This is my first time shooting with a DSLR.
it was shot with a Nikon D3100 and Nikkor 16-85mm (Friends Camera)
Shot at 720p 30fps
Please let me know what you thought. Any and all comments are great.
Thanks

Thanks man. i used a Flycam Nano.
i just put down a film burn, turned the opacity down a bit then halfway through i overlapped the clips by like 3 seconds.
 
some of your shots were a little over exposed (the snow was blown out) but for hte most part it was pretty solid. what do you use to edit? you could probably throw a three way color corrector on that and even out all your shots (some of the cloudy ones could use a little bit of boosting)
 
Ya i realize that.
i use Sony Vegas movie studios 10. it doesnt have a 3 way in it.
im getting a Mac this summer tho
 
very sick! loved the colors, shots were smooth and you had great angles
-watch your exposure so as not to blow out the snow. once you have the capability to use a 3-way corrector, you'll be able to deal with this a little. -were some of the shots slowed down a little? it looked like there was some frame blending on some of them-don't have two shots in a row from the same angle like you did at 1:00, especially not when the camera has slightly moved. if you can't avoid doing this, cheat it by using a film burn or something.
hope that helps!

 
I really liked it. For some of your follow cams maybe consider following on the other side of the rail just to change the shot up and make it look like a different feature even if its the same one. By adding more variety to your shots it will be much less boring to watch (not saying yours was at all) and keep peoples attention longer. Other than that, everything else has been pointed out already.
