The Return of Ayreon - Solo (NOT a teaser this time, lul)

im back. put together a return video. turned out pretty good if i say so. it feels really good to be back after such a long time.



Id advise against watching it full screen. You cant tell the frame rate is lower with it embedded. but its more apparent when its full


http://youtu.be/Zw2ZIhzjDK0



These clips were uploaded directly to youtube from my ps3 then to my computer. they did not pass through the skate reel. The quality off youtube is a bit less than the skate reel. And the frame rate is lower too. there is nothing I could do about that. for some reason im not able to upload anything to the reel, so it was this, or nothing. and its not that bad.

For a minute i was about to post lord of the rings clips in this. The one scene where Gandalf returns hahah.
But then the video was a bit too good for it so i just decided to post a picture of return of the boyband.

Well. I really liked the video man. So glad to see you fakeskating after a long break. Looks REALLY fresh. Maybe thanks to that break huh ?
At 3:58 i realized that i'm not the only person wearing sunglasses in the dark lol. Liked all those small filler shots with bite of humour in them.

Overall greatest return this year. 6/5

Welcome back man, I liked it alot.
Looking forward to seeing you able to do stuff again.

There were some interesting tricks in there
Fastplant, bonk.. (blunttap?)
Footplant, tail on the fence was such a big fucking trick for that tiny area. Loved that bit.
I think when anyone comes back after a while they tend to settle for certain clips because of it.
I've done it myself. Just need to get back into that banger, intentional mindset.
Maybe throw some variations of things in there so you really drive home what you meant to do.
Otherwise, A Good edit. I enjoyed watching it.

Pretty solid comeback dude. Lots of good clips from just a couple short weeks. Figure you must of had plenty of ideas getting right back in to it.
My one regret is that I have no candy for you.

lotta fancy blunt variations Ay,but you're rusty as hell:p
haha,welcome back man!

I really am never sure how to take your posts dude. Pretty much every trick was intentional. Im not going on accidental tricks. The only one that was a bit of luck was the revert to manny to tail stall near the end there where i was hitting the spot inside the building at the old factory. and Powerslides into blunts is fucking hard from odd angles. And the last nose to tail without an ollie hit that ledge ive never seen anyone touch before.

You did say you enjoyed it, for that I am happy.

I didn't want to go into detail because I did like the edit.

Just so you see where I'm coming from..
The shuv at about 1:13? Mongo push, Late.
2:18 You stop entirely.. and these things continue to happen in different situations.
2:23 Just looks accidental..
If they were all intentional cool. It's not how it looks to me however.
Just add variations of the same sequence, Refine your craft.
I respect that you skate differently but without those variations
it's going to look like random happenings and if it's all on purpose
it shouldn't be much harder to make these things happen.
I'm working at this myself.
You can't predict what people will think..
Just take it for what it is, use it or dismiss it.
I'm just telling you this is how I used to go about things
I had forgotten how to drive it home and now that I remember I'm just telling you
because it looks similar to my situation, that's all.

oh ok. I hope i didnt come across as all butt hurt lol. I just was confused.

1:13 you got my there. it wasnt a mongo. it was a no comply to shuv that was accident number 2. happy accidents happen. looked really awesome tho like he was kicking the board. my lighting fast thumb made it happen tho :cool:
2:18 was a powerslide to stall. I wanted to hit the low ass ledge under that rail.
And 2:23 wasnt accident at all. it was a powerslide to stall. I like going in things with no ollie. looks smooth....well, looks smooth to me anyways. if it seems like an accident, maybe not lol.

could use more variation when it comes to more lines. I really hate lines. I feel everyone else does enough lines so i hit small weird shit. cant really get small shit into lines. and i got a little crazy with powersliding into shit ahhaa.

thanks man

Been keeping this on the backburner for when I was really eagerly awaiting it haha, song choice was sick, lots of great angles and filming, liked the manual tricks because I'm awful at them lol. Couple of the tricks were a little wierd, maybe didn't really feel like tricks to me lol, like that plant in the little ditch thing at 2:30. That line at 3:00 is nuts though, the double grind on the bench really killed it. Not sure how you pulled off that handplant/bail to rewind and make haha, must be 2 clips but the angle is perfectly similar, puzzled me on that one.

Everything was sick like always, great cinematic shots and editing, I wish it went out with more of a banger and what not, seemed to just kind of fade off but I enjoyed it a lot, always look forward to your stuff and it's great seeing you skate again instead of just editing community stuff lol. Keep em coming! :cool:

hahah no one likes my powerslide to the stall under the rail at 2:30 :(

I admit its a weird trick but thats exactly why I did it.

But yah now that i think of it that line you mentioned at 3:00 should have been the banger. that for the fence foot plant to stall like a few mentioned

I faded out the clip at the ebd cause the song faded out. I just love that song so after the clip I focus on the guitaring haha. thats just me.

thanks for the review

edit

Unlike a magician, I shall reveal my secrets. here is that full handplant clip. just have the bail and trick in one upload. cur the clip up, and reverse it. done and done

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4XBcpQ4dv0

thought i replied earlier... great watch (again) good to see you being able to fakeskate again. i demand MORE!

im uploading as we speak....its just broll but yah, im stock piling on it hahaahaha

dope video glad to see your still around loved the stalls and the unique approach on the spots

I feel unique is the best complement I can get. thanks a ton man.

Yeah, it totally needed more dick..

Great to see you're back in action. Now all I need is a fucking mic and I'll finally be able to sesh with your beautiful booty.
