Thanks everyone for the feedback! Every comment really made me think about what we could improve in our next project! Hopefully when we aren’t too busy at school we will produce some more videos.

Definitely a good suggestion. I was thinking this during the video!

Nice work! im not a big fan of shooting on a tripod – but i think in this specific case it could have helped them…

Firstly, congrats on making something cool guys. Nice work.
At that age the most productive thing I was doing was spending the days at the beach.
Its a good starting point, and Im sure you guys are gonna be making epic stuff if you carry on like this and with that good attitude!
If I could offer any suggestion for improvement on a situation like that- if you’re working with one light, maybe try mounting the camera on a tripod after finding your final framing for the image, then use the one speedlite and softbox to light all the elements of the image frame by frame, then do what you did in your post with masking bits and parts in and out.. :) essentially ‘light painting’ the elements in the image bit by bit.
Good luck with the contest!

Man watching the final outro interview should be enough to make all you guys get out and produce something good with what you got! What an awesome project! And to think I was playing video games and destroying golf karts when I was 17….these guys are playing in bands and filming videos for their photoshoots!

wow… this does embody the fstoppers goal I think…. the entire photographic community is so open willing to share “secrets” so we all benefit in that knowledge…. young or old

Wow, we didn’t think we would make it on the front page!

@marius, I think you’re right. We could have definitely gotten a better result. The flour didn’t co-operate as expected! Thanks for the feedback:)
@Let’s Go DSLR, I’m 17, marshal is 15 and Christian is 16! :)

17? Are you sure? They look about 13.
