  • A couple of years ago I got invited on a road trip around the South Island of New Zealand with 2 incredible creators, neither of which I'd met until the trip! We visited some unbelievable places and had the best times over the 8 days we travelled around! This is such a special film to me, exploring my country and making 2 amazing friends, hope you all enjoy it!

    • @MichaelExplores
      @MichaelExplores  Před 2 lety +2

      Thanks so much! This was just done in Premiere Pro but you could do it in After Effects as well, either one. Was done by
      1. Key framing motion
      2. Using a mask to feather the bottom edge
      3. Key framing directional motion blur
      Then once you’ve done one clip, you can copy the effects onto the rest of them, hope that helps!

    Hi there sir michael if a huge fan of your work and i am from the philippines. I just want to ask if a6500 is better than the a6400. Because im about to buy my 1st camera and the lens that i chose is the sony FE 50mm F2.5G. Do you think it is a great lens for photography and video?. Hoping that i could get some answer thankyou and have a great day

    • @MichaelExplores
      @MichaelExplores  Před 2 lety +1

      Hey there, thanks so much for the support, happy to hear you like the content! So the original 3 were a6000, a6300 and a6500 but they are all discontinued now and have been replaced by the a6100, a6400 and a6600. So the a6400 is newer and has some extra features compared to the a6500, the only main thing that is better about the a6500 is that it has In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS). So the a6400 is a very good camera, especially for photography and if you are shooting video on a tripod or gimbal. If IBIS is important to you then I'd recommend the a6600, but otherwise the a6400 will be amazing!
      I haven't used the 50mm f/2.5 G before but 50mm is a great focal length for portraits, as it's a 75mm full frame equivalent. Just depends what you're wanting to shoot really as it might be quite tight if it's your only lens. A couple lenses I'd really recommend for starting out would be either the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 or the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8
      Hope that helps!

      @@MichaelExplores so i checked out JustKay, and i see he has "Sony LUTS". If I have a sony that's the one I should get or I can get the others too? what do you suggest I get? I don't care too much, I just need some LUTS to get a starting point, just as I do with presets, and then I tend to edit and create my own. I'm guessing LUTS is the same way as presets in lightroom? As I edit to what I like, I can save as my own LUT? do you think I should go ahead and get his masterpack as a starting point?

      @@tau_tv What camera do you have? Luts work a bit differently to Lightroom presets in that they don't change the settings in the program, they are more of a filter that is placed over the top of the image and you can only change the overall intensity of the lut. So you can't make changes to the lut and save it as you can't actually adjust the individual aspects of what the lut is doing
