Unfortunately, I signed an NDA and can’t share the footage. No worries, I told the client the work is out of my skill range.

For anyone following, I decided that this project was out of my skill range and told the client I was not the right person for the job. I appreciate everyone for trying to help. I am not a VFX compositor and this project has given me an even greater appreciation for the work you do. It’s incredibly technical and creative.

Thanks for the replies Richard and Peter. I Adobe Audition. I’ll see if that has more precise tools for aligning my audio files.

Mark, good call. I haven’t yet. I was thinking of YouTube shows.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the insightful comments. Leaves me a lot to think about and I agree, it’s not smart to compete with TV stations. -Reid

To give a broad answer, I think it depends on where you plan on releasing your film. Some distributors may have minimum requirements. I know that Netflix Originals even specifies which cameras can be used and which settings on those cameras.

But if you are releasing independently on YouTube or Vimeo, I think audiences will be fine with a change in look. That’s what I did with my documentary. I started in 2010 when I didn’t know what I was doing. I started it with a Panasonic HS700. Then years later I shot some of it on a Panasonic GH4. I also used very low quality Skype videos of interviews I did with people online. The people I made the film for don’t care, they care about the inspiring stories, which was my goal.

Thank you Rick for the compliment and feedback. Looking again at the shots, I see exactly what you mean and I agree, shot 02 has the least lighting and looks the best to me. Great idea with using a bounce fill in my shadow side. Will have to try that next.

Best,
