011001000110010101110010 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 dont make it so long. Make like a 3-5 min video. Then when people say "I really want to see more" make a 15 mins one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkey_monkey_boy Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 na man make it a good and varied 6-8 minutes but mix up the natural, street maybe a spot of freeride type street stuff, don't give us 8 minutes of uci style side hops up huge shit cos by the third hop we're bored. i've got a 75 minute long uci comp video and although theres some greta riding by god its boring after 10 mins... download as many videos as you can and watch uci comp stuff, natural, street, bmx, freeride, dirt, and general larking about and then go out and film a nice mix of everything and you'll have a cracking video... good luck oh yeah and if you want an 8 minute video you'll probably have to shoiot about 2-3 hrs of footage (and thats if your good)...

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 its not uci at all , just a riding video , trials and dirt jumping and street . the idea was to make a longer video with rider type sections :S ive got a lot of film over the past year so thats in no short supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Just watch a whole load of videos and really have a look at what the top riders do to make their vids look good. Craig Lee Scott shows off his professionalism by doing moves again and again but shooting them from different angles. Ben Rowlands seems to just have a knack as to which effect to put where and how to make the footage and the editing fit with the music. Matt Berridge is just really good at picking the right music to fit his style of riding. Have a look on this section of the forum at the topics which have recieved the most good replys (or any in fact) and see what makes those videos distinguished from the others, e.g. TRA, Craig Lee Scott, Glasseye, Boon, being really arrogant and not at all modest the South West Trials Crew, and anything else that may not be popular, but that you just really like. In the end its your video and the person that has to like it most is you. Hope I've been helpfull. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
