hellyer 216 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Nice vid, you guys def scored some of the good stuff... Was all of that filmed in Asahidake?? Looks like the Royal family's playground to me and I have been playing there for a while. Back there next Feb Great vid method - awesome editing Link to post Share on other sites
tripler 0 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I hope you don't mind some honest constructive criticism (if you do, just let me know and I'll amend these comments to "high 5" emucons and "dude, that's a totally awesome vid, bro" type inanities). 1) 90% of your video is pan-and-scan of stills (very boring). You should have put the photos in an album and cut 10 mins of cheesy pics of you and your mates down to 2 mins of film action. You have some great footage in there, just wish I hadn't had to sit though the stuff in between. (And even if you did have 10 mins of actual moving images, no-one would watch beyond 2 mins because that's the attention span for a youtube video.) 2) Wrong choice of music. I don't want to be distracted by some warbling diva/dude while I'm trying to concentrate on POW action. As a soundtrack I suggest ethnic drumming - Japanese or jungle tribes - for maintaining tempo without distracting from the images. Anyway, looks like you had a blast riding Myoko Akakura on a powder day - the best runs I've come across so far in Japan (though there's lots of places I haven't been to yet). I'm looking forward to the re-edit. Maybe I'll even do it myself Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Nice, Method. FFS, tripler - do you do anything other than moan, criticize others and their efforts, and attempt (but fail badly) at clever sarcastic humor? Ignore him, Method. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Nice, Method. FFS, tripler - do you do anything other than moan, criticize others and attempt (but fail badly) at sarcastic humor? Ignore him, Method. As well as all of these noble qualities, he also gets fired from employment in Shiga for being a dick! Link to post Share on other sites
tripler 0 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 G-G - no SKI - untrue. It was for ducking a rope, ostensibly... Method - sorry, that was a bit harsh - please accept my apologies. Happoshu... but really it was because you've got such great actual video in there it got me worked up seeing it diluted. ps. i'll be posting my masterpiece soon, so you're welcome to put the boot in Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Not untrue. Your dickishness after the fact is what got you sacked and got you your, er, reputation. And not everyone gets kicks by relentlessly 'putting the boot in' like you. Link to post Share on other sites

Method 0 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yes, it's not hard to see that some of this was filmed at Asahidake if you have been there. There are 7 other locations (3 on Honshu and 4 on Hokkaido) where this was taken, so get out there and find them this winter! Link to post Share on other sites
MrSingh 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Finally got around my lazy ass to edit 3 seasons of footage at Hakkoda. Oh well, that didn't seem to work. Here's the link: http://www.snowjapan...come_to_Hakkoda Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted October 24, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi there Mr Singh - thanks for the vid. You need to put snowjapan in square brackets before the clip and the same but with an additional forward slash before the word after the clip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

hellyer 216 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Very nice job Mr Singh, def worth waiting for. What brand cam did you use & what editing program? Link to post Share on other sites
MrSingh 0 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks for the kind comments folks. The footage came from various devices. 4:3 aspect ratio footage was taken from a friend's old school JVC DVD quality (720x480 progressive) DVCAM. 16:9 aspect ratio footage came from a 3 year old Canon IVIS AVCHD camera, most of the footage was recorded at 9Mbps 1080p 30fps, I should have recorded at 25Mbps!! The 1st person footage (they look kind of blurry due to the fixed focus nature of the lens) is 1080p 30fps footage from a Contour VHoldR 1080p head mounted cam. Software - Sony Vegas Pro 9. The non-pro $99 Vegas Movie Platinum works just as well, but I already splurged on the pro version for some other video work. It is one of the best Non Linear Editors I've used, especially for editing high definition footage. Native file format support is fantastic! Just drag and drop the files into the media bin and start editing away! What I've learned is that shooting video footage is a lot of hard work, and definitely gets in the way of riding. Less than 10% of the footage is usable, and probably less than 1% of the footage can be considered decent. Oh well, lots to learn! Link to post Share on other sites
marku 0 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Mr.Singh, you obviously know your way around Hakkoda pretty well, Is it the kind of place you need local knowledge to find the good stuff or can you poke around and find it yourself. Just wondering as I may be heading up there at some point. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
