Lorinda and Pete,

I always enjoy a little journey through your cold and beautiful country, Finn-Erik. Nice shooting, I agree DSLRs are a bit of an adjustment.

Lot of fun, Finn-Erik. I really enjoyed the story line, as well as the extensive demonstration of the shots you can get out of the "lowly" T2i. Great job of giving us a different perspective of living in cold climates !

Meryem and Chris,
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

I did look forward to see great films from both of you this round.

Nicely done Finn. I loved the varying angles. The matched action editing was very smooth. Nice cuts to the bear to get you from Point "a" to point "c". So many filmmakers forget to acquire those shots leaving us editors with a challenge to solve.

For a bit of constructive critique, if I may, begin to experiment with color correction. Learn to read scopes and begin to make some very fine adjustments, it doesn't take much, however just a little bit here and there can make the scenes match closer.

I really enjoyed your piece. Thanks so much for your submission and we'll hope to catch ya in the next one! Enjoy your prize, we'll be shipping it off this week!

Finn-Erik,

Well, this was a fun video!!!!! I loved the angles of shots. I was impressed you let that sled fly over your camera!!!!! Do not know if I would do that myself!!!!!

I felt the music was absolutely perfect!

I loved when you moved the teddy's head or body position!

The end was terrific and I had a great laugh!!!

Certainly a deserving winner!!!!!!!
