So I finally found a propper mud hole and after some private sessions remebered to bring a camera along.
With the camera rolling I thought I needed enough stuff for content and didn't really think about a break. I moved around alot the whole time only stopping to catch a breath.
But now that I actually have to edit this into max. 10 minute videos I do find it difficult to decide what to keep and what to cut out. The raw video is about 1 hour long.
I dont want to make this a 10 part series (no viewer will make it past part 2) and so I started to cut away some stuff (mostly just me catching a breath). Only to realize it became just a collection of endless jump cuts.
Did anyone face a similar problem or maybe have a suggestion?

One thing you learn early on is "shoot for the edit". Plan for transitions/fades/jumps while shooting. "Watch" the video in your head while shooting and you'll find yourself saying" well, that's enough of that angle. I'm bored". If you are hand holding the camera, learn to hold it rock-steady and never use the zoom. Nothing on earth will make editor-you want to strangle camera-you like the perfect shot ruined by shakeycam that looks like you are having a seizure.

One good trick for editing continuity is to only make cuts on matching model positions, i.e. both hands in the down position, or head back, etc. That way you can cut out a minute or two without making it look like a radical time-jump. To do this successfully, you need to employ the "look ahead" method - find a good cut point and then roll forward in the footage until you find a good matching point to cut at.

It's easier to edit with more footage than less. Also gives you permission to have more material to play with.
Do you have more than one camera available?

I do have another camera. But that thing seems to hate me. Everytime i bring it along it somehow ends up not recording anything; of course it works when I try it out at home.
The thing about having more material to work with sounds fine. But I like videos where people just enjoy rolling around in mud and have a good time. Which is exactly what 90% of this video is. So I have to cut away all the stuff I want to see.
