[Squidly Didly]

Looooking good Oliver... You should of put the Lithgow footage in :mad:, im highly dissapointed ..... I liked your secret epic track, i wanted to see you on your hardtail pinning it down there. You said it was harder than it looks, im going to have come up there and see for myself.

Your filming was great, i know you were under time constraints so you couldn't reshoot anything. Excellent work Oliver, can't wait till the next project. it's going to be a killer :D

Cheers

Well done on producing the movie, I really want to see it!

However, i can't download 280mb, are you going to release this movie on DVD? or at least put it on google video.

I think you are really restricting your audience by releasing it this way.

[Balfa_Oli]

Well done on bringing the second one out.
I have seen the first little bit of it and it seems pretty good.
You should bring it out on DVd as i reckon you'd get a much broader audience then just the members on farkin.
Look foward to seeing the whole film and your next production.

[DWN-HLR]

that is the coolest video i have ever seen..anywhere i can see no.1

[olly1oo6]

If all goes to plan I will be putting up a somewhat smaller copy online at a later date. I do encourage you if at all possible to opt for the larger one, as I've put a lot of time into the production values, colour and image quality, which will be quickly lost when I drop below the 100mb mark:)

The video is around 18 minutes long, so its not 280mb without reason, however for those who reeeally cant download something this big (which I understand) I will aim to put up a smaller copy next week.

Also, I might be authoring a few DVDs for distribution through some local Sydney bike shops and via postage for those who really want it. Probably will be fairly cheap too.

Thanks for your input!:)

[Plow King]

Ow, my bandwidth.

210mb done. only 50 minutes left.

[hayd]

210mb done. only 50 minutes left.

lucky you. 65mb done, and only 2hrs and 6mins left

[Scott]

Pfft.... if I had my way it'd be bigger.... times change people.... grow a broadband connection.

[DWN-HLR]

yeah mine was done in 32 min my connection downloads at 180 kbps all the time

[Plow King]

Amazing.

You outdid yourself Olly.

Excelent video.

[Alec McJo]

That was fucking sick!

[thecat]

I actively discourage everyone form doing anything. Stay at home. Safety first people.

Nice theft of my quote.:cool:



Olly, bloody nice work!!!

[.:Easily:.]

i just watched it and i can say that it was friggin awesome

the camera work was exelent and the angles were great

cant wait for the next one

[k3n!f]

Awesome filming, editing and riding. Very tidy production. Totally worth the download.

Hilltops pride!

[Bikexanathan]

That was really really cool!

Some great angles, and colours - makes the places and rides look so fresh.

If you were after some constructive criticism I would say that some of the scene changes could have had more flow to them i.e fading the music and or images.

That said the overall level of editing was very high.

Top stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!

[redracer]

Aragah,

For some strange reason, I don't think my dialup is going to take this download to well. Currently downloaded 16% in the past 4 hours.

(Stupid Rawnet.)

(Ps. Any screenshots I can have a look at, whilst I'm awaiting my download to finish)

Thanks, Chris

[DWN-HLR]

[hubbie]

[hubbie]

seamless matey-o! to be continued.... i like that idea! Didn't expect no titles though, and that you didnt use the interviews. stoked it's out mate! good work

That bloke, Will, on the Brakeless bmx at Red Hill is crazy, seen him take a few rough ones at mona :p

[i bins d i bins]

its soo good

[Air time erik]

That was a great watch, loved 2minutes to midnight by iron madian, one of their best songs...why is everyone complaining only took my computer 20mins to download it!!:p

[olly1oo6]

Thanks for the replies everyone.:) I couldn't have made anything without the time and effort from all the riders in the film, and everyone else who helped me through critiques and opinions.

This was the last Perspective video, after this I am moving on toward a release, which I will be working on for the next few years.

[DWN-HLR]

good luck olly i hope to see your next vid in LBS :D

[DHbob]

yeh that was sik just wish the sections were longer kinda like wow thats over already

[Spoolin]

Awesome Olly, not much more I can say!... oh... but that Chris guy, riding the street, he sucked! all he could do was 180 off things and fall over.

I think you have a awesome eye and should keep doing what you love so much!

I will speak to you soon.

:)

[rockyash]

Respect.
you got some skills olly,
All the best with your future filming.

Was a pleasure to watch, loved the panning shots.

[kyleman]

9 hours ey...just hope the power doesnt go out..
:eek:
Better be fucking good..lol jokes:p

[kinga]

[kyleman]

[nicho]

Olly well done man. it s absolutely ace. this movie is really well done.
Thank you for the props. I really apreciate it.

See you soon.

nicho

[HBT]

Fantastic video, can't wait to see the rest. Quality camerawork and editting. Great music selections for the most part. You really did well by the riders to shoot them at what looks like dusk when there's really good light (or fake it with good post production).

As a fellow mtb filmer I would only suggest slightly longer delays between segments, some titles (or a narration track), and that's about it.

One question: This was shot on HDV I assume? If so, what cam? If you shot on DV then bravo, you did a REALLY good job controlling the light in the shots and post processing to get really good color.

Again, great job!

[olly1oo6]

HBT: It was actually shot on DV, I use a Panasonic GS500. I did indeed shoot as much as I could in the late afternoon, and all those scenes turned out great. I couldn't afford that luxury for every scene but its always something to learn from.

So far a few people have mentioned the short scene changes, and the want of a few titles. I will definetly take that advice into consideration for the next video, thank you for the feedback.:)

[HBT]

Olly: Thanks for the info. I'm really impressed. Looks really good for DV. Having now watched it a TON of times I have some more constructive feedback for ya you may appreciate.

The scene with the White Stripes song, I thought you went a bit overboard with the saturation. Also, DV compression really murders red tones and orange, so you may want to avoid (in the future) having a rider in a red top as it ends up looking like a big red mass of pixels.

The first dirt jumping scene had a bit too aggressive saturation bump too. I only noticed because the rider's face looked a bit Umpa Lumpa ya know? Hehehe.

Overall though, like I said before it's a great effort. You have a nice blend of Alex Rankin Earthed series and The Collective. Basically the exact look I shoot for too, though I'm not as stead as you are and I can't afford a boom crane for Collective style shots. Hehehehe.

[seanus]

Congrats Olly,great work,loved it!

[trouble]

Just wondering, on both oxford falls parts with Tom Patton, where are those tracks in Oxford, especially the one in the end of the 2nd section of oxford where Patton does an 'E.T' (whats that) is it the gap jump? oh and where is the track 'black betty'? that track looks so well built,thumbs up to whom ever built it.

thanks

[mtb_biker]

Whats the first song that is played in the video? Is there a song list?

[Muz]

Great vid Olly. Looks so pro!

The first dirt jumping scene had a bit too aggressive saturation bump too. I only noticed because the rider's face looked a bit Umpa Lumpa ya know? Hehehe.

Hey, Don't tease! Maybe the rider likes to apply lots of fake tan!

I can't afford a boom crane for Collective style shots. Hehehehe.

Neither can Olly.... ;) You'd be amazed what some planks of timber, screws, nuts and bolts can produce! You should patent it Olly.

[crozzo]

dude i farkin love the camera angles you used it loooks so great, very well done :D

[technoboy]

woooooooooooohooooooooooooo! nice work Olly!!!
I'm stoked!!!! my trails look mint!!! bwahahahaha

sweeeeet! I love that berm, it makes you not die:p You guys do good work. If one day Oxford ever gets "legalised, we are going to have the biggest, most insane spawnsored build day there, ever!

Thanks all for replies again! Dale and Dave, thanks again for coming out and filming, wish I could have got another better filmed seggy of rh, but at least the riding made it mad!

[kidafa]

sorry for such a late reply olly but awesome video..... Camera angles, sound track, editing and riding all superb! keep it up. Good to see another cane corso ripping it up too ;)

richo

[manika]

Hey thats an awsome video. That last track looked so sweet.
Can the first movie be downloaded anywhere?

[Lleyt0n]

Which one was dale in the red hill section good builder that bloke commited for that i have respect for

[Downhill Domination]

Mate you are a legend!!! Putting this on the net for free download!! You have made my school holidays go from excellent, to extravagent!!! :D
The whole soundtrack is a killer!! Especially "Painted By Numbers".
My mate had that on his video up Keira. Such a good song! :D

[g-fish]

That was a great watch, loved 2minutes to midnight by iron madian, one of their best songs...why is everyone complaining only took my computer 20mins to download it!!:p

20 minutes!!! thats forever ive downloaded 25% in 2 minutes, cmon people go out and get a high speed broadband stay with the times. Cant wait to see it, sounds mad.

[g-fish]

an hour to download thats forever ive downloaded 25% in 2 minutes, cmon people go out and get a high speed broadband stay with the times. Cant wait to see it, sounds mad.

EDIT: ahh hhhhhhhhh that was fucking insane, the quality of riding and filming and editing is up there with new world disorder and the earthed series.

*claps*

[trouble]

Well guys I dunno what your running but for some reason mine downloaded really fast like 7minutes for all of it? Some songs I download take like 5minutes and they are only like 5megs or so. Anyway Olly I have said it before,
pure brilliance

[saMfish]

Wow... there's some serious talent shown in that movie, not only riders, but Olly as a producer/editor/director. As a film-maker myself (albeit not on such a scale), I know how hard it can be to produce a film of such magnitude. Huge props man. Well done.

Edit: Oh by the way, what kind of camera are you using? I'm currently tossing up buying a video camera or a photo camera (~$700-1200 range). Looking at the Canon 400D (photo camera) by the way for anyone that's interested.

[Tristan23]

Olly I love you and I want to touch you! You're my hero and I want to go up on a roof and tell the world!
