POV Sucks

[bvibert]

Here's some POV stoke for all you haters

That seagull thing had to be a PR stunt. Still, pretty funny

Alright, someone has to say what the unspoken majority knows: POV Sucks. Your five minute long unedited GoPro video is BORING. POV is exciting for short shots and segments. As a multi-minute unedited video on the net... lame (even if you get the tilt right...).

Discuss.

Guilty as charged. :dunce:

I think its funny though that there are so many POV videos in this thread as if to say, "You don't like POV? You haven't seen mine!" :blink:

Still I agree. I had some raw versions on Youtube as well as edits. That being said - I ain't no Warren Miller - so you get what you get. It boils down to this (imho) - if you don't like amateur video watch Meatheads.

Secret: don't make it ALL point of view

I really like POV if it's paired with a 3rd person view of the same run. Whenever I watch big mountain heli sections I try to get a perspective for how steep or huge something is. It's nice to see what it looks like from a spectator's view AND POV of the Skier/rider.

I like POV when it comes to porn

Gopro seems overkill for that though, doesn't it?

I might have to go borrow the one powhunter won if I hit up the pow at Mount Southington for everyone to enjoy. Unedited of course.

I dated an optometrist once, things were going fine till we got into the bedroom, she kept saying, " Better like this, or like that? This way, that way? Better now?";-)
