Discmania Instructional Video Series

[JHern]

A crew from Discmania came to California last month and met up with Avery at La Mirada. They shot tons of film, with the aim of putting out a big series of instructional videos that will be available on youtube for free. They just released a trailer...

Good question!

He told me about this a while back, and I've been looking forward to seeing it come to fruition. I asked him about the flake-factor, and he said they were on the ball and kicking ass in the video editing progress, indicating that we won't have to wait too much longer for the first episodes to come out.

Episode 1:

Wow, nice production quality.

One thing I would change is all the background music and driving around in a car and other movement and stuff going on while talking about "the most important part of putting..." It distracts from that main, critical, point. It is much better to fade to black, stop the music, and inscribe the words across the screen as they are spoken by Jussi, and then drive it home with a close-up shot of the hit point.

Anyone been keeping up w these? I'd link to the 2nd one if I wasn't on my crappy phone.

I think it's interesting how Avery talks about not letting your wrist move on a backhand drive. Is this his way of achieving wrist bounce?

 

[dgdave]

Yup. Not curling your wrist naturally springs it.

Next one is up, backhand.
