Z1 Commercials, feedback, thoughts
I'm hoping for some feedback more than help.
I just made these two political ads for my local town: Promotional Ad: YouTube - The Right Choice Contrast Ad: YouTube - Howie's "School Record" I think I've just about got the Z1 down pat (with settings and such). Though I may be missing some bits. Could I get a bit of feedback on the first ad? Should I have run this though After Effects for color correction? The shots are not manipulated. Hopefully I'm not in the wrong posting this. If more info is needed I will try to accommodate. |
It's great as it is. There's nothing wrong with it at all.
In order to attain perfection however, :-) the voiceover is a little poppy, and there seemed to be a bit of a jump before you pan down to the dog, but those points are irrelevant. 100% of your viewers are NOT going to notice either of those things, and will "get" exactly the same point from the film as if you'd fixed them too. Once you attain a certain level of quality in a film, any tweaks are for your benefit, not the film's :-) Have a pat on the back and put your feet up. :-) |
Chris, Thank you for the feedback. The Z1 has grown into a good friend over the years and the weight issue seems nonexistant anymore. I hope the Z5 (z1 replacemnet) is even better.
You know, I need to get me some better audio mics for dubbing. Do you recommend any? Maybe I should have gotten a screen to block the pops form the mic? |
Nah, you just need a screen, or alternatively,some of your wife's tights.
Fishnets may look nice, but they won't stop the popping though! Personally, I don't use a screen - but I monitor on headphones, and if i hear popping, just reposition the mic. |
I agree they are both very good. I would have preferred, however, lingering on one or two scenes in the first one a tad longer. I thought that too many came too fast, but that is just me and was an intial reaction.

Jeff,
I think that that is a point I did not consider. I did think it was fast but I didn't know why! Chris, Do you know where I could get one of those screens? I'd feel better purchasing one that the client(s) can see is professionally made. |
I can't recommend anything to you, as I don't know where you are, but search google for pop screen, or pop filter, and you should get lucky.
I would guess around 50UKP or 100USD? Have fun! |
