i like both!
Hey Brian. Thank you for watching.
As someone who only just picked up drone photography/videography as a hobby a few months ago, this channel is so useful and I learn so much from you Ted. Your keep it simple/focus on composition approach is so different from the approaches that dominate drone YT, and I feel lucky to have found this channel early on, as it prevented me from going down unproductive paths, and helped me see what really matters if one's interest is in making engaging footage.
Oh, and to answer your question, I preferred the color edit.
I agree, I’m always pointing new drone owners to this channel
Yessss! You made my week my friend. I truly appreciate that feedback. I needed to hear it! It’s been a crazy week. Kind supportive words are my fuel. Thank you.
An other great episode, learned a lot! congratulations Ted, I like version 2!
Version one is outstanding. Not to say version two is bad in any way. Version one just gave me a good feeling .
I had a busy morning but I'm back to leave my feedback Ted. I like the second clip personally but the first one was great and the clip was from one of my favorites. Great choice. When you speak about wide shots for the first shot, I like that but my approach at times is different. I like to start close to a target in the center of a landscape I want to film, then fly away to reveal the landscape. Great video!
Fabulous as always Ted! Thank you! 👍👍
Excellent video Ted! Thank you!
Version one is my favorite. As someone mentioned, it has this sense of the mysterious that makes you want to see more. Plus, I also prefer the music in the first one. Feels like it fits better to the whole
Version1, nice!
Excellent again!!! 👍👍👍 Clip #2!
Budd! great to see you here brother. Thank you.
I like the first clip. Very emotional.
Merry Christmas bro again you deliver an array of useful fundamentals that’ll help anyone enjoying these little beasts progress their skill set, hope ya well man and keep the good times coming aye cheers
Thanks for your great tips again! Always love to see new video's from you! I liked the second clip more.. Looking forward to the next video..👍
Happy Holidays Ted, thank you for everything you do for us.
Andrew thank you my friend! Happy holidays good sir. Thank you for being part of our community.
Great..Thanks for sharing..😊
Great video! I do really like Version 1.
Thanks Ted. Great video. Sound advice as usual.
David thank you. And congrats on your Mini 4 and that incredible hospital footage. Wow would love to film that one day.
This video is super helpful. Still the best explanation in the worLd! You're peRfect!
I like the first clip
Awesome video Ted! Thanks! 🙏🏻 The 2nd version is brilliant the first version just makes me speechless! 🤷🏼♂️🤐
Very informative and helpful, thanks Ted
Terry thank you my flying filmmaker friend
1st one! its like end of the movie!
Awesome stuff man. I’d pick the 1st clip by the way. Looked perfect!
Awesome. I've never thought about cropping I'll definitely be trying it out
Awesome
Wow… this was amazing. I knew something was missing, I just didn’t know what it was exactly. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
Another excellent video with great tips. The "2 inch putt" has stuck with me the most, I love the quote and the reasoning behind it. There's so much more to this than just a perfect sunset nested in a city skyline. Always appreciate your realistic view of things.
Eric thank you! Love having you in the community here. Your shot of Salesforce tower is simply outstanding.
That was a good class. Thank you Prof
Jimmie I appreciate it ma man.
Great insights Ted! There are a lot of different elements that go into this whole process. You’ve given me some more building blocks to try to up my game and it’s most appreciated! I LOVE version 1 btw! Something about the black and white and the cold dark city scene just goes well together! Happy Holidays my friend!
Once again and as always, Really great episode Ted!! I vote for version #1. It just feels warmer and I feel more connected to it as a viewer. Thanks for always putting out amazing content brother!
Keith thank you for watching and voting my flying filmmaker friend. let’s have a great 2024
Thank You Ted I am learning so much from watching Your Videos lots of Great Information Thanks🙂👍
Another great and useful video Ted. I’m voting the first video. Thanks and have a great holiday season.
Mike i appreciate it my friend. How is Cubby doing?!?!! Happy holidays.
great explanation from a filmmaker prospective
Ahmed i really appreciate it my friend.
Top content 👑so much value 🎥🌎💪❤️
The tip about cropping into the frame was something else man. I didn’t know this was possible, or so easy. I do mostly Timelapse videos with an action camera. I gave this crop into the frame thing a go with my basic ken burns thing after watching this vid. Super useful info. Thank you.
Charlie thank you for watching brother. Glad you found value in my little tips.
the first one, of course !
Walter thank you sir. hey was Saint Raphael a vacation? great spot.
@@TedNemeth yes, it was Saint Raphael. Thanks a lot !
Version 1 . Thanks fo some great tips, which I will also apply to still photo editing , particularly with regard to isolating the subject and getting rid of distractions🙂
hey Simon. Thank you for watching. Yup as you said…this basic concept of isolating the subject is an age old fundamental that applies to photo & video.
Another great video full of nuggets of wisdom. I did my first two proper drone flights over the weekend so I'm only now realising just how much there is to think about when your flying camera is aloft. I'm looking forward to reviewing the footage and hopefully your tips here will help me make some thoughtful edits 🙂
I love both, but I think my favourite is the 2nd one. Thanks Ted, and happy holidays from Poland!
Hi Ted, once again another great tutorial and great advice for creators with their flying cameras.
Thanks,
Jerry
Hey Ted! Every time I watch one of your videos, my spirit is lifted up and I have a smile on my face. I am just starting my winter break from teaching and this was the perfect video to get me going. I liked both videos, if I have to vote, it will be #1. As others have stated, I am using Davinci Resolve because it is free. I also use Adobe Premier Elements, which is non subscription, for quick edits. Your tips are spot on. Keep it simple, yet it makes a huge difference. Wide shot, medium shot, close in, and don't forget about cropping! Looking forward to your next creation!
Scott! ah man you made my week with that comment about lifting spirits and a smile. There is no bigger compliment for a creator to hear than that. Thank you.
I took your advice on drone setting to Auto and used the Editing Software you’re using. Wow, very simple and my footage came out amazing. Showed it to couple of my friends. Saying that’s the best you’ve done coloring wise. Editing just flowed so easy. Like butta. Your tutorials are amazing. Keep up the great work. Thank you again!!!!!
Thanks for the great tips. I like the second more saturated clip, which to me conveys the impression of a busy and somewhat sleazy city that never sleeps, full of sushi bars, night clubs and all colours of garish neon.
ha yes! i agree. I was going for that….kinda BladeRunner vibe. Thank you Marc.
@@TedNemeth ... BladeRunner ... I love those movies, particularly the cinematography of 2049. In fact Denis Villeneuve is my faourite director, his movies have incredible beauty and visual appeal.
You have great way of explaining things. Enjoyed your video and I am a fan of b/w with that splash of color. So Version 1
Alex man I am super grateful for your support brother. And man you are killing it with those night skyline shots. You got it dialed.
Version 2 was my favorite
John I appreciate the vote. You haven’t posted a video in a while. I hope you didn’t crash?!?!
Hang on … that second shot from the first clip from the rooftop…. That was quality
yes! that is from the movie SIN CITY. one of my favorites of all time.
Your work is solid, both in content and presentation. Both versions are amazing work, each serving a different purpose. You are an artist. The first version is my pick. Your influence is effective. Thank's!
Kirk i truly appreciate that. YOU are the artist. Your work is impressive. Is your SEA of LOVE Foundation still active?
I like the vintage style. So, version 1 has my vote.
Bob! aloha brother. Thanks for watching and the vote. I agree.
@@TedNemeth Any time, Ted. I just love your videos. Mahalo!
It’s crazy how totally different the vibes are in the 2 clips. Color grading and the film like overlay and music, literally make this look like it was shot 50 years ago! Then the with all the punchy colors it looks like 2023.. same clip, same crop?! bananas!! Awesome tip on the keyframes too.. Thank you as always! You’re literally the freshest channel on UA-cam!!
Mr.Bauer i truly appreciate that. I’m trying to find my own style here on UA-cam and not do the usually type videos. The problem is those usual videos get all the clicks. So I’m trying to continually refine my kind of ride-along tutorial style. Hey is there a specific topic you’d like me to cover in an upcoming episode?
@@TedNemeth standby! I’m drafting up an email!
Thank you! for the detailed Tutorial Maestro @TedNemeth. I like Version 1 it's like monochrome approach and it has nostalgic impact 🎉🎥
I appreciate that. I liked your wake park video. Didn’t know the Philippines had that. Drew Binsky says that is his favorite country by far. I need to visit.
Ted you’re just such a cool and likable guy, I never let myself miss one of your videos. Great stuff. Hope to cross paths with you someday, somewhere. Thanks for the great, helpful content!
Peter dang! thanks for the kind note my friend. I truly appreciate it. Just left a note on your Oakland vid.
Hey, great video! Thank you. Both versions are excellent but version one is a stunning b&w. Really enjoyed this.
hey Brett. thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I didn’t recognize your name so i checked out your channel. Quite a variety. You run also? I recently took up running and I think I’m hooked. I’m hooked cause I hate it so much. I think.
@@TedNemeth Thanks for the kind words. I have quite a few videos from the air that I haven't posted but I will soon. And, LOL, I understand that running is not for everyone. I happen to LOVE running. When I was 65 I went to Vienna IL and ran 50 miles. Keep up the running AND run with groups or other people--they will teach you and encourage you. All the best and happy holidays.
Awesome Ted! Looking forward to the upcoming editing tips and tricks. I liked both final cuts the same. The black and white gives it one flavor while the color gives it another natural flavor. Guess it's an individual taste. Although I do prefer your black and white video and photos with the water scenes.
Love these videos - for me, Video One was the one that held my attention best. Overall, some really helpful tips in here - thank you and Merry Christmas
you made my day. Thank you for letting me know you get some value from my playful little tutorials.
Hi Ted, another great video. Learnt so much about scene assembly and subject focusing. I love the monochrome and moody music of version 1 which is definitely my pick. Enjoy your Christmas
Michael I appreciate it my friend. I received your email and I’m putting together a specific members only video this week to address your question. Merry Christmas Michael.
Sweet video... as for the vote... the desaturated one was more intriguing, but the normal was more pictuesque, hope that helps 😉.
I'm slowly incorporating more of my flying camera footage into my videos.
right on. thank you. hey i sent you an email. Questions about Costa Rica.
@@TedNemeth I just got back from there and just sent a reply.
The B&W edition is outstanding! 🖤🤍✨ Another great episode, Ted! 👍🏻
Thanks for the tip: I need to play more with cropping. I do use zoom-in, zoom-outs (Ken Burn's), but mainly on the timelapses, to provide a gentle motion into the image, but commonly do not crop the drone footage.
I always like color but here I prefer version 1. It seems more stylistic. Lumafusion is totally awesome, simple and effective. You may have mentioned it before but where do you go for your music?
Oh oh! ″Amoung″
I liked them both, however, I felt connected in some way to #1. For me, it places the viewer there!
Randy I appreciate it. Is that giant camper yours? Wow that is a palace on wheels brother.
First clip. As always playboy, you are next level.
William! ahh man great to see you buddy.
Version two. For me personally, the story is the city's nightlife and the different colors of lights highlight the vibrancy of said nightlife.
I like both versions. I would publish or share one or the other depending on my audience. Nice work and thanks for the lesson. Cheers from Wisconsin.
hey George! thanks for voting good sir. Cheers from the coast.
Haha! I recognized that Sin City shot. Same taste! Great video!
you recognized the SIN CITY shot!!!! i knew i liked you. What a cool wild movie. Thanks Prof.
@@TedNemeth It’s an amazing film.
Version 1 is AWESOME! If you could make the simulated old film specks smaller I think it would be even better or maybe add grain instead of specs to make it more dreamy.
Great tutorial Ted. Loved how those two trains snaked towards each other with the white squares of the windows popping out in the darkness. 👏🎅 Have a great Christmas Buddy.
hey Chris. yup those trains crossing in the night right in the perfect spot in the frame is just one of those lucky instances.
I guess that’s part of the thrill of the camera hobby…..is every time we turn on our cameras we all have in the back of our mind ….the chance of capturing a bit of magic in a scene. And when it does happen….we rush home to see it on the big screen. Love it.
Thank you Chris. Have a great Christmas.
I liked the 2nd version because of the color and the music... I hope to be that good one day!
did you take that Riverside footage? That morning light is stunning with those mountains.
Wow, thank you for that compliment! I used a mini SE for that one.. As you can tell I'm still learning editing (I used Capcut).
I love all the videos you pump out. Always coming over and revisiting some of my favorites. I wonder what your technique to gathering footage is. I always seem to get back from a spot thinking I have enough, or even too much footage or photos.But then when I get back, and onto my editing software, I realize I should have done so many more angles, or shots. In the last case, I was a couple hours of a drive away. So I am trying to get something good knowing I needed more.
1st clip I liked better. Superb.
hey Charlie I appreciate it my friend.
As always my cheeky chappie from over the pond, great advice, and footage. have a great Christmas buddy.😀
Kevin i appreciate it my friend. I see you picked up that Pocket 3. You like it? I had the Pocket 2 and really liked it. I had to sell it to buy a lens for my LUMIX. But that Pocket 3 made a bunch of upgrades.
@@TedNemeth have to say, now I have the pocket 3, Mavic 3 Pro and the good old Mini 3 Pro I have all I need when out filming foe construction companies. The new pocket has some fantastic upgrades including the mimo app allowing you to control the camera and functions when your a distance away.
Version 1
Hello my friend, very nice Feliz Navidad 🎁🎄
I love the way you teach cinematography/videography. Yes. Yes. All, yes.
New shoot beautifully you edit wonderfully you color grade wisely.
About both of those clips. The black-and-white first one was awesome. Oh what a feeling. And the feeling lingered it sustained.
Now about the second clip, it felt very modern and crisp and grandiose. But it happened too quickly. My brain could not grab onto it the same way. It was just another day. It wasn't a special memory from the past. In black-and-white.
I think overall. I prefer the first black-and-white version. And the soundtrack was great.. The soundtrack was tops. It was perfect. I don't remember hearing anything for the 2nd one? It just went right by me. It did not touch me. I was merely a passenger on a jet airplane going by. It did not move me like the first one did.
I was an avid photographer. Since I was, dual digit age. At around 11. I acquired, both a telephoto and wide-angle lens adapter. For my Kodak 110 Insta Maddock! And came with a special viewer. You could pop on top of the camera. To compose your photo better. And as I recall 1/60 th of a second. I think it was a, F5 .6 was it? And fixed focus. But now I had a wide-angle and telephoto lens adapter. I felt like a Pro at 11 years of age. Daddy had a, Contaflex. With a 2.8 F, 45 mm lens and a Leaf Shutter. Meaning. You could sink strobes all the way up to 1/ 500 th of the second! You couldn't do that with Focal Plane Shutters of that era faster than 1/60. But daddy didn't have a strobe.. Daddy had flashbulbs. Only Professionals had those big, Honeywell Strobes. I always wanted one of those. They would make them much smaller by the time I would get one. As I always thought those early strobe lights, looked cool. And made so much more sense than, flashbulbs! I'm so glad flashbulbs died! It was so archaic so, 19th century. Stupid little clear plastic enclosed,, flashbulbs. So they wouldn't explode! With glass shrapnel flying in all directions. I do not miss those days! I have my Incident Flash Meter. I have a half-dozen strobe lights and slave triggers. It used to be fun 40 years ago. With my, background cyclorama, silvered umbrella soft lights. It was the last of the good old days in the late 1980s. Before cellular phones and computers took over our lives. I can remember those days before computers. Oh my God! I'm a fossil!
Yes I remember payphones and leaded gasoline. I remember TV stations going off the air at night and signing on at sunrise. I remember when we got all of our new music from the FM radio.. I remember Wolfman Jack and Casey Kasem and me. On Baltimore's #1 Album Rock station back in 1976. When rock 'n' roll radio, meant something. When, it was a way of life. When we looked to them for guidance. In the music happening today. And how it changed all of our brains. How it unified us, Democrats and Republicans alike. We were, Americans together as one and completely independent. That's what makes us, different..
But some Americans today are misguided. They want to tell other Americans how to live. And then defend themselves. That's not how this works here in the USA. That's gotta stop. It will only lead to our countries destruction. At we simply can't have that! Regardless of policy and political affiliations. Our nation and the American people come first. Not agendas. Not budgets. But people. Okay so we are in debt. We will go further in debt. We will continue to go into further debt. Oh well. It's what American citizens need. And lowering taxes? Are you kidding me? No. The opposite needs to happen.
(More Beautiful People in a Beautiful Country in following post)
I always enjoy your videos, and this is no exception. Great stuff!!
And I prefer the first one. The only thing missing is the deep, gravelly, two-pack-a-day voice narrating it: "New York City: a sleepless den of dirty sidewalks and broken dreams..."
version 1
Not really fair to ask which one we like better, because they're both individual movies in their own right! I do like the film noir feel of the desaturated clip, and you gave it a little bonus ending that the other clip didn't have which made me feel like I was watching a little piece of the movie Sin City. I've been using your cine stick settings since you put out that dedicated video about them, and love it, although I sometimes forget how slow the pan is! I also love your little trick of the slight zoom and pan crop in post. I'm using it A LOT! Thanks for another great video. Have a wonderful holiday!
David you are the man. And you’re absolutely right….that clip is from SIN CITY. You are good. What a great movie. I’m usually not into violent movies….but that was amazing.
Loved your recent autumn tribute video.
Happy holidays David.
Great one, Ted. Very informative. I like version one. It seems to roll back time and had a nostalgic feel. Version two creates anxiety, like you're going into the big city and you're probably not prepared. Great episode! -Tom
hey Tom. I really appreciate it my friend. I had search to see where Marco Island is located. holy smokes that is beautiful. I didn’t know parts of the US were that stunning. Its paradise.
I have a Ted Nemeth folder in my brain and have added more very useful information to it.
Cheers Ted!!
I'm not sure which version I preferred...both had very different feels which I enjoyed. The colours of the city always excite me.
yes! love it Timothy. Thank you.
I prefer the clip with more color, but I like the music you used in the primarily B&W edit. Thanks.
hey Jeff! yup i like that song too.
Version 1 was awesome. So many rules to follow...ugh! Color grading is hard for me because im slightly color blind. So, trust me when i say the video i see is probably much different then the video you see. Lol! Recently went out and was droning a snow covered lake....looked great on my phone as i was droneing and filming....got home and the lake is basically blown out from the snow. SAVED what i could and it is what it is.
I agree about the editing software. I use Filmora and it works fine for what I am doing. Like i always say, u hand me Eddie Van Halens guitar and im gonna sound horrible....hand Eddie a cheap 100 guitar and its gonna sound like a million dollar guitar. Gotta master the basics. If we dont talk before...Have a merry Christmas and thanks for all the teaching you did this year...rock the 2024 new year. You are appreciated my friend! Rock on!
Loved this one Ted. I liked the second clip. Like # 141.
Dave congrats on your Jamaica trip. Looks beautiful. Much warmer than Canada right now.
Ted, I liked them both. But, #1 for me, it felt like it placed the viewer in the scene.
Version 2 - I enjoy all the colors of the city. Night flying is awesome and scary, but obviously pays off!!!
yes i totally agree. Night flying is exhilarating & a bit scary. Not being able to see cables or small branches etc. But there is just something cool about slowly exploring at night with a camera up in the sky.
I liked both, the first takes you back to the old thirties and forties black and white days, the second was good also. Toss up here. How would the second one look less saturated but still in color?
I, personally use Davinci Resolve Studio and am not familiar with LumaFusion. I imagine it would be suitable for those who don't want to deal with a complicated interface. Good info for those that struggle with what is good cinematic footage.
Of the two train scenes I am drawn to Version 1. I have done B&W footage in the past and it has its niche under certain circumstances. Happy Holidays Ted 😎👍
David! hey man. Happy Holidays.
I like the 1st one better.
hi ted. have you ever tried the HSL saturation technique? i use to to desaturated the highlights more in city shots. it can help in all the artificial lights and make them look natural. it only come into play sometimes but you can control sat in either midtones or highlights so very useful
hey buddy. I have not heard of the HSL saturation technique. I’ll look it up. I’m not very knowledgeable on advanced color grading techniques.
Another great video that shows, that cinematography has little to do with special LUT's, filters, "better" cameras and so on. BTW I prefer version 1. I had just another idea, Ted: What, if you would have placed the camera just a bit more to the ground to hide the tiny portion of the train coming from the right behind the other one. The result may have looked like both trains would have melted into eachother. Just an idea. Merry Christmas.
I love em BOTH...but I'd have them purposed differently? Long story short, I pick Version 2... I love how the Mini 3 Pro captures Low light color footage #Salute and Thanks again for more GREAT Tips and Tricks!!! I appreciate you Bro!
Thanks for another great video Ted. Video 1 was the best. I would still like to see how you fade into a video where you just appear, Have a lovely Christmas.
hey steve! I’m going to include that in an episode about my favorite drone tricks. But I’ll tell you right now how to do it:
The drone needs to be very still (no wind). record a short clip (Clip 1) without the subject in the scene (just a few seconds). Then quickly record Clip 2 with the subject moving across the scene. I say quickly because the drone has to be in the EXACT same spot.
Then take the 2 clips in your editing timeline and put a fade from Clip 1 to Clip 2. Done.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I think that trick looks awesome. I will look forward to the Trick video and trying it out and wowing my family and friends. @@TedNemeth
I do have a coupe of drone videos I have taken if you want to have a look on my YT channel.@@TedNemeth
Version 1 is my favorite. I’m a sucker for that kind of mood…The detective…Humphrey Bogart…The music is so spot on!! I loved this tutorial!! 🤘🏼
On the software side of things, thank you! One can easily feel stressed out about trying to get the best thing only to use 3 options or whatever. I’m definitely look into this Luma software
right on! thank you for letting me know you got some value from my playful little tutorial. Please let me know if there’s any specific topic(s) you’d like me to cover in the future. Thanks again.
@@TedNemeth actually, there’s is this one thing…Can you go into photography?. We droneheads are used to “lowest ISO to reduce noise” and “48 MP” formats, and ”go RAW or go home!”…But; when do we hit the “too much” barrier?🤔 Considering file size, do I have (or need) filters to take great pictures?…which ones?…none?. I know that there’s long exposure…but how do we approach the rest, “Nemeth style”?🤔
I said “1 thing”…sorry about the gazillion things I mentioned 😅
Hey brother! I wrote those down. Will address them in a future episode. I’m not super experienced in the photography dedicated mode….meaning I mostly pull frames from the 4k video and that is my photograph. @@cogotexx
@@TedNemeth see? That sounds like “Nemeth Style” to me 😅 Thanks a lot my friend. I’ve taken lots of screen shots from my videos 🤣 Rock on 🤘🏼
Again, a nice piece of work / art from you! I like both versions and cannot decide. It depends, whether the scene is part of a bigger "movie" (than No. 2), if it stands as an individual piece of work, I would go for the more artistic version. no. 1. Merry Xmas Ted!
Version 1... its more dramatic 😊
i must agree. Ah man I have had astro photography on my to-do list for a few years now. Gotta try it.
THANK you for keeping your videos short!
Thank you for teaching your keen knowledge!
Why 24fps not the 30fps default?
Doesn't cropping tend to cause towards pixelation??
What bridge is that facing?
I vote for second version
hey my friend. 24fps vs 30fps is a matter of taste. I choose 24fps because to my eye it looks more natural. I think 30fps looks a little too digital. You asked about cropping…..a little cropping in 4k footage will not affect the perceived quality. Especially when posting online given compression etc. There is a limit of course….you can’t crop in like 50% without seeing some pixelation. But if you’re cropping like 10% - 20% you’ll be fine. I always encourage people to do their own testing also. Try cropping a clip at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% etc. Then post that clip on UA-cam (keep set to Private)…and see with your own eyes at what crop level can YOU notice a decrease in quality with 4k footage.
Really enjoying your approach!!! Love your input on good cinematography tips! option 1 was loaded with emotion...!! I have a question..very practical...I am editing on PPro CC with 32 ram PC, even tho footage are in proxy, it is soooo slow..how to deal with this...should i cut the filming into shorter sequences while flying?? !!
thank you.
I suggest using a MUCH simpler editing program. Editing will be MUCH MUCH more fun. When something is much more fun …the results improve substantially.
A more complicated editing program will not improve your videos.
Only improving your cinematography skills will improve your videos.
I hear the editing program Cap-Cut is very simple & highly capable. I have not tried it yet.
@@TedNemeth hey thx! do you mean that using LumaFusion or Cap-Cut will handle big size file much easily? Just started your course by the way...half way!
OK tried filmora since Lumafusion is for MAC ...definitely it is much easier to process!!
I like version 1 better. It has a better balance of tones. The chick in red adds great contrast and mystery. Great video as usual, Ted!
Darn! Just started playing with Davinci and although catching on fast. It is way more then I need. My drone videos aren't that great to begin with. 🤭 If I just pick up just one of these tips. It was worth the watch. Have an awesome Holiday my LI friend.
hey brother! I’m looking forward to meeting up sometime soon. The last few months have been crazy but finally settling down.
Maybe collab on an episode?
That would be awesome. Being I'm so far from your skill level. It would be at your own risk. LOL
Hi Ted, a lot of gems packed into that episode! Both of the videos are great, they each have a different feel, so I'm not picking one over the other, love em both. I use Davinci Resolve, not because of its extensive feature set, but because its free, which suits a hobbyist on a budget, and it's not hard to pick up the basics.
Out of interest, where do you source your music, sound effects etc?
hey Richard! thanks for watching & commenting. I’m currently using EPIDEMIC SOUND for my music & sound effects. I like it but I’ve also been testing TRACK CLUB which I really like too. I’m paying for both so i need to make a final decision soon!
Great tutorial, both versions at the end were really nice. Would it have been possible to have the background in a hyperlaps while the trains crossing would be in the slow realtime speed? Just curious, i thought that would look cool..
hey Scott! so a background hyperlapse but the forground (subject) in real time speed?……hmmmm. Yes would be VERY cool. That would require some very sophisticated masking. I’d like to see that.
But nothing about me is sophisticated….including my editing skills.
