goobersnuftda 0 #2 December 12, 2006 Good video looks kewl. The one thing I have a personal quirk about is that I can not stand the black vignettes on a poor quality wide angle lense. You can have the greatest camera and video editing software but those damn vignettes just completely take away from the video. I know it is a neet effect but it is like one of those belly mount camera mounts. Sure it looks good and neat and all but it is an effect that if you saw it on every single video, it gets old the 3rd time you see it. other than that, your video is good. Good use of music and a few things I might take some ideas from myself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites davelepka 4 #3 December 12, 2006 Bump your zoom in a notch or two. That will keep the corners of the lens out of the frame, and will help to keep your hands out of th eframe. On that, try to fly without putting your hands anywhere near the camera. If you need to speed up, put them behind your back, or fold them on your chest. Also, think about adding a little up-angle to your camera. When you're on level, and the tandem is way up in the frame, it means your camera is aimed too low for your natural body position. Addiiotnally, pointing it further up will help to keep your paws out of the frame. Edit - a couple other things - try sighting in your camera a little further out. You cam see when they go out of frame when there's a little distance in between you and the tandem. Try using a tree or bush on the other side of the landing area to adjust your sight. This will keep the tandem in frame even with some distance in between you. Just remember that in the case of extreme close ups, you may have to park the tandem on the edge of your sight to keep them centered. About the edits, try not to slow-mo any mistakes, like the pulll shot. You blow the transition, but then you slo-mo it, which makes it look even worse. In this case, maybe slow-mo the pull in reverse, but just before they go out of frame, throw in a fade to black, or an maybe an overlap to the next shot. Just time it so the first frame they are out of the shot is the last frame at the end of the fade/overlap. This way you have every frame of good footage in place, but you leave the screw up out of the final edit. Overall, it's good stuff, but thats what I would look into to shine it up all nice and pretty.

Leroy, trim your box. uh, that just sounds bad. i liked your opening sequence. edit - or what dave said.
