Before you say anything, yes i know its a scooter edit, yes i know its not the best, but i still want you to tear it up.

Any criticism is good criticism in my book, go nuts. Break down colors, music, cuts, anything that could use work.

Here it is:

just watched your vimeo videos

holy cow please stop asking for "critiques"

there is no way to give a critique to a kid, and if there is, it consits of GET TRIPOD, GET GLIDECAM, OVEREXPOSED, COLOR CORRECT.

hell i didn't learn to properly color correct until i was in college

and you are far from college my friend.

hopefully in high school though!

here it comes

I felt like that had no flow whatsoever, I'm sorry. Also, your colors looked weird to me, and alot of the shots were shaky. Oh and don't just put in an out of focus shot for no reason, doesn't make it artsy. Were you kinda just walking around filming these guys or were you actually setting up shots and everything?

no offense, just calling it like I saw it.

What I was thinking. It didn't seem as if any of this was planned whatsoever.

It's not planned, it ended up being me just walking around and trying to get shots. Like what do i plan and how should i make sure all my shots looks good when filming? I just don't understand the term of "planning shots."

You talk with your riders on what their run/trick is going to be, have them do it twice and film from a different angle on each run. Maybe setup a tripod. The more planning and thought you give your filming will give you sooooo many more option in post. There's nothing worse than trying to edit shitty footage.

so much this. Filming is about more than just getting the trick on film.

like said earlier, for me at least, it is hard to critique something that someone just tells you, is it good, bad, and ending?

i understand you are looking for advice because you are just starting out, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense when all these kids are asking for things like color grading and such. learn to use the equipment you spend you hard earned money on, then once you establish a good sense of skill with your equipment, then you can go into post and make the colors of your videos better. Its not black and white when it comes to filming, especially when every kid has a t2i/t3i ect.. and expects the quality to be amazing right off the bat.

I think kids(and this includes myself because i am a college student still) should be look more into advice on how to properly set up a shot and execute it, rather than properly color grading
