Not sure what that means though.

That's exactly what I thought.... :dribble:

[SIZE=12pt]I really liked it. The only suggestion I have is that I would have liked to have seen some of the stills just a[/SIZE] [SIZE=8pt]little[/SIZE] [SIZE=12pt]longer.[/SIZE]

Nice!

Chris, I think you did a really good job of "attention getting" and the transitioning between text/clips/stills reinforces in my minds eye a perception of speed which is certainly a big part of why we ride motorcycles.

This was about motorcycles wasn't it? :huh:

Awesome as usual,

VP

looks great to me....like whens the movie comming out.. just was'nt in love with the music at arround the 1 min mark,

but still ...makes me wana ride right now.

Nice special effects!! The soundtrack hiccup is the only thing I would change.

 

[Kaelaria]

That was horrible. It looks like something a kid would put together, after using every transition and effect in the box. A collection of very uninspiring snapshots, and some non-thrilling video clips of tilting road.

Start over from scratch - think about what the point of the video is then stay true. If you don't have high quality content, you can't make up for it with text and cheezy made-at-home editing effects.

Man, I'm hopin' you know Chris...

Pretty tough comments if ya don't....

Kaelaria:

I, too, am hoping you know cyclebabble and that you were just "funnin' him." If so, ignore what comes next...

If not, your comments are massively arrogant. When someone asks for constructive feedback, you don't lob juvenile insults at them. Would it feel good if someone criticized your landscape photography for having unoriginal composition or your black and white photography having contrast so weak it felt like grits smeared on white toast?

This holiday season, try shopping around for a little class.
