I Love My Dragon!

I shot this quick video during a still photo shoot on MT Hood at Timberline lodge.
I'm very happy with the results . Shot on Zeiss Otus 85mm at 2.0 because i really didn't have time to change to other lenses.

Great choice of talent
Looks great, but you might check your export settings

Looks like a low bitrate or somethin.
Maybe because you just uploaded it

Thanks, i accidentally shot it at 14:1 compression . Dough !
But, it looks pretty clean in Final Cut X.
Thanks,
Tim

Not a 14:1 compression issue, I shot 13:1 on dragon all the time this past year and it's super crispy. Definitely got to be your export settings, 720p with probably a really low bitrate. When uploading to youtube just export a 4k Prores 422 and upload that guy. It takes a while but that usually gives me the best results.

Hi Josiah

You are right its only playing at 720 . I usually don't use youtube so i didn't check the settings.

But, yeah in good light the 14:1 looks pretty decent !

Thanks,
Tim
