Jumps were good, Music was fine, general editting was ok.

There are 2 things you really need though: Higher graphics settings when recording (Lawena/Chris' config), and HLAE (third person smoothing stuff).

Also I've said this so many times but I really don't like when there is a cut to third person in the middle of a jump. I prefer full first person then glamour third person stuff, or vice versa. But if there's a really long time where the person is just flying and not actually doing anything, like falling to the ground after a jump, then do anything is fine really. And this is a style sorta thing, and sometimes it's done really well.

And for a couple of the jumps the frame rate just tanked, which sucks quite a bit.

For the jumps some of them weren't really that exciting or difficult. But overall it was still pretty good.

RNC said the most part of what you need to improve.

What I'll add is about the music : it is good but when it has been used multiple times on famous TF2 videos, it's kinda annoying (for me, atleast). Try to work on the transitions between jumps, I had the feeling that you didn't knew how you wanted your video to look like. I mean, it can be very dynamic with very quick transitions based on the music's beat or it can be smooth with slow-mo jumps and stuff... Your video has to look like a set, a global thing.

Anyway, good job and good jumps!
