I love it! 1:44 ish: wtf! he set the pretzle with the other foot, wierd but sick. the shots were nice. love the song.

pointers: try to switch up the angles a bit, Im not a huge fan of slowmotion but it worked here for the vibe. juste dont abuse it

colors look pretty sick even though you didn't change em... Did you use custom, auto, or one of the white balance pre sets?

We used custom. There were just a couple shots I really wish I would have gone back and re corrected. For example 1:11 is awful.

sick! solid shots, editing, colors, vibe.

as you said, the white balance in a few of the shots was off, but it wasn't even very noticeable. Here's my only suggestion: as I was watching it, I was thinking it's the type of edit/song that would have gone really well with some actual audio kind of in the background. like slowed down sounds of sliding the boxes and people yelling/giving props. could help make the vibe even better.

aside from that, really well done edit. can't wait to test shooting skiing with my T2i this weekend.

Alright thanks. I've been thinking about it for a while, I'll have to give it a shot.

super sick vibe for sure

as for critique i guess i'd say (as mentioned above) more angles, although personally i'm always too lazy to do it. also some of the pans could have been smoother, but overall i definitely liked it a lot

Yeah I can agree that the pans need to be smoother. Though some of the panned shots were when I was skiing.
