Hey folks!

I think it's time to share what I've been working on lately! I said in my Year 6 video that I wanted this year to be a year of experimentation, and I've already been doing so with my video editing style! For this particular video, New Wave Bossa Nova from Zelda Majora's Mask, I experimented with using the camera slider more, applying a cinematic widescreen filter to the video, and using some color grading techniques. I'm pretty psyched with the result, but wanted to hear from you guys.

What do you think of this style? Let me know! (This video is coming out next next Saturday, October 6th.

I'm loving this new tune! The camera angles add a really nice touch to the video, too!

Does this mean you'll be doing a 2560×1080 upload? I love when people do that because not many YouTube videos happen to be full screen for ultra wide monitors.

First thing's first, the song is excellent, but you asked for comments about the video. The widescreen and colors look nice. For me personally, you're overusing the slider. I am not especially prone to motion sickness from watching video, but watching that made me dizzy and gave me the beginnings of a headache. The problem is that every single shot is sliding and turning. There's no break. And since it is so constant, it highlights the fact that you can only move the camera in one way. A static camera doesn't draw attention to itself. If only a few shots were sliding, it would emphasize those shots, and it probably wouldn't make me sick. :)

Music is great, as always. But I have to agree that the fact that every single shot is sliding gets a bit... tiring. Almost aggravating if you watch it long enough.

Loved the song, arrangement, color grading, and once again the banner animations at the end. Not sure if I like the widescreen format too much, but I feel like it doesn't hurt either. I agree with the others though that using the slider on each shot feels like too much, but it's definitely useful to make some shots feel more energetic!

I think the sliding shots look amazing! I'd just say you can be a little more infrequent with them, and really use them to make emphasis on the high points, especially when paired with the cuts you're making, Out of curiosity, what's your equipment and set-up to get these sliding shots? Is someone helping you? Thanks!

I'm actually just using an overlay on top of the normal 1080p clips, so the upload will in be standard 1080p. On mobile, player conforms to the video dimensions (they might do it on desktop too now?), and I prefer keeping the bars there rather than seeing the video as just a weird wide stretch.

Got it! I've actually never heard of the slider making anybody sick, granted that I've been using it for a video or two now to a similar extent... so maybe it's just focusing on it that's making you feel this way? Regardless, your feedback is understood! I'll be turning down the speed on the slider a lot for future shots (it's at like 80% of max speed, I'm thinking 20%-30% in the future) just to make the shots that much more subtle.

Thanks Jonas! I'll be doing so. The slider is a motorized slider by GVM, I'm doing it all myself. The slider just loops back and forth between two end points along a track, and can be adjusted to track a single subject.
