• 4/27 9:21 am - Very nice use of timelapse and lens flares. Strong evidence of color grading, which is very important in modern Cinematography. Be careful with your saturation levels, always making sure that they are broadcast safe. I viewed your reel of two different monitors and the lower res monitor washed a lot of you red tones. Composition and framing is strong. You have a good eye for moments. If you have a static subject, like the bulldog statue, try using movement to enhance the subject and not just for movement’s sake. One small note on your recording function - invest in a high-speed memory card - when there are over shaky camera movements, the image can appear to warp if the write speed of your card is too slow, even when you use a stabilizer. Overall very strong work.
