I've made some basic footage I'd like you guys to check out. These are my first two videos, I'll be making more as I progress throughout the game.

I'd think you'd get more feedback if you made full videos or filmed bigger gaps. I do think you have potential with the game, but right now the clips you posted just aren't very remarkable.

Not bad, could have tricked out a lot more, for instance, on your last vid you could have tricked off the rail, and the abc gap you could have tricked that too, you definitely have potential, keep it up dude!

Some cinematography lessons could be in order. When a clip starts out already at 50% speed (or whatever you had it at), I almost immediately lose interest. It's much more exciting to start the lead-up at normal speed and then do a camera cut while changing to 50% or less speed...it's like bullet time or something. This is especially apparent in your third clip; I don't want to watch your guy push in slow-mo for 10 seconds before any tricks happen. Immediately after you land, ramp it back up to normal speed, possibly with another camera cut to lead us out.

Second, this is a video game. While those might be cool clips in real life, they are just not cool enough for a video game (sorry). More tricks are in order. In your first one, you just ollied a big gap, rode up a half-pipe, and did a pretty interesting flip, but we couldn't even see you land.

The second clip really wasn't bad, but see my first paragraph about speed and such.

The third clip is not really interesting at all. You did a kickflip over a dumpster and did a 50-50 to a 5-0 grind before ollie-ing off the rail. Again, cool in real life but not in a video game. Protip: boardslides make great videos.

You're at least starting, and utilizing the replay editor fairly well. Keep changing ideas up and you'll be fine. :)

Thank you all very much for you comments. Your creative criticism is very much appreciated.

I would like to point out that these clips are just a learning curve for myself. I've only had the game two days. What I'd like to do is build up enough experience with good spots and master the controls of this game, before making and saving enough short videos that I can combine them into a very good 'video part' as though my skate had his own spot on a sponsorship DVD.

I know they're only basic videos I've posted, which could've had much more complex tricks or creative spots - but I'm just getting myself used to the editor. I've downloaded the new extended editor from XBL today. I will use that to make each 'mini segment' of the video, before downloading them and running them through a converter to piece them all together in QT Pro.

Once again, thanks for the comments guys.

Kinda off topic, but if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it...

I downloaded the Filmer pack, I've read that I should be able to do much longer video clips, but they're still only every 20 - 30 seconds!

Does anyone know about this and how I can get longer clips?????

From what I understand - the add on pack does not allow longer clips, just gives you more 'space' on the .reel 'server' - allowing you to have more clips than a standard account. I believe they give you 5 minutes. Instead of the standard 1.
I'm not sure how correct this is though.
