Title: "The Dance"
Post by: jhaines on August 20, 2005, 09:19:43 PM

OK folks, this is my very first stunt video, but I think it turned out pretty well.  I'll warn you up front that I'm more interested in difficult jumps with landings that stick, rather than the "ram into a curb and see how many times you can flip around" sort of thing.  That said, I'd be interested in any feedback you have to offer.

Here's the link:  http://files.filefront.com/GTA_TheDancemov...;/fileinfo.html (http://files.filefront.com/GTA_TheDancemov/;4051477;;/fileinfo.html)

The video is a ~55MB .mov file. If you're having trouble viewing it in Windows, you'll probably need QuickTime, which is available here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html)

Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks -- I was really happy with that one.

Sorry, but I'm on a Mac, so I can't author .wmv files.  And QuickTime's quality-to-size ratio seems to be better than Windows Media anyway...

I had a blast watching this vid. It was one of the best 'first' stunt videos I've seen. The stunts weren't the most spectacular, but they were very good and I liked the variety of both stunts and locations. The music was a great choice and it set a good pace for the vid which you edited to very well. The fact that these stunts were recorded on the PS2 kinda surprised me. You got pretty good looking quality for PS2 stunts. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see your future vids!

The music was a refrehing change, and worked surprisingly well, I enjoyed the variety of stunts, and the parachute bits were a good change of pace. Best bit? Parking the boat! It made me laugh, but in a good way.

On a second viewing alot of the stunts seem pretty simple. Still a refreshing change but yeah hope to see more improvements with every future vid

My movie's been posted in several places and downloaded over 400 times now, and you two are the first to even mention the boat stunt!  That was definitely one of my favorites too -- glad you liked it.

Post by: Omni on August 23, 2005, 04:27:32 AM

It was an ok vid...Not much editing going on though... The stunts wwere kinda cool, some really easy, some kinda hard and original..its cool to see some parachuting :P The music was an ok choice also.

As I have now adopted Marklunds harsh rating system this gets a 5.5/10. GJ.

I am not picking on anyone here,but if someone gives this 8/10 and then compares it to lets say the recent community vid XXL wich they gave a rating of 9/10...doesn't you thought of this videos rating actually decrease..because you think the best stunters in the word made a video wich i rated 9/10 and i just rated a beginner 8/10.

actually, were rating it on the stunters usual level. since he's a beginner, he gets a higher rating.

I found it fresh and original, dude.  Good editing and a good choice music too.

The stunts looked pretty easy.

Overall, it was awesome for a first video.

Title: "The Dance"
Post by: jhaines on August 23, 2005, 09:12:32 AM

Thanks again for the compliments.

The stunts looked pretty easy.

Then I did my job well.   B)

Yeah, a couple of the stunts were straightforward and I just used them because I liked the way they looked.  But several of them -- the cable jump on the Garver Bridge (side view, stuck landing), the awning of the Four Dragons (no traffic cheats, stuck landing), the billboard drops (stuck landings), the boat park, and the Angel Pine jump (NRG at high speed on uneven grass with an unreliable launcher) -- were really, really hard to pull off.  And a lot of the other stunts were still pretty tough.  Also remember that I'm doing this on the PS2 version.

I'd encourage you to try a few of those and then tell me if you still think they're easy...  :blink:

Well i wasn't sure, some people do not think like that, they think wow that is great and then they see one wich is miles better and then give it a rating of one more than they did for the first video they saw.

I thought this was pretty good, especially seeing as it was on PS2.

Next time use WMV because most people here dont have QuickTime, for the people who want to see the video but dont want QT: google QuickTime Alternative, its a QT codec so you can watch all the QT files but dont have to download the QT with all the extra-bull.Beefloafing.

I liked the angle you did going up the bridge(ps2)and the video was clean for being ps2, and i seen it on you tube,so i know it's even better then that as far as that go's.
BUT
I dissagree with what most people said,i found this video to be very,very boring stunt wise.
I don't see how this was "fresh" and "new"  most of the stunts(even the dive into pool)have been done many many times.(except a couple,but they were easy)
I can't say too much because it is a begginer video,so i have to credit that.

I'm glade more videos are being posted,i was getting board  

Thank you for sharing! good begginer video

EDIT:i see he is not comming back,shame.

no its not mine read the youtube details it says credits go to its original creator ' jhaines 'would i be reallly saying such stuff about my own work i really consider it an awsome awsome video because it has such a great feeling with less-than-awsome stunts,its just great oldschool stunting and i still think it kicks modern vids' ass

Title: "The Dance"
Post by: Juan on September 05, 2006, 11:03:05 PM

I would have been impressed if this had been released at the very start of SA stunting but it wasnt. It was released almost a year later after SA for ps2 came out. I consider Here to Stay to be the best ps2 vid.

I can't say anything bad about that video, it was really great. But still, I don't call the new stunters who has 300+fps and do some massive air bumps faggots just because they like it. Good that Taz doesn't have 300+fps then
