That was awesome. But some shots seemed shaky to me. So use a tripod or just something to stabilize it better...
 
ya, weird shake, like not the kind of shake you usually would get from handheld shooting, maybe a badly balanced glide cam? Also just a personal thing but the color grade and overall vibe made it feel like a super chill, late summer, instagrammy sort of edit when in fact it looked really cold, also why does that guy wear a life vest? Good job though.
 
I think the shake is most noticeable at 1:18. In this shot I was using my gopro and it was really cold so i was shivering and I stabilised it in post which gave it a weird shake effect. The shot therefore wasn't great but I still wanted Will's (my friend) frontflip in the edit. In hind site i should have taken it out.

Did you dislike the colour grade?

I think the grade didn't really go well with the shots between 1:09-1:43. These shots were taken on a different day when it was overcast. Again maybe i should't have included them. Im still playing around with different grades and would love to get people's opinions on them and where and when different grades work well.

The impact vest was worn as the river was really cold and oen of the guys in the wet suits had brought it so we wore it for extra warmth. In future edits we probably wont wear it and just brave the cold as it does look a bit silly. Also I was also trying baramis and landed on my back once so the impact vest did come in useful!

Thanks for the feedback.
