I agree.. you need to jump up the resolution atleast for the downloadable version. Graphics and sound at the start were pretty good so I'll end on a positive.

I think the picture quality was acceptable.
The content was great. the overdubs worked out well.
Though it sounded as though you were asked 2 questions during his set, as he didn't really respond?
Some posing would be nice (with overdubs), the lighting could be a bit better for more visual of the muscles being worked.

Overall I think you'll have made a great start.

I liked what I could see. It kept kickin me off and shutting down my system. Not a complete shutdown but it would close that window...??
Something about add ons...

Bob are you talking directly to him as he is doing his set? Or was that dubbed in?

Hey guys...looking for a little help here.

Go to the "Olympia Series main page", where you can see the short version and long version of the Marcus Haley segment...

I'm looking for some feedback as to whether or not you guys like the longer version with the interviews and pop ups put in, and most of their training....

http://bodybuilding.com/fun/olympiaseries1.htm

How long did you watch?

Was it interesting?

What would you like to see that wasn't in the segment?

Overall feedback?

Looking for honest remarks and criticism...

I didn't like the pop ups. I couldn't read the first one or two and they make the film look cheap. The video quality was OK for the internet, but I had a problem understanding the dialogue. I could understand Bob alright but others were much quieter and difficult to understand with the background noise. I only watched about ten minutes because I don't know who Marcus Haley is and I couldn't get into watching him train.

If you have better audio and bodybuilders I have heard of then I would definately watch it all the way through.

beatmaster · « **Reply #111 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:45:57 PM »

no too bad, video quality could be better

watched the short version (maybe because i'm not one of his fan), so don't know if he spoked about his diet, if not, that would be a nice thing...

i say keep it coming bob!

vinnyvee · « **Reply #112 on:** July 11, 2007, 08:06:50 PM »

Like I mentioned earlier I was able to get most of the way through it before being kicked off. However the pop ups werent working for me. As in I didnt really care for them.
As for audio, maybe a guy w/a boom mic or having the guys w/a microphone on them would help. It always sounded like Marcus was whispering when talking between sets.

Chick · « **Reply #113 on:** July 11, 2007, 08:37:37 PM »

We've already fixed the audio problem...and the grainy quality was due to the problems in loading it/ size it was compressed to.

I appreciate all the comments....

I'm more interested in knowing if you guys like the longer, more in-depth version, or the short choppy one....

I watched them both

Was it interesting?

I liked the shorter version but if i was looking to sit down and learn more about the bodybuilder id probably go for the longer version. Overall i'd say theyre both good depending on whether you want more or less.

What would you like to see that wasn't in the segment?

I think this covered what's good.

Overall feedback?

Good series. Decent video quality but I think the sound could have been better, but it was bearable. I can't wait to see more.

Looking for honest remarks and criticism...

I was hoping for more like the battle video Mits does. I want to see the athlete. It's amazing how many of these pros think they are going to hollywood $:-\$

Bluto · « **Reply #116 on:** July 12, 2007, 02:47:41 AM »

loading was slow for me. i picked the long version and i'd have that load completely before i could watch it so that took some good time
popups need to go.

UK Gold · « **Reply #117 on:** July 12, 2007, 04:57:16 AM »

It was great! Don't listen to all the trolls Bob, they don't remeber the 'good old days' when all us BB fans had were copies of Flex

I want to see RHULLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
Bring out the German BEASTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

You'd think a nerd like you would have a popup blocker. weird.

Whole episode, i liked the long episode, the more content the better...

Was it interesting?
Very much!

What would you like to see that wasn't in the segment?
Maybe some more about his training philosophy: high volume, low volume; heavy weight or a "squeeze" approach; does he have some special techniques?

Maybe some numbers about his diet: grams of protein, carbs, fat (bulk and cut); foods that he likes for cutting/drying him out...

Who was his rolemodel, does he have a favourite bodybuilder like Arnold or Haney or Bob Cicherello...

Overall feedback?
When I tried to watch using internet explorer my internet explorer crashed after watching a couple of minutes so I had to use Mozilla Firefox to see the whole episode. On the boards here in belgium and the netherlands there are a lot of people with this problem. Maybe that's the reason why you think that people want a short version video because there computer crashes after a couple of minutes watching and it seems they quit watching.

It worked fine for me, I thought it was good as Bob helped to provide some color to it. I agree the lighting in certain places (i.e. Longhorns) was bad. But great to see Bob follow Marcus around and document some of his typical day type stuff.

Monster_Everything · « **Reply #124 on:** July 13, 2007, 05:59:08 AM »

the Marcus segment was as aspiring as getting a new couch and plasma screen TV
