First P3Pro Video Productions

[h8tow8]

I made 3 little video productions last week, any feedback as to how I can improve would be most appreciated.

- Surfing (Surfers' Point in Ventura, California)

- Newport Beach Harbor, CA

- Ventura, CA Pier

Nice. If you're shooting in 4k, do you really need to export it at anything larger than 1080p? Depends on your (prospective) clients of course, but on laptops, tablets. etc. no one will really notice if it's larger. If 1080p was acceptable, you could experiment with zooming in a little in a few places now and then. You can have a 'close up' of a surfer/boat etc., then cut to the wider shot.

The third one wasn't as interesting as the first two TBH, but was a good example of smooth camera tilt control and a stable Phantom 3 in wind.

Some very nice shots.

Me? Well since you asked . What Mallion said plus a few things. You need some different angles/perspectives on the surf shots, then inter-cut between them. Also, I would have combined all three into a single 1:30 video.

Did you film the first surfing shots from the pier or the shore near Surfer's Point?

Cool, appreciate the feedback everyone, will try to incorporate some of those in my next trip.

I was near Surfers Point (not on the Pier)

Here is my first video production using the P3 and shot in 4K. I really love this new ship.
