2 Pro Silhouette - Utilizing Black Foreground for Effect

[RadioFlyerMan]

My latest cinematic endeavor. I had great difficulty with many of the shots in post. The crushed black areas were pulsing in sync the rear light pulses on my M2P... certainly an unusual situation. But I suppressed the interference by applying color shape masks to those areas and cut their exposure way down.
Enjoy!

Update: here’s a link to the issue with black areas in video with the M2P.

So much Cinema effects being created , lots to learn from this as well.

Wow! That was beautiful. So many clever effects too.

I like that composite of the sky changing, starting at 2:58.

I was scratching my head trying to figure out how you did that. Especially because there was an interesting streak in the sky that looked like a comet trail which didn't move at all through any of the shots. But then I realized it was just a greasy fingerprint on my screen! D'oh!

Dale, thank you for your kind words. Glad you liked it. Hopefully someday I’ll be back with something new.

Thanks. I’m glad you picked up on that “transition” segment. That was a combination of clips captured over several weeks. I marked a spot on my lawn to hover over, then pointed the camera at an object (a bush) in my backyard. I then turned on tripod mode and recorded as I flew directly up. The clips were matched in post by using the foreground trees. The effect I was going for was exactly what you picked up on… a consistent moving foreground with a changing sky.

Your creativity is impressive--thanks for a fresh look at drone-based imaging.

Refreshing and lovely to watch, you have inspired me to dust off my M2P and get out there again.
