I just dropped my first edit on Vimeo and before I put it up for the rest of NS to see, I figured that you guys could see it early and give me some feedback.

I thought it was pretty sick...but that wouldn't have been my first song of choice, it's been over-used

It seems to me that you've recorded with two cameras, a go pro and something else, or in two totally different light situations, if i were you id look up on youtube and try to get some color correction or matching so that the audience's attention isn't drawn to the color as i was.

Love the skiing though

Thx for the tip. Yea, part with goPro and part with t3i. I didn't really color correct but I will make sure I will do next time. k+

On your t3i:
Film at 720 @ 60fps. Keep your shutter speed above 120.
On your gopro:
Turn pro tune on.

Invest in nice solid tripod, and a steadi cam down the road.


For your first edit that was rad! I LOVED that fixed shot of the 360 around 30 seconds. Best shot in the edit imo. Play around with some color correcting and film ss much as you can!
