the intro was kinda long, but I think it was really well done, so I really enjoyed it.

there was some medicore (I guess ill use that word) stunts, but they were mixed in soo good that I was entertained the whole time.

editing was top notched, as well as alot of good angles.

alot of the stunts nearing the end were just amazingly brutal and def jaw dropped.

the stunts that the girl did, they seemed kinda weak, but I mean, what other group has a girl willing todo stunts, and you kinda have to expect it to be not as great as from guys.

the "timberrrrrrr part" was really funny

and like ray said somewhat, the mass amount of footage you seem to have is just amazing.

really, really enjoyed this, seems like yur stepping yur game up with each release and this one was pure awesome. congratz Image file not present in the recovered backup Image file not present in the recovered backup Image file not present in the recovered backup

Thank you!

I did most of the editing, with Alex's suggestions mainly. Rob did the special effects.

I'm just glad we finally got this video out. After a year of filming, lots of fun, lots of stress... It was all worth it to hear that people are enjoying it.

negatives - I think the begining was to long for a mixup nearly 2 minutes long and had no real relevance. tbh I kept skippin it along quickly or I might have got bored it should have just started at 1:15
I dnt think the music choice was great, was edited ok to it tho, and final bad point I think the weak clips ruined the tempo of the whole thing but u already explained y they r in it

positives - in the last minute there were a few awesome stunts, my favs being, knife to foot (still prefer lsd machete), ladder into the fence, pane of glass and finally the best stunt was prolly the backflip to pins

overall I think it was pretty good as someone said focus on the bigger stunts ditch stuff like the bowling thing or at least dont put it in the same mixup and would have been awesome

I think you guys did a great job using the vast amount of footage you had. yes some stuff wasnt as good as others but I mean you did an ace job having all of it in there

Yeah, Keith and I confined ourselves to his computer many-a-day for this one. Lol.

I figured we'd hear it about the intro. And, much like our other long intros, I feel they add character and they're more for us and the non-HGF supporters as are the "filler" clips. I mean, you guys have seen the craziest of the crazy. But we tend to try and play to audiences of people who are entertained just seeing someone staple dollars to themselves. (We did it at Warped Tour and people were amazed, lol.) But don't get me wrong, we have some cool shit planned for the future. I'm actually really psyched that some of the clips felt new and good to you guys. I feel that, even if we only had one clip in that video that made even the veterans cringe that we did a pretty fine job. Thanks for everything guys.

I would make a shorter mix up. Editing was really good but really cheesey at parts. I could definately tell alot of the stunts were inspired by indy wrestling, which is cool but if your going to do wrestling like stunts work on your bumps.

Good stuff, good stuff.

Liked the intro a lot. But didnt quite match with the clip. I´d say use it for a skit and leave stunt clips just stunt clips. Will still make a nice intro for a horror skit.

The stunt clips in the end of the intro could have been toned to be more dark, but thats just nitpicking.

There was lots of filler and ok clips, but also great stuff: loved the big guy, strike and timber were funny, the bending fence as well, bruces roof stunt, backflip to stacks, naked barbwire were hc, found some other stuff falls an shiz to be entertaining too.

As said contrast is big, like a beginner group and a good group mixed. But thats actually the case if there is your earlier footage mixed with recent footage.

I suggest you make a horror skit where you use the intro and the awesome fliming spot you have. And make a 3-4minute stunt clip with the okay clips and great clips. Use k clips for filler and have more build up for good stunts, you´ll easily make entertaining 4 minute clip.

All I was trying to say was she not only kept her lovely figure, she's added so much to it.

As many others have said, the intro was too long and there were a lot of mediocre clips. But, there was also some decent stunts and shennanigans to keep us watching.

All in all, I give it the title of "Not too shabby."

My favourite stunt was the one at the end, with the treadmill-tacks-forehead-you-know-what.

I liked the intro, it added a creepy feel to it, I just think you should have kept that style going the whole video. Would've been ace. Also, cut the worse stunts down to minimal length, and focus way more on the good ones. It was better than I expected I must say.

When we went to Warped Tour, aside from a few minor stunts, we showed this video:

(The quality took a hit, I'll reup it when I can)

People got a brief preview of Thanatos clips in there. It was mainly to get them more interested, and it seemed to have worked.

Figured I'd share it. Me and Keith threw it together real quick.

Absolutely loved it, You guys have a nice bouncy feel to your vids, like you're all genuinely enjoying yourselves. I love the way you put original spins to cliched stunts, well done, You inspired me to wanna get the old crew together and just party like the old days.
props.

The last minute or so of that was fucking brilliant. If the whole thing was just like 3 minutes long, and you cut out all the crap (there was alot of stuff, that was just very underwhelming) it would have been a brilliant video. As it stands it was just a good video, with plenty of fuckign good stunts in it.

I don't normally care about stunt videos any more, as it all seems to have been done ect, but like I said the last minute or two of that video was fuckign impressive. The pins on whtever that was on the treadmill was fucking brilliant, the knife on the foot was brutal and some of the jumps/ flips through glass and barbedwire and stuff were great.

Lol, thanks for the feedback you guys. (Sorry this is a bit late as I haven't been on in 2 days.) All the awesome stuff you guys have said only pumps us up more. And don't you worry, there will eventually be a "best of to date" M.I.A. video when one of us feels like editing it and it'll be only good stuff. We'll also be releasing extended versions to the clips that deserve them as I've previously mentioned. This isn't the last of us. Expect some cool shit here and there and possibly working towards a bigger project in the future! *wink*

I was a little confused at first with the horror build up and then it started showing you guys all of a sudden, you know what the video was really going to be about because I enjoyed the beginning and then when it turned to something completely different.. Oh well it was pretty much an enjoyable watch and you had some original shit in there but a few really bad and lame things in there too. I mean huuuge contrast between some of the things, like two different groups at times, but you pulled it off nicely because the better stuff was really good and I think a mix-up can have some filler stuff too as long as there's not too much of it. And just so this comment won't leave an negative impression, I really liked the video.


I totally agree with my man right here.

I was preparing myself to see a short horror themed movie.. I liked the intro but didn't fit AT ALL with what was coming which annoyed me. For me the first few minutes made me realise again why I stopped with this shit. Imo all the same stuff again that we have seen over and over again. Still busy with those trolleys etc that shit is so outdated. But whatever.. from the part where the fat kid just let himself drop on the wooden plate I got entertained. So yeah big props for the last few bits man, some sick shit right there but just ditch the stuff we all know about please.
