yea me too..... still learning. will address that in future vids.

the critique in here does help alot, in making better and better vids.

That's a good attitude to have man, always looking for ways to improve is your first step to supreme success!

As a cinematographer myself I'd give the following comments:

1. Way too much jib footage and some of it stretches on too long (gimmickry)
2. Watch your focus on the jib shots (watch it in general really)
3. Too many jump cuts used out of context
4. Try to tell a story rather than just stringing together all too similar clips
5. Put more effort into camera stabilisation for the in-cabin shots
6. Car enthusiasts love hearing motors, put more effort into capturing good clean audio and let your audio be the champion of the vid while the music provides the ambience

Finally, last but not least

7. Tell the owner to get rid of the ricey HKS SSQV!!! :lol:

Well done, its comforting to know the local videos quality is actually improving.

I agree with the focus part. Seems you missed focus on the car for some of the shots. Not sure if that was intentional of accidental. Maybe try stopping down the aperture to get a wider DOF.
