New video edit
 

Im trying to improve my editing skills, here's my latest video I've done featuring my race car.

thanks for watching.

Your music is overpowering

Lightning needs to be looked at

To much waiting for something to happen

Keep your shadow out of the shot

Whilst some of the locations were ok others seemed poorly used

To me it was slow and boring, with more focus on 5he music, which I didn't like (I'm old)

Whilst you may find my critique harsh, it is only my opinion of things you could look at to improve, to my eyes and ears anyway.

Fixes

Sound to start with, it's a car vid, I want to hear the car.

Then look at lighting

Then content, make it fun, exciting, and show the car in detail.

Enjoy yourself

I like the first shot and the last. I also like the shot @ 1:50 -1:51. Videos have a formula for the time in seconds each clip lasts. Usually clips are 1-8 seconds long, then put all together. With a few longer clips mixed in for effect like your first and last shots. The pace of the video should build somehow, with some sort of payoff for the viewer near or at the end. I agree with the critique above too.




I taught myself to use Corel draw (like photoshop), it did not happen quickly. Keep at it, you'll get it.

What camera you use? The aperture is not correct, needs better white balance.

Thanks guys, obviously I have no idea what I'm doing. So all feedback is appreciated.

Im using a gopro hero 5 and a canon t5i

Everyone starts somewhere, over time knowledge and skills increase.

Keep on keeping on

good videography is hard to do.

cut your scenes down, or alternately add more action or movement to those stationary scenes. find ways to involve your music (more action at a climax in the music, scene change on a beat drop, etc.)

i've always thought the video below was a good example:

That is the video that kind of inspired me for mine. However I was shooting by myself.

Yeah you'll get better with some more camera time. It's really hard to shoot by yourself because you can't get panning shots of your moving car.

I'm no pro but below is a video I made a few years back. Editing was the longest part of the project. I really tried to get some key compositions, such as the scene of the corolla coming in from the background to the scene at the end. All the other stuff in between was filler but I trimmed down a lot of footage to make it have a decent pacing to match what the music was doing.

Your video is so cool, I'm in awe. :happyanim:
I wish I could do something like that)

You should consider using a gimble, tripod and suction cup car mount for your camera.

Even on the cheap, a basic tripod an an elastic band can land you some pretty smooth sweeps for video footage. Simply put the elastic band around the tripod handle and pull: This will absorbed the rough movement and keep things smooth :)

If you are beginner then it was a good effort. More efforts will bring you towards perfectionism.

Off topic but.. I LOVE your CF fender fins!


Keep on practicing and the edits will get better! Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:
