trailer to my first full skate video

alright im new to this site but im currently filming for my first full skate video and i've been filming for the past few months and i have about ten minutes of footy and i'm going try to get enough footy so it can be 25 to 30 minutes long. i have a different set up and style to my film. i have a dvx 100b, i DONT have a fish eye lens but i do have a wide angle lens but it have has a detachable macro lens to it so i take the macro off and i put a step down on the wide angle lens and attach that to the camera. i DONT zoom in at all because i love the mega amount of vig. i love it because it reminds me of my favorite videographer's, dan wolfe, style of filming. also for this video i'm desaturating the picture for less color and un-sharping the picture. the reason i'm doing this is because i'm mostly filming in washington d.c. and city skateing is different from going to spot to spot and its a bit grimier, and also it reminds again of dan wolfe's skate videos, eastern exposure 3 for example. before you watch the video let tell you the audio of the clips are a little high it peak at some moment. also i spelled length wrong at the end, my b i kinda threw this video together in like a half hour for friends. i hope you like, and i'm super open to suggestions and comment and constructive criticism. thanks. and finally the actual video!
 
That vig is pretty gross. Just saying.

Also, turn OIS off when you're filming with a wideangle or fisheye.
 
Get rid of that low light stuff. Looks too noisy. Light where they'll be skating. If that creates harsh shadows, that's fine and way more understandable than dark fuzz. I agree with CMc about turning the OIS off. Last, change that font. Please!

Other than that, looks pretty decent. Try some lower shots on stair sets. You're also going to need something BIG to keep it interesting. I understand these guys can skate, but they need to push their limits or it's going to get boring. I don't know them, so I have no ties to them. It was fine for 2 minutes, but I couldn't watch a half hour of that. GO BIG!
