The below is the Nine Emperor God video I took at a temple in Penang. I tried to adopt the ‘no zoom, no panning, no movement’ technique but I am still way behind in terms of quality.
Usually, I have to grab on to my tripod with the video camera attached and my DSLR camera. My video camera is rather cheap and I am never too careful with it. At times, I left the thing by a wall while I snap photos with my DSLR camera.
It is not easy balancing both equipment but in order to get better quality videos, I have no choice. So far, I manage quite ok.
The thing is, I am usually very critical of my own photos and videos. when I get home, I will be grumbling why I missed out certain shots or why I didn’t explore certain angles to shoot a photo or video.
One other rant is how my DSLR photos quality puts my video to the pits. My video is rather pale and dull while the photos taken with the Nikon D40 which I use vivid mode looks more alive. So, i interspersing them made the video kinda weird.
I guess self criticism will help to improve quality of the videos I edit. But too much of them made me want to just forget doing it when I cannot get the quality I want.
Sigh…
