Today I went out to Kenzie's favorite spot and we grabbed some Clog 2 examples. This one took a bit of effort. I hope you enjoy. I used the RF 24-105 f2.8 Z with the zoom control. All handheld. I did use the digital stabilizer for some of the clips too. Edited in Premiere Pro.
Rob,
Looks very good. But to what I can see, no different from your previous few videos. All look great.
What did you think, an improvement? And is it worth the extra work?
Dave
Nice videos! Does your video program have a stabilization tool. It would be much easier and enjoyable to watch if you could get some of the movement calmed down. Other than that, very good.

Thanks Dave. It is a very good question. Personally I am not seeing anything major. That said my wife seen it and said that is the best colors she seen yet. I maybe seeing a little deeper DR in some of the footage. I like the fact you can try different LUTS and see the look it produces, very tough to do with standard footage. Let's say if you wanted a blueish look for a music video or something, much easier to do with a LUT.
One down side is the C50 does not allow playback with a LUT applied, so on the LCD or monitor you get a flat, washed out video. Fortunately the Shinobi II monitor does allow for you to add a LUT to the monitor for playback. The C80 and C400 does allow for playback with a LUT applied.
I find the waveform is the most valuable also with Clog for the exposure, especially snow and a dog with white on her.

Wow Rob, this is simply beautiful, and with this particular song it's deeply moving. I LOVE this.
Don't be surprised if you get offers to license this video for broadcasting - it's that good IMO!
UPDATE: I just watched it 3 more times - seriously Rob, this is in my opinion a cinematic masterpiece... brings tears to my eyes. My friend, you have set a standard of excellence that the rest of us can only marvel at. It's not only outstanding with respect to IQ and filming techniques, but just as important, it tells a great story! OK there, I've said enough... you get the pricture.

Skin tones and audio test
Right now it's -35C with the wind chill here in Ottawa which means no going outside to do some test filming or anything else, so I shot some fool in my living room in order to practice my Clog3 editing skills and try out my new on-board mic. Although there are never any people in my wildlife videos I thought I would give doing skin tones a try. There was no proper lighting set up, just the light coming in from the back deck.
Anyways, please give me your feedback on what you think of the skin tones (too pale, too red, etc), and the audio quality. Thanks

Good stuff Rob. I love the clip of her sitting on the sled and the slo mo of her digging for her ball in the snow. Only thing I would change is to slow down your punch in about .5x in post, keeping your same clip duration but with a slower cinematic punch in.

Looks good, sounds good, and super crisp. If anything, maybe a hair too warm, but it doesn't bother me. It could also be the wall color making it look warm, but it looks great on YouTube on 5k display full screen.

Thank you for the input. I am using the zoom controller when I punch in. Do you think it would be better to slow down using the controller or more in post. If in post I am not sure how to slow it down seeing I did not do it in post. Any input would be great.

Rob, yes it's just my personal taste that you should slow down your zoom speed a bit for a more cinematic look. There should be a way to test in post to play those zoom clips half speed (half length same duration) just to see if you like the feel of it better, or not. My preference would probably be to slow down 40-50% the speed you are currently using on your camera for zoom motor. But, try to pick the better half of a couple of those clips and play it in half speed, then stand back at watch it from a distance to see if you think it feels stronger or not. Obviously this is just my taste, and you and everyone else might not agree with me.

Just what all us wildlife guys need It actually worked very well. Only the lens got some on it. The battery, camera and monitor were completely dry.
