Just a friendly reminder - You’re only allowed to bump your post once a day, the original post counts as a bump. It is this way because then you don’t spam the boards and so that you don’t take up the whole “new post section”. By bumping up your post, it makes your post go to the top of the page. This makes other posts go lower down the page. You’re only allowed to have one bump per day so that everyone has a chance to share what they want to share. :wink:

To comment on the video - That was very good! There were some very creative tricks in there! I loved it! You did a great job!

I love videos, so I’m only critical to what I like to see…

The Bad  
It appears that you’re in an awesome wooded area. I’d love to see you set up the camera in different parts of the woods. This will add more depth and create an atmosphere for the viewer to enjoy. The background was a bit static after awhile.

The music didn’t seem appropriate for the scene. I’d be into some bluegrass or some other Deliverance style stuff. (If you haven’t seen Deliverance, you’re too young to so don’t for now.)

Composition. If the camera were angled down just a bit more I we might get to see the star of the show a bit more: the throw and the tricks that accompany it. It wasn’t bad… just a tad lower. Also, find your mark for the close up shots. (i.e. know how close to the camera you can get before most of the pose is out of the shot).

The Good  
You’ve got mad skills man. I can’t even come close to your accomplishments. You’ve got a nonchalant style I can respect. Some people come off with this “ya, I guess I’m good” flare that I can’t stand. You don’t project that at all. 1 1/2 years… I can only hope to accomplish what you have. Keep on keepin’ on.

Yeah, I was filming myself and couldn’t get a better angle, so I had to set in on a deck which explains why I couldn’t get into the forest. Thx for the compliments man.

You’ve got some nice tricks and elements. Like stated before it’d be nice to see multiple angles and other scenery for your vid. I understand your limitations in this vid so hopefully you can implement that next time! 🙂 Also I’d try making your edits a bit tighter. Example is to cut out you walking towards the camera. Overall nice tricks! 🙂
