Everything Video cult?

I'm curious if there's already a cult that people can talk about anything and everything video related. A lot of us do work outside of skiing and I feel weird posting wedding/commercial videos in M&A. DVXuser just doesn't have the communal feel that newschoolers does.. Does this cult already exist and I don't know about it? Would anyone be interested in it if I go ahead and make a cult? I'm really thinking that this would be an active cult, and not one that dies after a week of threads

let me know if anyone's interested in joining, or if this idea sucks

You might want to try jumping into the NSTV Producers cult.

yeah, I'm in it. I just think I'm aiming for something a little different. Less skiing oriented and more overall video production. I just recently posted a wedding video and got called out on posting it in M&A, and after thinking about it, I totally agree with whoever called me out

Alright I went for it. I personally think it can stay active, but we'll see!

Here is a link to this cult, join up if you're interested! Please start every and any thread to try and get the cult up on it's feet

So many "video" cults have been made before. They always die. Whoever called you out on posting a wedding video in M&A is a retard, but you also need to not bitch if people don't respond to your thread as much as you want. There is plenty of knowledge in M&A.

Fair enough, but this also a ski website so I understand where the person that called me out is coming from. From what I've seen, prob. 95% of your work (paid or unpaid) is related to skiing- so I understand why you think that there is plenty of knowledge in M&A. I feel that there's plenty of people on here that have the majority of work in other industries, which is why I thought this separate forum might work. Maybe I'm wrong, but I find myself holding back from posting threads in M&A simply because this is a ski-oriented site.

It just happens we all ski, a ton of people who post in here (including me, your % is extremely wrong about me) do other work than just skiing. Just post you shit, you'll get critiques but not everyone wants to watch every video in M&A so if not that many people don't respond, its okay. Making a cult isn't going to make more people watch your videos.

Dude, i'm not trying to get more "views", the majority of videos I post are private videos... I'm trying to get more critiques and hear what other people see- because that's what makes your videos better

I mean, thats exactly what im talking about, you want people to watch your videos and critique them and making a cult isn't going to cause more people to do that because more people will visit M&A. If people want to watch your video and critique it, they will, if they don't, they don't a cult wont change that.

I think i may have been the one who "called you out," however, that "callout" was not to say don't post non-skiing videos, such as your wedding video, but more to say that it could be expected that a video that is less related to skiing would get less attention, in your case in the form of critiques, than a video more based on skiing. Or, in other words, to suggest that there are other resources that could be more helpful to improve your skills, in the genre of weddings, than NS; not to degrade the skillsets and knowledge here, but more towards the general focus of the community.

Whatever dude, just trying to improve my videos and get some more insight. I feel like you contradict yourself way too much...

Call people out on posting their ski videos in ski gabber > posts his videos in ski gabber because to get more views/comments

Hates on social media sites > Creates a facebook EHEATH fan page

High contrast video > Fuck high contrast- flat video

Hates on DTF > Bestfriend/has his back

I never post my videos in ski gabber

Admitted I was wrong, which I was, made fb page to promote my stuff, which i shouldve done years ago.

None of my videos are "flat" I shot flat the first time ever this summer.

Never hated dtf, have you met him? hes a chill kid

What the fuck is your point? Trying to call me out? are you fucking kidding me? Go post more in the M&A stoked thread, since you buy new shit more than jamie and love to brag about it 100 times more.

Also, youre making this thread because youre fucking butthurt my critique thread got like 70 replys and your wedding video got like 3, shut the fuck up dude, no one gives a shit. if people want to fucking watch your videos they will and if they want to give you a critique, they will. stop begging for fucking attention its bullshit and cluttering M&A.

I made this thread with the intention of it benefiting people, myself included- not because I wanted to get more views, which is what you continue to call me out on.

Buy more shit? I own a fucking t2i with 3 lenses. I guarantee you have quadruple the amount of money I have invested into camera gear. I get it you think this cult idea is stupid, you can move on now.

"fuck fuck fuck no ones gives a shit fuck shut the fuck up dude"

I don't post everything individually, in my own thread I made...I'm only calling you out because you decided for some reason to point out some bullshit points that didn't make any sense and it made me mad. Just sit down.


This cult idea has been done, it has failed, it has been made again and failed again. You're missing the fucking point here, more people will see your video in M&A than in some random cult of 20 people that no one looks at.

Anyway, lets move on.
