The timelapse was nice but it would have been better to have it sped up alot or cut down.

man, keep your shadow out of the shot. keep shots like that one at the ski hill much much shorter, and make sure that the shot is level (the building was crooked). just keep working on framing and composition, keep at it

I think timelapses are something you should sit back and marvel at..and listening to fast paced cali p or whoever isn't what I want to be hearing. Not saying it's bad, but you should also pay attention to that too and choose music to fit the tone of your video. and don't shoot water, I've made that mistake. Clouds are cool, stars are cool, sunsets and sunrises are cool.

My first timelapse from my time in Alaska.

About 15 seconds too long. Keep at it though, you have a good eye.

In your re-edit I found the bushes in the front swinging frantically really distracting from the sunset, that's just an opinion though.

For that final video I would recomend moving the camera so you don't see the branches, they got sorta annoying after awhile. Other than that it looked good.

pretty good! but as others have said speed it up, and you should pretty much never, ever have trees, bushes, branches, etc. in your time lapse shots. at least not if theres any breeze at all that will cause swaying.
