Critique My First Proper Edit

The problem I see with most new editors is that they fall in love with every frame. Very often I toss aside many perfectly good shots because either I have a similar shot that looks better, the shot simply doesn't work with the others or there are time restraints. Sometimes an hour of footage will only produce 2 minutes of really great shots. When in doubt, throw it out!
 
Spot on Beeline.

Editing is about getting rid of the rubbish and keeping only what is good! If you have six good shots of the same subject then use only the 'very good' shot once, because watching the same thing over and over is, as jfriedkin put it, Boring!

On the subject of boring we all know someone elses holiday movies are as dull as dishwater - Right! Well check out the offering of these two guys. No Phantoms, no fancy after effects or transitions but a real eye for editing.
