Hey guys, just put this video together this weekend. Just filmed a few hours, mix of upside down and right side up glide caming. Tried to get a good low and close angle on most of the rails since thats what cole is best at and some stuff came out really good and a couple shots not so good but you can't have success without failure! Fucks'd with color a bit on this one, wanted kind of a retro-ish glow-ish film-ish look. Normal audio stuff, 100% natural messed with levels a little bit and thats it. Let me know what you guys think!

That's awesome man you're videos are getting better and better! I really enjoyed that! 2 things i noticed were that in alot of shots the snow was kinda getting brown and idk whether that's from your color grading or wb or what but it was enough for me to notice. And also Ill get back to you with the exact times but there was a section where he was doing like a truck driver 2 or 3 times and you just didnt show the landing in the clips and it just felt kinda weird and didn't flow very well. Other than those amazing job man!

1:04-1:09 were the times,one clip just ended the second after he landed and the other showed no landing. Just felt kinda weird imo. Sorry for dub post btw, nice job though man.

To be completely honest, I don't think it would have made a difference to me if it was filmed on an Iphone.
I just like watching cole ski hahah, the amazing filming was just icing on the cake.

Yeah, i was going for a vintageish look and a little blown out in some areas was acceptable for that look. As for the cut shots, i cut them like that on purpose, it was suppose to be a couple quick funny shots to a good shot. Maybe if they were shorter it would have worked better. Otherwise, glad youre stoked!

Just about sums it up.


I thought that the mids were too green IMO. and personally I think it looks better when the whites are true to color rather than "graded". Might be sorta a "to each his own" sorta deal, but idk that's my .02 on ze video.

When you film with the glidecam upside down where do you flip your footage?

Just in FCP, under the motion tab there is "rotation" just put 180. its real easy.

damn some of those low angle glidecam shots are trippy in such a good way! can't wait to try that out sometime. awesome edit, once again loved the audio. I agree with someone above who said the mids looked a little green, only critique everything else was spot on

Just curious, what's the difference between having the glide cam upside down compared to just bending down or holding it lower?

well, with the hd/pro 2000 its pretty small so you could get low but the 4000 is long enough that flipping it upside to get it like a foot off the ground is nice
