I wanted to show off some of the post production stuff I've been playing with. I'm not claiming this is any great work of video or anything - it's more a playground for me to explore what I can do in post production, and how I might want to set up my video settings to best leverage that. So let's start with the video.
For the first scene, I put the drone in T mode and I recorded in 4K60, with an ND16 filter on to compensate for the glare but still try to get some shadow. Wish I could have recorded in 4K60 HDR but that's not a thing. This let me capture the birds flying in super slow motion at the end. In post production, I used a smooth speed ramp to both speed up past some rocks, and then slow way down as the birds were taking off. I also saturated the color a bit.
The second scene was shot after the sun set, so I took off the ND filter for this one. Recorded at 4K30 HDR. In post production I gradually zoomed in to the center of the shot to bring the Golden Gate Bridge closer than it really was to the drone.
The final scene is just using a bunch of speed ramping to get to the money shot at the end.
