Hey guys, I just finished another episode of Family Vacation, and I was hoping to get some feedback on it. This was my first time shooting urban, and lighting was a problem as you can probably see. I also had some audio issues that resulted in my mic requiring warrantying so I don't think I came anywhere close to where I could have in that department. Those are the issues that I think are prominent, what are your thoughts on it?





Thanks!

The light was the problem. Next time we will use a more powerful generator and ensure that clumsy people don't break our best work lights.

As far as settings go, I was on a pretty high ISO at f2.8 with a shutter speed of 1/125th. Worlkights create a very orange colored light so I used the Kelvin white balance feature from ML to keep the snow white.

To be completely honest with you, I think that was kind of boring.

Im not going to be that kid that goes "shoot everything fisheye, make fast cuts and no slow mo" but definitely switch things up a little bit. Your edits just seem to be a little repetitive. There are a lot of relatively still set back slow mo shots. Maybe film some lines, choose a few select shots to slow down. I liked some of the urban shots because you got closer to the skier and it made it more interesting. Try to get some shots like that on the hill.

It was good skiing and you guys are killing it just try to get some variety in your filming and editing.

Abe see if you can film some more big mountain/powder skiing. We have had a couple great days, would love to see that through the webisodes.

Work on getting some good non park shots. The PNW has been getting some snow, even before your last episode. Make the boys hike, scare themselves a bit on some mountains.

I enjoyed the edit and the skiing was good.  I would say switch the shots up.  More follow cam stuff on some of the jumps, also throw in some more lifestyle shots to set the scene and location.

this is some real solid advice abe, i was gonna say something similar. I'de suggest watching some skate edits to get some inspiration. try to add some humor to em too, but dont try too hard (watching jake throw up chicken nuggets for 2 minutes..).
