Also reviews and tutorials could be boiled down into way broader categories. What Im trying to figure out more is that, is it just strictly flipping videos and manipulations or could we put videos just showing the balisong close up with no talking (show off type videos). There are plenty of videos out there that arent flipping videos and arent reviews but more of an "in between" as well as flipping videos that arent tutorials but are relatively close to them. like some of my earlier tutorials were basically tricks done over and over with no talking and if the word "tutorial" was taken out the viewer would think it was just a trick demonstration. There needs to be a more detailed list of what to submit and what not to submit. So before we let ourselves get all indignant on eachother, lets discuss what this thread really is about.
hmmm interesting read.
I shouldn't have made this thread this fast, that's for sure. there is a bit of lack of action in the mod team, and I wanted to compensate that. My vision on flipping is far more different than I imagined.
basically, bitehandle/ vincent_dark's last video was the example I had in mind, and since there are, imo, enough other places to post other videos, I thought it was clear.
I don't really like the cuts thread, I don' really see why it should be in "the art of flipping". it's a good laugh, I agree, but it doesn't need much attention imo, we want to show our ability, not our inability
What I can do, however, let people post their videos, and I or Fke will put them in the first post of this thread. I don't think we need a sub forum for every type of video. If we continue like this, everyone on this board would want their own subsection, and every single trick would be stickied (the wiki still needs all of our work). it is a discussion board, not a database (in my eyes)
for tutorials, there is the tutorial collection thread(which needs updating I know). a clip where people show a trick, and then a slow motion is not a tutorial however, and should not be posted in the tutorial section, but in the large "the art of flipping one".
The purpose of this thread wasn't posted clearly, I admit that.But I don't see why people get their panties in a bunch because of my "smart-ass response". I thought this place was known for its atmosphere and loose banter...
we don't get indignant towards eachother because we know that people "fuck around" over here.
I hope no offense was taken
I'll post a more structured plan when I have more time
/unstickied and open for discussion
