you had some crazy compression artifacts in some of your timelapses (which lack something themselves)

it bugged me that you kept using a variation of split screens throughout the whole video

and on that topic, its hard to watch 2 or 3 actions going on at the same time constantly especially when one tilts and the other 2 pan different directions

some really nice shots from the backcountry though!

I only gave it a quick glance since I'm about to go through security for my flight but I am personally not a huge fan of so many split screens. I lost attention with them all and it just frustrated me. You have good shots but I would focus more on the shots themselves than splitting them up.

Thank you for your advice. Some of my older time-lapses weren't shot correctly. I tried not to put too much important action together, as I understand what you are saying, but I don't think there are any instances where one tilts and the other pan in different directions, although the fact that it confused you is enough for me. Thanks again for your time.

I kind of tried to go with the whole confusion in the beginning, especially in the city shots. Maybe it is too confusing and therefor frustrating. Thanks.

Ok so the big focus on this video is on the split screens which I thought were well done from an editing perspective. They were very dynamic and flowed with the music well. However, they got to be a bit much after a while. Perhaps uses them on a couple intro shots and then really just try and focus individual clips with no split screens after that!

I personally thought the split screens worked pretty well for the city timelapses. Since there was so much happening, it didn't feel out of place and worked pretty well. The split screens for everything else didn't seem to flow that well. It was distracting and cut off the majority of your images.

I liked the split screens since they flowed with the music and looked pretty good, but i would drop them there after the intro. The backcountry shots were beautiful. I gave it a like on vimeo! Overall real nice
