Hey guys, just finished my recap video of WCS6! what do you guys think? I know its abit long, but try to stick through it, some good shit in there. I tried out the 2.35 crop, always been skeptical about this but thought i'd give it a shot. Stuck with pretty basic color and sound for this one. Hope you guys enjoy it! Im open to any comments/feedback.

Fuck mobile. What i was trying to ask was how do you get your image to be cropped like that without a distorted look? Is it in camera or in post? I knew a few filmers really like it so i might give it a try.

That was so dope!!!

I feel like you did a great job of capturing what the whole spirit of Hood is all about. Between the music, editing, and lighting, you made the whole vibe of the edit and that just got me stoked instantly.

I think I especially liked the skate segment. It made the whole idea of WCS seem so un-real. It almost felt like a camp out, just a bunch of friends, wondering around having fun and messing with each other.

One of my favorite edits out of you, nice one.

You can export with crop out of FCP or what I did was exported without crop and then cropped when I compressed it in quicktime pro (could do the same with compress i believe too)

wow that kept me well entertained through the full 9 minutes. Only thing I'd like to see change is to have a few tripod shots in there.

i am a huge fan of your filming and have been for a long time so i'm not hating when i say... the filming of skateboarding was pretty shitty. but you probably don't care since that's not your deal

Yup, i sat next to the euro gap and filmed them for about 20 minutes max ha. im not a skate board filmer thats for sure. id like to do it more but i feel like a fisheye is almost needed... needless to say, if i was just less lazy i couldve gotten a better angle or popped out my tripod/glide cam but i was like fuck it. Kind of regret that decision but oh well.

I liked the powder shots but did you film that with a go pro or a handy-cam? Either way, sick stuff eheath!

such a fun edit Evan! My only gripe (which can be taken with a grain of salt) is that with longer edits such as this, I wish there were more lifestyle/interview parts. Create a connection with the level of riding to the riders to the viewer. Filming and editing were on point though!

I feel with more rider interaction, it could portray more fun?

i bought a gopro hd hero 2. i really wanna be able to make it look as good as your video and as the gopro hd hero 2 promo video. how do you make your gopro footage look so good? also my only critique of the edit i would have loved to see some more pov footage. you are supposed to put the gopro on your head, silly!

^can't tell if serious

do you know what focal length you filmed at for the glidecam shot at 6:20?

I liked the edit a lot. Good mix of tripod and glidecam, also enjoyed the colors and crop

i didn't really like the 2.35 aspect ratio, especially for follows. i also like to see follows shot a little tighter, but again that's just personal preference. some of your tripod shots were a little shaky which i haven't noticed in your past edits. the second song was perfect for that part of the edit

Loved the crop, also pretty much everything else for some reason.

I think it was the colours because they were bang on for pretty much the entire thing, I really enjoyed the grade. Also the sheer amount of good footy you managed to get was crazy, must have been awesome cutting it.

There was one thing though. Near the end when you were filming the big features I found that the way you cut it, with the same angle playing 10 shots in a row got very boring, even if the tricks were really good and varied. I guess I'm saying it would be more fun to watch if you changed up the framing, and the angles.

Really, really good job though. This is definitely one of your top video's in my books.

i just love how the colors look with a dslr and that whole look over a camcorder especially wit the wide screen crop. Stept always does that and its looks so dope with the risk dslr look and heaths real good at glidecaming i just feel like it'd be real tight

Well I assume this was shot at 1080p @ 60fps which no DSLR has at the moment. Most DSLRs best res./framerate combo is 720p @ 60fps. There's the wide screen.

Also Heath films with an FS100 which has interchangable lenses. If I'm correct the mount is F, so Nikon glass.

This edit and an edit filmed with a DSLR would look pretty much the same, actually this is better than if it was filmed with a DSLR.

this confuses me ha dslr colors? i put alot of time into my camera settings that are impossible to do with a dslr. plus, the resolution i get from my fs100 blows my mind

Sony DSLR's have 1080/60p
although they still use line skipping so it won't look as good

yeah i don't really know too much but maybe its the color grading or something but for example in this edit i feel like the colors/image are more sharp and crisp.

stepts color grad is very different from mine. judging sharpness on a compressed internet video is silly.

lololol. fs100>>dslr like mentioned already 1080p @60fps on fs100 is way better than 720p @60fps on a dslr.

colors are all the artists choice and can be manipulated on every camera in any way you want. stept has a sweet color grade no doubt but that doesn't mean everyone's colors on a dslr are going to look like that

and like evan said, you can't compare sharpness on compressed videos online for one, and two, i personally think vimeo's video player holds a bit more quality than NS.

ANYWAY, As for the video, i really enjoyed it, the skating was meh as mentioned already but i didn't mind because it sort of showed the "down time" for everyone there including you. i definitely liked the jump/box sesh segment better than the park follows beginning but thats just cuz i like big jumps better personally. i thought the colors were pretty solid, and i still love the long lens glidecam action across the jump, some of my fav shots ever. there were a couple tripod shots in there that seemed a little jerky but not enough to take away from the vid. really enjoyed the vibe the whole video gave overall. nicely done

I'm probably going to release some shitty ski edit on the internet, and make something cool and genuine and keep it private since nobody wants to see that. Right now I'm at the hospital/trying to fix my car/trying to move so it'll have to wait either way.
