  1. 'Requiem pour un mono'
    (http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/?g2_itemId=221623). Wmv9, 51 MB.

    I just shot it last week with a bunch of riders from Paris. This file
    is quarter HD, it was just too big for the gallery and most people
    can't watch it in full HD, but it looks a lot better in 1920x1080.

    I purposely used classical (well baroque really) music to make a point
    that you don't HAVE to use loud and fast music over unicycle footage...
    I also made long shots to go against the trend of fast paced videos.
    Just another way to try and be different I guess 😄

    I am moving to Senegal shortly, do you guys know any rider there ?

    I'm not going to Unicon anymore, but the video competition is still up
    and you guys should enter if you have something that you think is worth
    watching.

  2. Beautifully shot! The classical music was the *perfect* choice given the
    location and the magnificent backdrop! Great riding also! Very
    motivational for me. 😄

  3. wow... that was great... I really enjoyed it.
    That's amazing quality video.. I would have loved to see the original.

    The music and the long shots worked real well. We actually got to see
    you guys finish tricks instead of cutting them off and not showing the
    remount/dismount.

    Do you have any other video's? If so please post a link.

    front of the bloke taking a picture - priceless lol.

    absolutely brilliant!

    Yeah but I was looking to see if he had any other video's _HE_ made.

    The one's in his sig are just a compilation of other people's
    video's... most of which I've seen posted on this forum already.

  13. very nice video and very nice riding. The high quality made it
    especially good along with the tricks. What's being said at the end
    when the guy is riding the skinny?

  14. Thank you guys ! 😄 :p 😎

    It's the first uni video I released, well there are a couple of other
    videos out there of me riding but they are a year old, and I didn't
    shoot them... But I have released a lot of videos on TV since it's my
    job 😉

    The coaster is Matthieu, the streeter is Manu, he's already posted a
    bunch of videos on this forum. Both of them are going to Unicon, so is
    Anso whom you know.

    What's said along the movie:
    First there is the other Mathieu Aka Glen Medeiros who goes
    UUUUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa

    Then Manu misses a flatland spin-flip combo thingy and says "it might
    be a bit too ambitious..."

    Finally the cameraman (me) says over the gliding session and the rail :
    "Are you ready Manu ? Careful, it's High... OHHHH NO [censored] MANU !!!!

    End title says Requiem for a uni/by Matayo/with in order of
    appearance...

    I don't appear in the movie, I was shot, but my tricks are boring or
    poorly shot.

    The video is available 'for download here until sept 2006'
    (http://monomaniaque.free.fr/media/Dies_Irae.wmv), when I move to
    Senegal

    The rollerbladers were using a lame little wheel thingy to improve
    there balance and use a break. 9 wheels for balance, that can't be
    serious... It's supposed to be new and revolutionnary and help people
    learn and ride in town, I tried it on a uni, I'm not convinced...

    An opinion shared by me, especially the gliding towards the end.

    What kind of camera did you use to capture the 1920x1080 footage? I too
    would love to see the original. I recently downloaded an MPEG2 of
    Wimbledon tennis in high-definition, despite only having a 1024x768
    monitor it looked stunning!

    I shot it on a Sony Z1, which is a fat prosumer HDV handicam, I would
    have prefered a JVC with variable frame rate or a Panasonic DVC Pro HD,
    but they wanted that camera for a job... I got the camera the day
    before and shot my buddies for 4 hours, ending up with 90 minutes worth
    of footage. Some good stuff was left out to avoid making a repetitive
    video that would end up being boring (nice long coastings were droped
    out of finalcut)...

    I used a shotgun mike to capture decent sound and stabilised the camera
    with a glidecam, I used a tripod for some shots (the only one edited in
    is the stand up ww).

    I might compress a full HD version of it for you guys at some point and
    either ask Gilby to host it or host it somewhere else.

    Thank you tomtrevor for your rating, I need to update my videomono
    website, maybe I could add my video to the selection. I don't know,
    it's always tricky when you judge other people's work and decide that
    what you do is as good as what they do, your positive feedback makes me
    think it's good enough.

    upon diserves your attention
