[poll] The 'web-edit'

[Aaron]

It's a very common topic of discussion when someone releases a new edit.
How long did you work on it for?
Usually you can tell through the quality of the video, whether it was a short time, or a long time.
Ideally, people think it should be for a longer period of time than what is already used for most videos.
In my knowledgeable opinion (any lols?) i believe 3 months fills the quota for time spent on an edit intended to be uploaded for no purpose other than to show people out there what you can do.
Taking Benjamin Friant's series of Spring, winter and Autumn videos as the example i'll use.
The average rate of progression for most people only warrants a 3 month timeframe to film tricks that stay 'in-date' as to the riders present ability. So to best show the rider as a whole, no more, or less than 3 months of filming time should be used.
I know, it's probably not that big of a deal, and people will scan over this thread, and say "Aaron, shouldn't you have been doing homework or something instead of writing this stupid thread that i'm not even going to bother replying to?"
The answer my friends, is yes, i'm procrastinating, but doing something worthwhile instead of schoolwork, by giving you food for thought
Please vote and discuss the reasons why you should or shouldn't put more time into your videos.

im almost done my vid and ive been working on it for a good 3 and a half months... im heaps happy with it so far

 

[LukeMaff]

Lol, well i worked for 3 months, but then decided not to make it because it was really just progression, like. when i started i cud bri, now i can 360 bri and stuff so alot of footage was just shit

 

[Jordan Jasa]

i agree, about 3 months. every solid video i've put out (winter mini, autumn mini, TD part) took about 3 months to film. a lot of times you'll film a trick and then a month later it'll be obsolete.

 

[DMazz]

i rarely make good solid vids. if i do i usually film for around 2-3 months. but i make alot of vids in like 2 days or over a weekend or something just for something to do.

as long as it takes to be the best that it can.

 

[D= its sam!!]

maybe like 1-2 months

I'd say 3+, just because that's how long I've spent on both mine (mini 1 and the Proto webit). It's good to take longer on it, cause then you can have a greater variety of spots and tricks, instead of just filming one day at a couple parks when you're feeling a certain trick.

i take ages, i hardly film and am slowwwww

 

[Grahamk]

My last edit took one day hahah

 

[Matt Dibble]

I said 3+ months because in 4 and a half years riding i've released 4 mini videos, the first 2 of those shared some footage. Then my micro xt video was like a overlapping of all of my previous, with very few new clips.

i toook 3-4 months on my last one
and im editing mine this week thats been 5+months...

 

[Jason]

I'm not sure about this one. If all your tricks are in one spot and you can throw them down great, then record them in say a weekend, is that different to what you mean? Or if you go to lots of different spots and gradually work on tricks, then record your skills at one spot in a weekend?

I dunno, I think for a diverse mini vid of just yourself would be better with a range of spots, but if you do the recording in one or two days with everything you got I guess it counts aswell.

 

[Stanio]

if you know you can kill it you can make a web edit in less then a week

I've been working on my new "Web Edit" and its been about a month and I have a third
of it done. It should take me about 2-3 more months. If your making a "Video Part" for
a team, I think it should take longer. Maybe around 5-7 months?

Its just depends on how much effort your willing to put in. To be honest I can tell how
much quality and time someone puts into a video when I watch it. But on the other hand
some people can make an EDIT in like a week and it could be tight as shitt. Just depends
on your riding and how fast you can get it done.

But overall I think more time in videos make it better for the watcher and the person riding.
