This is the first movie I've ever made. I used Adobe Premier and have no experience. I'm hoping to get some feedback from you guys. The ending is a bit abrupt, but other than that I think it's pretty decent for my first try.

you need better footage to work with.

also, try doing some creative cuts to add to the material and kepe it exciting and interesting. when doing this you should have the audio track laid and then do the cuts to match the music as best as possible.

not bad though man.

 

Thanks for the compliments. It's the only footage I have of myself. And the snow lately has been crap. I like ur advice of laying the audio first. What do u mean by creative cuts?

 

instead of having a couple 45 second long continuous clips. break them up into several, short clips. and mix and match them if you want. if you are creative enough you can take completely unrelated things and make them look like they fit together. for example. you have several shots of the car in a few small slides at different camera angles. if you piece them together correctly you can make it look like one huge amazing drift, and youll be the only one that knows otherwise.

watch a lot of professional short films like this or movies. most of them will have a ton of 1-2 second clips of different camera angles with very few long shots, it keeps it exciting IMO.

heres an example of what i mean. ignore the stupid, ugly car and focus on the editting. note how it flows with the music as well.

True dat. Thanks for the tip. Nice ninja edit... kinda

 

werd.

im jealous dude, i wish i had premier.

i took a few film editting classes in highschool but had to use imovie at school and all i have here is windows movie maker.

 

less hiphop music ftw

 

would u rather death metal?

 

I may or may not have a copy of premier from when i was going to school

 

there may or may not be a million torrents for it as well =p

 

I'm a fan of Vegas. When I made the switch, back before Sony bought Vegas from Sonic Foundry, Adobe Premeire was still stuck on the whole A deck B deck linear world. Have they changed yet?

 

ITs ok i like the song is that OZOMatley or however u spell their name

 

ozomatli.

 

It's Jurassic 5 - Long Road to Glory. Ozomatli is good though. I'll try to incorporate them into a future video. And I was using an old version of adobe, 2.0 So I think it's a deck b deck.
