This year has been fantastic and full of unforgettable experiences, taking advantage of some walks and some drone flights I have explored many Swiss places which I long wanted to visit, and there are many others on my wish list still.
Switzerland offered me countless places to keep in my heart, such as the tops of the mountains and the views of the surroundings, the lakes and the glaciers, the rivers and the waterfalls, the woods, their sounds and their inhabitants.
People who follow me will surely recognize many scenes in the "My Highlights 2019" video, in fact, this is a collection of the most beautiful moments of this past year.
For this reason, I wanted to add a second video with many other beautiful unpublished images, I hope you like it!
I don't have many tips to give on how to make videos, I'm not a professional and I do something else for a living, but I try to learn from my mistakes and I take advantage of your precious advices to improve myself and take inspiration!
For the realization of my videos I mainly use my drone Dji Mavic 2 pro and the Panasonic G90/91/95 camera with 14-140mm lens. To save weight I use a mini all-round tripod, I have tried a few, but the ultra-pod 2 pedco is the right one for me.
I personally prefer to film and edit in 4k at 30fps, with flat profile on, DlogM for the drone and VlogL for the camera, and I use ND filters to keep the shutter speed rule at a double frame rate. Later, during the editing phase, I make a color correction and apply a lut based on the scene and the result I want to obtain.
For editing I use Final Cut, I work on the video in proxy mode using an external SSD in order to avoid the overload of my iMac hard disk.
Musics is a fundamental part of the creation of my videos and I listen to them a lot before to choose the one which best suits the project I have in mind.
I find it very pleasant to add sounds to the clips, I usually try to use those recorded by the camera or my portable audio recorder, otherwise I look for them on the web.
Last year I promised to myself to improve my videos, and I hope to have succeeded at least a little bit, even if I am light years away from many of you, next year I would like to continue on this direction and get many other positive experiences.
I would have liked to spend more time to create these videos and this post, but I am leaving the day after tomorrow for a 17-day trip for which I spent a lot of time and energy in planning, please forgive me!
Tell me what do you think about these videos, comments and suggestions are always welcome!
