i enjoyed it. really liked the song and there was some sick skiing too.

try some color correction. if you have a camera like the T2i, you can really make your shots look great by playing around with a color correction tool.

are you talking about something like magic bullet looks or talking about something like on the actual camera?

yea i actually meant color grading. all of your colors look correct. but you can color grade using a color corrector tool in your editing program or you can use magic bullet if you want more options

One or two shots were a bit overexposed.


Work a little more on your framing. There was a couple shots where you chopped off just a little bit of head, or would weave and miss half the box and then come back. Showing only someones legs is fine if thats what you are focusing on, but its clear when its unintentional. In fact, if you arent moving, might as well use the tripod instead of the glidcam, it only makes things easier.


Also im pretty sure you are frame blending on your slow-mo shots. Turn that off for less of that ghosty effect.


Finally, and this is more of a personal pet peeve, but easy on the film burns. Especially without CC, its CLEAR when video is well, video, and not film. At that point, film burns just look hokey and fake, if you are gonna put in fake film burns, at least color correct/do the work in post/when you film so it looks like film.

Overall good work for a first edit though. I enjoyed it, just keep those in mind.

this. the point of film burns is to make it look like you are actually shooting on film. but this doesn't work if the footage still looks a lot like video and not like film.

somebody already touched on this, but i felt like you were too close for a lot of the jump shots. the shot gets really overwhelming if the skier takes up the whole frame, especially at the peak of the jump when you're really trying to see what he's doing

Shooting jumps from far away is much more appealing to eye so I have to agree with this.
On the editing part don't use chairlift shots... I used to do it, but then I figured out it's done in every edit and I hate riding the chair so why am I putting it in my edit?
