colors looked a little funky to me. the tint of the snow was way too harsh i thought. check your white balance when your filming and even color correct it in post, but if thats the look you were going for it just felt a little too blue. but other than that not too bad and for not having a glidecam it wasn't super shaky like most. and boreal's park is lookin super fun, can't wait to get up there

make sure you get the full vest rig too, it's pretty much the only way to get shots

He was kidding when he said a full vest rig, it is entirely unnecessary and unneeded when filming with a small camera

I was just going to say, I really liked the snow color. I'm sick of seeing snow look "white" when technically it's anything but.

i agree completely... but this color reminds of when i take my goggles off, i prefer the goggles on if that makes sense so i tend to grade for a warmer look than cooler, bluer look for snow at least. idk just my opinion. there really is no wrong or right way to color

There's no wrong way to color grade as long as it isn't done poorly.
