wasn't terrible (not commenting on the song though, like you said you put no thought into it)

but try to organize your clips a little bit, kinda of like how you'd write a book. Get people interested with some previews in the beginning, then filler, then some more sick stuff, then close it off with a banger. People always remember the first and last thing they saw, rarely is it in the middle. and try syncing more stuff, like the initial impact of the grind and the landing of the same clip. I'm also super adhd about syncing the switching of clips with the music, just makes sense to me.

sorry if that's running on a little bit, but hope it helps. keep practicin

Take steady shot, zoom a bit or crop to get rid of some of that vig.

i havnt read through the thread so some of these might have already been said.

add more steady shots or tripod shots.

use the fisheye to your advantage. get right in there on the quarterpipe or midway down the stairset.

use some smooth transitions like fade and such to make it look cleaner.

other than that i thought it was fine.

You're right, because filming shakey ass fisheye lines with steady shot on and nasty ass black vignating bouncing everywhere looks fucking fantastic. The video isn't even watchable because all he did was point the camera up and ride around next to his buddy. Stop trying to film like every other kid films skating.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but shit.......... Take off the fisheye and work on shot composition.
