Willowsyou need to add some real sound


I purposely didn't add sound to this video, trying something new. I had all the skiing sounds in and it didn't play well with the song, thanks for the feedback!

It's just that with "quiet" music theres often a need for som real sound to fill out the sound "picture"

The camera felt a little to "tight". Without a fish eye, imo i felt that you were too close to the skier in the sense that it was claustrophobic in the image, because it was so close and tightly framed. Also, film sounds would have helped in my mind.

This. Use a wide angle lens if you don't, and just get follow cam shots from a bit farther away. It is better to have the skier fully in the frame at all times, which would help avoid some of the jerky camera movements, and would make the edit easier to watch.

Totally agree with the guys above. I also thought that the framing in the edit wasn't totally on point and some of the movements were pretty jerky. I'm guessing your getting used to the whole glidecam thing though? Other than that props..you have some good skiers to film that'll make edits 1000 times better.

Sound would have definitely added a huge amount of value to the film. It's half the experience. And as you said if it doesn't go with the song then you should do audio editing on the song with equalizer and others. Just look it up online and you'll find it
