Video Entrepreneur Taking Photos; Input?

[Cameron Payne]

Little background, I'm 23, started working with FCP in 2005, directed 2 full length ski/snowboard movies, looking to get into car videos.

With all the stuff I have going on in the winter I finally decided to register my own LLC (4REEL) I just bought a Canon T3i with full video rig lenses yada yada yada. I'v shot photos with a D200 and a D7000, nothing professional but more for fun because I had access to the cameras. I went with the canon because of the manual video features but the benefits of the 18mp sensor are great, I feel like I can frame a shot pretty well but I want input on how to make it look gooooooood like I see many of you do. I'm not a photoshop pro but I'v taken photoshop classes at the local community college, I'm looking to take it to the next step, here are some examples of some recent work with the new camera.

The video is not bad, you definitely need a lot of practice though. The slides are mostly smooth but you are jumping around from clip to clip far too quickly. If you hone your editing a little I think you would be in decent shape.

Not trying to be a prick, but I work with a lot of video as well and figured I would help with some constructive criticism.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Some of the shots look a little shakey what rig/handle are you using for the T3i?

[Cameron Payne]

I have a home made spider dolly, along with a custom carbon cage/handle, I see the shake too, something I'll have to work on, I'v only had the camera for 2 weeks but I think i'm figuring it out.
