Rant On "How People Film Realistic Things"

[Slamooh]

if you take it too seriously, everyone of us (realistic, semi-realistic, beast realistic (haha), arcadish, etc) do something wrong...
but only the bad kids care because they forget it's a just video game.

Those bad kids are the worst imo... claming they're strictly realistic... but look at how they crouch, how they wallie, how they perfect catch...lol
What's bad ? doing your own thing (whatever it is) and having fun or being obsessed by realism and fail at it ?

Honestly slamooh i think your comments contradict.. Taking something serious enough to insult it.. In reality this is what we shaped it to be we had to learn the stuff too and at the end of the day people want a more active community, heres your start.. Drink it in.

I like the movie "Just Go With It" with Adam Sandler.

well. it may look like they contradict... (as vibez said, i may use the wrong word sometimes and look more aggro than i really mean...i am sorry for that...). let me rephrase it (and try to be more understandable).
its more like i don't get why people are extremists about labels...If it's labelled realistic and the camera is flying down stairs...then what ?... if it looks good and well thought out (i mean no random tricks or angle) then i don't care... i can enjoy it. being all upset because everything is not strictly realistic is kinda retarded, it's a game (and i don't think i really know what realistic means ? do you ?). labels are macroscopic imo...it's not really about details... thanks to the label "realistic" you can distinguish stuff like most of us do on fluckit from stuff like mega ramp random flip tricks (for instance)... and it's fine, it's all i need
then when i talk about bad kids...i mean realistic extremists... the ones flaming your stuff because it can't be done by an amateur 12 years old skateboarder, or because your ollie to grind is too high... So yeah they try to be as realistic as possible, cool, why not ? its nice to try to recreate something... it means you care about details, about how it looks...good i can enjoy it. But then i see retarded crouch (unrealistic / bad looking), i see retarded wallies (weird physics... wallie on an object that can't be "wallied" irl), i see weird perfect catch (things that don't happen irl)...in this case i'm all "look who's talking" because it's not as realistic as they claim it is... they flame people though. They better put their money where their mouth is...
to sum it up. i don't care about labels if your stuff is not random and looks good. but if you blame people for not "respecting" your label, try to be consistent.

ps: lol ... marco taking revenge and deleting his post.

this again? is it just obligatory for people to argue about this every so often?

this is what killed the skate "community" bad kids trolling arcade skaters, and vice versa. just fucking let it go.

Choose:

1) Ppl flame your vids?
2) Ppl ignore your vids?

Here's the thing, just because your fake skater is poor and has some handheld crappy camera doesn't mean the rest of us do. My fakeskater has Michael Bay-like budget and camera rigs, so I can float a camera down 20 sets with no problem. Maybe you should invent better backstories?

Brilliant! Imagine a Michael Bay produced/directed RL Skate vid, it would make the intro to fully flared look like a day at the beach.

My message has been received...
don't want a big ugly reply junking up this already cliche thread.
all is good with everyone... have fun playing skate!

[fallingskyline]

play the game to have fun!

[Slamooh]

i was clumsily stating something similar to what hesh said... but whatever...

[Gizzler]

play the game to have fun!

....nonsense! i play this game to get rich, but adda doesnt come over with all the fake cheques he owes me

but on topic: i think, not "cap killed creativity", but all these discussions about realism and what not. so im going with heshfield...if it looks good, it is good!

[bengrover]

it's a just video game.

Even since day one of OG, putting "realistic" in the title has been nothing but trouble haha.

[Seanne1986]

I hate it more when people Type Like This All The Time.

[Deacon]

I don't see why people get so annoyed when someone puts realistic in the title, in the grand scheme of things does the title of a video really have that much of an impact on your life, if it does, its time to put the controller down and go outside for some fresh air.

A "fake" skate video can be what ever you want it to be. Skate how you want to skate, film how you want to film, and as long as you enjoy doing it, thats all that matters.
