Hi gurus!

I have just edited this drone film of the Vitosha mountain (Bulgaria) covering an original piano composition from one of my friends

Do you like it? Anything that could be improved?


Thank you!

Nice colours, composition and textures. Nice to have Ellie in there ... Good piano too!
Only thing I'd have done differently, would be to 'dissolve' between scenes, rather than snap from one to the other, simply because I think that would go with the laid-back music a little better. Great though ...

It's a nice piece. Constructive feedback would be to buy a set of neutral density filters and learn how and when to use them. Second point is never to edit on a note change unless you want to drive home a point...editing on a music change is like adding !! at the end of a sentence. If there isn't some cue for the viewer to note, they are left wondering what was the point!

Lastly, go easy on colour correction in post. As soon as something looks not quite right (purple tree bark, for example) it makes everything else take on a degree of unbelievability. If you want your story to be believable then keep things true to their natural colour and hue.

Lastly, disregard all these suggestions if you know what you are doing!!

Thank you Fox! I'll give a try to smoother transitions and see how it goes

Thanks, Level for this GREAT feedback. I actually used ND filters for this shooting. Is there a specific shot that shows a misuse of the filters? I love your point on having a transition on a note change. I had never thought about that. I'll keep that in mind for my future videos and modify a few sequences in that one to remove a few! :D Your last point on unbelievability is very pertinent. I guess my problem is that some shots have unreal colours and some other not. I'll try to harmonize that
