Color grading is my major weak point and i would like to know what could be improved as far as colors and the reel as a whole.

Thanks,
Jake

ya i knew where you were going. I just totally spaced, not a huge deal for something incomplete. Any advice on the actual reel? haha

Ha yes, of course, posted way too many times about something that didnt really matter, my bad.


I think its a solid start. I don't think you should go much longer, but thats IMO. Some of the jump cuts were way too jerky i thought and some of the random up-pans could be cut. Also, i'd say try to group things together, i felt like it was very scattered. At one point you show the same shot as before of a different skier, just like 30 sec later and you actually show the cut to landing. Just seemed like a very random/confusing order of shots.
