Looking for some feedback on my latest film. Two things I took away personally. *Note this particular client wanted more of a "home video" feel. So that's what I delivered.

Two things I took away personally though 1. I have a lot of improving in holding the camera steady. 2. I need to take learning to color grade more seriously.
Any other feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Hey everyone, long-time watcher, first-time community poster here! I absolutely love Justin’s reality wedding style. However, I’m currently looking for the best resources to learn the basics of editing. Do you have any recommendations for YouTube channels or videos that helped you when you were starting out?
Justin’s work really motivates me to edit, but when I sit down, I often feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. definitely a brain fog overload. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: I’m learning on DaVinci Resolve

Cheers to a new year and new beginnings! -Ed

Reminder we will have a film critique today at noon central time with Drew.
Also, tomorrows Dubsado training is going to be pushed. Last minute schedule conflict will prevent me from being able to host it. Check academy for new dates. Thank you everyone for the patience ❤️

Hey Everyone,
I’ve made some big changes starting December 1st, and I can’t wait for you to check them out!
I’ll be cross-posting some content to YouTube, but as academy members, you’ll always get early access to these releases before anyone else. It won’t always be a direct cross-post – some content will be tailored specifically for the academy, giving you even more value.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the style and delivery of the info. When you watch the video, please leave a comment with your feedback. I’d love to hear what you think and how we can keep making the academy even better.
Thanks for being part of this amazing community – your feedback means the world. Let’s keep leveling up together.
