Then there are the learning curves for each of the cameras (Canon 77D, GoPro Hero 4 Black, and dji Pocket 2), the learning curves for each of the apps associated with those cameras, and finally learning the software to post-process and produce cogent final content to upload.
Two of the most problems I have had are with:
- Creating a workflow for aggregating all the clips and stills from the week into a useful file structure
- Post processing the individual clips. Lately I have taken the approach to work on the clips individually ie. color grading and stabilizing and trying to make each clip stand on its own prior to producing final content. Have been doing the former in DaVinci Resolve 17 and the latter in iMovie. iMovie is totally inadequate and unforgivable for in-depth post processing but very easy to put out the final product. DaVinci Resolve has been fun to learn on a clip by clip basis. Bottom line, I need to get better at filming the clips to start with.
I didn’t get into the studio this week to paint. Totally infatuated with having all this fun learning!
Enjoy this week’s “Island Times 003”
