Thank you Dave, Steve and Bill.

In relation to the stabilizing issue, i’ll look into syntheyes. Sounds like it could be something. And yes Steve, it isn’t that bad, at least not bad enough to re-shoot; you are right about the reason for causing this issue, the change of perspective is exactly it.

Anyhow, I might just go for the donkey work and try to stabilize some of the shots manually, it’s always been the plan. I was just hoping for an alternative plan that could potentially ease the pain. It’s one of those challenges where you work with what you have!

Dave, i am against the idea of rectifying or relying on post. In fact, i agree with you on all aspects when it comes to making sure things are done right on the shoot to avoid issues such as this. I’m a cinematographer, an old fashioned one, that strives to get everything done right whilst the film is raw. and i NEVER rely on fixing anything in post.

About removing the black; it was never the intention to remove the black. The idea is exactly what you see in the video. I asked you guys hoping i might find another way to work around the unsteady footage by replacing the background, basically to bring the story to another level; one that works with floaty footage….

Anyways, thanks for your input. This case is the consequences of taking poor and unlucky decisions! I wanted your opinion on this. Your advise is greatly appreciated.
