A Park City Season Edit 10/11 - Critique me

Just finished this season edit I put together for a school film festival. Put a good amount of work into it using about 15 days of on/off shooting. Two weeks to edit and all.

Some self critique:

- Some shots were admitadely shaky. I got a glidecam halfway through the year which helped that out

- Color correction during second song looks a little over the top, but I feel as if it fits the song style

- Go pro footage came out pretty overexposed, just have been working with my gopro for 2 weeks before I put this edit out so I need a little more experience under my belt with it.

Overall, this is the favorite edit i've put out in the year and a half i've been filming and editing. Tell me what you guys think

That was really good. At the start with that down urban i thought there was way to many angles of that one trick though. And also you had a spot on your lens like the entire time. I really liked the colors in a lot of the shots and it was nice to see the use of different angles in a lot of situations.

Thanks alot, there's a lot of good things in there. Looking back on it, I agree with the overuse of the urban rail, ill be sure to Atleast make it shorter or get more tricks on such a thing next time. I will give you all k once im off iNS for the helpful critiques

i agree that the gopro was overexposed at the beginning haha, and the only other critique that I had was the cut back and forth between 2 tricks as a transition kinda bugged me, it was only in like the 1st half. but really sick edit overall

i really liked it. i just started to film an edit with a GoPro so i don't really know much about overexposure and the like.

I liked the intro with the time laps but then, like previously said, there where too many shots of the same trick. haha thats smart using the truck to tow you back with the bungie!!

Otherwise, you have a smooth style and some sick tricks!
good job

Just curious, on an average day at PC, how many people do you see filming throughout the different parks?

the first song, i really didn't like, It fit pretty well, and you edited to it pretty nicely though.
you might be able to save the with some work in post , if not i would say just ditch them

2nd song was pretty solid, i think you could do more with the color correction, are you using a histogram and waveform monitor?

3rd song, the shot early on with the audio from the skiing, i dont think the audio added anything, i would ditch it

overall, pretty good, you could do better with your colors i think, the shaky camera kind of sucked, but it looks like you got that worked out. the spot on the lens got really annoying

That's pretty much the perfect constructive criticism i was looking for. Thank you and +k. I didn't notice the spot while i was filming (i have no idea how), but looking through the shots in post, i really wish i had. I'ma take this all in and start newer and better (and maybe even with the t2i i'm saving up for) next year and hopefully actually put out a dope edit. Thank you all!
