Re: Please review my video. I need knowledgeable feedback

You appear to be right on many accounts so I will try my best to answer your well thought out questions below: 1. I got to cameras I shoot with, The primary is a Sony A6300 you saw in the video I posted above, now replaced with a Sony A6400 using the Sony G 200-600mm lens. The second camera is a Canon M50 using a Canon 400mm F5.6 prime lens. BTW, got a new E-image tripod with a GH06 Head since I posted last, has really helped out but lets address the other issues. 2. You are absolutely correct on shutter speed. I am usually shooting Aperture priority trying to keep the shutter between 1/1000 to 1/2500. Why, well stupid me I guess was thinking with a 600mm lens and fast moving subject, Faster shutter was better to eliminate motion blur. Depending on the day, Aperture is usually F6.6 to F8. To achieve the faster shutter and keep a pretty wide open Aperture (That Sony lens is F5.6-F6.3) I have been setting my ISO to 400. I could easily slow down the Shutter just by going to an ISO 100 but I will let you make recommendations. BTW, what shutter do you recommend while shooting a surfer? Again my fear was blurring and coming from still photography, faster shutter speed is a good thing. 3. Here is where you can crucify me. Your question regarding "What method are you using to set the exposure during the shoot"? I am allowing the camera to set exposure, only have Zebras turned on so as you know pretty much the camera is averaging exposure thus not doing a great job thus white water blow outs on exposure. Beyond what I described I am clueless about what gamma choices to make, set etc. In post edit, as you can see it has been poor results. In post edit in Vegas I attempted to adjust FX Brightness & Contrast + HSL adjust. It looked better overall as I increased contrast but in doing so just blew the white water out even worse. Lately I have given up out of ignorance only doing post edit to clips where there isn't surfing, no white water to blow out. I tried shooting in S log 2, still did not address the problems really. I know there are solutions just not able to address them without help. In reference, I am retired, now living in Bali so that is wonderful but there is not classes to take to address this. Hopefully you and others can guide me on the path. For reference, I posted a recent video clip (see below), all shoot with the A6400. You will see no post editing on this except for on the beach, not surfing clips. The new tripod helps and oddly enough, the surprise for me was the A6400 seems to be a sharper, better video camera than the 6300 over all. The reviews always talked about the autofocus was better on the 6400 but it appears to be better naturally in exposure too. see video of A6400 below but I know it still needs a lot of work. 4. I knew nothing about "Resolve", so as you can see some major issues in my workflow. The great part is it sounds like learning these things will really help. I have never tried to post edit in other software like FCP or Premiere. I would have to get them, learn it so of course the other steps would likely be the first I would address. Thank you for your help. I deeply appreciate it. Jeff |
