January 7th, 2023 – Episode 1 – In this week’s edited video we catch rail action between Rahm, Indiana and Mortons Gap, Kentucky along the CSX Henderson Subdivision, mostly from the air! This week we spend a lot of time in the air, where we catch southbound M503 at Mortons Gap, Ky, B207 northbound at Mortons Gap, M648 northbound at Hanson, I026 northbound at Madisonville and I025 southbound up the viaduct at Rahm, Indiana! Enjoy!
For this week I worked on my skills of shooting footage from the ground and the air on most of my trains. If you weren’t aware, drones don’t shoot audio, because all you’d hear is the sound of the motors on the drone. You have to either lay a music track in post editing, go with no audio, record with an external digital recorder or shoot with a second camera on the ground for audio.
I go with the latter, using my iPhone 14 Pro, on a tripod, and then using Adobe Premiere Pro I edit the two together, syncing the audio on the ground video with the footage from the air. In case you aren’t aware, I fly a DJI Air 2S and I match the frame rates between the two to 4K at 24fps.
Most of my Saturday videos are about 17-22 minutes long and so when I export the video I do so in full HD and not 4K. The 4k file comes out to be around 10-12 TB in size and the HD file is about 3-4 TB, which is much more manageable. If you have any questions about the process I use, just leave them in the comments here or on the video in question! – Jim
December 24th, 2022 Saturday Edited Video
This Saturday’s edited video is a bit different as it was all shot in B&W Infrared!
Not really the best time of the year to shoot Infrared as it works best when it has a lot of greenery in the scene. I have been considering doing this for awhile now and decided to take it on as a challenge to see what I could come up with during the starkness of the winter.
The videos were all shot on my Fuji XT1 which was converted to 720nm Infrared! If you’re interested in seeing still shots that I do in Infrared then pay a visit to my website at http://www.jimpearsonphotography.com or my Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/jimpearsonsp… where you’ll find the photography end of my passion.
My videos are also posted there as well. I hope you all enjoy my latest edited video and I plan to do IR video occasionally, but probably when were into Spring and Summer. If you have any questions just drop them in the comments! – Jim
