Adrian’s Journal #191125

It’s Monday. My to do list is overwhelming. Where shall I begin. I remember… Focus on high-value tasks… Tasks that result with me having more time… and money.

What 3 amazing things happened yesterday?

  1. Climbed Mount Faber and clocked 8000 steps Plus 6000 steps of shopping immediately after that. Watch the immersive video here.
  2. Cleared some admin and digital clutter. Feeling fresh on the start of a new week.
  3. Watched a thrilling Chinese movie, Kung Fu Jungle, starring Donny Yen, on TV with the family at home.

Weekend Video Creation Thoughts and Feelings

on Saturday I shot a cooking video at home. On Sunday I recorded our Mountain trekking video.

For both videos, I gave myself the challenge to document the event fast.

  • Use a smartphone camera only
  • Shoot on the go with no posing
  • Edit and upload to Youtube on the same day.

Also, both videos do not require any voice over. Only background music and ASMR sounds.

The videos turned out well… at least for me. What do you think?

I shot the footage with my Samsung Galaxy S10 native camera. Edited with Adobe Premiere Rush. Uploaded directly to YouTube from the phone.

I used the Moza Mini Mi smartphone gimbal in certain scenes for the cooking video.

I used the GoPro Hero 7 for the time-lapse scenes in the mountain trekking video.

It’s not perfect. I wish I had the Zhiyun smooth Q2 smartphone gimbal. So that I can start and stop recording by pressing the button on the handle instead of on the phone.

I wish I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus, so that I can lock focus and exposure, as well as record video of objects with blur background.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles.
