This is awesome, what are you filming with?

The filming and editing were sick, there was a bit too much slowmo at some point, personnally I would've like to see more natural speed follow cam shots.

For the rest evreything is sick, the broll shots in the intro we're nice!

Hell yeah jacob that was sick.

Only issue I had was the crop took away from some of the close up shots, it was only a hand full but it definitely was slightly distracting when it would cut off a head or even upper body, I'm sure you know which shots I mean shits tough but always something to keep in mind when you're shooting that close and you definitely wanna crop know what im sayin? The few random shots you got that were probably from a dslr that you did some warp on definitely distracted a bit from the overall video as well.


Sound was clean, colors were nice, it appears that red is treating you quite well.

Thanks for all the feed back guys. Noted evan, i do agree on that. Thanks for all the feedback guys! Defiantly s little over board on slomow as well. Its hard when it looks so cool.

Slowmo is tough for sure. But i agree with others, full speed ski shots can look fucking awesome too, its a balance no doubt. Lifes hard when you have 4k at 300fps.

Holy fuck i love ricky eat acid. Never thought i would see jams from sam ray or the philly kids in an edit on ns. Three Love Songs is easily one of my top albums of 2014. Have you heard sam rays other projects(teen suicide)? If so what did you think of his transition from lo-fi emo/punk, into really ambient/uk dub/chillwave? I Can Hear the Heart Breaking as One is definitely my top track off the lp, really gives shivers. And yeah the edit was sick, sorry for the off topic question haha.

yeah the shots in the lift line seemed very noisy, pretty much the same as everyone else said, maybe a little less lifestyle shots and I wouldve taken out a couple of the ski shots, also the landing sound you used at the end sounded a bit weird to me.

Really solid though. Does vimeo support 4k?

I only think youtube supports 2160p


Jacob, I also forgot to add how fucking tight your crop ins were, literally the most legit use of 4k for action.
