One thing that bothered me the whole time was the music. I didn't think it fit the vibe or the edit very well.

one thing I noticed is that some of the pans in the beginning seemed really like jerky. you did a good job keeping the car framed, but the pans didnt always seem smooth. just one little tip I had

What was the crowd turnout like?  I had an invite to this, but had to pass due to work commitments.

if I had to guess I would stay about 150 people at a time, maybe 250 came by to check it out.

Music sucked. You actually got a good amount of footage in two hours, and I think if you'd taken a different approach to editing this, it would've come out better and more watchable (in my opinion).

Don't take offense to that. I just would have created a different progression for the video.

Thanks blondie.. I totally agree with you on the music.. the cuts dont sync up and it picks up real fast and stays fast the whole time.. I will follow up with another edit when I have more time to be critical. As for now thanks for the comments they help me realize how important little pieces can be to a minute long clip
