Hey NS,

I have been racking my brain working on a new reel for a new website i am working on. It would be great if i could get some feedback.

Here is a low quality uncolored rough cut.

Thanks,

Honestly, I really disliked the song. The fast pace is a bit different as far as reels go but I think with the right song it could be a lot better.

^ What he said. A majority of the shots are slomo, and the song is quite fast. Maybe try to add some livelier shots with less slomo and more action going on, or try finding a slightly mellower song.

Had to mute, footage was good but the song ruined it.

I like the song better now too. However I did think you had cuts which went by waaay to fast that it was to hard to see what was going on. I wanted to see the clips for longer to really get a grasp of everything as I know the shots are good, don't cut them too short.
