Thanks for an interesting and very well thought through video. The footage can possibly get technically better, but in my opinion the "voice over" and choice and executions of "demonstrative movements" are top notch already. (And I've seen that You've already been advised on adjusting Your exposure so I expect You will raise the bar even further ) Thanks again for contributing to the "good part of Internet" :) Best regards. (P.s. Good luck with the "WhipCrack thesis" ;)
I am enjoying these types of tutorials, you work really well together, but this video is far too over exposed, and or the dress is too shiny. It makes it difficult to watch.
Thanks for the feedback. We are currently working with a Nikon D3100 and trying to figure out a way to manually adjust settings in video mode. Let me know if you have any advice for this problem.
I am not use to the nikon, but the chart on the top right here is the histogram, www.digitalreview.ca/pics/D3100/Nikon-D3100-Display-Info-2.jpg that wave you want to adjust the settings to keep the peak of that wave in the middle with the edges just about hitting each end of the chart, if it creeps up the edges or it is too far to one side or the other it's not going to look good. For a lightly over cast day, at a distance of 8-10 feet? you should set the focus to manual and keep her face sharp, there is no need for auto focus at that distance really. The iso is probably going to be either 100 or 200 if it's darker you might need to up to 400 but as you shoot on nice days this shouldn't be needed, keep the aperture wide open, if it's a basic lens that is about 5.4 the shutter speed should be the last adjustment and will probably range between 100 to 300, darker days would stretch that downwards below 100. If you can't shoot video with a live histogram in video more then take a few pictures and check the histogram with different settings or, check the iso, speed and aperture of an auto image and then adjust the video to match. It won't be cinematic as much but it will be much easier to watch. making colours pop is always better on over cast days and if it's bright you should be under those trees in the shade to get better light balance. On a canon the auto modes tend to take images in higher iso values which adds noise, for video I would from here decrease the iso rate one or two settings from the auto mode shot then adjust the shutter speed. If you can shoot in raw mode instead of jpegs you will use more space but you can more cleanly adjust the final video in editting I don't know if you can do that with nikon though. This is a very basic interpretation that should help but there is a lot more to it. Cinematic like shots in basic summary tend to come from riding the edges of darkness with good contrast and balance rather than riding the edges of bright settings. Does that help any?
Oh and adjust light metering mode, on a landscape like the above video you can adjust the light metering mode to wider or more points, it doesn't need to use a focused light point, on brighter days or where you can see a bright sky in the background bring light metering to a small point focus system.

Way underrated channel. This video was exactly what I needed, I love the way it’s explained and executed. Thank you very much ❤
here from smarter everyeveryday and found this. as a staff juggler i find that pretty cool
April looks gorgeous as usual and so damn talented!!
Get ready to have your channel blow up now that Destin has exposed your many talents! Wow is all I got.
I really hope he doesn't expose all of them.
@@AprilJenniferChoi now thats one correct answer ;-)
@@AprilJenniferChoi Ha ha haa! It may be time to monetize your channel. Just sayin.
Destin sent me.

Also here because of Destin.
Similar to spinning a pen on your fingers, also from smarter everyday, (and nice perfect like to dislike ratio)
How come so many things get named after Steve?
well, you get a list named after you
