Just looking for a critique. I have only had my t2i for a week and a half. I am still learning how to use all the controls and stuff.

Any critique is welcome. +k

Thanks,
Will

I don't know much about cameras but here's my two cents. I liked the edit and I think the song fit in well with the vibe you seemed to aim for. You know what/how to film it seems so maybe you just need to get your colors and all that shit down a little better. Do you have magic lantern? It was also nice and stabile, what did you use for stability?

Thanks,

I do not have magic lantern yet. I plan on getting it soon though. Also this was all just shot handheld I used an eyepiece so that helped keep it more stable.

Overused song. Angels were good. there were a lot of head cuts. Try to film more lines when filming skateboarding. And if you are going to keep filming skateboarding i would look into a decent fish eye.

i thought it was a very good edit but 2 things stood out to me. there was to much times where the head wasnt showing. only the body was. also, there was a little too much slow mo at some points but overall very good edit

Great vibe and I liked the editing and variety of shots. Overall pretty solid I'd say

The vibe it created was dope in the sense that if you put any skateboarding lines in it, it would have been whack nice job tho!

Love it so far! Its really fun too film with too. I got mine off ebay used in excellent condition for 500 bucks for just the body though. I already have a couple lenses because my sister does photography with her t1i.

Not at all haha. Maybe that there is no digital zoom like there was on my old camera but apart from that I absoluetly love it.

i'm assuming you mean servo zoom controls, right? like a button to make your lens zoom.

digital zoom is when the camera simply scales the image up which degrades image quality.

no worries, i can see why you thought that. i was bummed about the lack of a zoom rocker or something at first too, but i definitely feel like the lack of zooming has made me think a lot more about composition.
