I'm reaching out to the community for technical feedback on my recent panoramic drone footage. I'm looking to refine my technique and would appreciate your expert insights.
Equipment and Settings:
I've created two versions of a panoramic shot, rotating the drone to capture the surrounding landscape:
Thank you in advance for your professional insights.
Equipment and Settings:
- Drone: DJI Air 2S
- Video Format: MP4, HLG 4K60, Capcut used for minor editing, HDR preserved.
- Mode: Automatic
- ISO: 100-110
- Shutter Speed: 1/4000 - 1/5000
- Maximum Altitude: 120m
I've created two versions of a panoramic shot, rotating the drone to capture the surrounding landscape:
- Horizontal Orientation:
(Minor color grading applied)
- Vertical Orientation: (Raw footage, no color grading)
- The rotation speed appears too fast to me, likely impacting image clarity. I also think people may want to take it all in with a slower pace.
- Automatic mode was used; I'm considering transition to manual settings for greater control of image quality...if it will help with clarity.
- Color grading was applied to the horizontal version only. I forgot to touch up the vertical video before posting, I think it looks good still.
- Optimal rotation speed for clearer footage
- Manual mode settings for enhanced image quality
- Color grading techniques for consistent output
- Any other technical aspects I may have overlooked?
- What would be the ideal shutter speed and ISO settings for this type of shot?
- Are there any ND filters you'd recommend for similar lighting conditions and this type of video?
- Suggestions for achieving smoother panning motion?
- Recommendations for post-processing workflow, particularly for color grading HLG footage?
Thank you in advance for your professional insights.
