(Non Skiing) Mini Edit

Hey all,
Disclaimer: No skiing. Just some shots I put together on my trip to San Francisco in June 2010. As much as I love ski edits, I also love variety. Thought I'd share, and hope you enjoy.

Pretty cool, like the mixing images effect but dont use it as much as you did in this edit..

For some shots you should have used a tripod or mount whatever..in some others its fine that it is a bit shaky as long as it is natural movement, not this shaking from holding the camera..and the zooming shots are a bit to long.. just my feedback and opinion, no hate..
 
a little overboard with the opaque images/transitions. cool effect but used a little too much. really shakey shots too, i imagine your shooting on a dslr, maybe utilize some form of stabilization.
 
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
As far as the overlays goes, I was trying to show two things here:
First, the dichotomy of the people looking into the city, and the chaos and speed of life within that city. Second, I was trying to show the emotions I felt while being in the city for only a few days - rushing, lots of sounds, images, people when in the city (overlays), and a moment to step back and reflect on the experience when outside the city (no overlay, hard cuts). I cut for a variety of reasons, and in the end I thought the overlay and the hard cut was the most appropriate way to show this dichotomy, slowing it down at the very end for a moment of reflection.
As far as stability goes, I appreciate the feedback. I wish I had some sort of stabilization, but I was going hand held, run and gun for the trip. In retrospect, would have loved a bit less shake on some of the shots, and could've done with some sort of stabilization.
Nonetheless, I always appreciate the feedback, and thanks for watching!
