 The filming was shoddy, even the 'still' shots shook about. The editing was OKAY, the slowmo was weirdly blurry, and the song is well overused....


But i LOVED it Smile

flag mechanicaleyemedia (Sep 15, 2011 at 18:24)
 @boostmaster, you of all people should know that music is the toughest thing to choose when it comes to editing, we collaboratively felt that this song suited the riding and trail type. dont call unoriginality until you stop using top 40s instrumentals.....
  • + 1
flag boostmaster (Sep 16, 2011 at 1:33)
 well I have my reasons for my song choices and you have yours, the only thing that makes this song choice unoriginal is the fact that everyone keeps using it. Whereas no one has used those songs that I used in some of my videos lately. The fact that a song is popular on the radio does not make it an unoriginal choice, (depending on the song, it could be a very original choice!) I love seeing videos with popular music that I heard on the radio before, that's just my style, until its overused of course. It doesn't take much to be overused.

I agree that this music fits well and everything, but sometimes that's not a enough of a reason to use a song.

flag mechanicaleyemedia (Sep 16, 2011 at 4:15)
 well we both have our opinions on the music, between the three of us there was major debate whether we should use this song, its not like this was our first thought for music, but in the end when it came down to it we went with because we didnt find anything that quite worked like this one.

flag FilipStarcevic (Sep 18, 2011 at 13:53)
 GC Crew the song is the tits, regardless if it has been used 3000 times it is still a better choice than Katie Perry and Lady Gaga. Boostmaster u should listen to something other than the Beat and Virgin radio, cuz there are alot of better songs on the radio to be used
