"The Chill Edit" |switchfilms.no from Tomas Aamli on Vimeo.




I like to keep the edits "clean and simple, and just add a chill feeling to it. Im also curious what you guys think of the colorgrading? Was it to much, or can I grade the colors a little bit more?  (sorry for my english btw)

+k for legit response

sick editing. i really liked the moving camera angles. the only thing i can say about the colors is that at times the whites were a little high. just a couple times in the first half of the edit, the white tee was glaring a little bit and a few other small glares like sunlight reflections

Liked the edit i personally like the pan shots. That longboard "kickflip" was shot nice to. The edit was smooth everything flowed well.

man that edit was so sick!! loved the dolly shots, but on the lngboard kickflip it kinda just looked like your camera was focused in on the trees and not the board, thats why it kinda looks blurry if i may say so... then again i am a newb ish at filming compared to you guys so i may be way off lol your camera looks so sick btw. im looking for a new camera but that looks like it may very well be much too expensive for my budget lol

Hey, sick edit. very buttery. I have a question. How do you do the colorgrading like that? I use sony vegas, or adobe premier pro, and adobe after effects. I'm pretty sure you mentioned that you use vegas on your vimeo page. thanks.

thanks! For the colorgrading I make my own presets in Magic Bullet Looks. Its a plug-in that can be used inside Sony Vegas.

i think that was from pixel motion slow motion in after effects. you can eliminate that by increasing vector detail

very sick edit, great dollying.

How did you do the intro/outro logo. im guessing after effects, but it was very cool

you did a really sick job editing and filming this. I loved the sick moving camera shots and the editing was really sick. The edit had a really smooth and chill feel to it.
