fantastic editing you obviously spent alot of time on this one

btw, for those who enjoy video editing there are some terrific tutes on Video-copilot for doing this sort of stuff in abobe after effects, but still very very time consuming to achieve something like this.

looks tops!

Time consuming alright, some of that Twixtor (slow mo) stuff alone would have taken ages to achieve. And its not just about the software & pushing buttons. You need the vision & talent to do what Andy has done. I'm lucky enough to work with some of the best in the film business, & believe me Andy is right up there - Inspiring stuff, as I said before some one needs to give Andy a heap cash so he can just make films.

Andy,

You are a genius!!!!

How did you make my dodgy camera work look that good?

Well done! Nice shots. Interesting editing. Gee that guy can kite!

Where was that spot down south that was a LOT flatter than woodies

That's the flatwater spot for the local bandits.
I cruised over later that day after my sess at the point and checked Hadlow making movies.
They work hard those video-guys.

...one of the best wave locations on the planet and NO WAVE RIDING ??????????

I knew this comment would come up eventually. Even if Aaron wanted to wave ride (which he probably wouldn't) it was mush that day, pretty onshore and frontal and Boatramps was the only place that would work. We were pretty lucky to get any wind at all, let alone two good sessions on one day, Margs in the morning and ahem the mystery spot in the afternoon.

Wheres your surfboard at the cut rick?
you want to see aaron in waves search south africa. Breaking down moves like andy did might help your backspins to turn into better moves at the "spot flatter than woodies"

I just gave up my daily 20 minutes YouPorn allocation to watch that.
Was it worth it?

Hell yeah and I still got a hard on anyway.

wow. Wow. WOW! Beautiful, beautiful work.

If this Andy bloke isn't doing this full time and getting paid well for it within a year there's something seriously wrong with this world.

respect andy! I thought The western shore was the best, but this one's even better.

Hey Gkram, are you gonna forward the link of Andy's work to your film friends?

I agree with the masses that Andy should be given an opportunity in the film industry... Imagine what he could do with a big budget and film crew.

Dunno what you do for a day job Andy, but you're needed in Hollywood!

cheers

I already have & did the same when Andy released 'The Western Shore'. They are blown away by it as much as I am. Its a hard industry to break into but I'm sure its only a matter of time before people want Andy to do their projects whether it be kiteboarding films, high end commercials or even features. Hopefully it will roll on from there for him.

Dont tell anyone.. Rick, Lance and the rest of the crew dont want another woodies on their hands
Those silos by the dunes better not give it away

We love your work.

Well you can't please everyone. The hits on the Tool riffs work. I was struggling to find something for that section. At least the singer can actually sing. I wouldn't describe Tool as grungy thrash noise, they are a bunch of musos, but if you don't like their style, well you're not going to like it.

Finished version? That's it mate. It's an 8 minute stand alone video, it's not a trailer for something else. That's pretty much all the best shots I had from 3 sessions, there was only a few moves I left out. Making it longer would be padding.

Software wise Vegas, after effects, photoshop. As for Kitejam. I'm having a look at the footage but to be honest I don't think there's enough to do something with... it would be kiting to music with nothing else, I don't really like that kind of video

love it long time!

The Tool track fitted perfectly in my opinon.[}:)]
