For the new gen: What is Fluckit style?

[jpdidde13]

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

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...

Thanks guys. 'Specially Marco. I'm not trying to be the next big thing, persey, but there's no harm in learning. Given the fact we're stuck with the games we have for the forseeable future, the only way to get more milage (for me, anyway) is going to be doing things I've done, but much better. I swtiched from Casual to Hardcore this last summer, and had a blast kinda relearning all the basics and getting that little bit better everytime I pumped out a montage. Like I said, seeing the level of talent here is already expanding what I see, which is almost making s3 new again for me.

Thanks for all the support again, ya'll. I'll be sure to start sticking some director's notes in on my things in the future. Sounds like from there, it's all just keep on fluckin'.

I feel you DonVigo, I used to get really annoyed at the lack of comments I get, but like people have said, as long as you do your thing and always have fun with it people will appreciate it whether they say so or not. like pawn I'm all about putting as many good, raw tricks in a vid as possible; the more perfectionistic you are the more polished your vids will seem.

I've recently been thinking about the nature of this game and it occurred to me that those of us who play seriously are kinda like the equivalent to poor medieval puppeteers showing their craft on the streets for the ruffians (= teh internets). Puppetry is a legit artform, but obviously we're constrained in our craft by the limitations of the game, BUT until we've met all the limits of our imagination within the game, wr haven't really reached those limitations.

This also leads me to thinking about edits; while I enjoy a good edit, I do feel like the community over celebrates the value of a good edit; to me the main reason for playing the game is to be able to play out your ideal skating aesthetic and the rest is just extra. But to each their own.
