This clip starts with a mistake. A few seconds from my first air-to-air session. No preparation. An old camera. A kit lens. Raw footage that, back then, was simply unusable. At the time, this material went straight to the archive. Years later, it comes back. Not because the shot changed — but because I did. The second part shows the same moment after full post-production. DaVinci Resolve. Topaz Video. Stability, sharpness, control. This is what continuous development looks like. Not magic. Not shortcuts. Just learning how to rescue footage that once felt wasted. #airtoairfilmmaking #aviationfilmmaker #DaVinciResolve #TopazVideo #postproduction
