Amateur Film Fest Video's

Edited Date/Time 12/16/2012 8:50pm
So, i watched all 4 of these video's that are in the finals and while i think all 4 video's are pretty cool, what the F is with the shitty music? Is this cool music to ride to these days? 3 of the 4 videos use this electronica type crap music and the other is some sort of hip hop i guess. Well, in my opinion...the music is terrible and MX videos should have good heavy driving music....ya know, like some sick punk rock. Maybe it was a matter of "rights" to music?

Maybe people have different tastes in music. I'd rather listen to electronic/hip hop than gay/emocore shit

If you read the rules for video entries you have to either own or have the rights to the music. Which is very hard to do for mainstream music or costs a lot. So the music in the videos is what they were obviously allowed to use or had rights too.

I noted that at the end of my post but, i had not read the rules. Well, next time there is a contest like this for any amateur filmer that might enter and you want to use some energetic punk rock tunes, hit me up. Yes we get some good money for our music rights but, for something like this, id be happy to sign off on it.

Yer a good man Jordan!

btw: did you ever get that pic of oldschool Big Bird on the XXX bike? sent it to the email in your Vital profile.

I think i did get the picture but, you could send it again to be sure. Its a sick picture of Larry Ward #10 and it was awesome that not only did he ride for us, but won a National MX for us too. Not bad for a little punk rock mx team that lasted 13+ years

hey champ firstly how about you fuck off with the generalizations!

your vid with that music would've been good if it was out in the 90's but people are trying to be different so it's not just rinse and repeat..

my pet hate is people saying someones taste is 'shit' or 'sucks' it's their taste, their choice.. if you don't like it that's your taste your choice why is your taste better than someone else'?

I hate the hip pop that's very prevalent in todays music but I'm not who they're aiming it at and I can assure you people older than me couldn't understand why I liked the grunge, punk and metal that I listened to when I was younger and most can't understand why I still like the stoner, grunge, punk and metal I like now but I like everything and give anything a chance to affect me positively in some way my itunes has absolutely everything in it and I'm never bored when it's on shuffle

ease off the ignorance you might find some good shit

Pretty sick of you to post in here Jordan. I agree with you on the music. But then again we dont really see any badass freeride videos like we had in the 90's/early 2000's! Maybe a motoxxx 2013 version needs to happen. Guys like Hanny, Grant, twitch, etc out freeriding. I know id buy it lol!

The music thing will always be up for dispute. Some people really dig the raw sounds and some people can't get enough Rob Zombie. For me, when I make a video, I rarely have a song in mind before I film everything. I just pick whatever song goes best with the feel of the day or the story behind the video. I think most people don't really look at it that way. I've put songs in videos that no one in the moto world has ever heard before and songs they typically wouldn't ever listen too and afterwords I get flooded with messages begging for the song title. Other times, 2-3 people flip out and feel the need the bash the video because they didn't hear enough Punk, Rap, or Metal...

It's been said before - If you're going to bash on music choice and bad videos, try making one yourself.

You're never going to make everyone happy when it comes to music choice.

9/10 current videos I think to myself "fuck another video to watch on mute". I'd rather just listen to the raw footage audio..

I personally can't stand punk music in motocross. It annoys the sh!t out of me. But I don't like shouty distortion music in general anyway. As soon as I hear punk, metal, rap, or any amalgamation of the three, I look for the mute button.

For me, the music in a moto video should either be fun, or should pump you up; get your blood rushing, not something 'heavy' that you thought was cool when you were 13. I like when a video starts of with those intro scenes of the workshop or the landscape of the riding area, and then the song drops right as the rider is first shown. I loved the Dungey/RC scene in Moto4 with Radioactive - it was timed perfectly. I'm all for music like The Glitch Mob, Pretty Lights and M83, but if the dubsteb fits the video, or the hip hop song works with the mood of the video, well then it works. I just can't listen to punk crap.

Also, if you describe music with the words 'sick' or 'weak', I immediately ignore any opinion you have with respect to any audio issue that could possibly arise. Ever.

So vidoes suck because they're not made with punk in the back ground? Ok gotcha, see all this time I've been doing it wrong, I've been watching vidoes to watch amazing riding, not for the garbage punk music played in the back ground.

In reality, I'd rather hear the bikes anyway.
