Video of my town in Scotland during the lockdown.

[Eewan]

Nice color grade man. Beautiful little town.

Thanks dude, appreciate the feedback.

 

[Eewan]

I enjoyed your video - thanks.

I didn't notice the distillery though. ?

Haha, the brewery is actually hiding just behind the old stone bridge

 

[Eewan]

Beautiful video, Eewan!

If the Fergus Ewing hasn't contacted you for work to promote more of Scotland I think he should because I really want to come and visit now.
And yes, i had to look up who the minister for tourism was in Scotland. Turns out he is the Cabinet Secretary.

Thanks, I'm still waiting to hear from Fergus - any day now

I had to google him too

Beautiful! Nicely put together and gripped me. You showed our country nicely. ???????

My little town has its charm, but it doesn’t reach back through centuries.

When we were traveling through Scotland, it was mind-boggling to realize just how far back some things go.

We got married in St. Margaret's Chapel, Edinburgh Castle.

It was built somewhere between 1124–1153.

Great wee film Eewan! Saw parts of Strathaven I didn't know existed, didn't see the golf course though, or did I miss it? - I'm a member there

Wonderful video! Just wish you'd panned a bit slower in your first pass thru the town. I like to read the shop names . Great mix of shots--the bee, the leaves, the hyperlink driving scene. Music was spot on. What was it?

Thanks Drumsagard, don't worry you didn't miss the golf course, I'll maybe include it in my next one!

Thanks very much Hauptmann. Sorry about the shop names, it was actually one of the driving shots which is why the pan was probably a little quicker than idea;

The music was, 'Pass me by' by Alsever Lake.

Thanks Drumsagard, don't worry you didn't miss the golf course, I'll maybe include it in my next one!

Maybe I'll see you there, I've permission to fly on the course whenever I want.

Excellent video! One of the best I’ve seen on here.

Can I ask which of your two drones you used to film the final two clips (at 3:31 at 3:37)? My MA2 really struggles in low light situations like those and I’m wondering if it’s simply user error (aka me).

 

[Lionfish]

Really nice .
I know Strathaven very well .
I lived close by in Newmilns for many years before coming to Canada .
Some of the best fish+chips and a couple of old specked hens !! .
Thanks for a stunning video .

The montage is beautiful. As for the theme the video is nice but somehow I expected more loneliness but well that's me, the world didn't disappear during lockdown.

Thanks very much. The final clips you're talking about were filmed on my MA2. I've found it to be not too bad in low light. It's obviously never going to match up to something with a larger sensor but I find it decent.

Ah, you were just down the road! Glad to be able to show you a little bit of home

Thanks. The countryside around here actually got a little busier, everyone had loads of time to get out and enjoy the scenery

Can you please tell me what settings you were using? HDR or DCinelike? EV 0? Auto white balance and ISO? Etc. I’d like to try and figure out what I’m doing wrong. Thanks

Nice! I've never actually played the course so a flyover would be cool.

Hey Terry, here yo go -
DCinelike
H.264
MP4
WB - 5800K
50fps
2.7K
EV -I can't honestly remember the exact settings but typically I'll shoot the following - 0.3 to - 0.7
Exposure and ISO were just left in Auto but with EV lock enabled. I usually trust the camera to select the best ISO for the scene.

In reality, my ungraded footage looks a little noisy too but my edit crushes the blacks a bit to put the noise back in its place.

Thanks!

Can you please double-check your white balance? I’ve read that 5800 is for full daylight, whereas 2000-3000 is for sunrise/sunset. That said, maybe I am suppose to increase my white balance to “full sun“ when shooting directly into the sun at sunset?
