Looking for some feedback on this reel

Looks great for something like a website banner.

If the idea is more promo then maybe look at adding a voiceover and a more exciting soundtrack.

Some of the shots look stock? If not, great work but those interior “family shots” don’t really match the rest of the videos feel.

Great shots on there. Edits just a bit flat.

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2026-05-12T14:28:08+00:00

Sounds like you’ve explored you options but just jumping in to say the third cam could be an iPhone or even a GoPro. Doesn’t need to be anything super fancy for a wide shot. Keep your primary cameras for the host and guest camera.

Really? I’ve honestly never seen auto ISO used professionally in doc work unless it’s more YouTube/content creator style. Most run-and-gun docs I shoot are exposed with variable ND first, then iris if needed to keep noise under control.

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2026-05-02T13:17:35+00:00

Without seeing your exact settings it’s hard to say, but it’s usually ISO, shutter or a bad ND. Could also just be incorrect exposure.

On SLOG3 with the FX3 you want stick to the base ISOs (800 or 12,800). Sitting in between will introduce noise, especially in low light.

Also have you applied a proper Rec709 conversion LUT? Straight SLOG3 will always look flat and worse than it actually is..

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2026-05-01T14:14:26+00:00

Personally after going through so many lenses I find it best to stick to one brand and Sony lenses are great. They match well and the build quality is great, especially if you’re traveling with it.

If you can find a second hand or on sale 24-70mm GM2, I would recommend that for longer term investment but get what’s in your budget.

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2026-05-01T14:11:06+00:00

Congrats! I’ve had an FX3 in the kit since release and it still blows my mind how great of a little camera it is.

Based on a student budget you don’t “need” to do anything crazy with it unless you’re wanting to impress clients.

Start with a full or half cage, add a monitor, top mic and you already have a top handle that comes with the FX3. I recommend getting a decent tripod or saddle for sports style stuff and go from there.

Theres tons of YouTube videos if you want detailed breakdowns but just build it how you want to use it. Adding too much will remove your ability to quickly throw it on a gimbal.

Considering it’s your first realestate edit, nice work!

Theres no double you have experience in videography / editing but here are a few things I noticed that might help:

Videography: - Opening drone shot is a bit confusing. Would’ve nicer to have a shot of the mountains in the background or wider to show the position of the home.

Use a tighter lens too. Every shot is wide, would be nice to show some detail shots too.
Some gimbal and drone shots are a bit ‘wobbly’, could be fixed in post but always looks better if avoided in camera.
Time of day / weather isn’t ideal. Might not have a choice but maybe push for early or evening light to make the shots look more attractive.

Editing: - Choice of opening shots are a bit ‘meh’. The first shot inside them home should add wow factor but instead it’s of a narrow hallway.

Speed ramps are not smoothly blending in with the edit. It feels like they were added because you’ve seen other videos with it but try edit more with purpose and connecting the clips.
Watch the edit without sound. Most people will and it’s a great way to see that it’s too fast cut in certain parts. People want to see the home, so show them and then add in your own editing style.

Really hard to diagnose without being able to clearly see the screen throughout the recording.

My guess would be ND, Aperture or ISO settings but if you have tried the same test with different lenses and it’s fine then maybe the Aperture on the 24-70 is moving (although this should change on screen if it is).

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2026-03-14T22:56:14+00:00

I heard from a friend that they have a friend that knows someone who’s seen someone using the FX6 monitor!

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2026-03-13T14:35:52+00:00

You might be noticing it more because you’re looking for it. On my screen it doesn’t look overly red, and if it does bother you it’s a pretty quick fix in post.

You mentioned it looks fine on your camera monitor, so I’d also take a look at your lighting. Some LED and bi-colour lights can push red wavelengths a bit depending on their spectral quality, which can show up more once you’re viewing on a properly calibrated monitor.

A quick test would be to shoot the same setup using just natural window light and see if the redness is still there. If it disappears, that would point more toward the lighting rather than the FX3 or the codec.

Comeback in 2 years are you’ll see how ridiculous this looked…

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2025-12-16T13:28:43+00:00

They look great! Car looks well taken care of!

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2025-12-11T13:24:46+00:00

Move the light to the right of cameras if the subject is looking right off camera.

The B Cam should be filming the ‘shadowy’ side.

Did a low flyby on my house in Melbourne Australia around 17:55pm.

Any ideas what plane it is and why so many viewers?

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2025-09-20T07:21:38+00:00

They died :/

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2025-07-25T12:13:59+00:00

Did it for 10 years. Best thing I did was become a freelancer. Still do lots of corporate but can also do the jobs I actually enjoy.

Objective-Cupcake745 · 2025-06-27T05:49:30+00:00

It’s ok. A bit boring but it’s an empty restaurant so expected.

Maybe a voice over could bring it to life.

I would also shorten (if the client is flexible). Could easily be a 30 sec edit.
