Yo guys, I've been making 15 second Instagram edits since Christmas and trying to make as many as possible.

I finally got to grips with filming setting and getting decent looking footage at Easter so these are the edits I've filmed and made since then.

I filmed most of them, friends have helped with filming me (black jiberish hoodie) but I set the exposure and "directed" all of them.

I'm pretty stoked with them, I know some are a bit shaky/out of focus/under exposed it's been a learning curve!

What do you guys think?

Honestly I think that making videos specifically for Instagram is kind of silly. You won't get any real exposure or credibility as a filmer for putting 15 second "edits" on Instagram.

I think your filming is pretty damn good, and you clearly know how to edit, so don't waste it on Instagram, make real videos.

The only one that I thought actually worked as an IG edit was the one of the dude on the backyard flat down tubes.

Why don't you take all these nicely filmed shots and edit them into one reel or edit? It would be way easier for people to watch it without the music changing every 15 seconds.

For the rest your filming is awesome, the warp stabiliser sometimes gives a bit too much of a jello effect IMO but the rest is pretty good!
