i am not really a fan of go pros in the park filming others unless its POV but that's just me.
i didn't see your other thread so i dont know what they said but what i can tell you is:

What you can improve on:

stabilization, pretty shaky.

Colors, kinda dark.

shots, kinda far away.

kinda long intro with no music

i liked:

good song.

pretty good tricks.

good to see you learning.

Thanks for the input man!!

I was about to take my nikon up with the stabilizer but it started snowing so I decided to take up the go pro.

I am working with color correct and it is taking a while to dial it in, so that would be why some colors were darker. Where do you usual set your colors when editing? I am having a little trouble with that.

Thanks for the input man. +k!

There was not one shot with a clean lens. Take the 5 seconds and wipe it off before filming.

Get way the hell closer.

Big L is an amazing rapper but Put it On has been used multiple times. Plus the song didn't really fit in either. Try to add some cuts on beat etc.

No colour correction.

Thanks for the input man

Interesting that you say not to use color correction... last edit everyone told me to use it. Personal preference I guess?? I would totally appreciate it if you said why not to use it? Trying not to sound like an ass here but I would just like to collect info from both sides of this.

+K man

The beginning was boring, since you're using the case on the gopro the audio is terrible and useless, I wouldn't do that next time.

No I was saying that you didn't colour correct at all. If you did, keeping watching tutorials and stuff because I couldn't tell. Having a dirty ass case isn't helping either.
