Hi all,

I amd fairly new to editing/filming and recently got a Pocket 2 and figured I would take it for a walk in the streets of Shibuya (Tokyo).
The main idea was to test low light footage, and see if I could grab some of the city's neon goodness. I ended up making a quick edit of the whole thing.

Let me know what you think!

Nice walking tour.    Pocket 2 did quite well in those low light conditions.

Surprisingly good quality in low light though I think it's a bit to bright in the shadows. I'd push it down a bit...

Thanks everyone!

I agree regarding the shadows.
Originally I didn't want to crush them too much, and I was fairly happy with I was seeing in Premiere... but after rendering they did look much more washed out when played on my computer (and posted on YT).
After a bit of searching, I realized that it was probably a color profile issue and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t61b6Nk-YPw (might be helpful for others?)  
I'm re-rendering a new version that should hopefully look a bit better.

Here is an updated version, which should be a bit more contrasty and hopefully a wee better encoded for YouTube.

Yes, looks more natural to my eye (even though a few details are lost I think it's worth it...)

You're very welcome remka.  

The updated version does appear to be a bit more natural.  We all learn as we go.  Great job on the update.
