I posted this video on youtube a couple weeks ago the and am looking for any feedback. Positive and negative feedback would be awesome. Let me know what shots you liked or didn't like, and any advice on how to improve my work in the future.

Liked the concept but some shots seemed a bit flat color-wise, maybe work the contrast a bit?

Some shots were a bit shaky too but for that kind of videos it's not that much of a big deal, I still enjoyed watching it, maybe something to keep in mind for next time tho.

I'd second the shakiness of the shots, not saying that it is a bad thing as I like the style but in some places it seems a bit excessive.

The biggest one that made me realize it was the transition from the first shot of the skier to the girl on the beach. The shot with the skier seemed relatively static because of the background but there was still some shake in it that looked styled. When you cut to the second shot there was instant shaking and it looked even more prominent due to the sun in the background. The contrast made it jump out right away.

Once again, its a style thing and having a bit of shake in there does look good.

Also I'm assuming you came in and out of focus on peoples faces on purpose right?

Overall it looked really good and clean with the music and all, and it looked like you were showcasing the people more than setting them up for like an interview with a static shot.
