I thought it was good.

Straight to the point. Fair audio levels of music vs cam audio.

Don't do anamorphic crops unless you plan on stepping back an additional 20ft with every shot you do (you cut off half the image)

Could have worked a little harder on the opening.

Earthquake cam killed it because it was so stuttery and choppy viewing in normal speed at the end there.

Should have identified the riders if possible with a title slate or something.

It's called colour grading?

I think the grading looks great. I'm guessing you used a LUT since some of the blacks were a little too crushed?

I think the anamorphic crop works pretty well, too. Always makes things look a little more hollywood, haha.

I know what it is, i just didn't think it worked. As said, the blacks got crushed which didn't help in the patchy light and In my opinion the colours were too warm

Here's my first ever edit. We started with the intentions of making it a serious street/park edit, then he kept breaking stuff so it just became an edit for fun. It was kind of weird, too. First time filming, and first time using editing software.

Not really a comment on the editing itself but there seems to be horizontal lines that appear when there is any movement in the frame? Or am I just seeing things

I'm seeing it too, now that you mention it.

Thanks for the comment guys. I appreciate your opinions. I know there's a few things I could of done to make it better but a few things I didn't do on purpose (like identify each of the riders) because I didn't want to make it seem like I was copying dirt tv.

Yeah your camera is set to interlaced. 1080i is not better than 720p.

I'm browsing the Used B&H dept but having a hard time figuring what lens has what mount.

A Nikon D5000 for example has a "Nikon F-Mount", except when narrowing down lens choice options on the search results, only options I have are:

- "Nikon Autofocus"
- "Nikon Manual Focus (AI/AIS)"
- "Nikon Manual Focus (Non-AI)"

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?atclk=Mount+Type_Nikon+Autofocus&ci=3018&N=4294247086+4294954754+4294954755+4294954756

If you see above, some lenses have a NOT for use with Digital Cameras. I mean what does that even mean?

Something I know about!


Okay, so older manual Nikon lenses have different metering systems and what not.

With your D5000, you can only meter (using the in-camera meter, of course) through lenses that are AF & AF-D (without autofocus because the body doesn't have it's own focusing motor) and AF-S, AF-I, VR, & G with complete control (metering + autofocus). You can mount pre-AI, AI, & AIS lenses on the D5000 (I do this, occasionally) BUT like I said, the camera cannot meter through them. If you've got an external light meter, super chill just meter off of that. You can also learn how to get decent exposure by assessing light situations. And you can also just guess cause it's digital so whatever.

There are lens and body compatibility tables out on the internet which can tell you exactly what lenses you'll be able to meter through or not.
