My only critique is the “shakeyness” i know its virtually impossible to keep perfectly still but once id noticed it, i couldnt un-notice it and then i noticed it even more and i became aware of how prevalent it was.
But other than that, it was pretty rad, i give it 8/10 flying mongrels

 

Whoops.  I just posted an edit in a separate forum topic.  Please check it out if you get the chance.

 

Generally a pretty good edit.  Had a good flow to it.  Only issues I had was, as mentioned before, the shaky hand here and there.  The white of the snow seemed to be blown way out.  You should be able to lower/darken the whites in editing so that you can see more definition in the snow.  Some parts it was hard to distinguish between the jumps and the flat ground.  Also, I know its not always possible, but try and avoid having your shadow in the shot.

Good work.

that is it a go-pro mizu its a go-pro but its connected to a fishing rod lol, its heaps lighter then a ski pole so we thought we would try it, worked good if you ask me


Ill see how it goes with a ski pole next time, i used final cut pro to do all the editing and i just got motion and that is a crazy program, does anyone here know how to use motion on the mac? its got me scared lol

did you like me in the pink one piece lol

it was filmed on my go-pro so it was filmed at normal speed, i just changed the speed of it when i uploaded it in fcp i think its 8x normal speed or so, something along those lines lol.


cheers

Videography is the act of editing/filming < From your first post. wink

Motion scares me too.

Filming is often called shooting because unless you keep your weapon(camera) perfectly still you miss the shot. If you miss the shot it means what you had in your site got away.
99% of the time it should be “left on the cutting room floor”.

I considered using a fishing pole for a PoleCam but assumed it would be to wobbly and cause to much shakyness. What is you opinion?

Haven’t watched your edits yet will later and then leave feedback.
I’m stickying this thread. Thanks for creating it Rick.

yer thanks for making it a sticky spaz!!

the fishing rod pole works really well i think, we tried it a few different time with different ways but in the end we used the handle where the grips are for vibration dampeners, i think it worked well but mind you that was after we destroyed about 5 fishing rods and shot half our footage for the season.

i just bought a tutorial on how to use motion, i hope its not to hard, but its how i learned to use final cut and that doesn’t scare me anymore so hopefully it goes the same with motion lol

thanks again spaz
