Help me with this edit?

err, anyone?

not bad didnt like the song but it was put together pretty well, i really like that part where u jump and then it pans up to the city. Pretty nice but you should try and throw some more jumps in there but overall good job.

watched 30 sec and wayyyyy too much contrast bro. possibly even lower saturation a little bit.

theres no real define lines to anything.  you cant see and bump or anything like that in the snow.

What the fuck? Are you agreeing or disagreeing. Sentence structure much?



Also I take it back about saturation.

Yeah I've been having problems with that. I don't increase the contrast in post at all. I usually shoot on aperture priority and then it always ends up exposing for the skier, but I am hesitant to shoot on manual because the lighting can change halfway through the shot and ruin it. Any tips on this? I am relatively new to using my DSLR for video so not very sure how to handle it.

Make a preset in the camera which doesn't have as much contrast? I don't know much about dslr shooting video. sorry.

Way too dark man, bring up the whites and chill out the blacks. You're turning green into black, you always know when you have too much contrast if the trees aren't green anymore.

you should always be shooting on manual with a dslr. your shots will turn out way better and more consistent if you are just aware of your lighting situation and control your iso/shutter speed/aperture respectively (which can seem like a lot of work on the go but once you get used to it you wont even think of it and your shots will look awesome). You dont really have to worry about the lighting changing half way through a shot, it wont be that drastic when skiing and its better to run with a consistent setting than to have the lighting changing throughout your clip randomly. One last thing was the black flashes, they where a meh for me.

Overall i liked it and i think you did a pretty good job. If you shoot on manual however you will be able to achieve more natural contrast in your shots and be able to control exactly how bright they are.

Hope that helps a bit.

yea, colors are messed

but, other than that, some stabilization would be great, there was lots of shaky footage. And also try to edit to the song better, time up your cuts with drops and changes in the song, etc.
I think it was a little bit over transitioned, too many transitions, if you edit to the music better and make/use natural transitions you need less cross fades etc.

good start though

Thanks a lot. So if I'm doing a follow you don't think the exposure will change drastically as I go through shadows and stuff?
+K if you aren't at 10 already

nope it shouldnt. if you going through shadows and its set on a manual setting it will just look like your going through a shadow. nothing crazy. in day light for follow cams i generally have my setting like this: f8-9, iso 160,320 and shutter speed of like 1/250 to like 1/500. usually something in that range works really well in daylight for me.
