I liked it! the opening slider shots were real smooth. Only thing i would say is to put a little time to color correct, I think it could have made a big difference in a lot of those shots. Also, try to pull the sharpness down a tad in camera on the skiing shots, the trees seemed really busy and that may help, worth a shot. Keep it up!

Good job! Only critique is that some of your camera movement looked just a bit sketchy (nothing huge but you could work that a bit). and I'd say try to put a bit less fade to black, but overall good job. I liked the non-ski shots too.

yea, coloring for me is a bit tricky sometimes because I'm color blind haha.

Thanks for the feedback though.

the filming was nice and the quality was clear, would have liked to see maybe more skiing and a little less extra shots. nice job overall though man

definitely thought about this on a lot of shots. After watching it a lot of times I would agree with you on a few of the shots.

I liked it man! I agree with others that some shots are long. The first couple of shots are very similar, all of them are at a slower pace so when you cut to the skier after the slow motion chairlift shot, the pace of the video is thrown off a little. But that may just be me haha, another thing is that you have 4 definite "sections" to the reel, which is totally fine, but I wonder how it would look if you intermingled some of the shots, just an idea? idk haha. Last thing, the shot at 1:40 threw me off because of the black space/bar on the left hand side, i would crop that out. Other than that keep it up man!

Totally disagree with you on that. I thought the clips that weren't skiing were really where the reel shined. Everyone who shoots skiing tends to shoot it the same way (which is not necessarily a bad thing), but when only clips of people hitting jumps and rails are shown, it looks like every other edit.
