Not everyone can inspire the masses like yourself Sieger.
All that said, before I even got into reading the replies I thought it was a great vid. Beautifully shot and I personally liked the decisions you made in post.

Anyway, I really like the video; the petals are a great idea and work really well, especially at 1:18.
The video could have been a bit shorter and used some more locations in my opinion. I'm also not too fond of the font you used. But that's just some minor stuff, overall spectacular work.
The video looks nice, well shot, some minor errors. But the editing needs a lot of attention.
Slow motion is cool and all, but it's a lot too long.
Get a second subject for this length, find a girl who is also good at jumping (get some tension between the two).
Or use more locations to shoot it at.
Not having a story line doesn't mean that you shouldn't create one. With two subjects, or just having more interaction with the sound or the environment you can create a lot more punch.
Look at it like a Bob Ross painting, a lot of technique and a pretty picture but no real story behind it.
Think of a good story first, and then build upon that. (or make it considerably shorter and go for the shock and awe tactic)
Great great job Jordan, looking forward to your next vid!
i could say more but. oh my god.
Seriously. Dude.
How did you get that halo effect around your highlights? ie, what do you mean by "glow lighting", filters or post?
Love the video by the way.
And I soo love the opening shot, "What? He's all wet?!"
Of course, at one point I was thinking "damn, were they picking those up after each shot to keep throwing, or did they have bags and bags of petals?!"
then I smack myself and stop thinking such things. :)
Impressed with the slow motion images.
Please tell me more about the music and the person in your movie.
The person in the video is actually me, I'm twenty years old and live in vancouver canada. I set up the shots with my camera and got my friends to film. Thanks again for the encouragement.
i love the 1st 5 seconds especially nice!
The Besnard Lakes song was an excellent choice by the way, and I like the sync of that song with your landing. Also, there was one petal that came really close to the camera right before that shot and it looked awesome dude haha. That kinda stuff rocks.
Take care!
just keep it up and keep on making these spactacular videos
i liked this one more than the first.
I personally did not like the constant switching of songs, either.
Don't let me get you down, it was still interesting.
thanks and good luck
This is very well done.
gorgeous visuals
youre in vancouver? we should get together and shoot some stuff.
what camera are you using?
you really know your onions!
Your human movements are pretty sweet, but how the hell do you get such silky smooth camera movements?
Done!
Doesn't look like it.
Awesome video. The one thing I think it could do without is the reverse motion pieces. Otherwise, I think it looks amazing and has a unique style.
Thanks for the reply.
May I use this video for a demo to introduce Vimeo on my website?
tks!

... Not to say that it isn't amazing, just merely a suggestion.
Not that I want rain on the parade, but but of curiousity what's the gig with use of music around here, regarding copyright? I notice no credits, licence?
what's great about this video is the energy, and the contrast between soft petals floating in the air and the guy crashing into water. awesome.
how did you get the camera moves so smooth? i saw some sort of rig in the shadow. i also love the way the guy blowing the petals just disappears into the dark background when we see him on camera.
love it.
I hope you get an excellent result after finishing this one for your school project. Wish i had the skills and tech like you do :D
I've got a lot to learn!
How did you do the slow motion and backwards scenes? Which software did you use to enable this?
