An Ambient Stroll in Oxford

 Ambient Walking

Yes, that's a thing. Apparently, if you walk about filming a location in real time and post that video, it's called an ambient walk. 

I filmed this one using my DJI X5 gimbal camera which I bought used from CEX. It's ok image-wise, and the stabilisation is really good. 

One of the things it took me ages to work out is the use of the DJI log-gamma offering, D-log. It's a bit rubbish, but I realised it's not so much a proper bonafide log curve like C-LOG for example, it's a ETTR plus gamma curve (expose to the right). So in order to get it looking good took some experimenting. Eventually, for the nerds out there, I set up my project in Davinci resolve with a timeline colour space of REC709 and gamma of Rec709-2.4. I then use a CST node (Color Space Transform) on each clip and set the input colour space to Rec709 and gamma to D-LOG, and output to 'timeline'.
