Hey Guys.

I'd love to get your feedback on my latest video and how to improve on it. All comments very welcome!

It features Cork in Ireland by the water during the evening near sunset.

I thought your video was very nice, smooth flying, picture quality look good to me?

Loved the accelerated frame rates intermittently. Well done. Also liked the descending shots in the forested areas.

Sweet lights! Nicely flown

Hi Ronan,
I may give you some help if you're interested in constructive criticism .

• try to cut scenes in video according to music (it can be easy but also pretty difficult, depending on music choice)
• learn to experiment and use various filming techniques - see this tutorial (helped me a lot when I was at the beginning).
• Save up the highly sped up scenes for more dramatic video. In this case it doesn't fit with the music and video character.

What I liked about your video:

• you didn't leave the rough moves in the video - good thing.
• camera settings or color grading seems to be fine in most shots
• you picked some beautiful locations to film (the last scene did the trick for me).

Don't wanna be any kind of rude or something, just giving advises like others gave them to me and it helped me a lot.

Feel free to ask if you need anything

Hey ,

No problem at all - don't worry your not being rude at all. Some great suggestions - thanks !. I'll take them on board for my next videos. I'll take a look at that link and video now. I'm only a few months into flying (using Da Vinci Resolve for the editing), absolutely loving it - am still learning it all but it's great to get feedback from this group on how to better improve.

Re the color grading - I'm still trying to learn this. For this video - I used one of the DJI LUTs that came with resolve. But I was concious that maybe in some shots the colors looked a bit too colorful or something.


Thanks again! - Ronan.

No problem at all.

I'm pretty much a beginner too (just a couple months ahead ) and good thing is to listen to the criticism and use it as a guide for improvement (but if somebody says 'your video is sh│t' and nothing more, then it's just a rant from immature person who would like to make better videos than you but he's just too stupid to do it , you'll do best ignoring those).
