Snow Pirate day promo- critque appreciated

[loosealliance]

Hello

I have used these forums for a while, enjoyed watching everyone's vids and got a lot of handy tips.

I thought i'd post up something myself for once. The clip is my first attempt at a bit of a promo for an upcoming snowboard/ski event that i am running (its a non profit for fun thing so there is no funding). I have footage of really good riders with all the moves but the idea is to get all levels of rider involved and make it look fun.

I had three sets of footage given to me to add to my own so the footage was shot on a Canon 600D, Canon 7D and two GOPROS, conveniently the gopro footage was all shot on different settings ...argggh. so the first problem was that I had to use footage that I didn't shoot and was often to far from the subject and the second was getting all the different files types to work....which turned out to be a nightmare. But anyway heres what I came up with (Watch it in HD if you can).

thanks!

You made it look fun, so there's half the job done. I think it was a little long just for a promo but I'm not a snow boarder.

yeh I agree, it is definitely a bit too long, It would be better at about 2mins max I think, maybe even shorter. One of the problems I always have with these sorts of videos, where I know everyone riding, is cutting out things. I really need someone sitting with me for the final cut saying 'cut it'...'out'...'boring' etc hahah

I'll probably make another one so I'll try and make sure its brief next time.
