[stephendedalus]

Damn boys, we already have individual threads about how much we hate each of these things...



Then again...

Holy shit this was bad, showing two Chet Thomas line's at once in big/small boxes on the screen might have been the stupidest shit ever done in a skate video.

[Albatross]

All skate videos are horribly edited when going by broadcast media standards. The only good ones are the documentary skate stuff.

but on SLAP standards, Baker and Deathwish videos are the best edited while production-based videos (or any video with a shot that has compositioning and planning) is considered to be a steaming pile of crap. Thats just the vibe thats being given off.

the fuck are you on about "broadcast media standards" and "compositioning and planning", good editing captures the essence of the story you are trying to tell and street skating doesnt involve composition and planning


im with nino on origin as well that movie was sick


the best thing to come out of this thread was people reminding me about since day one, i forgot that movie existed halfway through my first watch

the fuck are you on about "broadcast media standards"

VX1000 and 4:3 is the standard for today's current media output?

[Seamus_McShamebag]

Whoever thought it was a good idea to have "Mind Field" cut with a bunch of strange clips should get fired. I get it! You're kinda weird and this is arty, but it's too much.

Not true at all.  I found that they were timed perfectly for me to grab my jit rag, do a quick clean up and then light another stick of incense.

The editing in Since Day One wasn't terrible, it just produced a video full of one-off internet parts and doesn't work as a complete product.

No one's gonna mention Happy Medium 2?

You can watch street league if that's what you're looking for in a skate video.
People make unique, quality shit however they want, it's just skateboarding. Krooked's Gnar Gnar, Palace videos, Jackson Casey's work, Volcom Chicagof, the Sabotage series, the list goes on and on

[EmilioBestevez]

I thought Bon Voyage was really well done....just sayin

[via]

The editing was fucking terrible in Since Day One, but Roll Forever was so much worse. Half of Ramondettas part, the clip starts to fade away before his wheels even touch the ground.

Despite having one of the best teams out, reals last couple videos have fallen way short due to filming and editing.

[Baron Samedi]

#MiAmor, not that you can really consider that a video but the editing still sucked

[phillip dominguez]

The DGK video was it for me.  The skating was great, but the stretched footage mixed with the HD,and the corny ass story line between parts killed it for me.

Workshop have always done the artsy mesh between clips it's fucking rad IMO, minefield is one of the best videos I have seen. As for horrible edits: extremely sorry and prettysweet were fucked, should've put the jack black/will arnett skits in a special features section/web clip... Or better yet, girl should've fired ty evans. The new transworld video has amazing skating but is edited so generically, bring back "a time to shine/first love" transworld style vids

[nowell]

There's nothing happy about a happy medium 2. Should be re-titled "a pretentious indie jerk-off" medium

I usually figure I'm the only one on this forum that enjoyed The Cinematographer Project, Perpetual Motion, and Pretty Sweet. I'd like to watch full grand quality videos in this era where full parts are dying out, but thats just my personal opinion.

And from the examples you gave me, I'm wondering why would you consider street league a "skate video"... Whatever, I'd rather go skate than talk shit on here but its currently raining.

[gnidraobetaks]

that ambig modern art video. clint walkers part was boss, but the whole "modern art" aspect of the video sucked balls. not that anyone cares about ambig anyways...

[McCly]

This. I had to watch it in 3 sections without skipping those stupid skits because I thought there would be a better payoff. Had I known Stevie's part was to one of my favorite songs ever I would have just watched it backwards like Memento. 

(But I did watch Wade Desarmo's part 4 times in a row before moving on. Someone please get that dude a shoe sponsor.)

I felt like Mind Field was a fucking Animal Collective music video or some bullshit.

Finally someone said it. Yeah the skating was great, but damn those skits were soo damn corny. Especially when they "shoot" Stevie & time starts freezing.

I concur. This video could have been much better than what it was.

Remember when Bootleg 3000 got a ton of shit for the excessive slow-mo?

[JARVISblow]

Real 'Since Day One'
Any Nigel Alexander video, from Proof to all his bullshit web edits
The last TWS video, Perpetual Motion
Any Strange Notes edit

[MostlyLurkin']

That Primitive video pretty much sucked balls

habitat origin was great, you a dumb bitch

[close]

Mosaic and inhabitants were great, Orgin was trash, great skating, terrible vid.

You're going to tell me you enjoyed the song for the Durante/al Davis section? Every time I watch that part I want to punch the editor in the face for using that bullshit alien chanting song. Half of that vid or more had some shit songs.

[close]

that song grew up on me and its not even that bad

stefans song is good, austyn song is good.. marks song is good

you just dont have taste

...not even that bad?!? This song...are you fucking kidding me? Fuck this baby soft bullshit, and the rest of origin.



And you said I dont have taste. Ill stick with old generation habitat.

[Tarela]

Although it has great skating, whoever edited Habitat Origin did a bad job and picked boring ass music to go with a confusing intro.

Your joking right? You not liking it also doesnt make it the worst..

[theradone]

Circa It's Time is probably one of the worst videos ever made.

You're an idiot. Watch all the old AWS videos, especially Memory Screen, and they're all just the same with artsy 16mm and super 8 clips. Mind Field was nothing out of the ordinary.

[Yu Dum]

First video I had ever received through a purchase of a magazine. I still love it, regardless of the terrible editing.

[McDonald's Hot Fudge Sundae]

Clint Peterson had a neat song in his part. The dark end of the street one. Was that Colt Cannon's final video part before blowing his knee out or was that an element video.

Remember shorty's how to go pro? I don't either
