fantastic editing you obviously spent alot of time on this one

btw, for those who enjoy video editing there are some terrific tutes on Video-copilot for doing this sort of stuff in abobe after effects, but still very very time consuming to achieve something like this.

looks tops!




Time consuming alright, some of that Twixtor (slow mo) stuff alone would have taken ages to achieve. And its not just about the software & pushing buttons. You need the vision & talent to do what Andy has done. I'm lucky enough to work with some of the best in the film business, & believe me Andy is right up there - Inspiring stuff, as I said before some one needs to give Andy a heap cash so he can just make films.

No-one could probably believe that you could actually do that amazing editing on your home computer, still need that creative brain though....awesome.

That's the flatwater spot for the local bandits.
I cruised over later that day after my sess at the point and checked Hadlow making movies.
They work hard those video-guys.

I knew this comment would come up eventually. Even if Aaron wanted to wave ride (which he probably wouldn't) it was mush that day, pretty onshore and frontal and Boatramps was the only place that would work. We were pretty lucky to get any wind at all, let alone two good sessions on one day, Margs in the morning and ahem the mystery spot in the afternoon.

I just gave up my daily 20 minutes YouPorn allocation to watch that.
Was it worth it?

Hell yeah and I still got a hard on anyway.

wow. Wow. WOW! Beautiful, beautiful work.

If this Andy bloke isn't doing this full time and getting paid well for it within a year there's something seriously wrong with this world.

Hey Gkram, are you gonna forward the link of Andy's work to your film friends?

I agree with the masses that Andy should be given an opportunity in the film industry... Imagine what he could do with a big budget and film crew.

Dunno what you do for a day job Andy, but you're needed in Hollywood!

cheers

I already have & did the same when Andy released 'The Western Shore'. They are blown away by it as much as I am. Its a hard industry to break into but I'm sure its only a matter of time before people want Andy to do their projects whether it be kiteboarding films, high end commercials or even features. Hopefully it will roll on from there for him.

Hey Andy you have done an awesome job. Anyone who has tried to edit video will appreciate how much work you have put in, well done. Definitely one of the best sports edits I have seen. As for Rick, that looked like it was done with a $300 camera, got 2 seconds in and wanted them back.

What program did you use Andy to edit, was it Vegas or Premiere? Or another one?

Again, well done.

Fantastic video. I particularly like the section at Margaret River. It was fantastic to see Aaron do a big loopy handpass thing and land neatly on the face of the swell.

The flat water parts are better than most instructional videos. You can really see how Aaron sets up each move.

Two things. I have a number of videos from other sports that start off really well then just run out of steam about 20 minutes in. You then have 20-40 minutes of boringness to finish out the video. I hope the finished version of In*Vent avoids that.

If you can stick to a groove-based sound track or have an alternate sound track. Its a bit of a turn off having yet another grungy thrash noise sound track (also avoid the obligatory ska humourous track.)

Well you can't please everyone. The hits on the Tool riffs work. I was struggling to find something for that section. At least the singer can actually sing. I wouldn't describe Tool as grungy thrash noise, they are a bunch of musos, but if you don't like their style, well you're not going to like it.

Finished version? That's it mate. It's an 8 minute stand alone video, it's not a trailer for something else. That's pretty much all the best shots I had from 3 sessions, there was only a few moves I left out. Making it longer would be padding.

Software wise Vegas, after effects, photoshop. As for Kitejam. I'm having a look at the footage but to be honest I don't think there's enough to do something with... it would be kiting to music with nothing else, I don't really like that kind of video

Cool. The web site said had some scribble and "out February". I assumed they were talking about the video. They must have been talking about the kite. We were all about to line up and give you money. Take our love instead.

Mate just watched it again, and will watch it heaps more for sure!
All I can say is thanks, incredible stuff, very creative use of effects, I hope you go far in that field if that is your passion.
