First off I was really digging the whole split angling you had going on in the edit and some of the tripod angles that you had going for some of the rail shots. Keep that shit going and flowing.

Here are some of the criticisms I have about it.

Audio- Either have great sounding audio or don't bother putting it in. The wind burn sound is extremely distracting and I know when you first start editing you want to keep all the sound in of landing and the rails. But unfortunately, its just really hard to keep focus with wind burn. Maybe cut your audio until he lands and put it in with like a very light sounding thing so its not super noticeable.

Follow cams- This shit is hard, I know I still fuck up behind the camera with follow cams but there were a few shots where you cut off his head with the camera. Try to keep them framed tightly and make sure you don't have a lot of dead space.

Coloring/Exposure - Some of the shots were blown out towards the beginning in the regards of having the whites mesh together. Have a lower ISO and a higher aperture if you need to compensate for this.

As far as coloring went - it just wasn't consistent all the way through. A few of the shots changed after about 20-30sec in. Nothing awful just not consistent.

Thanks for the solid input! definitely understand the audio thing, i think that is something im going to try and pay alot more attention to during filming next season. yeah definitely found composing follows hard, i think some of the shots i got with other people toward the end of the season were possibly a little better.

colouring was an aspect i struggled with for sure. I know exactly what shots you are talking about, i found the change from a bright but overcast day to a bluebird very difficult to get to match. i think i should have just spent more time on it and try and get it as good as possible.
