Export and footage looks so crips and clean, Great job on the coloring as well. Appreciate the review and relative pros/cons was actually very helpful.
Years ago, a film-making friend of mine would confound his mates... According to what he saw, rapidly switching TV channels, he would bark out 'video' or 'film.' Was the show produced by a film camera or a video camera? To him, the difference was obvious. Though almost everything is shot as video these days, the same dichotomy persists - a 'cinematic' look and a 'video' look. I could write a book on the cinematic look, the history of it, and why I like and dislike it. In a nutshell, it stems from two origins - early 20th Century film cameras, and the natural latency of the human retina under lower lighting conditions. Early cameras simply could not produce images with fast exposures, and motion-blur was unavoidable. At the same time, sitting in a dark movie theater, human eyes expected a lower-lighting environment - a.k.a., motion blur. Through a lifetime of experience, the cinematic look came to tell us that we are watching a story. But what about the video look - an experience focused on clarity? As an example, my drone produces 4k 60 fps video - nothing remotely cinematic, especially without ND filters. Instead, I see sharp details, little motion blur, and an intense you-are-there-this-very-second kind of feeling. Very un-cinematic - but *not* inaccurate, or wrong, or even lacking in artistic value. And so my point is this - if I want a dreamy cinematic look, by all means, I am willing to go for it. But I also keep in mind that high frame-rate crystal-clear video is a potentially satisfying option.
An example of mixing technological genres might be tried in a 'behind the scenes' piece documenting a film production -- distinguishing background footage, this could have more of a video feel, whereas footage from the actual film would keep its finished cinematic form. Another example... during televised sporting event coverage, directors will sometimes apply a cinematic feel to previous events as a way of saying 'this did not happen today.' Anyhow, enough of that!
Can the polarization be adjusted on the ND/PL filters. I've always thought that using polarizers on a drone would be very difficult because they are so dependent on the angle in relation to the sun. Thanks

Great video and explanation! I appreciate this.
Hi 👋🏼, I just found your channel and it's great!! Could you do a video on your color correcting/grading process?? Thanks!

thanks for this bru!

Did you shot this on dlog or raw?
