Looking for some critique of my videos from the skiing community! Tell me what you truly think ahah i wont be offended! Thanks

Was this your very first video? Exposure was good for most of the video, no massively blown out shots, some of the earlier stuff could of been a bit brighter but good none the less. Practicing smooth zoom pulls. Its not easy and takes time to learn to be fluent with the zooms.

My biggest gripe is get off of the stabilizer and try to compose different shots. All of your stabilizer shots were identical nothing really that interesting. Near the end you started using a tripod which is nice to see but try to use it even more and shoot from various locations. Stabilizers are extremely over used in the ski film industry anymore so mixing in some of that with some good tripod shots will greatly benefit you.
 
Thanks for the tips, really appreciated!! It is my second real edit I've made to date tho

Use a telephoto lens and get some shots from far away for a different look. Editing is clean and camera movements are smooth but I agree with the person above! try new angles and types of shots be cinematic!
 
Action Bronson I like it. If it's your first vid it's a solid start. The toughest part is coming up with something vastly unique, and while everything not made from a robot is unique (only you take video/see the world like you do) some things are too similar. I could watch rails and urban shit so I like it. But just keep cultivating your style man. Looks at things differently and don't stop.
 
I feel like if your motive was to make just a ski edit of your buddies its pretty good. All the shots are pretty smooth and goes to the music well. But why would I watch this compared to all the other NS edits that are super similar? Is it crazy skiing? Unique filming? Both?

Not that its bad all, but there's nothing that makes it stand out. Try playing around with the colors, different angles, maybe film in front of the rider so it gives a different perspective? All things to make your style unique
