Was pretty good I enjoyed watching it mostly, few things though, I dont know if its just me but it dusnt fill the whole box when viewing and it has a grey bar at the bottom, maybe thats just happened when its uploaded or whatever but made it harder to watch.

Also some of the first shots on the rails, I like the angles and stuff just sometimes, imo, you could have done with the same shot but with a wider angle lens or something as you cant see the whole thing which in some cases is good but a few shots seemed cut off unnecessarily.

Overall pretty dope but could have also done with less shots of the same bridge thing, I thought it was cool but drifted off after a while of seen the same thing over than over.

ok, these are just my thoughts:

for a short video that is somehow supposed to go to the masses, leave all those sub-optimal shots out. dont show another bridge shot when the one before was actually better.

and something i did in the past also but i know its nothing for newschoolers or anyone that is not involved in your crew: forget these surrounding shots. like the zooms when you bring the name, where you spray the bridge and so on. its perfectly fine if you show it only people that you know or that know you guys, but some random fucker like me doesnt want to see that in every second vid.

i feel like you did a great job with that though, but most people will flame you for it cuz its in every edit over and over again.

and work on that grey bar, stuff like that is straight out unacceptable. i know those programs can fuck you up, i had something similar like a week ago, where there was a bar at the right side where everything was a tad darker than the rest, for literally no reason.

and a tip that worked great for me, try stretching the stuff (yes just change the width) so it fits 16:9. idk why but it looks way better.

so no hate, i know my movies arent the shit, but thats just something i experienced.

Overall it was pretty good, the filming and editing was good. I would say get a better camera it was kinda grainy. Also the shots on the bridge got a bit repetitive, i liked near the end better because it had more variety.

i thought it was pretty awsome but these other guys are right. you had a lot of things repeating and it got boring after a while and some of the shots weren't that great but overall well done. i liked it.

Thanks for the feedback. On being a little bit repetitive i agree, but we're all getting back into the grove of the new season.
The rail from the tunnel along with the other urban shots were all shot in Boulder, and the resorts stuff at A-bay.
