first of all i am very jealous that you have grown up/live in that area

What?

well...if you are going to do a film including dog-town skate/surf culture...you obviously must live/have lived there to do so

for a "test" i feel it is fine...the grainy effect looks quite good, however, i wouldn't have it on the magic parts...it could be a bit hard to follow, if people have bad eye site etc.

if you do intend on making a "proper" promotional video, then again i wil say more magic

No the magic will be filmed clear shot, just the transitions will be 8mm, the vid online looks really grainy but thats also due to web quality aswell...

I have not lived there no lol, I wish, I just love the ethos of it all, and am very much into my surfing and skating xxx

I like that you're trying something different but I would say Lee Asher's stuff is quite different from other DVDs. I cannot be one to say since I don't have any of his DVDs but from what I've heard....

And I wouldn't call those magic DVDs "crappy"... Maybe it's not your style but no need to say that. I'm sure you've learnt a lot from these so called "crappy" DVDs too?

ps. There's an EDIT button on the top right of your post so that you can edit your posts rather than double posting.

After understanding what you are doing I will comment on the clip its self. I think the film work is excellent and although I personally am not into the surf skate scene, I am looking forward in seeing the finished vid. The fact that in this clip you elude to magic by the card shot makes things a little more intreging (cant spell). Well done.

Thanks again guys for comments...

Going off the criticisms of not enough magic and more onto surfing (secrectly - ), I go down cornwall quite a bit, what beach did you go down to get the shot of the surfer?
