[VIDs]Slycooper's Editing Series!


Hello everyone, I'm learning how to edit in Adobe After
Effects CS6. I want to gradually learn more and more and I plan on doing that
by starting this video series. I want to progressively become better at syncing
and effects, and better my eye at this stuff. I'd appreciate constructive criticism,
thoughts, and comments on ways to improve. Submit your replays [HERE]
I'll try to do these every 7 days.

SUBSCRIBE TO THIS THREAD SO YOU DON'T MISS THE VIDEOS!

Beautiful.
The song gettings louder and replay faster at the same time was amazing, i didn't like how the replay changed. If the freerunning replay had that kind of part where's like a huge leap or something it would have been better if there was such thing or something instead of that punch, you get my meaning?

I get what you mean, it would have been more dramatic than having a non related replay to it right after.
You uhmm wanted this?

@mods: he told me to post this here don't hurt me

ARARA DROPKICK I BAN U POSTIMNG REPLAYS IN MY ART BAORD

that was pretty cool, i like your use of the camera, the shots look intentional and chosen rather than lazy.
i agree with milk tho, came across as one piece, rather than two separate replays, it needed an extra shot befor the second replay, just to link them and keeping the same shader/colour scheme

nice work, looking forward to seeing more.

pennis and also dicke and balls
Week 2, the replays only seems to be synced only on few spots with the music and rest is done with effects, perhaps either choose replays with less boomers or pick a bit more fast paced music.
I liked the usage of effects in this one though, only the black stuff in 0:26 is quite ugly IMO.
0:35 was awesome.

Yeah, syncing is main problem, and I'll be trying to focus on that more than effects in Week 3. Thanks for your input, it's hard to get an idea of what's good and what's bad when you're starting out in this, because not many people critique :c

100% synced videos are predictable, isnt always necessary and sometimes boring. but i agree that using effects to add sync is so 2010

i liked the action happening on the down tempo stuff

overall was nice, but pretty straightforward and normal.
a few good replays of people bashing uke, somewhat decent camera work and a few effects that didnt feel natural (please never ever use that pixel effect again)
also, could have left the blood on in most cases, it didnt feel right without it.
colour spectrum was good, as andre said, i liked that cutline effect that you used at the start, macperfect used to use that quite effectively aswell, surprised me that it worked for transitions aswell, it isnt too obvious, and combined with the freecam, it could work really well.

dropkick needs better textures and joints though, moments like 0:17 and 0:20 are almost like texture/character showcases, and a bad set can ruin it.
well maybe just new joints, that colour is gross on everyone except nuthug
