I just made a rough draft for a promo but god done wat footy i had. I'm still waiting on more footage so obviously it's not done. I really wanna make a good edit so if you guys could put your input in that'd be great. I'm not putting my vid up just to get "publicity" i really want your feedback. thanks

^is it that one? because if it is, thats one clip of a gnar wooden 4 kink. which is sick. but not a promo. if that is the video youre talking about...dont over edit so much, like when the guy fell off the rail, and maybe get some lights? sick though

hmmm...i thought that was sick. if you could get it better quailty and somehow make it less dark thatd be good.
but sick overall..maybe for tricks, try not to flail as much when youre 270 out of switching up or whatever. just small stuff. i liked it. the only thing is that if i was gonna make a promo to get companies to notice me, i would have used a "flashier" song. even though this song by nas is tight as hell, i think there are other songs that would make the people that watch your video remember you better

I'd take out most of the urbans in the beginning, the kinky rail, and the switch ups you should keep, but the other urbans are pretty weak.

For your actual promo:
No falls
No repeat tricks, pick the one that looks the best
No multiple shots, just the best angle
Keep it short
don't get too fancy with the editing.

maybe mix it up a little more, with less urban right in the beginning

and that shiny blue jacket is REALLY distracting

i dont get why people always think that promos should be short. i feel like length doesnt really matter, unless its like over 5 minutes.
and a lot of the time editing is important, because if its edited poorly, the video could get boring, and people lose interest.

take out the smaller features with weak tricks and the urbans with bad lighting...except for the kink, that was dope. and maybe get some better filming, some of that was super shaky/hard to see what you were doing.
