Non-ski related film rough cut help! +k

[jeb_b_vt]

Hey M&A! I was wondering if you guys could help me work on this video for my final film project. It's a rough cut, a couple of color correction mistakes here and there but I wanted to see what you guys thought of it! ANY advice would be great! Some of the shots are shaky because I made a DIY camera slider and it didn't work out very well. Password is "jump"

You shot that like you were exporting in 16X9, not 2.35:1, which ended up cropping out a bunch of detail and made other shots look really weird/have really awkward perspectives. Some shots are great 2.35:1 but others look incredibly awkwardly squeezed.

Yeah I think I cropped it too much. That's one of the things I am gonna change for sure.

agreed but mainly in the begging. the speed ramping on successful attempts was really nice (idk i have a hard time doing that)

overall was really good

You filmed that as if you were rendering in 16:9, and not 2.35:1. I think it may have ended up removing some of the detail and it made a few of the other shots look kind of odd or like they have have unnatural perspectives. I liked some of the shots in 2.35:1 but a few of the others looked unnatural and pinched.

bump! did the color correction look good?

my real quark was the slider shots as you mentioned. There were a few others that looked like they were handheld as well that should have maybe been tripod? I thought colors looked alright except the first shot of the track shoes...those things looked soo soo bright white without any detail. neat story tho

Thanks! I'm gonna gonna color correct that shot again haha it was pretty bright. Anything else guys?
