Ohboy

E:
Most of the stunts were really fucking kick ass, that fucking drop bump 2 bb grind especially, though a bit too many stuck methods for my taste. Also, I wish someone else had edited this  :(

Always a pleasure to watch a Barney solo, totally epic stunts. I like how he can bring new aspects in VC stunting as nobody else. Brilliant ideas, amazing executions, good mixture of stunts, everything was just perfect, at least stuntingwise. Disliked the edited to be honest, when it comes to a Barney solo people expect some "brutal" editing I guess, not something like this. This ruined the experience a bit for me, but the stunts were too awesome to say this is a bad video, rather video of the year once again.

After this video I could just dream for the best solo of the year award. Awesome kick ass stunts dude, and I'm very glad to see how high standard stunts nowadays, even in light that I've lost some tricks.
at 3:18 I cannot believe that run up is enough for that big air
about the finisher: it's possible to reach even the higher parts, just change the angle of run up, and you will see what I mean
overall the stunts raped VC, but the editing raped the vid...

Kinda sad that I have to stay at work for at least five more hours before I can watch this.

Barney's solos and Sorcery's edits always make me expect epicness, I can't wait to see the two combined.
Title: Re: Barney - Homunculus
Post by: RedX on August 27, 2014, 05:39:14 AM
Crazy video, killer stunts from beginning to end! Agreeing with Simon regarding one thing, I would have liked to see fewer stuck methods. Then again those stunts were ground breaking, landing buildings that have not been landed before, and it would be impossible to land those spots by any other means. A lot less variety in terms of vehicle use in this video too, I would have liked to see a freeway/faggio/sanchez/rhino/car/taxi stunt here and there.

My favorites were all the natural spots and p2b's, and well over half of the stunts just had me smiling at how crazy good they are. Probably the best collection of stunts in a single video I'll see all year.

The music was a bit too bland for these stunts in my opinion, and I think Sorcery's editing works better with different kinds of stunts. I'd love to see these stunts showcased in a more conventional way with a more energetic soundtrack. Some aspects of the editing were really nice though, I just felt that the atmosphere of the video didn't do the stunts justice. I wanna be pumped when I'll be watching what Barney has pulled off the last year. I'm not saying it has to be metal, but just that the viewing experience should be more intense in some way... this, to me, just felt very ordinary I'm afraid.

Not my favorite video of yours (those being UnorthodoX and Unusual Cruelty), but in terms of impressiveness you just keep pushing the limits and it's really enjoyable to watch (well Barney, you would know better than me, but I'm guessing some of these stunts were among the hardest you've ever landed).

Unorthodox didn't even have a lot of editing but what it was mixed with the song that was used emphasized the greatness of the stunts much more than this type of editing/song does. Hoping he'll let someone re-edit it.

Post by: Samurai on August 27, 2014, 06:55:13 AM
shit just got fcking real.

In my pants when i saw these stunts, starting with that stoppie. I remember seeing you doing these super stoppies and i'm always looking for spots to utilize them and this was aces. Guess i could try to take it to the ledge grind....yea right!  :lol: bump to car sign, fuckin Natch bitch! The AP stunt, i mean, was that the planned execution. wtf!  The mall grind... the vert bump....etc.

Non stop all killer no filler as usual man. Thanks for the pursuit of high level stunting Barney again  :ajaja:
 
I didn't know what to expect from the editing, but i figured it would be unconventional in comparison to the earlier videography.  The stunts were clear and nothing was distracting for  me watching the stunts, so that helps when it'ss these caliber of stunts. Only thing i would've liked more of is more run up time, as i'd love to see all the stunts, mainly big air ones, from the beginning to get the whole "picture" It definitely has the scary window feel and props for going and also creating the soundtrack. 

Enjoyed it, nice job Barney and Joe. It must've been hella fun getting to edit such great stunts.  :mellow:
Title: Re: Barney - Homunculus
Post by: Rainbow on August 27, 2014, 07:19:41 AM
Most of the time I like your edits but I coulden't enjoy it here. It just made the stunts look like they were not that big of a deal and I didn't feel the power of them. Also most of the run-ups weren't displayed well.

On the stunting itself.. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. Lost two spots but what the heck. Most of the spots I never even thought of or imagined that they were doable. For example the last two stunts. Quite a big amount unexpected shockers like the dropbump2bb grind and the very vertical natbump. I'll make a full review of the stunting later to make sure I can highlight every stunt  :ajaja: You sure have a great balance between hard tech stuff and big airs in here!

What would be nice to see is your face around here (and your alias for the past 13-14 months) and give us some stats on the prefinisher and such. Very curious to hear a bit more  :)

Post by: Blaze on August 27, 2014, 07:42:52 AM
Why the fuck is everyone complaining about the editing, god fucking forbid Sorcery wants to be creative instead of downloading the newest hard/death/metal/core In Flames Dimmu Borgir whatever fucking song and ramming the video with 200 earthquake plugins. I can't even imagine how much work Sorcery put into editing this and its lame as fuck that (presumably) months of work is degraded by saying "you ruined it" - if you're going to give criticism at least make it constructive.

As for the stunts holy fucking shit, solo of the year. The variety of stunts was great, my personal favourites were the LC Ledgegrind at the car park, the VC airport prec, the LC stadium prec and the finisher. I think it's safe to say Barney is one of, if not the best stunter ever as it seems every video he releases raises the bar for stunting.

Or rather stressing and may give anxiety feeling. I personally find the editing really well but I just think it didn't fit Barney at all as we all have seen all his videos with some kind of a heavy song, he may have changed his taste or what so ever, but it just felt weird to watch this video with this kind of song/edit, Blaze.

And it's not necessary to use a "newest hard/death/metal/core In Flames Dimmu Borgir whatever fucking song and ramming the video with 200 earthquake plugins" because excuse me, but Monolith was not fulfilled with 200 earthquakes and extreme effects attached to an ultra heavy deep ass throat destroying song.

This was your best edit Sorcery so far (imo).. it wasn't that annoying. Just didn't fit the stunts.
I didn't like the finisher actually. The stoppie 2 prec and that dropbump2bbgrind were amazing.

E: What is this senior member thingy? Is it new?
Title: Re: Barney - Homunculus
Post by: Named on August 27, 2014, 08:54:54 AM
Watched right now, I understand that people only are saying their opinions but, IMO this editing maked the solo looks a classic VC engine video, the main song of the video looks like of the same VC introduzing song style, I really enjoyed the editing, obviously isn't like the normal Barney solos, that's why people are being confuse here, but you got a really nice job in there making this fantastic atmosphere Socery, congratulations for your effort on it (and if you really have designed this song, I want to see more from your stuff if isn't a problem).

Talking about the stunts, what can i say again? all the years people await for Barney's solos, always, but this video is something totally diferent of everything i have ever seen from Barney, legendary stunts, forgoten spots that people said was impossible and you did it, thats your specialty, no? I always would like to see the V rock precs landed correctly like you did, I realized that you changed a little bit your stunting style about finding spots, probably because is more harder to find spots in VC now than in some years ago. I just can't imagine how was the dificult to got a perfect runup, perfect angle and perfect landing for that psm at the stadium in LC (I imagine you trying to stuck that packer, really exhaustive), fucking nice job for your patience Barney, I just loved this video like i loved the last two big solos, would be fantastic if you say how higher is that tower from the finisher.

some nice stunts, liked it way better than the melon's one, not as many naturals and more bigairs, cool to see you figured that vc csm 2 construction site, I was trying it with all kind of vehicles but couldnt get decent set up
finisher feels lame, not what I expected to close things up, after everyone's bitching about zenaku's skimmer bumps I wonder how nobody points it out now

editing and music was cool, fuck people who can't think of anything else than rock/metal in videos, that's pathetic, enjoyed it way more than monolith

Yes me too.

 The editing is not bad and does not ruin the video. I liked especially in the first part of the video. It works great with stunts like grinds, precs original run ups.. From 2:50 when the second part of the video begins, Barney plays in serious business  :P And I think a song "hardcore" it would have been more appropriate. Difficult to mix the two ideas, I agree .

Anyway 1:43 and  the pre finisher were my favs. stunts are amazing .. Congratulations  :a-cheer:

I cant stop watching it, but i dont know why its in VC UN-MODDED Stunting Video Releases topic. I  was trying by all my 'career' to land lower part of this build and it was impossible, because run up is too short, but You landed the heighest part of this build, dont belive its clean. This video is timeless anyway. :)

Well every stunt blew my mind, not even a sinlge filler (except for the printer ledge grind), personally i think you are the best vc stunter, always landing original stuff. The editing was great, and it makes it even greater the fact that joe made the soundtrack himself (and its pretty awesome, i thought it was some other artist before i saw the credits) but barney did wrong at choosing him because they have different styles, barney is metal :P but its a great video anyways.

Mind blowing stunts! I don't even have a problem with the stuck methods, because the spots you landed with them were absolutely worth it. That huge stoppie combo, dropbump to BB grind, CSM to construction precision, LC parking lot P2B, and that amazing hospital CSM... fucking insane.

The editing was fantastic in its own right. Really nice data crushing, very tight pacing, brilliant creativity... Sorcery's vision flowed through his work with mastery. However, I do have a few problems with it, and overall, I don't think it was best matched to this video. The colour grading lacked a ton of depth, most of the colours felt very flat/overexposed, and there didn't seem to be any consistency to the grade when weather types changed.

The biggest complaint I have with it is that I never felt a sense of wonder or high tension from the editing. To really make me feel that wow factor, the stunts had to do all the work. The editing never made me feel that "will he, won't he" sensation. There was no surprise, the stunts were all I could look to. Luckily, Barney can blow us away all by himself, but a lesser stunter would lack power under this type of edit, and I think that's a problem with a lot of Sorcery's videos. Fantastic editing, but ultimately didn't serve its real purpose, in my opinion.

Now, what else is there to say? I think I noticed two old stunts... maybe. I think 0:40 might be old, but 1:56 definitely is. A few of the stunts didn't quite stand up to the rest (like the printing press ledge grind), but again, these are minor complaints. I loved this video SO much, but I never quite felt the wow factor that I did while watching Unorthodox or Monolith. Amazing video, top #3 of all time at the very least. Regardless, the overall package didn't stand up to your best work, but I love it for what it is.

That was sublime. Quite possibly my favourite Barney solo actually. The stunts were all amazing, but some (such as the finisher, the drop bump to BB grind, the PSM to precision... meh 90% of the stunts) were each stunt-of-the-year material. Sorcery - you did an amazing job. This might actually be my favourite editing by you to date; I love all the neat little elements you added in the video, and the fact the soundtrack was composed by you just further adds on to the personal touch you gave this video. I'd much rather see a different style like this than yet another video from the same pipeline.

Video of the decade.

Oh and, to anyone saying Barney only does metal, I only have this to say:

I cant stop watching it, but i dont know why its in VC UN-MODDED Stunting Video Releases topic. I  was trying by all my 'career' to land lower part of this build and it was impossible, because run up is too short, but You landed the heighest part of this build, dont belive its clean. This video is timeless anyway. :)
actually the finisher is possible and landed on the higher part, but I didnt imagine if the run up of the pre finisher could be enough. I gotta try it

This is undoubtedly one of the best videos of all time. Stunt-wise I was completely blown away, fucking inhuman stuff Barney, it's unbelievable how you always keep pushing the limits of stunting with every new material you release, I'm beyond impressed. Editing-wise... at first, just like many others, I was let down by not seeing the dark atmosphere and not hearing brutal music that is typical for Barney's videos, but after seeing it about 10 times, my opinion about it changed. I'm glad that you experimented a lot and made it very unique, it made the video stand out even more, and the fact you actually are the author of the music makes it even more impressive, great job! I loved the camera angles on almost all the stunts, really well thought-out IMO, also good moderate use of Freeplay. As some already pointed out, you could have shown the run-ups of some of the big-air stunts, especially the pre-finisher and a couple of others, but I guess it wouldn't be in sync with the music then...

Can't really sum up which stunts were my favorites because the list would be too long, but what really shocked me the most was the drop bump to grind near the VC stadium, didn't see that coming.

This video is a masterpiece! ;D

I agree with that and I also think Sorcery did amazing job with editing and soundtrack. Nem I told you 100 times to fucking calm down but you just don't listen. Sorcery is doing something more creative unlike almost all editors here (including me) and he should be respected for that. Also I don't think Barney would let him release it if he wouldn't be happy with it, so let Barney have the video he wants to have.

You know GTAS has gone to hell when half a Barney topic is calling bullshit on one of the most experienced and influential stunters in the history of this franchise. (Especially a complete nobody).

That aside, kinda curious about the run-up for the LC Docks CSM. I've never been able to properly angle myself to extend the road towards that open gate near which the CSM is. Generally great solo. It's a little tough to feel the weight to most of these stunts when I'm used to heavy music to accompany it, but it still felt awfully brutal just from how simple and unique they were.

If you ramp the hotring ontop of the fence (with a packer) it will sink down after like 10 seconds, which is possible without dannye's. You don't need to spawn it inside the fence at all.

As I said in secret MO skype convo (shh...) the thing which I admire in Barney the most is his extraordinary ability of persistence and patience. In my opinion, that is the biggest reason why Barney differs from rest of us. I could even say that he has so niche skill, that you are able to write his name and the rest (including Magnus Carlsen and maybe Garry Gasparov) to single A4 paper, or atleast with the smallest font. Absolute monk status. I believe, that whatever he is doing, this ability makes him better than others. Not saying that he is also pushing the limits every single time, which is of course another reason why he is beyond others.

When it comes to stunting, these stunts are beyond everything. First time when I watched this video, it felt that some stunts were fillers. Now as I have seen this video multiple times, I can see their purpose. They give nice variety. It also seems that Barney loves double grinds, and I'm impressed how he keeps finding them. I also love it, how the concepts behind some stunts are actually quite simple, eg drop bumb to grind near hyman stadium and the drop bumb at the docks in VC. People keep looking for stunts and go for these areas, and yet no one hasn't noticed these spots (or atleast landed). In my eyes, that is amazing. Then there were also super creative ideas, like the opener, stoppie prec and cocks stadium prec.

I can't really point out which stunt was my fauvorite. The more I think, the more equal they look. There was fantastic equilibrium trough the video. I am truely astonished.



I have question for the artist himself. As you said yourself, Unsual Cruelty was more like "fun vid" for you, because it contained SAiVC stunts. Still people thought it was the best video ever. Now people think the same, but this video didn't have any SAiVC stunts. Was this fun vid, or was it more serious one? Also I want to know, what keeps you going after all these years? You might be the only still active member from 2004. You logged last time in "March 27, 2013, 01:19:33 PM", but still you keep stunting, even without keeping any contact with the forum. What is your driving force, and what's the secret behind your "monk status"? I understand that everyone must have a hobby, but this question keeps bugging me from time to time.

RAINBOW REVIEW:

STENTS:

Packerbonk2roof: I can vaguely remember this once being posted as a challenge somewhere. Looks really hard and also very good. Really solid way to start the video!
Drop2ledgegrind: A great grind combo like I expected from you. Looks very challenging to get right. Also liked the camera work here.
Stoppie2prec: Didn't see this sort of thing coming  :P I am guessing it is really tricky to get this one right, nice one.
ramp2carsign: One of those stunts everybody knew about by are rarely tried. The way you sticked the landing is about the only way to do it. Pretty insane you managed to squeeze that one possible landing out of the spot.
hillramps2grind: One of my favorites just for the idea and the looks, getting to the grind is not hard at all but getting on there is pretty tricky. Enjoyed it.
dropbump2tracks: Hard, hard aaaand hard. The execution wasn't the best but you did it so whatever  :rolleyes: Had a few tries on this about a year ago but coulden't be arsed to push through with it and invest some time.
airportdrop2prec: Didn't really like it although the 'swagspin' was really nice  :D
mall bump2grind: Another one of my favorites of the video, gave it half an hour after the video was released and managed to get on the grind a few times but coulden't make it across the first corner properly. Great find and very good looking imo. I'll be sure to give it another go sometime for a bit of a longer period.
vertical natbump: One of the oldest remaining natural spots in the game that everyone just knows. Can't say I ever tried it but the verticalness of it all made it look nuts. Great job.
dropbump2BBgrind: Have to say you caught me off guard there. Wasn't really sure what was going to happen when I saw the run-up come into view but this made me say 'wut' out loud. Great execution as well, top notch stunt.
ledgrind2grind: Bailed after the second grind twice because I was carrying too much speed. Your execution was great here, just perfect.
CSM2redbeam: Never thought about this, really liked it!
watergap p2b: Could have picked a better camera angle for this one. Not the best looking packerbump overall but it did suprise me quite a lot! Looks like a bitch not to fall off there. Very nice.
V-Rock precision: One of the things I could have guessed where in here, although I expected a certain packerbump when I saw the run-up. First person to land it, epic one!
moneydrop ledgegrind: Another one of my favorites due to your execution, what a fight that was! Loved it!  :D
PSM2stadium grindprec: As soon as I saw the PSM I knew what was going to happen, not really a fan of the stunt itself but still a great one man. Having to land in the grinding position sure didn't make it easier!
Cocks DSM: Lol'd at the replay name  :P One of those stunts I would have bet were impossible until I saw it unfold before my eyes. This is one of those stunts that only you will do first, things deemed not possible or really really hard but you just go for it. And that pays off. Great one yet again.
vertical p2b parkdrop: Another one of my favorites because of the whole package. The editing kind of cut the stunt into pieces which I didn't like but looking at the replay was awesome. Great stunt from start to finish!
Moist palms top: Personally my favorite of the video and coulden't wait to have a go at this. One of those places I never imagined could be landed, ever. Coulden't believe what I was seeing  :D Had a view looks at the replay and went on to try it. Took about 8 hours to finally stick it I think. Thank you for this spot  :jajaja:
Skimmerbump2tower: The bail folder you supplied with your replays was a pleasure to go through, those bumps are ridiculous man!  :lol: After all those bails I can imagine you settled for the lower part. Epic way to end the video, and what a package of stunts it was. As a side note, is there any chance you still have the set-up? Would love to give it a spin sometime.  :happy:

EDITING:
This was kind of a battle for me between expectations and outcome. When I found out you were editing I had mixed feelings. I knew it wasn't going to be something like his previous solo's, which I could play forever. At first glance I didn't like it, but after rewatching it a few times the editing kind of growns on you and it gets more enjoyable. The atmosphere you created was kind of 'empty', it didn't really get to me or make any emotion take the upper hand. Most of the camera angles are really nice (second stunt in the video and the moneydrop ledgie come to mind), and you really know how to edit grinds. However, taking that grinding camera angle style to big airs just doesn't cut it for me. You really neglected showing run-ups here which I think was a big bummer. Also on the docks CSM near the end I saw more sky than buildings which made the stunt look smaller than it was. Your Freeplay (and/or camhack) angles are still as I expected from you, really solid and good looking every time, they add something to the video  :happy:

DEM TUNES: Had to view the credits to find out it was your track. It sounds really good and as a standalone song it's a great song to stunt on and put in loops. Hard one to skip so definitely a big plus here. You should make an album and get a record label deal or something  :D The variation and changes in tempo are really really nice. Got a download linky for a good quality of it?  :)

OVERALL: The stunts were on the level I expected the moment I heard you were making another video, so around Monolith level. Brutal, big, small, technical, everything. I did think there would be more than just PCJ stunts but seeing how they are all high standard I won't complain here  :D Eventhough Sorcery probably did a good job given the music he picked and the stunts supplied, I still feel like I would have loved to see something else instead. I mean I really enjoy the music as a standalone but it made the atmosphere so emotionless/effortless that I just have to say that this is my least favorite Barney solo.


TL;DR: Just read it lazy people  :P Also spelling mistakes are in here, so just read it like it should have been.

Post by: TurBo on August 30, 2014, 04:32:18 PM
Why the fuck is everyone complaining about the editing, god fucking forbid Sorcery wants to be creative instead of downloading the newest hard/death/metal/core In Flames Dimmu Borgir whatever fucking song and ramming the video with 200 earthquake plugins. I can't even imagine how much work Sorcery put into editing this and its lame as fuck that (presumably) months of work is degraded by saying "you ruined it" - if you're going to give criticism at least make it constructive.

As for the stunts holy fucking shit, solo of the year. The variety of stunts was great, my personal favourites were the LC Ledgegrind at the car park, the VC airport prec, the LC stadium prec and the finisher. I think it's safe to say Barney is one of, if not the best stunter ever as it seems every video he releases raises the bar for stunting.

This

shit just got fcking real.

In my pants when i saw these stunts, starting with that stoppie. I remember seeing you doing these super stoppies and i'm always looking for spots to utilize them and this was aces. Guess i could try to take it to the ledge grind....yea right!  :lol: bump to car sign, fuckin Natch bitch! The AP stunt, i mean, was that the planned execution. wtf!  The mall grind... the vert bump....etc.

Non stop all killer no filler as usual man. Thanks for the pursuit of high level stunting Barney again  :ajaja:
 
I didn't know what to expect from the editing, but i figured it would be unconventional in comparison to the earlier videography.  The stunts were clear and nothing was distracting for  me watching the stunts, so that helps when it'ss these caliber of stunts. Only thing i would've liked more of is more run up time, as i'd love to see all the stunts, mainly big air ones, from the beginning to get the whole "picture" It definitely has the scary window feel and props for going and also creating the soundtrack. 

Enjoyed it, nice job Barney and Joe. It must've been hella fun getting to edit such great stunts.  :mellow:

And this comment, sum up my opinion on the excellent solo you've made once again, really inspiring stuff and eventhough I am less of a fan of the stuck methods side of things I still could more than just appreciate, love, the unique stuckies in the end of the videos that were all fantastic spots. Ofcourse the natural stunting in the beginning was for me a real delight to see.

Fantastic video, thanks for still keeping at it and making it happen.

I'll also do a full review since it's been a long time since I've done one and a video of this magnitude deserves them.

STUNTS:

Packer Bump to Roof: Nifty spot with a solid execution, the angle and the way you came up through the poles made it look sick and a great way to open the video.
Drop to ledge grind: My first favourite stunt from the video, looks like it would be a very challenging spot from the combination of dropping to the ledge and then it goes straight into a curve but it looked effortless.
Roof Stoppie to Precision: This is definitely one of my favorite stunts from the video; getting a stoppie to last that long in the first place is hard (for me anyway), never mind getting it around the building and then landing it to a precision, it kind of reminded me of Questions grind to stoppie at the mall in Quake 2. Great spot and it was pulled off stylishly.
Ramp to Car Sign Precision: I think this is one of those spots that everybody has known about but nobodies ever tried to land it. For some reason I was expecting a grind on the top (gap to grind the sign to prec the wall below anyone?), but the precision was still very impressive as it looks like that sign would be quite glitchy.
Hills to Grind: Another sick stunt, the amount of tries it must have took to even get up to the rail made it an overall noteworthy stunt.
Drop Bump to Train Tracks: I thought pretty much every way to land those tracks had been done by now, looks like getting a bump on that spot would be hard, good job.
Airport Roof to Box Precision: This is definitely one of my favorite stunts from the video and it surprises me that it hasn't been done before; the idea and the execution were on point and the landing looked cool as fuck.
North Point Mall Bump to Grind: I'd been trying that for a random video in the mall I was gonna make, that spot is horrid since most of the time you end up going behind the building and falling under the map, extra points for finding it and landing it so well.
Vertical Bump to Roof: I think this is another one of those spots that everybody knows but nobody has landed; I'm not a massive fan of airs but I can tell that spot must of taken a while to land, the bump and landing looked pretty sweet too. When you started tilting forward in the air I was expecting a mid air grab but the bump to roof is sick enough.
Drop Bump to Grind: Not many stunts make me go "wait what" but this one definitely did; was expecting the usual CSM or bump from the little ramp further up but this was definitely unexpected and a sick stunt and idea in general.
Ledgegrind to Grind: I dunno if it was just me but this seemed like abit more of a filler stunt compared to the others; not to say that it wasn't good since it'd probably take me a long fucking time to land that and it's a great idea for a spot with a perfect execution, but it still felt slightly lackluster compared to the other stunts or even older videos like Monolith.
CSM to Red Beam: That also caught me off guard; I was expecting a distance stunt or a gap over the water, not a vertical bump to a precision. Great idea and execution.
P2B Watergap: As said before I'm not a big fan of bigairs etcetera and this didn't really have the wow factor that other stunts in the video did, but I can still respect it based on the time it must have took and the fact that landing on that roof must have been a nightmare, I wish I had that kind of perseverance. 
PSM to V-Rock Sign: Just like the LC tracks I thought the V-Rock sign had been landed in every way possible, but once again I'm proved wrong. Wasn't expecting a PSM either, was expecting a P2B or another big air stunt from the history of stunts in that area, good job.
Drop Bump to Ledgegrind: Like the other ledgegrind this one also felt kinda weak compared to everything else; still a great stunt, the angle for the grind looks like a bitch but I'd assume it's nothing for the master of ledgegrinds.
PSM to Stadium Precision: Definitely another favorite from the video, the idea and execution along with the landing made it look sick, especially since there was rotation instead of a straight up vertical bump.
Docks CSM: I'd always thought this was impossible since the run up on the corner is fucking horrible but you nailed it with a sick execution.
P2B to Roof: As said before I'm not a fan of big airs but this made me dribble coffee all over the place, how can it be possible to even get that high. I wouldn't have the determination to even deal with the runup, never mind the bump to roof. Fucking sick.
Hotring CSM to Roof: This was another shocking big air stunt, pretty sick considering the run up for that spot would be horrific combined with the fact the landing is tiny.
Skimmer CSM to Airport Tower: God fucking damn, just looking through the replays was horrible, major respect for landing that.

EDITING:


I've already shared my thoughts on the editing on the previous page but I'll reiterate them again; asking for it to be re edited or simply bashing the editing saying "it sucks" or it "ruined the video" is disrespectful as fuck; yes, Barney has the whole heavy metal persona attributed to him since that's what has been used in the majority of his videos, however it's plainly obvious Barney worked closely with Sorcery to achieve the final outcome of the video; if Barney wanted it to be a "hardcore" edit, then it would have been but at the end of the day it's up to him how his videos are produced. If you're going to hate on the editing, atleast try and make it constructive and make specifics for the editor to take feedback from, not "editing sucks lel re edit plz".

Personally I thought the editing was great; the stunts spoke for themselves and the editing presented them clearly instead of emphasizing them; yes, sometimes it's nice to have an edit that highlights the prominence and accentuates the scale of the stunts, however sometimes it's nice to take a break from the monotony of videos with heaps of special effects and hard music; Sorcery did a great job on the editing, the video glitching and whole vaporwave style was rad and it fitted the video well instead of taking away from the video like some editing does. The music itself was also a strong point as it was made specifically for the video which may be a GTAS first? I don't mean to downplay any of the other editors on here but Sorcerys creative vision for these videos is, atleast in my opinion, unprecedented.

10/10, no doubt about it, and unless some heavy hitters drop a solo or collaboration in the next few months, there's a high probability this will be video of the year.

WHAT THE FUCK?! IS THIS EVEN REAL?? One of the best videos I have ever seen...speechless. Thanks for landing some spots I have been trying for some years, good to see that shit finally landed. Oh btw 1:56 is old by me (it's not like you get to say everyday that Barney landed a stunt you already did). All of the stunts were special in their own way and as in every Barney video there was a great balance of technical and big-air stuff. Editing was typical Sorcery-style (which implies that I like it). This really made me want to stunt, I might dare myself to open VC after a long time.

Amazing stunts, some of them looked just perfect(the opener, or the natbump near VC airport for example)
Too sad someone seriously lost the finisher, however the pre-finisher and the stunt before it blew my mind, those are unique ideas.

Keep rocking dude

It's amazing that in 2014, more than ten years after the firsts stunts vids, you guys still find some nice spots. I remember when I watched stunt'd 2 that was so mind blowing... lol how far is that now? I remember every time Barney came with a new solo was an instant classic and it went straight to gtastunting history, and this one I guess it's not an exception.

It's hard to apreciate the difficulty after so many years without playing but in my times I tried the one in 2:22 and was never even close so congrats on landing that one  :lol: Props on 1:35 also, old school rules  :P Also next one bump to grind was actually very cool and last one is simply WTF!

A bit off-topic but I'm quite surprise actually on how many of you guys are still around here, that's great! In fact I came here after watching some GTA V vids and see Daffy, TD, and others from the VC times. And I came here and I see that Barney just have made a new video in Vice City in 2014!!!

So much nostalgia! Keep them coming guys, you rule!  ;D

Best regards to everyone!

Glad to see this finally come together. I'm so proud  :euro:

It's a beautiful thing to continue to see your passion and craft stunting, and I admire your dedication and integrity to creating these unique works of art. I think we all can appreciate the level of commitment it takes to continue to find and land stunts of this calibre after these twelve years since the games release and over seven since the discovery of the rads method. Stunting is something many of us walk away from and keep coming back to and it's because of people like yourself. With every one of your videos you've shown us that if there is no limit to our imagination or our discipline. I feel inspired by your technical ability and creativity in my real life, and your pursuit of perfection is something everyone should strive for in any pursuits in life.

Brilliant

Well said!

There were several stunts were I literally said "No way" or "Fuck off" and replayed those stunts over an over. The drop bump to billboard grind, and the PSM to precision at the stadium are just too much to handle! I don't know how you do it man, you have this vision for stunting that nobody else has. Well done on another amazing solo!

Barney's still alive?!? Well bugger me. I'm just letting it load up now, I'll edit with a response when I watch it.

EDIT: Well...that was very impressive. I'm not only impressed at the impossibly-high standards that Barney obviously sets for himself, I'm equally as impressed that he continues to play this game and tries to push it to its limits and beyond those limits. I was never one to push the boundaries in this game, I never really had the patience for it - I'm sure Barney is though, and it shows here. Can only imagine the countless hours of near-misses some of these stunts took before nailing it spot-on. He inspired people years ago and still inspires now, which is bloody mental considering what has come since Vice City was released in the GTA universe!

Thanks, Barney - for this and all the rest. Well done on the edit too Sorcery.

So I opened up itunes and was shuffling through songs and "The Serpentine Offering" started playing.

Feeling nostalgic I opened up youtube and searched for Unorthodox. Its crazy, can't believe it came out 10 years ago. I remember Nitz messaging me asking me "have you seen barney's new solo??"

Ended up watching Monolith next and some weird titled homunculus vid was suggested. Decided to check it out.


And unbelievable. The entire time I'm watching it - cannot believe that these stunts are happening.
You've always had a eye for stunts dude. Never show-boating some of the most amazing stunts anyone can ever do. You get a single view, at the one angle its recorded at, and that's all you get to see.

Probably gonna be the first time I say this, but Barney is the greatest thing to happen to stunting. haha.

This video dethrones "Reborn" as my favorite.


Awesome vid man!
