i liked it, seemed to be a little overuse of slowmo, but other than that i thought it was good

twixtor or whatever you used ruined it. some of the shots got all jumbled up because of it. just film at 60 fps and then slow it down to 30-40% and you'll be fine. i thought the double angles were nice and the filming was smooth. made do some follow cams. but the twixtor definitely made it bad for me. and you used it when it was unnecessary. like that straight air.

If you're using a 24p timeline and filming at 60p, then you should only ever slow it down to a maximum of 40% unless you are going to use something like twixtor. Otherwise you'll end up with duplicate frames. Just wanted to clear that up. Totally agree with all the comments about the overuse and misuse of slow motion.

I'm by no means a professional, but personally, I didn't like when it changed to black and white when he landed on the rail. Also, I'm not a fan of seeing another filmer there in the shot. Finally, I think you should cut the transition half way down the rail to the same shot of him landing

Like others said too many twixtor-ish slowmo, but if you really want to use twixtor:

-The background behind the subject needs to be uniform (best is a clear sky, and no trees)

-Stable shots are better when using twixtor, if you're moving while filming you'll get jello-ish effect on the side of the shot and in the background.


Also you could try to film closer from your skiers, for the rest the second angles we're nice and the overall flow of the edit was good, good job.
