That felt really long. 3 minutes is way too long for a reel. I would say you should cut your reel to about 1:30-1:45 and that way you will get peoples attention faster and they will be more likely to see the best of the best shots that you have!

Yeah it is really long and rewatching it I can see that's it's not serving the purpose of a reel.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah you guys are both very right, I'm just now realizing that I wasn't editing this as a reel at all, it actually turned out to be more like a recap of what made me stoked in 2015 hahaha.

I might edit a shorter cut, but I feel like I just wanted to edit it as a recap for myself now that I rethink about what were my motivations to edit this.

Thanks again!
