I liked it quite a bit but I think the motion tracked title and names was pretty sloppy. That's the only complaint I have. Well done.

standard one here,
did you intend on using a crop whilst filming the edit? lots of cropped out heads/feet etc...personally id rather watch a well framed edit in standard aspect ratio than a badly framed edit with a crop. IF you're set on using a crop, use crop lines on your camera during filming. Its much easier if you're using a tripod rather than a glide cam but it does help either way

not bein harsh, just honest
I dont know why its really called grit? i hate it when a video title has little relation to the video
also you put like 5 shots of a k-fed, front 4, 3 shots a cork 9 blunt, and 2 shots of sw 2 pretz 2
those were my only real concerns but i liked the filming and color correction ect, also i agree with the above that the tracking is sloppy but good job

I assume you used boujou to track with?
that program is really touchy on what type of shots you can add motion tracked text to. Typically you need a really flat/even "floor" in order to have the program track well
when you were trying to track the chairlift you should have placed the test object on the chair not beside it, this would have ensured that you got a proper track
on that text for sam. you should have had him stand on "flatter" ground, not on a ridge. boujou doesn't like to track ridges very well. then you could have put the test object at his feet to ensure the program tracked it correctly
One last thing on the motion tracking: DONT USE AE! it is really hard to make 2d text not "wiggle" and it generally makes the tracked text look really sloppy. try to use C4D. that way you can make the text cast shadows onto the ground, and it looks a lot more stable. plus you can add a light to the scene (where the sun would be in your shot) and have the light change on your text as it does to the subject of your video. Just looks a million times better imo
All times are Eastern (-4)
