So this was filmed in two nights so I apologize if there isn't a diversity of material. It's meant to capture the atmosphere or essence of the nights we went out and filmed. This is one of two edits coming out that were filmed in February this year

I don't know if this edit was for a class or you were just making it on your own, but it had the feel like some of your transitions were forced, like you had to put them in there because they were part of the criteria for your class project, y'know? I thought the shots were really solid and the whole thing was really well put-together, but it seemed to lack a consistent style. like you went from the high-quality artistic urban edit at the start, with the timelapses etc., to something different, Idk. I liked it though, keep up the good work.

Thanks,

It was edited on final cut and the text was created by a program called Swift 3D.

That was really nice! I think that if you didn't reuse the shot of people dropping in and putting up their names it would have been more interesting. Every intro of a person was zoomed in on the skis/board while they dropped in, and you definitely have the talent to come up with a more diverse set of shots.

Overall though, liked it a lot.

Thanks again for comments. extremely insightful and useful for my future edits. After I published the video I do believe that I shouldn't have made the slow motions so slow. maybe a little faster slow motion or just that slow for a shorter period of time. I didn't reuse the drop ins, each one was different but I guess they do all look similar to the point that it is just reusing the same angle rather than changing it up each and every shot.

Stay tuned for episode 2 coming out this week. thanks again everyone
