It was the 'steady long run' of the week, and as the weather was gorgeous, I decided to finally dig out my little 360x3 camera, and take it out for a spin. I bought it a couple of years ago, but it's taken a little while to get used to it. To be fair, filming AND running at the same time seems to take such a lot of concentration, that it usually makes me not enjoy the actual run itself >and thats a real shame, as I thoroughly enjoy going out for a run! There's a couple of events which I have lined up for later this year, and I'd really like to have a go at filming them, so I think I just need to knuckle-down and get practicing again! In the past I've struggled with sound , as the tiny microphones don't pick up my talking very well. The camera is a 360 camera, and also has various modes to select, and I keep getting muddled over which mode/setting I should use for each shot. To make filming easier this time, I chose to avoid talking to the camera at all, and just focused on capturing footage. I also decided to just select 1 mode of shooting, and just use that throughout. The 360 mode is pretty cool, because it films everything, and then in post processing, I can manually select which part to actually create the individual clips. The final thing was to pick a location that would be vaguely interesting to film, and so my run took me through the centre of the city of Lincoln, and up the hill towards the majestic Lincoln Cathedral. On the plus side, I actually managed to enjoy the run this time, so that was an improvement on previous attempts, and I was pleased with the footage I got too. Considering I used just the one capture setting, I was able to capture a reasonable variety of different shots/angles. On the downside, I forgot just how long it takes to edit all these clips into something useful. The run was on Sunday lunchtime, and it has taken all of Sunday afternonn and evening, along with Monday evening and some more time tonight, before I could get to the finished video... really need to find a way to streamline my workflow, but hopefully some regular practicing will help with that! >*Speaking of which, I hope to get back out this weekend, to try again. The only thing to decide, where should I go next time...?* ![Hiveblog divider.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dannewton/lVz8TBh1-Hiveblog20divider.png) **Notes** All footage captured by Dan Newton Music: “Dreamy Pastel Skies – Lofi Chillbeat” by DesiFreeMusic from [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/music/lofi-dreamy-pastel-skies-lofi-chillbeat-450005/) Camera: Insta360 X3 Editing Software: Started with Insta360 Studio, and then used DaVinci Resolve to finish ![Hiveblog divider.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dannewton/lVz8TBh1-Hiveblog20divider.png) Thank you for watching, I hope you found it interesting.
