Hey guys I just am starting to get into filming and editing and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with finding a song for a fun edit. I know its kind of a gay question to ask but I really only listen to rap and reggae and really know nothing about other types of music. Thanks for the help and +K for anyone who helps me out a little

To be honest, you need to find your own music, don't ask random people on the internet, its much more satisfying.

Word.

I'm not sure how much you guys were focusing on videography, but I'll give you some tips anyway.  First, switch up the angles - it gets boring.  Second, the song/editing definitely did not give me a feel good/fun time vibe.  The song can't just mirror the mood - if you want to show a good time, have it be faster paced with jump cuts and funny clips rather than just a straight throw down edit.

Also, lose the fisheye - unless you're following (and even then vig looks bad) its worthless and distorts the picture and gets as annoying as the repetitive shots.  However, a fisheye shot once in a while on a follow to change up the view makes it more interesting visually for the viewer.

Thats about it.  Hopefully I didn't sound like I was trying to rip you a new one, because that's not what I wanted at all - just some advice to help you guys improve your edits.

Cheers!

well i'll suggest fat boy slim for easy to find and fun music.  personally i'm tired of hearing hip hop over and over, i know tonnes of peeps listen to it but i don't see how it relates to skiing in any way.  if you don't want it that main stream any sort of breaks music will do, up beat and bouncy,
peace
