Got to shoot some tramping for like 15 minutes. First time shooting with my Konova Slider too. Thought I'd leave it in M&A for a little C&C... I know it's short, but I'm looking for critique mainly on my filming/editing. Thanks guys.

The skin tones were flouro hunter orange in the brighter areas. One of the downfalls of HDSLRs...

from what I understand, that's one of the reasons people shoot with a neutral color space and color grade later. I'm sure someone will do better at explaining and elaborating on that.
 
very true. were you shooting with saturation/contrast bumped up in your camera?

when i went to south america i shot with my saturation/contrast bumped way up and i was shooting in very intense sunlight (making for some super bright areas and some areas with very harsh shadows) and color grading skin tones was a complete nightmare.
 
Saturation was +2 and contrast was -1. I think I had warmed up to much in post though because the raw shot doesnt give skin the spray-on tan look as much.
 
looked real sick man. just what they said about skin tones and contrast. And the one shot of the water spraying has a lot of noise in it
 
No worries, being bashed when I deserved it is much welcomed when I ask for c&c.

I felt all the shots were pretty grainy, I think I might've overexposed that hose shot in magic bullet.
 
It was real overexposed, the kids shirts were mad hot. Chill out on the magic bullet looks, if you don't know what you're doing with it, just use color correction in your editing program. Its really easy to over expose and over saturate with magic bullet and thinking it looks "good", believe me, i did it before.
 
As far as grain goes dude. I bought a program called Neat Video(http://www.neatvideo.com/) Its the only editing software i have paid for and i would pay double what i did for it. Its a plugin(I got it for Final Cut) that eliminates grain in shots. It is amazing and i would recommend it to everyone
 
Just downloaded the demo. Super awesome program! makes my shots look so much cleaner. Thanks for all the critique guys! Gonna start shooting on neutral as well
 
Really sweet short. I loved the first 2 intro shots. Nice work with the slider as well. Did notice a little grain in a couple shots, but it seems like you've got it figured out with that program. gooooodwork
