So. This is WidespreadMedia's 3rd edit. Just tell us what you think! What needs work as well (cinematographic, editing, etc.) but, yeah. positive feedback is appreciated. constructed criticism is ideal.



K+ for good tips.



Thanks so much!

Super shaky - if you're already that shaky a glidecam is not going to help you much. SERIOUSLY do some work on follow cams if you are going to be doing them.

many of the shots were framed terribly. Cropped too tight on the rider, which accentuates shake, and at different parts the rider is partially out of the frame. Other shots are not really tight enough. That can be good sometimes, like the shot of Wiley doing the 7 on Rocker in Refresh. Not on a 30 foot park table or foot tall park rail.

you are filming on a 7d right? The colors are typical of a standard setting for the 7d - some colors are super desaturated, and once the vibrancy of those colors reaches a point, they suddenly drastically become completely super-saturated, blown out with pixel-y gradients, and generally look wrong. Pay attention to the sky and oranges. I don't know how to fix this, hopefully someone who knows those cameras better can help with that.

And, I would cut it down to be more interesting to watch over a shorter period of time

Nice edit!, the skiing was sweet.Like you said it was a little shaky, but for not having a glidecam it wasn't bad at all. The only things that stood out was the awkward change in the volume of the music 5 seconds in. And I think you spent a liitle too much time on the shot of Jack (I Believe) just cruising on the catwalk. But all and all it was a very nice third edit.

What editing software are you using?

I agree with the previous statements, a tripod is always handy to have as well. Really work on not being too close or too far away also.

Very good skiing!

I agree with everything said here.

Work on framing, I dont know why you are using a fifty for follow, at that point just use the kit lens.

+k to all of you, i didnt really think about using the kit lens for follows for some reason. the follows were done by putting a cam on a tripod and then i skied while holding it. i am using premiere pro cs5 to edit, and i used a t2i

I was just going to suggest when you render the movie, make sure the dimensions are correct, on your edit when i sent to widescreen there was a black box around the whole video.

Legit skiing, you were a little shaky, look into a different camera like some other guys said.
But really good skiing, work on your filming and this could be really sick
