RE: [ORIGINAL VIDEO] Experimenting With Open Range Poultry Farming: First Time Manually Hatching an Egg
I guess it's already too weak to do much without serious attention such as warmth given to it to survive. I like the video quality, which software and camera did you use?
Thanks for taking a look. Yeah, I agree too that extended care and attention would have saved the chick. For the editing software, I am getting my hands dirty gradually with good ole Adobe Premiere Pro CC '18. For the cameras, the cleaner shots were with a GoPro Hero 6, and the more smudgy ones were with an Infinix Zero 5. Both of these cameras (especially the GoPro) are actually able to do a lot. I just need to get to figure out how to get them work at best conditions.
The Go Pro is worth the money spent. The video is miles ahead, in terms of quality, with the usual often blurry production in most of our people's video (no offence meant :D) due to the mostly low resolution, easily affordable Chinese phone camera quality.
I think even more than the fact we don't use first grade brands of devices, a lot of that “blurry” also lies in people not understanding the basic tenets of taking pictures. On a well lit set, most any camera will produce useable pictures. Then there's the composition factor. But Africans are guilty of being stuck in their career niches, such that a doctor thinks it's a waste of his time to read history books.
Then... We digressed from the poor bird ;-)
You are correct, but with a good camera, even with the wrong camera and light position, it creates a better image. Though I've realised that many who take pictures that do not realise that it is all about the object's lightning, background, and how the camera position that makes all the difference. I've seen wonderful photos taken that poor lightning killed. I like to learn a lot of many other things not related to my career as it makes for a great conversation while hanging out with people from different background :) Also, you never can tell where it'd be useful.
FYI: The poor bird understands we like a good photograph when we see one :)
