In my recent trip to Las Vegas, I took a few clips of the Luxor hotel (where I was staying) and put together a quick 4K cinematic test. The results weren’t too shabby. The lighting at Luxor hotel is terrible but it was a great test to do a low-light test. Most of my clips actually have noise in the original clips as there was simply not enough lights in the pyramid. I HAD to use some type of noise reduction program and fortunately I had Neat Video plugin for Adobe Premiere which basically gets rid of noise.
After getting rid of noise, the clips were very usable. Now, there is one clip I forgot to apply noise reduction, can you guess which clip it is? Leave your answers in the comment box below, thx!
I highly recommend Grip Gear’s Movie Maker Smartphone Slider, it is a MUST HAVE for those of you who want to make cinematic sliding shots.
