Title: USS - Perpetuity
Post by: Blaze on August 29, 2016, 02:15:24 PM

Hello stunters!

The USS collective are hyped to present our latest crew video, Perpetuity! Just like Revenant this video could've been released months prior but as we all know only too well life gets in the way of stunting; people lose their time/spots/motivation and all that jazz but we're still alive and kickin' hence the name Perpetuity - "the state of continuing forever or for a very long time". I'd like to thank all the guys at USS for giving me the opportunity to edit the video and thank those who helped me out during this; there's a few editing bugs here and there but hopefully the rest of the video makes up for that  :cc_detective:

Without further ado, we hope you enjoy the video!

Mehmet's packer2wallride2grind was fucking mental, tried that spot a few times and it wasn't easy at all. Blaze your finisher was nuts, already told ya that, knew it'll be the finisher as soon as you showed me the clip. The edit was nice, however, cams weren't my taste but i liked the vibes. :a-cheer:

not bad video
the feeling that you do not have ideas stunts. I have more epic chall, I can sprinkle some ideas  :ajaja:
olds stunts (
6/10 -
if judged by the stunts
Clear edit ,I like it - 9/10

most liked opener,Drizzly stunt ,mehmet stunts and Raskal backbump2prec )

cool opener; 0:46 - really old from some NB crew video; 1:06 - i remember that challenge with barneys skin (really hard stunt but look very easy) good; 1:27 - mehmet u re amazing gj; 2:33 raskal nice grind; 2:39 also xtrms execution excellent; 4:42 this stunt looks annoying GJ! (4:45 nametag fail :D); 5:00 greate bump icey; 5:08 - my favorite stunt in video (i really like idea) and greate execution gj mehmah; and ofc finisher is good.

about editing - finisher and opener by blaze - egoist. mehmet should be on opener. I like first song, remind me old stunting videos and days. i hate second song. + i dislike this borders ( i understand its uss style, but they look shitty. sorry) Anyway I really happy to see new USS vid here. GJ everyone :mellow:

Gotta say i really disliked most of the camera angles, i thought they didn't do much justice to the stunts.

About the stunts themselves, Mehmet delivered as usual, that bole bump to bb was great and the LC wallride to grind was just a pleasure to watch :cc_detective: Xtramus' krail to ledge grind with the prec at the end was super tight, tree sidep2b to grind was nice as well although i wish you did a better grind there. Not a fan of Raskal relanding his old side p2b with a weird heli stuckie instead, his backbump at the construction site was great though (how the hell did you do that) I liked Drizzly's oldschool-ish flatbed bump and his squalo grind, also credits to Iced for getting the higher roof from that bump and Blaze for landing that finisher spot without a stuck method. Missed UL and Eatab in the video, are they gone again? :hmm: (and godson, though he wasn't in the previous video so i didn't have much hope)

Sorry for the wall of text by the way, i just quickly typed what i had in mind after watching the video.

I must say i enjoyed Revenant more than this one, but it was still a good watch, glad to see USS is still in the game

I didn't originally plan to have both opener and finisher, infact in the crew topic I even said I thought it looked egoistical and we had planned for someone else to have the finisher with mine being prefinisher but they disappeared on us. Thanks for the comments!  :mellow:

I feel like I went way too overboard with the cinematic camera angles and stuff but thanks for the criticism anyway, always nice to see what you can improve upon  :happy: UL turned up in the priv section about two days ago or something like that right before release, EataB disappeared and godson did have a stunt for Revenant but iirc Daffy landed it (it was the drop to bb grind spot in LC) and released it  :)

Thanks everyone for the comments etc  :wub:

That was very chill. Opener was fucking amazing. Lots of good stunts in there, especially the wallride grind in LC, was very satisfying to finally see it landed. Loved the soundtrack.

Post by: J.Mario on August 29, 2016, 04:40:31 PM
Honestly opener was creative enough to be imo, finisher was sick but I really did not watch out what the hell did you stuck for Blaze.. lolz

Editing is pretty neat but yes like someguy said above need improvement on cams, filming cam in vc is a good choice but still, would better to use your hand to operate cam for some killer stunts I think. To me you didn't do it bad at all. :jajaja:

Good job guys, expecting your next CV. :happy:

Btw mehmet's packer2wallride2grind was goddamn horrible, and Blaze you sent me that Uphill CSM for a collab and you used here. :o

YOOO NEW FUCKING VIDEO :o watching

e/ that was a really good watch, personally liked more the atmosphere at the first part but the whole video was great nonetheless! Blaze and mehmet slayed it but you all had really good stunts! It was very nice to see Raskal stunting after so long since he was my inspiration back in the days, and good job landing your old ass spot IceD haha I remember you showed it to me like 4 years ago.

so yeah overall amazing job guys! very nice way to start the week :wub:

e2/ honorable mentions: drizzly's flatbed bump (good old school shit) and faggio prec, xtramus' downtown upwards ledgegrind to prec and second part opener. ;D

This is the kind of video that makes me want to open VC again. Solid editing, wholesome length and filled with creative stunts, executed in a way pleasing to the eye. Fantastic job, Blaze and USS.

It's just a standard rhino bump where I had to keep moving it back every few tries. Here's a clip from when I landed it in February - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKtv5KI6aV4

Sorry about the CSM, some people didn't send stuff for this so I had to make up space in the video. I'll replace it with something else soon.

very nice, i never saw blaze stunt that good :P love it cause there are alots of unusual stuff and methods :ajaja: but im 2 lazy 2 mention stand outs. its nice 2 see u active these days :happy:

oh and me and joe already used joy division's song on this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuSqcY0qW4w)

It took ten years but I finally put out decent stunts  :lol:

So Many Blaze :sleep:

What do you mean by that? So many stunts by me or? Because Xtramus had one more stunt than I did.

This is the kind of video that makes me want to open VC again. Solid editing, wholesome length and filled with creative stunts, executed in a way pleasing to the eye. Fantastic job, Blaze and USS.

Thanks Jason, it's always nice to read things like that especially from people you've looked up to over the years. Hopefully you'll get VC open soon and we can see Spiengraph 3  :wub:

Thanks everybody else for the comments and for the review Frank! The VC timecyc is one I've had in my GTAS folder since about 09 and if I remember correctly I grabbed it from one of the old VCS mods and the LC/SAiVC ones are just stock. The lighting and other cool stuff is the 2DFX mod that gives the game more ambient lighting and stuff.

USS - Perpetuity Review by: ARS

Stunts:

Part 1:

Blaze - Packer Grab to Grind: Pretty fun, i like it. :happy:
DriZzly - Bump Spin to Precision: Love faggio stunts, gj!
Xtramus - Fallgrab Bail Into Garage: Xcreative stunt, nice idea!
Blaze and mehmet - Wallride Bump to Grind: I thought it was landed.. good job guys, looks cool with these masks!
mehmet - Wallride to Grind: Fully executed, gj!
Blaze - Pole Bonk to ring: Looks like i saw it before, anyway i like this kind of stunts, gj!
Raskal - Bump to Precision: It was landed somehow, maybe from this bump.. i don't remember. I tried it too long time ago, i like these small stunts, +1 for faggio. :D
mehmet - Pole Bump to Precision: Wow, cool stunt!
Blaze - Taxi Flip Drop Boost to Roof: Good stunt, just good stunt. :happy:
Xtramus - Ramp to Stoppie Roof to Grind: Yep, old one.. but i heard that Daffy landed it with stoppie bug.. idk is it truth or not, anyway without bug is better! :D
Blaze - Taxi Gap to Flip to Boost to Roof: Looks Fun and cool, nice idea!
Raskal - Maverick Bump to Roof: To be honest, i don't see the point to land stunt with another stucked vehicle, seriously. It was landed with csm, just similar stunt. But i really glad to see old stunters in action, so.. gj! :P
Blaze - CSM to Hill Top: I guess it's old with csm.. maybe i'm wrong, i think it's possible to land naturally.
Raskal - Bus Bump to Grind: Pretty good one, gonna try to find way to land it naturally.. :jajaja:
Xtramus - Stair Bash to Grind to Prec: Very good stunt, nice find!
DriZzly - Flatbed Bump to Roof: Oldschoolish stunt, gj!
Xtramus - P2B Triple Spin to Grind: I know this spot is really hard, but grind was really short.. Ahh, these spins making stunt better, yep. But really want to see it landed with better grind.

Part 2:

Xtramus - Stoppie to Bus Stoppie to Grind: Good job!
DriZzly - Squallo Ledgegrind: Good stunt, boat stunts is rarity nowadays. Nice to see them!
Xtramus - Flipped Skimmer Grind to Flyaway to Bail into Garage: Again Xcreative stunt, nice job!
Raskal - Stoppie to Curved Ledge Grind: It's old, even with faggio as i remember.
Xtramus - Faggio Cork to Grind: The general idea of this stunt is like nothing special, but exection and the shooting making stunt really sweet!
Blaze - P2B Gap to Roof to Bump to Roof: Would be cool, if you did stoppie in the end and did the grind. Looks like not finished stunt.
Xtramus - Ramp to Slider to Grind: I understand the idea of stunt stunt, but stunt not impressed me, sry.
Raskal - Back Bonk to Prec: Wow, sick stunt! Very cool looking stunt!
Xtramus - Bump to Stoppie to Ledgegrind: Cool stunt, but isn't it old? I have a feeling like Cooper did it.. Anyway i very like this stunt!
IceD - Bump to Roof: Very good stunt, i remember Ruchy did it from another runup, i hope it's not old from your runup. ;)
mehmet - Packer to Wallride to Grind: Sick! One of the best stunts in this video, nice to see it landed, great job!
Blaze - Rhino Back Bump to Roof: Same thoughts as with Raskal's maverick csm, but ok, stunt is cool anyway.


Editing/Soundtrack:
Intro and outro effects are very cool, i like them. Edit was good and clean, but cam angles were bad, that's true. Not all, but some stunts were ruined cause of these angles. Liked music, first one is really cool, second one is old, but pretty enjoyable for me and outro music is good too.
In general, video is good, just thank you all that you are still alive! Please, release one more video!

USS - Perpetuity Review by:FIGHTER
Stunts:
Part 1:

Blaze - Packer Grab to Grind: Cool idea, next time remove unused vehicles :D
DriZzly - Bump Spin to Precision: okay stunt.
Xtramus - Fallgrab Bail Into Garage: Cool twist on an airgrab.
Blaze and mehmet - Wallride Bump to Grind: Thought about this, never tried it, Nicely done.
mehmet - Wallride to Grind: Wallride is nice, grind could be done better.
Blaze - Pole Bonk to ring:Annoying bump, Well done!
Raskal - Bump to Precision:Seems old to me.
mehmet - Pole Bump to Precision:Sick stunt, Good job!
Blaze - Taxi Flip Drop Boost to Roof:Seemd old to me.
Xtramus - Ramp to Stoppie Roof to Grind:Old but nicely done.
Blaze - Taxi Gap to Flip to Boost to Roof: Really liked this one! Good find.
Raskal - Maverick Bump to Roof:Done with a p2b.
Blaze - CSM to Hill Top:Seems random to me.
Raskal - Bus Bump to Grind:Cool, but seems old to me, didnt someone do it with a psm?
Xtramus - Stair Bash to Grind to Prec:Nice one! really liked the smooth grind!
DriZzly - Flatbed Bump to Roof:flatbedbump, always +1. Good job!
Xtramus - P2B Triple Spin to Grind:Nice stunt, although BK's version is smoother and longer, I believe the BB grind is also possible. Try that.

Part 2:

Xtramus - Stoppie to Bus Stoppie to Grind: Nicely done, I truly like the longer stoppies, if you ledgegrinded the bus it would be even more awesome! :D GJ!
DriZzly - Squallo Ledgegrind:Fucking cool! seems annoying to me :s
Xtramus - Flipped Skimmer Grind to Flyaway to Bail into Garage:Cool, but didnt really liked it.
Raskal - Stoppie to Curved Ledge Grind:Nice! getting the stoppie is annoying because you almost have everytime too much speed, Good job Raskal!
Xtramus - Faggio Cork to Grind:Nice one! the shooting was random to me.
Blaze - P2B Gap to Roof to Bump to Roof:Random p2b.
Xtramus - Ramp to Slider to Grind:Awesome grind, that fence is hard as fuck to grind, Good job!
Raskal - Back Bonk to Prec: Stylish recoil stunt, looks awesome!
Xtramus - Bump to Stoppie to Ledgegrind: Old to me.
IceD - Bump to Roof:Good fucking job landing this one, Nicely done!
mehmet - Packer to Wallride to Grind:Best stunt of the video, amazing job!
Blaze - Rhino Back Bump to Roof:I understand its the finisher, although I didnt like it because Feron already owned that roof in a better way.

Editing/Soundtrack:
Really liked both soundtracks, awesome choice to me!

Last note:
Liked the video although there were a few stunts i would have left out.
I know its hard to produce a highlevel video with only new kick-ass stunts in 2016. In my opinion one amazing part would have worked better. Beside that, good to see all those names i know for so long.
The editing was nice, maybe next time dont use too much cinematic views (freeplay) for example the finisher looked much more meh to me, becuase i couldnt see the bump clearly.

Overall rating: 7/10

Post by: Diaz on August 30, 2016, 06:43:04 AM
Fantastic video guys once again! I gotta admit I felt this video to be different and not so 'hardcore' as the previous ones, probably it's because of the stunts. I missed some more bigairs but enjoyed these well executed and smooth stunts by you guys. Everyone did well and had creative little stuff, the variety of the stunts was wide as well. Mehmet stood out for me as always, his bb prec and prefinisher was purely amazing, as well as Blaze's finisher; it's always good to see that huge building landed.
The editing was not quite what I expected but it worked well with this kind of stunts. Liked the first part better as it had a really catchy song. You could feel the freedom and joy these guys had whilst landing these stunts, and even in 2016 USS is still going and releasing videos from time to time. The crew is able to make a two-part crew video even with 6 stunters involved while maintaining the high quality throughout the years. The title was creative as well because of this reason. All in all a very pleasant video, USS never disappoints, keep up the work guys, we are glad for you!

Good video guys, I liked every stunt in this. Mehmet's wallride combo in LC, Raskal's backbump and Xtramus' grind to prec were my favorite. I thought the second song didn't fit the flow of the first one, but maybe it's just me. Editing itself was alright, except a few cam angles on some stunts that didn't show them properly in my opinion. I also spotted a few oldies, one of them was done by me which is quite satisfying to know the stunt was good enough to be shown in USS video :P ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GbO7qKNfQc#ws 2:08). Gotta say I also thought the finisher clip looks odd, but I'm not an expert, so good job on that.

Post by: Blaze on August 30, 2016, 08:31:04 AM
Cool video guys, loved MehMet's packer wallride to grind! Daffy shown me that spot a while back, great to finally see it done. Enjoyed most of the stunts, despite there being many old spots. The editing was nice, but I feel like there's room for improvement with the pacing and angles. I liked this, but Revenant is still my favourite USS video :D.

Now for something else. I want to stress that I'm not sure about this, owing to the fact that I haven't stunted VC in many years, so please don't take any disrespect if I'm wrong, but I have to ask, is Blaze's finisher modded?

Tank bumps tend to give you sharp increases in height, and gradually slow down about 50% through the air, but Blaze's bump gradually increases in height, and sharply slows down about 75% through the air, near the apex of the building. The rotation speed is also quite slow in relation to most tank bumps, especially when they give you this much height. When you view the raw clip, it looks like the bike floats up pretty quickly and then suddenly slows down near the edge of the building. Vertical velocity normally peaks around half way through a bump, but in this stunt, vertical velocity peaks near the top of the building, and drastically caps off, despite having such a high level of acceleration beforehand. Got to say I have serious doubts about this stunt, but good job if it's clean, because I haven't stunted VC recently enough to be 100% confident about this :).

As someone who's been stunting longer than me I'm sure I don't need to explain the volatility and variation of bumps in particular tank ones; one bump you may get a crazy rotation off it and the next will be straight vertical depending on the angle you hit it. Bringing math into it to describe the physics of the game is hard when stunting is literally going against the physics of the game and your experience with bumps will differ to mine being that the execution of the stunt will differ wildly based on the location/vehicle/stunter. I spent about two days straight on it when I was planning to release a 10 year anniversary solo but I ended up using my stuff for this vid, ask Promagic or Rust as I'm pretty sure I was talking to both of them when I was going full fucking retard over bailing it and then eventually landing it. I'd even sent the clip around to quite a few people both new school and OG's and you're the first to throw a mod accusation at it (no disrespect taken though but if I was going to mod it I wouldn't spend two days straight, about 20 cups of coffee and giving myself carpal tunnel landin the fuckin thing :P).

Here's a few clips of some close ones that are on my yt account, they have more rotation to them than the landed one but as I mentioned earlier the difference from one bump to another is vast.

Maybe the raw clip of it makes it look a little suspicious because of the angle or w/e so here's the .rep for you to play back to your hearts content

Definitely looks cleaner in the replay. I'm not as keyed in to Vice City's physics as I was a few years ago, but I felt the need to highlight this to the Vice City stunters who are still active in case something fishy's going on. Great job if it's legit, I just have my doubts, and it's better to state them than pretend they don't exist, for the sake of those who know better :P.

EDIT: Looked at the replay again today, seems pretty clean. Removed my post, GJ on landing it! :)

Xtramus - Bump to Stoppie to Ledgegrind: Cool stunt, but isn't it old? I have a feeling like Cooper did it.. Anyway

Congratulations to David for pulling this off, I finally get to see what you have been working so hard on.

To be honest, I thought I would see something very different to what I am seeing, or at least something a bit more energetic. I have the need to point out that the camera angles were not beneficial to the type of edit you produced and neither were the color corrections (and there are none as my eyes can see). It quite looks like you recorded everything, chose the best-looking angles, put them all in a timeline and played a song in the background.

On the good side, I like the clean and 'relaxed' side of the video (even if it could have been improved) and every stunt. And to you, David, good finisher! Props for landing!

I may get into detail later.  :P

Blaze and Mehmet owned this video! So many slick stunts across the both of them  :a-cheer: hard to pick a favourite---that taxi flipness was awesome, but I guess that Mehmet's wallride to grind was beyond competition, amazing. It's also great to see Raskal again, that backbump2prec in LC was awesome!

The colours/timecyc/etc of the game were great, and the soundtrack choices were beautiful. Contrary to what some may think, I feel that no more than two stunts were diminished by the use of cinematic cameras---often it worked quite well!

Feels great to see such a classic style video from a classic crew in 2016. 9/10 from me.

I wouldn't even be surprised if you were a fake account pasha, because who the fuck names himself after a csgo player in a gta stunting related community. Blaze was around before you even knew about pasha.

Kickass vid, Xtramus' VC natural stoppie to grind is old by Daffy, I bet someone mentioned that already. Mehmet's stunts, Blaze's finisher, Xtramus' natural grind2prec and some other stunts I don't remember were outstanding, pretty chill editing Blaze.

I'm glad so many VC vids get released nowadays, gj :cheernutz:

I don't see the problem with me being in USS or how I'm "ruining" a classic crew - iirc USS got crew section around the same time I joined, I've been a fan of USS/X/BJ/mehmet and pretty much everyone in the crew for years plus they liked my audition, myself as a member and the video I've made so I'm not too fussed what he thinks. Cheers for the comments too mate <3

Alright, I'm ready now...

First things first, Blazer, you killed it man. You really took the load and carried this team to the finish line. I admire how you took the initiative as the new guy and offered to edit. This video was a huge undertaking and not everyone around here will realize it but the crew did and you proved it to us. I think I can speak for the rest of the crew when I say you will always be a welcome member in USS for as long as you want to be. You handled yourself like a true gentleman in adhering to our many requests and changes before you pushed out the final product and I can say you did a fantastic job with your patience.

As far as the crew goes. Well done boys! We pushed out another one! You guys are my only inspiration for stunting anymore and I'm so glad to be apart of one of your videos! I've been MIA for quite some time and I really felt excited for this one, so thank you all for putting in the effort you did! USS has gone through some interesting times but we truly are something special.

Thankyou to everyone who took the time to write a full review or leave a comment about the video, it's nice to see videos are still appreciated and getting comments/views. I know a few people mentioned the angles and I agree I did go overboard with the freeplay cinematic views however I had expected to get 10+ more stunts which would've balanced it out (which is also the reason why the finisher angles aren't the greatest as it was going to be prefinisher).

Another thing I believe got mentioned was it could've been combined into one whole video/drop the weaker stunts/etc; that was actually something we'd considered at one point. I'd edited the first half of the video and left some spaces for people who were late with sending stunts. I tried to fit as much in as possible but the video was too fast paced and there were still quite a few stunts left out so it was either re-edit the video to a new longer song, add a second part or release the first part only. It could've been consolidated into a new part with the best stunts but we all enjoyed the vibe of the first half so I thought it'd be better to go all in and start fresh for the next video. Maybe a few of the stunts are quite lacklustre but I'm happy with the final product, the crew are happy with it and for the most part I think people enjoyed it which is nice considering it's the first proper video project I've been involved in  :ajaja:

If anyone's interested this was the first beta of the first part, there's a good 15/20 betas on my channel but I doubt anyone's interested in watching them to spot miniscule changes lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzV9GaQuAgk

Also slightly related, when I returned to GTAS in November I had planned on releasing a solo on June 26th to commemorate me being on GTAS for 10 years it was going to have bunch of OG stunters guesting; a lot of people said yes to it but as editing/deadlines got closer pretty much 90% of them dropped out so I dissolved that project and put my reps/editing into this video instead, but here's a snippet of what was going to be a solo.

I didn't get around to replying to this video yet, but cheers to all for the nice words. Also cheers to my fellow USS mates for their great stuff! Of course a special mention goes out to Blaze for pumping this mofo and dealing with our endless stream of comments, great job!

I'm glad people liked my stunts, the bonk 2 krail 2 ledgegrind 2 precision I landed several times without the precision or almost on the precision without the grind (see some fails and the landing from a different angle here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GS6octdpLc), and originally that was going in the video but I ended up landing it like a week before it was released so luckily in time to fit that in there.

Other than that, the packer 2 tree 2 grind I've had a spot since shortly after I joined in 2005. I saw Lord Peres landing the roof from that spot (can't recall the fucking video, please help me out someone) I knew I had to land that. So many fucking years on a spot and it might not be the best execution, but fuck it I'm putting that one in its long overdue grave. When I landed this I almost shat myself.

I just watched xtramus do a radded stunt. Times change.
As you can figure from the info above, it gets boring tapping just lean forward on a stunt :P The RAD is completely unneccesary (remember Lord Peres landing the roof waaay back, and landed it myself SO many times) so that really is just to keep my sanity in check.

To those who hate themselves - the billboard grind is possible.
