Some of the shots were pretty decent but they lasted too long. The others just weren't that interesting. The idea is there but the execution needs some practice. Did you color correct any of the shots? If so you might want to brush up on that a little bit. If you didn't at all then definitely get on YouTube and look up some tutorials. Stabilization needs massive improvement...I honestly got motion sick watching it. Decent first attempt though. Keep at it.

Yea I the color correction I used ended up being real weird so I didn't use it and I didn't get a chance to film a lot of it before we got that little snow, and all the leaves lost there color, also the glidecam wasn't set up that well yet it was my first and second day using it but I have it weighted better now and should be more than ready for ski season, as soon as I got a mic on it is balanced it out a lot better.
 
I don't know if you want my suggestions cause I'm not into filming and have no clue, but here is what I thought:

Try to not move around so fast, especially tilting up and down. I didn't see much of what was in the video, because it was out of focus, or you were moving too much. Hope that helps :)
 
clips were too long, lost my interest at like :30. The shakeyness killed me, keep trying man. You'll get it eventually. Definitely work on color grading that shit, id look real nice.
 
i did realize most of te clips were too long but i didnt have enough shots so i tryed to fill it as much as i could, and the shakeyness should be gone by next time becasue i have now properly weighed the glidecam, and the color grading i planed on using would have taken hours but its the only program i can afford and ill work on it for future edits
 
Would have been nice to shorten the shots in the woods from 0 - 30 sec. You could have cut them on the beat which would have made the edit a little more interesting.

I liked the flag shot and the shot after. the sun made them both look good and they werent too long.

Overall for next time just use the song a little more. when the songs faster make the shots faster and same thing when its slower. work on the shakiness for next time and try and use shorter clips. Nothings wrong with a short little edit!
