Where are the creative videos?

[Adi]

OK, maybe this is just me... but why aren't there more creative videos?  I'm talking about videos where freestyle is incorporated with something else.

Right now, 99% of videos show a freestyler in front of a camera doing tricks.  This shit gets boring after a while to be honest.  I know there are differences in moves and style, but at some point it'd be nice to see freestylers venture out and do something different.

Maybe something to a script?  I remember that one video a long time ago when someone would wake up and go through their day with freestyle, etc.  I think there's room for more commercial like videos.  These would require more editing and creativity, but they would be far more entertaining.

its like what you mean?

Yeah, exactly... that was brilliant.

Also, there's tons of videos with one freestyler performing, while others are watching.  I know they take turns or whatever, but that's boring.  I know when my friends and I were into the whole freestyle/commercial scene when it started (2001-2003), we were all about trying to make cool and clever videos together. 

It seems if you have a group of 3-5 freestylers in one place, do something clever and come up with a freestyle story that incorporates everyone.  It's getting kinda repetitive seeing one guy doing a hardcore combo and 3 other guy clapping.  I realize it's part of the freestyle culture, practicing, etc... but more quality, creative videos should be made considering how much time guys spend practicing and editing.

Remember the classic Nike videos?  They were way ahead of their time in the early 2000s.  Freestyle has evolved so much.  Imagine if the creativity from the Nike videos would be merged with the current skill of top freestylers.

I like creative vids but i much prefer to watch a hardcore vid with a high level, good style and  good variety. I want to see something impressive that makes me shout out WTF!!!! If i want to be entertained i go to a concert or watch a movie.

probably because those videos aren't that easy to make, there seem to be a fair amount of them at the moment though

Scripted videos need a lot of time and editing, and usually you need a person to film to get it better, so you can't do it alone.

No one posted this :o

Holly shit, this puts me right in my place... close the thread!  Case closed.  What a video!!! 

It started out so corny, but then turned badass so fast.  Some hilarious bits in there as well.
