You have to eliminate the camera shake, makes it very hard to watch. I think i would try backing away from the road a bit would maybe help some. Also the focus was not great either, many scenes were very blurry. Not sure how you set up but when i take i use the infinate distance focus setting. The action, editing, and music was pretty good, but the blur and shake made it hard to watch.

Hope thats not too harsh, but trying to be honest with ya.

no its not to harsh

constructive critisism is always welcome

yeah it was kinda hard to focus the camera since it was just a regular digital camera from walmart

i think a good tripod would probably help with the shaking and ill have to look into the infinate focus setting

thanks

a tri-pod will only be good for sideline shots, and when these guys learn how to ride BP and maybe do circles then you wont even use it

Getting the wheelies to balance point would mean the camera man wouldnt be having to turn so fast as the riders fly by and you would get much better shots. It all comes with practice. Always cover the rear brake and dont be doing any tank tricks unless you have a handbrake and the basic knowledge of how to use the brake to keep from looping.

it was nice until the zx12 looped out going like 60 flipped 5 times about 40 feet between impact points and at times i no the bike was higher in the air than i am tall so now there are chunks missing from the road it broke a chunk out of the block just totaled the whole bike but because he had at least some gear on (vest helmet) he jumped right up got a little rashed and was sore the next day

he said it was his ipod he got to into the song "im so hood"

we where all just glad we only took the bike back to his house in pieces and not him

I agree with the shake. Get a Tri-pod. Also, get some moving shots by either following on another bike and have the passenger film, or get a go-kart for the lower shots. Don't face the sun, it puts a glare on the screen.
The choice of music was awesome tho.
Just keep it up. Practice makes perfect.
Good work bro.
