For the new gen: What is Fluckit style?

[DonVigo]

One beauty of fluckit is: there is no one style. Just a bunch of dudes bringing there own flavor to the site. There is no conforming to one specific style here, because everyone does what they want to do.

Regardless of how you go about it, effort is what makes a video. If your video was lacking, someone will give you a tip on how to improve.

Just do what you do, and feel free to ask for help.

In that case, I guess I'll just suck up my pride and ask... What the fluck does a guy have to do to get some feedback on his work around here?!

I'd like to think I've really gotten into a good stride, and a large part of that comes from observing the vets' work and trying to pick up on the styles that inspire me to go sink hours into my box rather than my local park, but aside from my homies (who I love, don't get me wrong) from my other community, I'm getting fluckall for critiques. I'm not sure if it's a matter of being well enough known to get a crowd to watch my stuff, or if the lack of commentary is for the sake of "it's okay," but I was REALLY hoping some of the guys I'm e-looking up to could give me a little push to get to their level.

I don't want to come off like a whiney bitch or anything, but like I said, I came here to improve my efforts in this quasi-art, and I'm sure I do a little bit at a time, but I know there's some dudes with a badooky of tricks in their sleeves around here... And I'd love to have some of them in mine.

That being said, I just hope I'm contributing enough to be worth the whine. I live my life by the "don't be that guy" rule, and bringing this up makes me feel like "that guy."

Just keep posting man. Post replies to others vids, be honest but polite with your critiques. Try to see about seshing with others and keep putting out vids. Even if you're not getting feedback, you're likely getting views. Eventually you'll get what you're looking for.

Though, I generally get less than 10 replies per vid posted so I may not be the example to follow lol.

i'd say just keep at it, if you are getting better and improving the views and comments will come.
There's just tonnes of guys here that have been making great vids for years,(im sure for some guys it's in the hundreds)
its not fair to the new guys, a lot of decent, or even good vids can get overlooked.

Speaking personally, and not about your vids, but just in general. If I can't get through the whole video, if there were no real "banger" tricks and it was just good or average I tend to not say anything. Nobody wants to give a purely negative review, as constructive and polite as it may be, especially the way some people take criticism.

Usually what i look for in a video is just having your own unique style, no matter what it is, tricks that are difficult, one of a kind or just real smooth. The edit and filming have never been as important to me, its icing on the cake but vids with the focus on the skating will always be my favorite. I enjoy vids from people with all different styles, and amazing editing and filming can go a long way.

New ones will almost always be overlooked...

until they get a chance...

I got my guidance. You'll get yours. I like you because you are involved. Keep posting, make your name old, and you'll get your views. Don I can see that you'll be one of the significant shredders of the new generation. Stick around and you'll eventually shape your own style.

For me fluckit has never been about getting views or comments on my vide personally I believe if your making your vids for others that's actually the opposite of what "fluckit" style is about. Make the vids for u what u like feel what gets you off the first vid u put put that isnt done for what u think others wanna see but is done solely on what u feel will most likely be the best vid u put out. Vid response is the last thing I think should be on your mind. Fluckit for me is the people themselves no the vids they put out

what jp said

[i am a snail]

i never get many views on my shit either, but im not really looking for any. it's just fun for me. i know if i just stay around for a while, people will know who i am and how i go about things and maybe watch a few vids, but for now i just comment and give feedback, so at least a few of you old guys know me. just hang around for a while and people'll get around to giving feedback, don't feel discouraged.

as jp said, it's about the people themselves, not the vids.

aside from asking what needs to be improved..
you have to explain to the viewer what youd like to accomplish presentation wise...

i told everyone a long time ago that i love raw low cam zero circa 96 shit..
in your face raw skating...
then after i released a few more vids people gave me more constructive opinions towards helping me make the filming style i want...
to help me reach my goal...

if you just make vids without your peers knowing what you want then theres really no way to criticize without looking like a dick...
just asking for feedback opens up the conversation block for all kinds of opinionated shit..
weather its cam tricks spots or even the way you look...

explain your goal...
help your viewers understand where your coming from and where youd like to go..



antwan showed up first vid with a very flattering note to pawn..
before everyone watched his vid we knew what we were going to see...
and the comments hes been receiving reflect on his personal goal..

i am a snail is another example...
everybody watches yet no one is clear of his goal..
his comments might be down but the views are always there..

most importantly...
have no fear of the same genre...

jerr bear makes amazing real life type vids..
if thats your goal then study and match the work..
no one said there can only be one king of a fake skate genre...
