Filmed this short edit with Goepper today. I'm a counselor at woodward but I'v been filming a ton but haven't had time to edit anything, so I will be dropping edits after summer. Want to hear suggestions as far as settings like Aperture, Shutter Speed, Iso ETC. Anything u got will help. The edit is on the front page but here's the link. Filmed with 60d and tokina 11-16 for reference

Exposure seemed fine, motion blur seemed fine. The shakiness detracted from the quality though, I would work on that if I were you since you seem to be ok on settings. You can get half-decent gimbals on Amazon for around $100 like the one below. They're a bitch to balance but it will be an improvement and greatly improve your production value. If you can afford it though, get a glidecam or a comparable alternative.

I mean, just watch your shots, a bunch of them aren't "stable" just slapping a camera on a glidecam doesn't instantly make it stable.

What it looked like to me is that youre glidecam wasnt balanced well, you drop time was probably too short and you probably were gripping with your glide hand too aggressively. This same thing happens to me too and as soon as you fix the drop time and focus on a lighter glide grip, it will buff out.
