Hey Guys,

I just finished my season edit, and i was wondering if i could get a few opinions. Im new to the ski editing style, and was hoping that you guys could give me some pointers. thanks!

Good clip quality for the most part.

Cut length down in half at least and pick the bangers.

Cut clip length down. Ie you don't have to cut the clip once the skier leaves the frame.
 
Pretty decent overall.

I agree that you need to make the edit a lot shorter and cut the clips earlier.

In my opinion the music wasn't that great either.

Try and refrain from using pictures in edits as well. There was some warping at 1:02 presumably from twixtor, if that happens. Don't use the effect.

Also, don't put the lengths of the jumps in the video.

Apart from those things it was pretty cool. The riding was decent as well. Props for recovering and improving a ton in one season!
 
Using pictures to tell where you were broke the continuity for me. What you should have done is split all the places you shot at into different videos, I think. they'd be shorter, and you could differ the movie tone for each place based on the location's atmosphere. As a viewer, I like a little ambient shots to get a sense of the place.

The skiing was great, I'm amazed you skied deep snow in your 09 Anthems! Makes me reconsider my own Anthem's potential..

I'm also amazed at what you do with no poles!
 
09 anthems are awesome! Ive bought skis since but i keep going back to them, they are so much fun, best skis i have ever owned.

as far as no poles goes i learned freestyle without them. i kept landing on them and bending or breaking them so i just decided not to use them anymore. are poles supposed to make things easier?

thanks for your critique +K
 
I am never letting go of my 09's, I love their feel and I'm a purple fan!

Naw, it's just a preference, like choosing gloves vs. mitts which are also for your hands. I just don't see many skiers with your skill choose to not use poles, that's what I meant.
