Either way I was happy to see the big guy in action, I just prefer real time video......

I'm not offended at all. I appreciate constructive advice. I even started a thread once asking for advice on improving my videos, but no-one really replied.

Just to clarify, when you say "stills" you're referring to the slow-mo sequences, right? There were only a few still shots at the very end, so I'm pretty sure they're not what you were referencing.

I was curious, so I did a quick breakdown of the video.

1:29-1:47 - Slow-mo
1:53-2:04 - Slow-mo
2:24-2:55 - Slow-mo
2:58-3:34 - Slideshow

So, that's 76 seconds of slow-mo/slideshow and 214 seconds of real-time fluid video.

Can you clarify what you meant by "...no "fluid video" shots. Just a slideshow..."? I wonder if some of the real-time video looked like slow-mo because you couldn't hear the motor pitch. The original video had the truck noise and a much better song timed to to the video, but YouTube killed it unfortunately.

Ryan and I will be filming a bunch more out at the golf course soon, so I'd really like to improve my next video of it. All advice is appreciated. Thanks!
