- Here is some 360 degree footage for you to play with on the Frenchmans track. Like the Old Tele track yesterday this is a test to see if you like the option and for me to learn how to edit this stuff into a narrative style video

ABOUT ME:
I'm old fashioned, a bushman and solo Overlander, exploring the Pilbara where I live and Australia as a whole. I'm teaching myself film making to share my travels and experiences with my 1 year old son so he can watch years from now. I'm also sharing them with you, many people will never get to see or go to the places I'm going so I hope you find them interesting. Enjoy the weekly videos, the solo eXpedition's into the Kimberley and the world longest and most remote 4WD track the 2000km Canning Stock Route. There is so much more to come and I'm excited to share it with you.
Join me as I take you around Australia and show you the best solo touring this country has to offer.
Gavin, I watch your video's either on my TV or the MacBook. Using the latter I really enjoy the scope the 360 degrees offers especially when the Cruiser is stationary and you have time to 'look around'. I think it would be more valuable if the camera was mounted on the roof rack as you then would have a better all-round view. I am not sure though if that would alter the forward viewing experience being higher up. The quality of the video was perfect and thus no issue for me. I think having the option of the 360 degrees is fantastic to have in my opinion and I feel it provides for a greater immersive feeling into the landscape. Great video Gavin.
Holy hell this is too awesome
Love the videos a new interesting way to see the tracks. It worked on two of my three Samsung TVs. I can only assume the older model cannot handle the new technical specs of the 360 imagery. It may catch a few viewers out.
My 10 cents, great drive, the 360 has its place, for the most part of this video you would be looking forward etc, so i didnt feel the need to pan. Downside is the resolution is low compared to a 1080p/4k gopro or similar.
Thanks man, really appreciate your feedback. On the resolution, UA-cams compression for 360 kills the quality. The raw version that gets uploaded to UA-cam can be zoomed in considerably before you get pixelation. They murder the video to make it as small as possible hahah
@@GavinGillett Shame about the pixellation..... oh well.
I use a 360 a little bit for my video's but only to reframe after the fact. It is perfect for that as can get some really cool shots that would be difficult to get by yourself.
Absolutely loved it.
My suggestions.
1. I didn't use the 360 and I don't think it's necessary.
2. Why not release 2 videos of your trips. One edited with commentary, other angles etc and one with raw footage such as this video. I for one would watch every video of these unedited front shot videos.
Great work mate.
After upping the UA-cam settings to 1440s or higher, the quality was much better. It was hard to watch without your usual brilliant commentary so I had no idea where you were. 360 degree certainly has its place, but I'm not sure it suits 4WD track driving for hours on end. I think that most content creators are still experimenting with 360 degrees with varying success. It's handy when on a selfie pole so you don't then see the pole but even then it can become disjointed. Maybe try it when standing in a special spot and talking to us so that we can see everything you see, if you know what I mean? Keep it up though mate, if its anything like your drone flying, the skills will be quickly learned. Cheers mate.
I do, the challenge is you cant put this footage into a normal narrative style video yet. Technology limitations, so you either make the whole thing in 360 or not at this stage .... looks like its to soon for this given the feedback i;m getting so far
@@GavinGillett Is that due to the type of camera? If you look at the opening credits of @Expedition Drenched you can see how they've used the 360 degree camera with audio, but it may be a different set up to yours.
@@4wdadventureoz Yep, so there are several ways to use it. You can pull the section you want from the camera and make a normal 2d narrative or you can keep the freedom of funcionality intact so the user can still look anywhere. Still a long way to go before i've leant how to edit this, I have been getting help from aguy on Fiverr because im very time poor
I watched this on an ultrawide at 4k - it needed 4k to combat the compression. Enjoyable just to experience the drive.
replying to myelf - just found out you can use the WASD keys to change perspective, not just mouse dragging, that is neat.
Oh, forgot to mention I ran the video settings at 2160 on my iPad and was very clear😉
Perfect, thanks for the feedback Chris, thats just what I need to know :D
Thanks Chris, I never considered this option - clear as ay. My poor old computer can't keep up with the 4K though, but the 1440hd works a treat too.
Hi Gavin, after reading the comments on this clip, I changed my YT settings to 1440 & 2160 and it's clear as!!! Thanks MJVG78, Glenn Marshall and Chris Turner. So I had another (4th) look at the OTL clip and BRILLIANT! No more blur/out of focus. Mate I'm hooked. 360 is the GO.
Thank you so much for your investment of time and money to bring us these two iconic tracks. Looking forward to many more now. You've probably started a movement, won't be long and all the YTrs will be 360ing. Thank you again. You Legend!!
Amazing
use my 360 (LFDD4x4) to film in every direction then later on i can edit in post to non 360 to get the camera angle i want since ive filmed every angle. great for filming by yourself.
I admittedly skipped through it but also thoroughly enjoyed it if that makes sense. Video quality was perfect in my iPhone and it was a very good view of the track.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback mate.
@@GavinGillett no worries mate, really enjoy your videos and am happy to see you back into it again.
@@Aussiefish86 thanks mate ... still very busy so they might be few and far between but i enjoy it
Gavin, I hope things are going awesome with work and all but I miss ya mate! Hope to see something from you in the near future.
playing it through the UA-cam app on my 55 inch tv at 1440p is clear enough my speed won't allow higher res unless i press pause and come back later. This is almost as good as being in the passenger seat. Have you thought about mounting it on the roof to get full 360 view? I know its not the safest spot
its good to be able to look up a side track as you go past or down the creek
I cast from my phone to a telly so the 360 is lost on me but good to see your trying something new.
Thanks mate .. feedback like that is good to know too :D
Hi Gavin, so good to see you back on youtube again. Have missed your vids and you.
Once you have time to get on top of the editing etc, could you please give us a rundown on the camera used etc. Looking forward to more as and when you can :)
Great video but needs audio
Normally love your work (csr series in particular), format works on my phone as I can tilt it etc but on my big Sony Bravia it's unwatchable via Apple TV/UA-cam app. Just 1 screen full width of warped 180°
Just trying to add some feedback that I hope can help.
Thats perfect feedback .... thanks TM .... it definitly seems like UA-cam isnt ready for this kind of content so this test has been really valuable
The technology is a bit hit and miss, the UA-cam compression is causing some dramas and a lot of people dont have the internet speed to watch it in high enough wuality for it to be worth it .... really helpful feedback .. thank you for letting me know
@@GavinGillett Thanks Gav, I know amd appreciate the time and effort involved filming and editing and was hopeful I could constructively give feedback from my end.
I love your csr series in particular (I always prefer to watch via method above than phones etc)... and yep... living regionally my internet is pretty shit at times.
Keep up the great work and enjoying the travel when you can.
👍
Why cut out the river crossing?
Because its test footage. Don't want to spoil any future content
Good one Gav,especially after I changed some settings on my iPad.Frenchmans is a nice track,and a great run along the beach too.I don't know if you made it to Captain Billie Landing,a nice track too,and nice secluded destination.🙂
Hey Gav I can’t find ya on FB?
G'day mate, FB went to shit ( to political) so I dropped the platform hahah Plus .. I got really busy at work, i've travelled the world with work, been promoted to specialist and having a fat time on the career. Even the filming i do now days is mostly for work hahah
G’Day Gavin, I enjoyed it again. Watched again on my iPad Pro 12’9 and used Apple Pencil to move around. Again I felt like a passenger. You do get some sort of aspect of the terrain as you can feel the vehicle when panning around. When you came out onto the beach being able to pan around gave sense of grandeur and a sense of presence. What beach was was this? Well done Gavin👍
Cheers mate, i'm glad you like it ... that beach was Chilli beach ... a fantastic spot :D
What's going on gav no more Vid's, not travelling anymore
G'day mate .... i've been trying to get out but I keep getting awesome projects at work that are taking my full attention. However, I do plan to do the CSR again. Just not sure if it will be this year :D I have 19 weeks of leave though hahah its coming
Much prefer the standard videos process, stopped watching 5 minutes in, was making me sick, almost like motion sickness.
Nope. Cant watch that. I imagine that's how a bird sees.
I presume you will tell us what this was all about, but if it didn’t have your name on it, I would have turned it off. Mostly blurry vision and boring as hell, just not up to your usual high quality video. Let’s know what’s happening.
I think the bluryness might be your internet connection. These are pretty demanding 5k videos. The only purpose of these is to test UA-cam, to test if people can figure out the moving of the camera and to test the number of people interested or able to view the content because of the demanding nature of the resolution. So far it's not looking good as many people dont have the connection to view the video in all its 5k glory
I like your work mate ..... but I can’t watch this one . I find this type of filming irritable to watch sorry Gav
All good Terry, which part was irritable? The single perspective or the ability/need to look around yourself. I'm thinking 360 footage might be a no-go for a bit longer .... its not turning out as i hoped and many people dont have the connection to see it in full resolution
@@GavinGillett that’s probably what it is , I don’t have the right resolution to appreciate it. But on top of that ide prefer to see your perspective and your thoughts on the track and surrounds. E.g I recently watched two seperate you tube videos on Dirk hartog island, both you tubers do good work but completely different. And for this one really worked for me and one didn’t. And as I like your work I was really keen to see your perspective on the Frenchman s.
@@terryoleary5424 All good mate .. i really appreciate the feedback ... its always fun to test new things and get new perspectives on the world.
distorted
Yeah, if you have a slow internet connection it doesnt work very well sadly :\
@@GavinGillett ahh ok
