Why are all of your videos "centered" like it cuts off a third of the screen the way the video plays in the "middle" if that makes sense.

Stop doing that lol.

Explain further lol I didnt quite catch that. I made this very quickly with a bunch of highlight videos I found so it's not my best work.

But it's probably the program I use if it's something to do with the positioning of the screen.

Nicely done, well edited. I especially like the slow motion dunk near the end where the music stops then starts again on the dunk. The shadowbox is effective in spots but I think it's over used. I'd use it just to highlight outstanding plays. Other than that I think it's very good.

Thanks man, I always appreciate criticism. I had to use the shadowbox more than I wanted to because in the bottom right corner on a lot of highlight videos, people/companies place their "logo" or brand there, so its kind've an eyesore to have it there.

If you have time, check out my other videos. They're made using video games mostly and I'd love criticism on them lol

When you watch it on youtube, the resolution is jacked up and the video cuts off on the sides.

I thought the clips were good but I think you need to switch up the music. The music, as it is, is a little over dramatic for a video of that length. Id maybe start with that but then mix in something that has a little more snap.

Stylistically, the "letterbox" you used was a little reminischent of Guy Maddin, which is fine. It's something different.

Thanks, but what does letterbox mean exactly?

And I used the music just because it's fast paced basically.

Its not truly letter box but its when you watch a movie thats black on the top and bottom of the screen.

I'm not sure if it's called "letterbox, "shadowbox" or something else buts its were the video is in the middle of the screen with a black (or ornamental) border around it. You already explained why you sed it. It makes sense and it it looks decent.
