Thanks for all the great feedback everyone.
The colour grading I chose definately made Elwood look perhaps a little more prettier than it really is but we won't tell that to our interstate comrades.

Nice vid man. Some cool editing work too. How long did the edit take?
A lot of time went into the movie. After each session I'd go home and go through the footage to pick out the bits I wanted in the film. This was easy at the start because all I was doing is grabbing 10 second snippets of me going flat chat but the movie needed a bit more than that to add some interest. So fishing through the footage to find a gybe I nailed or THE jump I did that day can take a bit of time when you've got a hour worth of footage. Say 4-5 hours for this bit all up.
On location filming scenery 30 minutes. The time lapse at the start was 20 minutes squeazed into 7 seconds.
Searching for the news report at the start about 1 hour
Editing - putting the clips together, syncing with the music in parts, slow motion, colour correction I think was about 6 hours.
So all up about 12 hours for a 4 minute video. I do enjoy the creative side of it though so the time doesn't bother me.
