Hey guys, so this is really my second edit with the T3i. First ski edit with it. I had troubles keeping the colors constant because they were all shot on different days and on different mountains. Give me the harshest critique you possibly can! +K for help!!

filming was good, try to sync the song with the shots a bit more and the main thing that i noticed was you didn't need to use some of those shots....it seemed like some of the skiing outdid the rest of it. pretty much what I'm trying to get at is use bangers (if you have lots) not mediocre shots

My biggest concern that is relatively beyond opinion is that your colors were sick when you were shooting in sun; but when it got cloudy/flat, your whites got clipped and the colors were generally not as pretty. Clipping whites is a no-no of filmmaking, but how you go about grading to make it look better is entirely up to you.

That was pretty sick I definitely agree with what Mike said though. Also I'm not one to talk because I'm not an amazing park skier but it kinda seemed like some pointless shots were put in there, like it when from some really awesome tricks to like a 50 50 180 out which imo took away from the video. Just my 2 cents, great job though, I'm impressed

Stupid mobile..... But yeah i hear ya. I really wanted to use the whole song so i was scrambling for shots at some points. Probably shouldnt have. Mike: if i do happen to clip my whites like i did in the overcast days, how should i go about grading them to get them normal as possible?

Just turn down your whites and use the histogram in three way color corrector
