I know a lot of kids on here dabble in video editing and stuff, me not really. So let me say that I don't really have a trained eye for that stuff.
But looking back at the ski edits I've seen from pro-level skiers over the past 2 years or so, I can say that for about 95% of them the editing was "fine", meaning I didn't really notice anything about it. Which is good, because bad filming or editing, I do notice as it gets in the way of me enjoying the skiing a bit, like if it's bad I can say to myself "what a shit angle to film this" or "oh god this is such a shit music choice". But my point is that in the vast majority of edits, I don't really notice anything about the videography, it's fine, it just serves its purpose of being a channel for me to enjoy some sick skiing.
But when I saw that Ruka edit last week... Sure, the skiing is pure madness, but the videography is absolutely stunning too. Again, my eye not being trained for that stuff, but it just felt different than the majority of the edits I see, it was gorgeous and unique, and I feel like the videography really enhanced my experience.
It's like when you take a uber, you just get in the car, get from A to B, don't really even notice what car you're in. But one day your uber pulls up and it's the Batmobile.
