So I'm looking for some critiques/advice on this edit. It was my first time using final cut for anything skiing so...

Things I would like advice on:

-Color, the footage lost some quality exporting but critiques on this would still be nice.

-Vignette, is it too strong?

-Transitions. I like to play with using the camera itself to create smoother transitions between shots. What are some things I could do better?

-Timing, did it feel too slow/fast? How were the cuts? Did it get boring?

Things I wouldn't like advice on:

-Skiing. I get it, I'm bad at it, this is about the edit itself.

I'm in the blue saga, my friend's in the orange LDC. That means focus on the shots of him because those are the ones I took, therefore the ones I would like critiqued.

One more side note. We didn't use any form of stabilization, so I know it's shaky. I've constructed a device for next time though so don't worry about that.
 
First the more negative.

-Color was fine

-Transitions. You'd tried to have artsy transitions, but it lost its intrigue and highbrow feeling due to the shakyness of the filming

-Timing wise, I liked it.

-I wish there was some more variation between front 2s and tail threes. It was kind of boring in this aspect

other than that it was good. It looked like you edited pretty well for the mediocre filming.
 
you should get people to film who arent so shaky. especially the last few shots! i feel like the camera is too far away from the skier at most times and there was enough BANGER
 
Did not know that, in fact, I don't even know what theory3 is... I thought it was an original choice.

My apologies.
