this is my first edit with a 60D. I purposely made it all sketchy or whatever. kinda like it.

check it out and tell me what you think.

 
There's not really much to critique on the filming besides pointing out that it was shaky. I don't know if that's what you mean by making it sketchy, but I think it actually takes away from the video. You can still sense the hand held, run and gun nature of a film even with a glidecam. That smoothness would have added a lot to your video.

I like the concept and it was actually pretty neat to watch. The editing was interesting. I would make it shorter; since it's kind of abstract, its tough to hold attention well. I would cut out a lot of the stuff that isn't as important. I think that would really tighten up the video.

I don't know if you did this, but just for reference, you could have probably cut up that audio (the spoken word) to have him say exactly what you want. You don't have to put the whole thing in there (goes along with shortening the video I guess).

My biggest complaint is that it is a) on YouTube, and b) 360p? Are you kidding me? Fuck that SD shit you're shooting HD now, make the most of it!

I like the concept and I think if you improved just a couple things this video would be outstanding. Good luck and above all keep shooting and editing! Practice makes better!

Cheers,

thanks for the legitimate response bud!

I did want it to be shaky, but after looking at it on a big screen I agree with you, and am going to use a DIY steadicam to get away with it still getting the right look I want.

the only reason its on youtube is because we have like 30 nose pick gang videos and its just easier to share them on facebook haha. everybody in the crew has some sort of camera, and we all have WAY different styles, so we all ocassionaly make vids, this just happened to be my first time.
 
Being on YouTube is okay, on second thought. The real problem is that its 360p. Get that shit in at least 720p it'll look so much better.
 
still made it 360, not sure how NOT too....

but second try of another day. this is just going to be trial and error until I get good.

 
i saw a lot of blown highlights that stood out to me in the beginning, i liked it more than your standard skate edit though. also was that small black tag i saw from you guys? it said npg, i thought it was sorta funny.
 
yeah haha. NPG/nose pick gang is our skate crew. A few of uss are legit graff heads too and always have markers, the others scrawl"NPG" in 4th graders handwriting literally everywhere lol
 
yeah sounds like some of them need to hit the books for a while, if it's going on a wall it ought to look good. but the skater perception of it is different than mine, so whatever.
