I personally didn't like the intro just because i have seen the exact same thing a million times in hood edits.

First off work on stabilization, was it all handheld? A bit overexposed at some points, and the wb looks a bit cold. Some shots were a LOT sharper than others, this might be because they were shot at 1080 whereas the others were 720, or maybe the less sharp ones were out of focus, or maybe it's do to with the aperture. Dropping the audio for the last clip didn't really add anything as there was pretty much no sound from that crash, and the crash was left on a while.

Does your d5100 have any form of graph? I find that very useful for knowing exposure on my rebel.

I'm no expert filming wise so I won't act like I am, but I do agree that the quality difference between shots was very noticeable, and I also feel like you should be getting higher quality out of a camera like that. But about the edit itself, i thought it was pretty good for a first try. You had a couple repeated shots (2 gaps by what looked like the same skier over the rainbow) in there that you're going to want to avoid, and a few of the shots with slow mo were a little bit too slow. All in all though it was a pretty good edit

I was wondering how I could get better quality out of my camera because it is obviously not showing in my end product of my footage
