Title: Darkstar - Something Something
Post by: Simon on October 02, 2012, 10:05:18 AM

Who am I kidding, It's a best of  :|

Anyway, I've recently noticed a lack in my activity in stunting so I thought I'd just throw out a best of before inactivity took over. Though this was almost a year ago or something like that and things have been going rather slowly. Samurai was supposed to edit it, but sadly his computer failed him. So I handed the project over to Rainbow who did a great and quick job. I ended up just letting him choose the songs, I just told him what kind of feel I wanted and it came out great.

Fuck I could write some pages here, which I'm not going to.
Just one quick other thing before I let you watch, the video has 5 unreleased stunts in it. See if you can spot them all  :cc_detective:

Darkstar - Best Of (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txA9_DQhheg#ws)

I was told the youtube video was private, but I have a feeling it's just unlisted so I think you can all watch it. If not you'll just have to wait for Rainbow to get back.

Hope you enjoy!

Great stunts, I liked hotring hospital one the most. Was the angel triple grind one of the new stunts? If not, I wasted a while on trying it, haha. Editing was smooth and had a powerful and dynamic flow, good choice of soundtracks too.

Thanks for the shoutout, I hope you'll stick around.

Holy fucking shitballs, that was absolutely nuts : O Can't say I didn't miss some stunts, because I always enjoy your stuff. You will always be amongst my favorite stunters and of course one of my closest friends on GTAS. The new stunts were crazy btw, loved them!

New stunts: p2b to prec, double grind spin thing on docks ship, angel multigrind. Can't spot the last two, because I had seen the rest before. I guess it's because you've shown them to me on MSN.

I might be coming to Trondheim for a weekend in November btw, like more than half of my friends have moved there to study, so I thought I'd pay a visit. We should meet up! I'll let you know ^^

Rainbow, nice job on the editing dude, really fresh atmosphere you've created here.

Post by: Sheep on October 02, 2012, 10:27:14 AM

So you finally release this :P

I was expecting ridiculous big airs, but now I see you're more of a creative stunter :ajaja:
Sick cabbie stunts, grinds, precs and big airs :happy:

Good luck in future what ever you do! :wub:

Great video, finisher was my favorite.
About editing I can say that the music was a bit quiet.

I noticed the new stunts and they were really cool as long with the others :P great edit by Rainbow, really liked it also nice songs who are fitting really well and one question: Where's your finisher of Devour? I expected to see it here also as finisher or you didn't added it cuz it's in SAiVC and all of the other stunts were only in VC/LC?

Title: Re: Darkstar - Something Something
Post by: Gavran on October 02, 2012, 11:13:10 AM

Awesome Best Of! It's been a while since a good release in VC, and this definately put me in the mood to stunt again. Loved the new stunts (especially first part finisher since it's a bitch) and of course all the previously released ones. Thumbs up!

Also Rainbow, can't say much about the editing, because as usual you perfected it. Spot on!

Title: Re: Darkstar - Something Something
Post by: Ltab- on October 02, 2012, 11:24:01 AM

Hell, this was so fucking amazing man! Every single stunt is perfectly executed and very well spotted. Standouts were the 2 parts finishers, hotring hospital stunt and the natbump2prec at the starfish islands arc :)
Also with a simple edit which was done very well, everything was flawless! Song also reminded me of THPS3 (regardless it's not on the soundtrack) and I have images of you, kai and me trying to beat Cooper's score :lol: :lol:


btw I've spotten only 4 new stunts I think xD
straightp2b2prec
ledgegrind2grind at docks
angel x4grind
that bump using the bus as a runup in the water (not really sure if it's unreleased though :P)

This will be my most favorite VC video ever, that was sick dude. Your style is absolutely amazing, just the thing I love to see.

Post by: MikeyMouse on October 02, 2012, 11:31:58 AM

Fuck, those cabbie boosts...you've defintely got an eye for those  :cc_detective:.
Great stunts overall, extremely enjoyable video both editing and stunting wise :).

I'll probably be stunting from time to time, just not as much. And I'll still be visiting the forums  :D

Yeah it was, and it was a quad grind  :euro:

The other two would be the first part finisher and the bushwallride2grind. I think I've shown you all of them except the one on the ship though. Maybe you just forgot.

And nice, just say when and I'll see if I have time and money to do something  :happy:

Quote from: Skuller on October 02, 2012, 11:03:37 AM

Where's your finisher of Devour?

Firstly I decided to leave out SAiVC stunts, because I don't think I have that many good ones and just one or two is pretty dull. And if I had SAiVC in there I don't think that would have been in there anyway. Just because I don't like it, it never struck me as good looking or hard, so I don't see a reason to have it in there and it didn't mean anything to me.


And thanks for all the awesome comments so far, glad people are liking it  :a-cheer:

Great best of! I was really interested in seeing all the unreleased stuff. Beautiful ideas and executions, one of the most creative stunters around here. Loved the atmosphere of the video as a whole, good job on that Rainbow.

They were originally for a solo I was planning, but then I got inactive and I just saved them in case I wanted to finish the solo one day, but then this came up and I really liked them so I threw them in here. I don't see why it matters that they were unreleased :lol:

Post by: MV on October 02, 2012, 12:46:05 PM

Really sick, liked the cabbie boost and the ledgegrind2packer2grind both at docks the most :)

The feeling of the video was really calming which is what I like ;D great executions and finds that aren't so obvious :) Downloading.

:3 I spotted the five ones. And I liked the cheers in the 1st part finisher haha

This video is pure gold. Stunting it was a great mixing of technical stunting, a few big airs to shock and some creative ideas (that bus on the water is one of my favorite ones ever). The editing was another good point, fast pace, good angles, and clean, yeah, I like when it's clean :)

Downloading and keeping.

also the 2nd song is amazing, i remember it from burnout 3  :)

Both are from Burnout 3  :P A week before Simon contacted me I got my hands on the complete tracklist. There was a load of potentional in there. So if anyone is looking for a song, start digging.  :cc_detective:


Glad people liked my editing (except for Fighter, as usual, get some taste man!  :ninja:). Even I coulden't spot the new 5 stunts. My skype message said 4  :euro: Or did you send me an extra one? Anyway, sick collection of stunts as you may have guessed by reading the other comments. Editing it was a honor.  :) My favorite must be that zebra boost to precision on that colored stairs kinda building. Wasted so many hours on that just failing and failing. Bus in the water stunt is the close second.

This is only of those videos that I really love, just because of the atmosphere is has :D
Some epic stunt right there Simon! There are no obvious spots (IMO), which makes me think you really worked hard to land those :D Sweet ass job.
Rainbow also did a sweet edit.

I hope to keep seeing more from :D

Post by: Samurai on October 03, 2012, 12:46:14 PM

Great stunts, and a tight edit Rainbow.

It was bittersweet. Bitter because i was molding and figuring out the edit for the vid and it was starting to become clear after i made an intro. It was shaping up to something i was warming up to and as i was putting water skies in the vid , shortly after my PC got wet and.........well i'm in the midst of saving up for a new now. 

Sweet was seeing all of Simon's great stunts and now seeing a cool edit with all of them in a tight vid. I gotta hand it to Simon for being patient and being super understanding about everything  :ajaja:. When i told him about the mishap, i suggested Rainbow as the first person to possibly ask about editing it and glad that all worked out!

So in short, Great job lads  ;D

I don't like many of the VC stunts, but in this video there wasn't a simple stunt which I didn't like. Really good variety of stuffs, that's what I love sooo much. You have mastered the cabbie stunts, the bigairs and precisions, the grinds, and every technical and tricky stunts too, like that stunt including a bus in the water. Loved especially the finishers, and of course the natural stunts. The editing was also decent and enjoyable. Althought I'm not an expert in VC stunting, this video was 10/10 for me, good job once again!
And I hope I will see some more stunts from you in the future  :)

Finally i can se your double epic grind again from another angles. Well probably one of the best VC stunters for sure, that bump2palmride2 grind and this finisher are just epic, congratulations awesome stuff, and lovely editing Rainbow  :a-cheer:

I want to say that you have always been one of my favourite stunters because of the creativity and great skill you have. You are also one of my motivation sources when it comes to stunting and I say one BIG Thanks for that! Now to the video: Every fucking stunt was brilliant, great edit, enjoyable song. 10/10 I am looking forward to seeing new stuff from you in the future! Respect..

Post by: Eddeman on October 09, 2012, 02:44:49 PM

Didn't see this until today since I'm pretty inactive myself (well, at least with watching videos :euro: ).

You always had lots of really cool spots that I wish I thought of myself. Still going strong with that creative drive and always a nice guy to talk to (Just remembering your Octodad vid while typing this and I started to crack up  :lol: ).

Your grind to ledgegrind at the LC casino is probably my favorite stunt from you, although the dropbump where you "pixeled" the roof when landing looks pretty amazing too (don't remember seeing that one before). But then again that finisher was sorta... And the thing with the bus in the water... And the...

I could go on but I really have to get to bed. So to sum things up: You're amazing :cc_detective:
