My first video - my nephew

This is the first time I made a video and sat down and used an video editing software.
Still struggling using the equipment.... a lot of practice to be done. lol
Would really like to get some tips and learn from the veterans here.

great video but i think the whole pan thing was a bit overused

It's pretty good but I agree that you panned a little too much. It's easy to do.
Some of the Pans were jerky. That only comes with practice.

If that's really your first edited video....you have a good eye!

thank you... I got carried away with the equipment..... first time using it and editing it.

Take a little more time to frame and set up your shots. it'll make a simple production look that much better.

Also, was it on a slider or were you moving the camera handheld? If it was on a slider, it was really jerky for some reason.

Will do.. thank you.... really appreciate it.
I was using a DIY slider... and one of those cheap and small camera dolly ... thinking of getting some aluminum u channels as rails next time to keep it smooth... the ground had some sand and small stuff on it. I have to get used to pushing the camera at a constant speed since it's not one of those expensive sliders that has adjustable tension thingys.

Really like the pan with the grass showing Niko kicking the sand or whatever he was doing haha
