    UA-cam showed me your Bali video and I watched it. It was intriguing to me in a few different ways so I stopped around to your channel and watched this "filming yourself" video. It too was intriguing in a few different ways. Then I looked at your channel stats and saw that you are a pretty hard working girl.
    I enjoyed the videos that I watched and I wish you the best.
    I have the Mini 4 Pro and that is the drone for you. It will knock your socks off to use an American colloquialism.

    Wow, love your cinematic sequence Laura! It's incredible.. Can't believe you did it by yourself. And thank you for sharing all those tips. I'm getting started with videos and that's exactly what I needed. Just to confirm, before you started cutting and assembling the clips together in your timeline, you pick the music first? Thanks x1000

    Great film sequence and thank you for all the tips and explanations. I would have really loved it if you had moved your head towards the camera and looked into the lens in the final sequence. You have so much presence. You are probably not even aware of it yourself 😊

But will begin with my Camera once it's out the shop! (@#$%&) So your video as always are truly TO THE RESCUE! Been having problems with Gimbal but that seem to be o.k now ?! So now I can actually CUT ON THE Damn phone apps 😂😂😂 Had to #Calibrate the thing and was going nuts to find out what was WRONG ?!😂 Hope the Sony (camera)wasn't the same Geez ?!😂 Wishing you well as always ❤

    • @LauraBC
      @LauraBC  9 місяців тому

      You’re most welcome! 😍 So glad you enjoyed it! I just started using DaVinci and it’s definitely more complicated than Final Cut Pro. But also way more complete in terms of tools, possibilities when editing and most of all, colour grading. It will take me quite long to get used to it and learn but I bought a course because I do think is worth it. Love it! ❤️
