The riding was pretty sick.

 

But from a fellow videographer's standpoint, the filming was pretty bad in some spots. Shakey and bad angles....from the colors in that edit you obviously didnt use a dvx (or at least I hope you didnt). I highly suggest getting a tripod to make your shots look much better.

 

Also .wmv is a shitty shitty format, the codec makes the quality look like shit and you compressed it so much that you got mad dropped frames...making the filming look even more shakey and the motion look delayed. Look into the h.264 codec through quicktime (.mov or .mp4 for iPods) - its the latest from qt and its pretty sick, I've been using it for a while now.

 

Don't take anything the wrong way, I'm just trying to help you out....constructive criticism. If you're sending your video into big companies, you want your shit to be top notch.

good riding. i'd spell sponsor right when you send it though, don't want to give a bad impression. Camera work was good enough, they're more interested in the riding than the film making, although the spotty compression will suck, so send in the full res version obviously, best to burn a DVD.

Thats rough. I filmed a few years ago, we had about 45 minutes of good shots on the tape after about 6 hours of riding. On maybe the 3rd to last thing we wanted to do, we did a shot where I was riding along side the guy as he rolled into the jump, up, over the knuckle, and then I aired a bit cuz I was going the same speed. I didn't fall but right when I landed the screen went black, and when we got to the bottom the camera was completely dead. We got the tape out but had nothing to play it with, and the camera was a loss. This was right when digital cameras were coming out, and it was an analog VHS-C camera so we didn't want to buy a replacement cuz we said we were going to get a digital, so we lost our whole seasons work becuase we couldn't get any of the tapes onto the computer. It sucked.
