Title: LR4 Kitchen Table Video Overview

Pretty brave.  Subject with white hair, sitting in full shade wearing a black sweater with a full sunlight background.  Looks great.  NEX 7?

Yup, NEX-7.

If I'd been smart(er) I would have shot it with the Neutral preset and contrast turned down to -3. That would have made grading it easier. As it was, it still wasn't that bad.

I was in the shade of a large umbrella when I set up the shot, but by the time I was rolling and had done the final takes the sun was strongly hitting my head. Too lazy to reshoot.

Being cameraman and on-screen talent both is a real hassle. Where is Chris when I really need him?

Noticed that and chortled. Amazing how well the Sony coped.

Heh.  Write, direct, perform, shoot, edit and distribute.  That's today's reality.

Awaiting the NEX 7 video test with great interest.
