Hi all, Marcus here, I think you all know me already as the guy that does the god awful commentary .
Here is a vid I quickly put together minus the commentry, lol. I shot this footage on the same day as I shot "30+knots @ Caloundra" video, (boy did that one cause a stir, lol) www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=61660
I could have spent a little more time on this video polishing it up but it got to late last night so what you see is what you get, lol. Anyway I hope you enjoy the video, cheers Marcus.
much better but just were did you come up with the wind speed because it jumped up bye 2knots in this video, so have we real proof of the speed or was it more a guess (33plus in first 35 plus in 2nd video) nice footage like the vid
Typ-o. You don't miss a thing lol.
I have changed my mind, if everyone likes it, then I like it too , Marcus, come here so I can give you a big man hug
How about showing us some of your dirt bike '2 stroke' vids marcus in the general section. Mike is very smooth but I'm afraid its 4ft at best - not 3m (10ft).
Ok will do.
Yeah well, lol. I did get a little carried away with the 3m thing, but I swear some of the sets were big man.
Was a vast improvement minus the really annoying looped sound track WTF and the overuse of special affects,
The looped track is to throw off youtube, if I put the whole song on then they may mute my clip, besides I through this one together late last night in a bit of a hurry. The special effects are for the a.d.d people to keep them interested, lots of flashers and bright colours, lol.
ok then but dont squeeze to hard, I'm still sore from the beating you gave me yesterday, lol. www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=61660
Are you sure that isn't Andy Murray the tennis player .I heard that he was a kiter for r and r and was still in Australia .Not a bad effort either for something thrown together overnight .I think classical music is a bit more appropriate for wave riding if you want to be a bit more original
here he is hahahah, couldn't help yourself could you dusted. You had to click on the post that said "by Marcus". I thought you didn't like my posts/video'. Its seems that you do like my post afterall. Im glad you are learning some respect calling me sir, about time. But for your own sanity and peace of mind I advise you NOT to clink on any post that says "by Marcus". now I don't want to see you here again.
Good health to you dusted, cheers Marcus.
Marcus, your major problem is you're competing with Aussie film makers like Andy Gordon who produce some of the best videos in the world. Add that to the likes of some of Len10's megaloop movies and the stylish moves of Dre hitting kickers and sliders and suddenly anything else becomes a bit ordinary.
This should be your goal
That was epic man...I have never seen a sports video that well done. I am guessing it would have cost big bucks to produce something like that and they must be useing the very latest software....thanks for sharing. I don't know whether I should give up trying to make amater kite vid's after watching that one. Think I'll go watch it again. cya.
Stick with it mate.
The quality was not as good as the Hadlow one but I could not watch the whole thing whereas I am not looking for my three minutes back after watching yours. Did not go much on the effects or the music and agree that classical would be better but the content was good.
You've got to start somewhere!
Thanks heaps for the support guys, and those video's from Andy Gordon were nothing short of brilliant, gunna watch them again for inspiration. Cheers Marcus
Hey Marcus,
Dont listen to the muppets bagging your videos mate, they prob would'nt take the time stand on the shore and shoot footage when the winds up!! untill they do they cant say jack shyt!!!. Come up to cotton tree some day when the winds blowing, there's heaps of guys doing pretty cool stuff for you to shoot.
Keep up the good work. i thought the crazy black and white effects stuff was pretty cool.

Thanks for the invite. I have a little bit of video footage from up at cotton tree but it was pritty lite wind at the time so nothing outstanding was happening but the next time it realy blows I'd be more than happy to come up and get some awesome footage.
I bought another camera from Hong Kong this time a waterproof one so hopfully I can get out on the water and follow some great kiters to get some truely awesome footage. Cheers Marcus
keep it up mate, dont worry about the baggers they are just a bunch of try hards until they put up or shut up
No one can make anything as good as Andy Gordon so dont even try just keep posting your own amateur stuff, its way better than half the lame topics getting around here an its always good for a laugh too.
Good work.
Thanks Blownaway
Hey thats an outstanding shot of the silhouette kitesurfer and the setting sunset, I am wondering where that was taken, Noosa river mouth I'm guessing?
Hey Marcus thanks for shooting me that day. nice job editing and putting it together. luv ya work. for an impromptu shoot after a long kite (for both of us), that no-one was expecting, plus a short turn over time on the edit- youve done well. To be constructive - IMO the effects are a little heavy. could be more wide/close/wide/close shots. lots of close or wide is harder to watch and gives less perspective.
but more than anything im stoked you were there to capture the action. anyway thanks again and good job.
Come to the Thriller Party on the 27th - beach party and near full moon. Yewww
mike
yewwwww!
marcus your a legend mate.
was stuck at work that 30+ knot day but am stoked to see what i mised out on.
thanks for posting, cant wate to see more vids
