Really nice job will. you certainly have caught on quick. only thing i'd watch is your framing/composition. sometimes the skiers head would be cut off when sliding a rail. just something to watch. If there is one thing that marks an edit as amateur for me, its when u have a shaky shot of the car stereo opening the edit. just dont do that! colors seemed ok, not really sure as i am still a bit hungover. overall nice job!

So good except for the radio shot.... I think if you would have just started it when he was getting out of the car it would feel a lot smoother

pretty much what everyone already said. but yeah just watch the framing. i think there were a couple times he was only half in the frame. and yeah the radio shot threw it off a little because of how shaky it was. other than that nice job. most of your shots were very smooth

beat me to it...

and also agreed with composition and framing

otherwise, i'd say that you should have brightened up some of the shots from later in the day so that they more fit the bright daylight from the beginning...

and i think it could do without the fade to black or two that were in the middle of the edit, they kinda gave that "wrapping up" feel, but then the edit kept going, just a bit distracting...

otherwise, good smoothness with the tripod, that was well done, good colors, and i really liked that ending profile shot...

good work!

only thing i didnt like was how short the clips were, how there was no shots of him coming up to the rail only jump on and then it ended as soon as he landed

I agree with everything else everyone else said and also I think some shots were really too dark, I also feel that you overused panning with your tripod. And also that first shot with your friend coming out of the car looked like a pretty awk shot, he looked at the camera smiled and then acted like he wasn't idk. just my 2 cents.

as said before, you over did the panning/ tilting with your tripod. Also, some shots were over exposed and some were a bit under exposed. Sometimes it's hard to tell the exposure on just your LCD, so try downloading magic lantern so you have zebras so you know how to expose for everything. Some shots were framed weird, but was really good for a first edit with your tripod. Angles didn't get boring either, so that was good. Nice job.

i liked the tripod work, it flowed pretty nicely, the only thing i could say is that the fade at the end of the trick or every couple shots bothered me
