Paphos in 4K

[Dominic]

We are getting to grips with the new camera. This is a drive around Paphos. Since making this film we have worked out how to reduce the wobble, so later films will be less wobbly.
The film starts at Debenhams Roundabout, before heading down to the sea front. It then comes back up past the Mall and Kennedy Square, before continuing through the centre of Paphos up to the B7. We end on a hillside, overlooking the city.

This is interesting. Have you compared to this with an equivalent one with a lesser resolution? For me, it would be interesting to have an ordinary HD camera and your super duper 4K one side-by-side filming the same shot as you went along and comparing the results on you tube, possibly clicking between them from time to time.

The main thing the super duper one has going for it is the anti-wobble algorithms. Without them the image moves about a lot more.

I have managed to reduce the wobble that you still get, by making adjustments to the rig. What I will be experimenting on though, is different compression settings for the film itself. For instance, the film here was saved for Youtube Highest Quality UltraHD. The film size was about 7 Gb in size. It took ages to load to youtube and ages for Youtube to process. I will make a short demo film and save it at different compression settings, to see if people notice the difference.

I'm a bit wobbly at times nowadays but just happy see your videos. Thanks Dominic
