i know kinda just from watching i know that i used slow-mo to much and i put a lot of "fillers/mediocre shots" in just to kinda make it longer

but if you guys have another tips for me please tell me.

Solid edit. I think one of the main problems was over-exposing the snow, so try and fix that. You may want to try and color grade the shots. Another key point is to try and keep the skier in the shot the whole time. Some of the shots the skier was going out of the shots so I missed some of the trick. I also think you could have done a little less slow motion, but that's just my opinion. I thought the shots with the skiers names were quite nice though and the intro was title was pretty cool.

Thanks! K+

It was tough to gage where to keep the f-stop at because one minute it would be cloudy and the next sunny

But thanks! Will take into consideration next time!

Well i don't know the exact definition but its when you make the the "shutter ring/hole thing (not so sure what the word is)" bigger or smaller the lower the f-stop the brighter your picture is going to be and the greater your f stop is the darker your photo is going to be

seems like you had the white balance set a little bit low, (it was a little blue). other than that there's not much to critique besides the exposure issues that everyone else has been hitting on.

That was actually in the color correcting i changed that, but if it doesn't look good i won't do that next time.

Thanks, K+

Hi Guys !

I'd like to show you the edit I made this winter using a GoPro HD Hero and many mounts :

If you're king enough to give me some notes about it, this would be great ! Thanks
