OP3 at a parade with hundreds of wiener dogs

Rushed day, rushed shoot. Brought ND filter; didn't need it. Needed my wide angle lens; didn't bring it.

Happy overall though.

I don't need to grade my past clients on "Skills" anymore, yay!

Thank goodness they streamlined this, but now I can't give one star for responsiveness and cooperation when contracts go dormant for over a year.

So they've improved the feedback process, while making it even harder to be honest about weak points like cooperation. Awesome. I guess I'll keep doling out five starts to any client I want to retain any sort of potential future relationship with, even if that feedback is misleading to others.

1,800 guests showed up...yeesh. And they flew out Mohammed Ali’s wife!?

There was a poster at my gym that lasted about a day before (presumably) management gave it the boot. They were obviously getting desperate towards the end; sucks. This is a bad look for anyone trying to organize events in our city.

Filmed a friend indoors at a bar at 3K60 vertical, with low light off and on. Slowed down the footage and placed it side by side.

Low light didn't look good. Lowlights and highlights were gone from my friend's skintone. Blacks not black.

Am I better off filming standard and just correcting for low light scenes in post (Premiere)? Or does DJI have some proprietary technology that is enhancing low-ISO capture in-body, and my test wasn't conclusive?

ChatGPT used to say three seconds = Shorts view. Now it says zero seconds.

So being realistic, when a channel states a Short has 500 views...what is a more realistic number? 50? I'm working with a client on hundreds of Shorts and digging into the analytics of each Short isn't realistic, but I also don't want to mislead them into thinking it's 500 actual views, like the 30 seconds+ required for a viewcount to register on longform content.

Any and all help is appreciated!

I find myself adjusting captions far too often. In the example, four words are on line one but only one is on line two. Not the look I'm going for with this client.

This happens multiple times per minute, and playing with my caption generation settings doesn't seem to help. My typical generation: 18 max character length, minimum duration of 1.8 seconds (although this is never true). I'm not converting them to graphics or anything fancy, just "burning them in" with every reel export.

v25.6.5

Any and all help is appreciated!

Loved working with these guys.

3K60, standard color, AWB, auto-exposure (0.0), some lock-on focus with the app, follow mode movement + a few hours of fun editing.
