FALL FOLIAGE 4K | 4K Cinematic Nature | Sony FDR-AX53 

Beatiful, nice job.

it's a nice video... I'm happy to see the lack of popup and add-on commercial advertisements. It's so nice seeing someone who knows how to use a tripod for a change. This offers a far superior and better, more enjoyable film and gives it a refined polish that's almost impossible to achieve with handheld. I did see that you included some handheld footage, especially of the deer scenes. This camcorder unit does a remarkable job at minimizing and eliminating most of the movement of handheld cameras. But it doesn't quite get it all. I hate handheld. I'm able to remove most of the image motion in post production if I must shoot handheld. This camera is phenomenal at stabilization, but there is still some motion that registers on film when shooting. I like how you used mostly jump cuts and were very sparing on use of transitions. You've obviously been doing filmmaking for a bit. Your work is very good. I did see a few issues of slightly washed images in much of the footage, and the imagery wasn't quite as sharp as it could be. A good UV filter on your camera will do wonders at eliminating the pale blue haze that can be picked up by your camera's sensor. Anymore a faint blue haze is normal no matter where you are in the world these days. That's because of lingering air pollution that exists everywhere now. UV filters are designed to cancel out most of the haze. That will result in sharper, cleaner and clearer images when filming. Another good tool to use is a very nice adjustable CPL filter It helps darken shadows and adds punch to the image ever so slightly. It also eliminates or sharply reduces reflection glare on highly reflective surfaces like water, glass or even on polished vehicles of any kind. It's too bad that youtube compressed your video and destroyed quite a bit of the image quality of your video film. I see a lot of pixilation and image distortion that only results from taking an already compressed film and compressing it even more. For this reason I really hate the youtube video uploads... and I also hate how they throw in ads and suggestions at the end of videos and rob viewers of the final 30 seconds to 1 minute of viewing. Oft times that is the most critical part of any film. RU-vid is always destroying that... Your filmmaking is actually excellent, other than a few small and minor details. I appreciate how you didn't use the panning, tilt or zoom with your camera when you captured your footage. A little bit here and there in any film isn't a bad idea. But keeping the zooms, pans and tilts to an absolute minimum is key to successful and attractive looking videos. Panning offers a wider view and look at the surroundings in a film. Tilting up or down helps to draw viewers attention to something more specific in the filmmaker's mind. Panning should only be used for following a subject, or as a transitional tool when moving about and changing scenes. Zooms in or out are mostly used to aid and focus viewers attention at specific details the filmmaker wants them to see, and it's also used to add punch and a dramatic feel to the film. The same rule applies to panning and tilt. I've been doing videography for a few years, although not to your extent. Your filmmaking experience is evident and shows a very high level of professionalism, so you are obviously no amateur. I'm an advanced novice at best I think. I recently ordered the Sony FDR AX53 unit that you used in this film. I'm expecting it to arrive either today or tomorrow. I also ordered another battery and a set of lens filters that includes a UV filter a CPL Filter and an ND8 filter to use. I've used professional video cameras before and professional video camcorders. Most people not familiar with videography don't realize or understand that there are distinct differences between a video camera and a video camcorder. I'm sure you already know what I'm saying so I'll stop here. Excellent video, and nice choice of music. Thanks for sharing. It was exactly what I was hoping to find.

Wow, My best friend, Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video. Have a happy day.

Nice camera, I'm happy with my AX53.

A very good video, you have a bunch of perfect shots. It's also good to see how the camera shoots without any effects. Sony seems to have done an excellent job with fdr53. Thank you for uploading.

Wow just beautiful. You have a knack for capturing just the right scenery for the perfect shot. Subbed to channel and will tell others about your vids.

I know where this location is!! Love that area! My grandparents used to live there!
