Happy New Diab!

[martijn]

i dont know credit who arn't boring... (for every video a credit is just a screen with name so it's not very funny for sure)

You can either make them a lot shorter (only thanking people who helped with that very video, and not every single diabolist you've met) or make them more interesting! Have a look at The Best of Circusplanet 2005 and 2006 for examples.

Cool vid!
Some fun simple things in there.

[Thoùm]

Let us thank people we want to ! Credits to long ? You can shut off the video !
That was just a little video, for fun and friends, and it always make pleasure to be thanked in a vid.

If this video were serious, we would have probably heard this comments in an other way, but this one was just for fun !

I think you didn't miss the little trick of Tahia because of our "decorations"

I like the sticks and string on the figures...it makes me jealous because we don't have any statues here in the US to look at, much less deface

PS. Hey Thoùm, how many accounts are you gonna make? 

[Capitaine buisson]

and not every single diabolist you've met

that's not just diabolist and we dont just "met them" that for some guy who help us or teach us new trick or give us little tips and i was sure you will say something like "take a look a bestofcircusplanet" 

[JC]

I like the video and the sculptures with the diabs,
perhaps there should be a thread like
Diabolos and Skulptures...

Credits to long ? You can shut off the video!

Do you really want people to shut off your video before it's finished?

[Thoùm]

PS. Hey Thoùm, how many accounts are you gonna make? 

Sorry ! When I tried to log in my old account, I didn't remember my password anymore. So I create a New account, and finally regain my ancient password. So I use the old account. If the new one has to be deleted, no problem .

Martijn, it doesn't matter if people don't read all our friends's names. (I'm not sure this sentence is correct).

[Matt_]

Do you really want people to shut off your video before it's finished?

I believe the point he was getting at was "if you don't want to see the credits, just turn it off" which was a valid point. The credits are there, so watch them if you want. Pop in any movie DVD you might have, what's at the end? Yep, looong credits. You don't have to watch them; most people just turn it off before then. Same with juggling videos--I almost always turn it off when the credits come.

[martijn]

So because every video has boring credits, you have to make the credits in your video boring too? That just doesn't make sense.

[Thoùm]

I really hope that credits aren't the most important part of our video. Spend our time speaking about credits, that doesn't make sense.

(And in most a lot of great films, credits are really more boring and really bigger... have you ever seen star wars credits to the end ? )


Why wouldn't we speak about tricks, and not about credits ? 

[martijn]

Fine then, sorry for expressing my comments on the video.

[Matt_]

So because every video has boring credits, you have to make the credits in your video boring too? That just doesn't make sense.

You're right, that logic doesn't make sense. Since credits are always boring, why not just cut out the credits? None of my videos have credits, and I haven't gotten any complaints asking where the credits went.

I've seen you try really hard to make credits interesting Tijn, like overlaying the text over bloopers or having text on one side and videos on the other. But in my mind, if you're going to put clips, show them off. I don't want to have to look underneath text to see the clips, and I don't like when there are multiple clips in one window, forcing me to go back and watch it over and over to see different clips.

The problem is that people will always feel the need (even though there is none, IMO) to put credits at the end of their juggling videos. So instead of complain, just turn it off. It's kind of like music selection. Most videos are edited without regard to the music; they're just a clipshow with a music track. And most of the time, I don't want to hear it. Rather than complaining about it, I just put on Winamp and listen to what I want to listen to. And even though my videos are thoughtfully put together with regards to music selection and timing, if you don't like the music, you don't have to listen to it.

... and now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast after that deep philosophical debate about credits.

Nice video. I'm also very jealous about the abundance of statues and other good diabolo video backgrounds in France. Really though, the diaboloing was top notch. I always know I'm in for some innovative and fun diaboloing when you guys post something. Keep 'em coming.

So sean Come to france
And message for buisson's crew : bien joué les mecs

See ya
