Hi Carlo, action99 and artsupreme..., guys, thanks very much for taking the time to watch my practice footage and to respond with your very helpful comments and suggestions.
Just to clarify something, I don't want to be seen in my wildlife videos at all, not even my feet. I don't want the video to be about me in any way, but rather about the locations and the wildlife subjects living there.
Regarding personalizing them, I really enjoy doing the species research, writing the scripts and narrating my videos, but I don't want to be a visual part of them. A lot of videos produced for the TV show "Nature" which is broadcast on PBS in the US are like this and that's sort of what I'm aiming at.
Regarding putting some gimbal-like clips into the videos, it doesn't have to be a lot, just a few clips to add a bit more movement and interest into the overall video.
I've been doing some research lately on how to best achieve this, and if my current hobby budget permitted it (which it won't for a while), I think I would go with the Osmo Pocket 3 as acction99 suggested. However, I feel that my hand held walking footage as seen in my sample above will probably be OK for now since this will be such a small part of the overall video.
Carlo: Regarding the length of the clips, I just went into Davinci and measured them and they average between 15 to 25 seconds so I probably wouldn't be forced to stich together a bunch of tiny little clips.
Thanks again,
Rudy
