My maaaaan editing Kitto, You deserve to beat Storm just for that !!!
Nah more seriously, I'm not gonna lie I'm disappointed by this one. Last competition and former edits you made were so much better. I like the beginning with that little fast forward onto the ropes. You got a bad cut at 0:19. I feel like you don't follow the song. You got a lot of camera angle change which is a bit bad. Keeping only one for the move to not have a change of angle makes it better to follow. Your clips are very long. You could for example cut all the forearms to add more dynamic to it. You came back to following the song from 2:04 which was interesting. It ends cut at the middle of the song. It lacks of "meaning" you know. I feel like there is no point, just cuts, badly made, and way too long on a song nothing more. I don't say this to be mean my man I just think what I honestly think and to make you want to get back into it being more focused you know

Bluevinsmoke: I honestly didn't want to feedback this, I really didn't. It starts off good, great clip choices with synced cuts for entrances and this feels like will be your best video yet, then it starts... I have no idea what the first transition was and this was supposed to be a high speed speed match, even song is pretty fast but this highlight is so slow... You are showing every preparation for a move and not cutting any clips while song is going so fast and this just feels so out of place, there is one clip that is literally 9 seconds long. Forearm exchange part was just painful to watch, it's so damn long and song changes the pace and goes into the chorus while NOTHING is going on. Then during 1:35, song changes up entirely and nothing happens again, not even a pacing change that would match the song, not even when it slows down for the emotional part. There was this one part where you changed the CC for the different part of the song but you ignored the beat so execution felt so damn lazy and it just didn't work. This edit felt like you cut the match and slapped the song after with no adjustment, they were 2 completely different worlds with no connection. It's not a terrible edit because there is nothing really wrong with it but there is nothing about this, there is no quality or any reason for a viewer to watch if they want a well edited highlight with music, this would have been better with commentary. This truly was disappointing considering your previous works what you have put out, I am pretty sure that you are capable of more than just making a basic low effort highlight that some rookie could make in 2 hours.

Bluevinsmoke: Not bad, I did not mind this edit even tho' it was quite simple, I think as storm said some clips were kind of too long so you should have made them shorter or it feels like we are watching a full match, I say this because at some parts I was tempted to stop watching out of boredom so yeah.. sorry about that but hey, you can improve from this and your next edits will be even better. The song choice was nice and the video had good quality so it was not that bad. Keep up the grind man

Yeah, I think everything that needed to be said was already said so I won't repeat many of it but I wanna mention some things. This really didn't feel like your best effort, it felt like you did it just to do it and not because you wanted it or had the motivation for it. I struggle with motivation most of the time and it isn't a bad thing by default, but if it can be seen by the viewer through the video, it becomes a bad thing. The video feels very flat and the pacing doesn't match the song and the peaks and valleys, and while there is nothing wrong the highlight itself and the clips, it really doesn't feel like your edit. It still isn't that bad, but you can do much more and you showed it with your videos from previous competitions, that's why I am disappointed with this one.

I feel like you could've done so much better man, I saw a lot of improvement from you on your other past videos, now I just watched something I don't think you put your heart and soul out. Commitment for videos is always super important and it's important you don't lose passion or focus because editing is something you need to practice a lot especially when you are not experienced enough. For the video though, I feel like this wasn't bad at all, just some clips were way too long and to be honest there was quite few awkward transition thoughoutout the video, definetely needs some cleaning up.

Bluevinsmoke: This feels like those oldschool highlights with just dissolves, which isn't a negative but for a comp you expect to see something more than that. I don't have any complaints but when you consider this is for a comp, it should feel more special.
