Hey guys, just put up the first edit of the season for mine and my friends team/brand. Like I said it was the first edit and we were all a little rusty (as well as a little scared haha) so we didn't really throw anything huge. Please let me know what you think of the edit, the quality, the music, the whole layout, whatever. I would really appreciate it. If you have any input as to which direction I should take the edits in that would be great too! Thank you!!

one thing that I noticed was that alot of the time you would kinda keep filming for a second after words and bring it back up the hill. I get it bc you are probably filming more people, but it just seemed unnecessary when you cut it after that movement. also with gopros, they are so bad when facing directly into sun, i would think about just avoiding that straight line to the sun so some of the shots dont get washed out. pretty fun vibe to it though

1)Intro was too long, try for 20 seconds
2)Try not to film into the sun so much
3)STABILIZE!!!! put your gopro on a ski pole at the very least
4)Try to learn how to do color correction
5)Edit was way too long, try 2-3 minutes

1) Thanks for that input
2) I will have my other filmers do that
3) go pro is actually on a stabilizer. I had some other kids film a bit, obviously not the best. But it is on a stabilizer.
4) Does iMovie have color correct?
5) I see your point, although most edits I watch are right around 5 and a half minutes. But I appreciate the input.

Thanks for the input man!! Ya, filming 7 people can be a pain in the ass sometimes. I have a Nikon that I shoot some video with, but the other filmers are too afraid to use it haha. Thanks man!!

Professional edits of professional riders can be that long, but to be honest you guys aren't that good (not hating) and your bag of tricks isn't big enough to warrant a 5 minute edit. It just gets repetitive after a while and in my opinion would be more enjoyable if it was shortened

Well if you read my original post I said we didn't go hard. Yes the edit was long, but what do you expect from a beginning of the season edit? Sounds like hate to me man. No disrespect, but I think it's safe to say that it isn't about the tricks, it's about the fun. I appreciate your opinion.

Dude, I'm taking the advice. And I said I appreciated his opinion. You dumbass. I'm allowed to have my opinion on his feedback. Was I on his ass? No. I was just making a point. So get off mine.

I'm not trying to be a dick. I genuinely appreciate all your guys' input. I thought I would just explain my thought process when making the edit so that you would understand what I was going for. Keep the input coming! I definitely appreciate it! Thanks guys!!

A ski pole is not a stabilizer. I realize its better then holding it but at some point I think it can just create more shake. It depends on how much you want to get in to and spend on filming though.

Also it was...
- Boring riders, but they made the vibe of it awesome. Since the riders arn't the best, you might want to shorten it a lot (which was already said).
- I got dizzy from the moving back up the hill of the gopro after the rider landed. just wait a few seconds after or just cut it before you move it.
- It is a GoPro edit, so I will give you credit on making it look the nicest you could on Imovie.
- I thought the intro was fine, it created a more webisode type vibe. I dont know if thats what your aiming for though.

Hey man, thanks for the input!!

I would like to say that our "stabilizer" (or holding device) is a broken metal broom handle that is right around a foot long, and in the hands of a good fiilmer, it's definitely stable. But I totally get what you're saying. Maybe I'll add another arm to it to stabilize even more/

Ya, we know we are definitely not the best, but we look to have fun. So that's good to hear that we got that accomplished. We are definitely going to put out shorter edits (think 3mins-3 and a half?)

That was my bad, it's hard filming with a group haha. I will definitely not pan back up anymore.

Haha thanks man. It's hard working with iMovie. I am getting better and hope to get some better software at some point. But I could definitely do better with color and what not.

That is what I was going for! I'm glad you caught on to that haha.

Thanks so much for the input man, I really appreciate it!!
