So I had some raw footage of myself bowling last season and decided to test my hand at editing. I used what very little song selection I had....yes, it's beethoven, (sample that came on my laptop) but just wanted to share my little baby. here she is...i'm proud of it, so with your constructive critisizm...be gentle...

Very nice, IMO. I'm no expert, but you look to have a solid game to me.

The vids were good.You also have an awesome game.I wish i could throw the ball like you.

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. One thing I noticed is that I think I cut away from the shots a little early. noticed the "transitions" cut the shot off here and there. anyway, keep em coming guys.

Just another question for you: I'm going to be joining Hammer's staff shortly, so I hope to be making many more vids. Question is this...what would you guys rather see..say i do a Black Widow Pearl video...would you rather have an informational...ebonite nvs style video...this is the cover, core, here are the numbers, this is what it all means to you? Or would you rather have a bunch of shots being thrown with a given ball, set to a bad-### soundtrack (i know it's going to be tough to top beethoven lol.) or...maybe a mix of both? lmk.

Not too much info, its not like anyone needs the sideweight or any over-kill facts. Just the layout, 5x3 or 4Â½x5 or similar is enough. Try to be creative, make your own style on the video ;P

The only thing that I would say is that you should try to develop a little better pushaway and then just try and free up your armswing as much as you can. Good luck with Hammer.

about the Vid... don't like the Music... don't like the music... but that is between Beethoven and me

(I like classic but not that title ... just bad luck with your choice)

About further Vids:

Important imho for us to know is:
- oil pattern
- layout
- cover preps if done

But a very nice Vid for your first time!

Keep 'em comin'!

Also use a tripod if you have one. The camera action is real jerky.

I liked the camera perspective of when you were bowling on the left lane and I could see a better trajectory line of your shot. I didn't care for the perspective of when you were bowling on the right lane.

thanks guys, appreciate all the feedback, i'll be sure to incorporate these tips into future projects. oh and yeah, i had a newbie for a camera man too lol.
