New Video - The Comeback

Hey guys, just finished up this edit last night. For this video, I really focused on using natural audio (all audio is 100% from the clip I shot, complete opposite of my last video) i just got a decent dead cat for my mic, it worked out very well. I also tried some different stuff with my filming to keep my shadow out of the shot (VERY hard, but i did a pretty good job here). For color, I kept it simple, I was fucking around with some stuff in MB and didn't like any of it so i bagged it for a look similar to First Run.

Let me know what you guys think, thanks! enjoy!

Whenever I watch your recent videos I think wheres the variety in the shot, every angle is moving with the subject, Have you thought about slicing it up with some tripod and dolly shots? Im not sure if it would ruin the flow of you video since the riders and your follows make it work so well. As for the audio, it sounded real fresh, the nice low song kinda made the audio pop. Enjoyed the video

i really liked it, i really enjoyed how the song was quite and your could here the skiing really well, the colors were great and the glidecam work was good as usually, really enjoyed watching it, the only thing i can say is it was a bit long, the beginning seemed to drag on for a bit, although it was funny haha

great job, image was sharp, colors were on point, sound was awesome (deadcats are the tits!), and BRyan killed it. The upside-down glidecam shots weren't looking super different to me though, unless you get them REALLY low to the ground they look like any other glidecam shot I feel like.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you, completely. They look very different. I think the fact that ALL of the rail shots are upside down make it hard to tell, but go back and watch the First Run edit and you'll see how different they are.

Hahaha I found the opening part to be funny. Ryan is sooo raw.


Edit was sick; I like how you went a bit more conservative on the colors in this edit. Also, fuck the upside-down haters. I think having a camera at waist height still looks significantly different than at shoulder height. Of course, the lower the more unique.

I could've made a 10 minute edit of him just talking from the past two days haha but i tried to keep it as short as possible but i couldn't have an edit of wyble without some wisdom from the mad himself.

i dont know anything about editing/filming etc, but i thoroughly enjoyed this edit, more so than the others, not sure why (ur other edits are dope too, not taking anything away from those). beginning was funny as hell, seems like an interesting guy. wasn't too long, people are haters, they want SERIOUS skiing, NO fun. maybe the fact that he's such a goofy guy then kills it is why i liked it, idk. noticed way less shadows this vid, nice job, gotta be a pain in the ass to deal w that.

keep up the good work

Glad you liked it!


Also, I meant to add that I shot most rails at 11mm (some at 16mm but I couldn't tell you which ones) and shot the jumps at 16mm.

Yo I asked you on FB about the upside down glidecam shots and i tried today and just couldnt get them right. The subject was always cut off at some point or another and they were shaky as fuck.

I tried it last week. seemed to be just as easy for me. What focal length were you shooting at? I was shooting 17mm and it was nice. didnt end up using the footy though

Your glide cam isn't properly balanced then. It should be the same upside down or right side up. Also, you just have to get used to aiming it correctly.

so dope. filming and skiing on point. the blind 4 stalefish off the rail (think it was a blind 4) while skiing switch down the landing was so good. Also, i love sw10's that trick will just never get old for me. that last dub 12 was one of the illest i've seen--would have liked to see a couple tripod shots but this edit was just so fast paced (which I liked) that they might not have even worked. i think the upside down glidecam looks real sick, i'm gonna have to try that out one of these days!

I liked it quite a bit. The audio seemed a little high at point of him landing sometimes. And I have been feeling the same way about color grading, i like the more natural look right now.

I cut down the audio of landings a lot, but I didn't want to cut them so much that they would be as low as the background noise.

I like it, it's funny and the noise gives you the feeling like your actually skiing which is a nice change.

Yeah, i bought a $30 dead cat though and it worked very well. i didn't cut any audio from any of the shots, i just dampened the landing sounds.

I really like the beginning, that guy is really funny

I think that by including the dialogue you achieved good chronology, something that ski videos seriously lack. It was really cool and fun to watch.

Also as mentioned earlier, the grade was nice.

i'm not hatin, i'm new in the media world but what my opinion is that..

- the intro was really to long for my liking
- some of the shot were really far from the subject
- try to get some other angle for the jump shot !

now what ive liked..

- the angle were really cool, fun to watch the whole video
- the shot at 2:33 what incredible, with the sun man it was just amazing ! 10/10
- it's was really not shaky
- the skier was in the frame all the time

and finally, are you filming with your glidecam upside down ? ahaha

continue your great work man, your video are ill as always!

props evan !

Loved the intro, but it could be just because I love Wyble (homo).

Another great edit though... Dylan is lookin so damn steezy too!

FUCK YEAH :) /claim. I noticed this the first time around - definite improvement.

Loved this. Hearted it on Vimeo. Caught onto the audio, too, could definitely tell it was natural. It just fit really well.

Nice job, Evan.

Evan:

You've become a better member lately in my eyes. Since the orange name i feel that' you've spoken more truth and made better edits.


This is probs one of my favorite edits now. I only saw your shadow 2-3 times.

Sooooo sick man.

Skiing was super legit, editing was amazing, the sound was awesome too. And song choice is always on point.


Props man.

The hard part about this in PC is that if you are doing follow cams, the sun is always within 20 degrees of being directly behind you.
