Hey guys so I put this video together for the first drop contest and also I kind of just wanted something to edit. I want you to give me your worst I know some of the shots could have been better, and I am working on it. But i want you to tell me what I can do to improve filming wise, and editing wise. I really tried to work on my colors a little bit in this edit. Thank you!

2011 A compilation of some of the great times that were spent this summer. I hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!



Filmed with a Canon T2i 18-55mm Kit lens.

Edited and color corrected on Sony Vegas Pro 10.

Filmed and Edited by Taran Egner, additional filming by Chris Engman, Bryson Seiler and Tobias Goldman.

Be careful not to crush the blacks. Also the shot at 1:33 wasnt even close to being in focus. I really liked the vibe during the first part but once the song changed I didn't like it nearly as much.

thanks! yeah i got a little bit carried away with the color curves. All I have to work with is vegas. Yeah there was a few other shots I believe that were also out of focus. It was awhile back, next time I will try and keep it in focus.

its definitely easy to get carried away with color grading, i have one vid thats hard for me to watch cuz i made the colors so extreme. just remember subtle is still noticeable and sometimes better. after you start looking at something for so long trying to get it just right you forget how the original color was and thats where its easy to get carried away.

Hmm, thank you Ill give that a shot. The only problem is, is that I cant change colors to much since it is just with Vegas. But I will give that a shot.
