Cheers, Callum Swift

That looks mint Callum, good work!

good footage, bad music...some nice editing.....

Thought the music was ace myself? Will be watching that trailer a few more times for sure

i really enjoyed that, great camera work and editing, the music was good too, just didn't like how lo fi it was. look forward to seein the finished product.

two thumbs up.

Looks rubbish mate.....nah looks pretty cool, liking all the tight and twisty welsh stuff. Al bond's handlebars are comical.

cheers guys, few replies;

Supercross' point about it looking like its all been shot on a welsh mountain is good, mainly because for the most part its true!  Luckily I am leaving England next week for the summer to film in Andorra, spain, france , italy, slovenia and south Africa.  So I reckon they should be a bit of Variation!
Also using more tripod shots etc; Its difficult on a steep wet welsh mountain but dont worry I am into that s**t when the tracks right.
music s**t quality; i couldent find a download so i recorded it whilst playing which is not ideal, but iv ordered a cd.

cheers

my 2cents - dont hate me im a nice person

I think you need to give out jobs to people other than yourself I dont think the level of design / photoshop / typography work adds to the theme of it all at the moment, I would infact say it decreases it somewhat.

I cant comment on the song as I muted it after 20seconds - it really does sound like it was recorded on a mobile in the subway... really though get in touch with your audio because you need to realise the importance - great sound can carry the pace, feel and professional look of the film and poor sound will just distroy you and lose audience intrest at the first hurdle where as the picture can have somewhat a bit more leeway.

Its hard to judge editing on a teaser so as far as I can say is you have a few nice shots, steady hand and composition but like previously mentiond you need to set the scene on location more.

I think with all the rider access youve got and the mass of footage you must have it might be a good idea bringing an editor and music tech on board to solidify your film as its quite easy to get lost in the moment and have a b grade product

hope you dont mind too much what ive said i just dont see anypoint in suger coating stuff thats what friends and family are for.
