Wish there was some more helpful critisizm on this site
We all suck when we start, it was through help and constructive critizism from the ckf that helped us get better
Ok here is my critizism of the video
-In the begining, 8 seconds of nothing but a black screen is waayyyyyy to long. I relize you were waiting for the song to pick up, but some text, or an image would definatly help out there. People arent gonna wait 8 seconds
-Throught the video, you seemed to focus too much on the tame stuff, and not enough time on the potential cool stunts, like when the fat guy was carrying around the other guy. Howver the camera cuts when the guy jumps off the tree and grabs the branch, or when it looks like the guy was gonna jump out the window, If they did the stunt....show it...because even though its just a teaser, you arent well known enough to do that. If its someone like steve-o or bam, they might be able to get away with teasing a stunt like that, because you know they are gonna do it, and its prolly gonna be a crazy fall. When you make your promo's and your unknown, you need to show us the best crazy stuff to get us intrested.
-The text for the peoples names in the begining cuts out too quick, either that or the shots for them are too long. No offence, but right now, nobody cares if Sparky or Dazz are in it. Thats because sparky and dazz (and everyone else for that matter) arent known by anyone else.. When you start off, you need to promote your stunts first, get us intrested, if we have to sit through a minute of people we dont know, most will get bored and turn it off, after a while however, if your videos get big. If the people get knownfor certian stuff, the yeah you can start promoting them more. If you still want the peoples names in the vid, do it at the end with a quicker montage, the main point is, we have to be intrested right from the begining.
-Dont rush the craziness of your stunts, its a learning experiance, we have been doing it for 2 years and we still kinda suck. So just give it time and practice falling on matresses.
-If you get really hurt doing homgrown stunts....dont blame homegrown.....
Good luck to you and I look forward to your future stuff
