Hey, I've been making edits with my friends for a couple weeks now with my Canon 70D, Tokina 11-16 Lens, Glidecam HD2000, and Rode Mic. I was concerned with some of my shots because they were slightly out of focus. I would love to hear your input to help me out to make the shots look better. Thanks

Damn they were all very nice! The audio sounded so crisp..... I have a rode vid mic pro but I can't nearly get that good of an audio.

Filming was fairly good, but the skiing was awfully boring.

Ok, what would embedding it do for the video and how should I do it?

In context of the "Spring Start // Jack Frost Edit"

Audio was amazingly clean, but I think it was a little to loud in some places. At :38 and a few other points, the wind kind of comes out of nowhere. There is also a few landing that catch me off guard volume wise.
Also, a little to yellow for my taste, I didn't think it fit the vibe to well.

Overall, I thought it was very well done, but there's those few things that I would work on.

And with the others, the snow nearly blinded me, so watch the exposure.

Thanks! For the Audio, it was one of the first times I used an external mic, I will make sure to turn down the dB gain for the future. For the yellowness in the videot, I had the white balance set to (K)kelvin temperature of 1000 for a change. Overall for the other videos, I was also finding myself fooling with exposure every 10 seconds and couldn't tell if it was too over or under exposed

Good edits dude!
As Myles said, work on that exposure. You can also check out the 180- degree rule http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/180_degree_rule, it's a bit confusing to watch tricks when they change the axis completely like the rodeo in spring start ( 0:28 ).
Keep on making edits!

Use a histogram to dial your exposure, and make friends with the big kids in the park and make a few edits with them too. You can pull your weight, so may as well get the best talent you can. I understand that you love filming your friends etc. But your edits will get more attention if you have the best riders you know in them.
