In continuing with the final project, I've decided to try out the DJI Osmo pocket with DJI Mimo app.  It was actually much easier to set up that I initially predicted, and even though I have yet to figure out how you format the MicroSD card before each and every use, I am immediately won over.  I've managed to film several new clips for my final project that should resolve the issues that have been brought up previously, specifically the lack of smooth moving shots for my VFX.  I've managed to film new shots for the brief cultural clips of both Abertay University and the DC Thomson printing house.  These shots were both smoothly filmed with no impediments from traditional handheld photography, and should fit in nicely with the next cut of Seoras.   I've also managed to get a new base shot for my charging boar sequence that should finally put this particular shot to rest.   The shot itself has been the main complaint from previous versions and everything else about the sequence has been well-received up until now, so we should be able to move the effects over from the last draft on top of this one.

These are the latest results from filming with the DJI Osmo Pocket with the filters from previous tests utilized.  The shot at Abertay University was achieved by replacing the old shot in the footage comp in After Effects with the new shot, and then quickly rendering the effect, and the shot at DC Thomson was achieved by applying comic-book-like effects in Photoshop.  These shots have turned out very well and I am looking forward to showing them to the tutor for further feedback.  I might have to use the DJI Osmo for the final shot at Camperdown if I want to have a smooth tracking shot without the need for a dolly.  The final shot at Cox's Stack will need a timelapse camera.
