Another zoo video and favorite screengrab

Went to the zoo yesterday to practice with the camera and shot some more footage. Put together a funny music video and will post here when I get the file size down. This frame of a gator (or croc?) is my favorite - really shows off the resolution and even some shallow dof with no adaptor. I was only about 3 feet from him . Jpeg compression doesn't help though and I found no option to export the frame in 16x9.
Comments invited and if you know how to export stills in proper aspect ratio, let me know.

Still frame

GREAT BRO! My kids loved that.. Gonna have to show it to them again later. CONGRATS on some great looking footage.. cut nicely with the music. Kind of seen it before.. but who cares as it's well done.

Only thing I would say would be to eliminate the black frames. As an editor I spot those right away.. And also there's some sizing and image adjustments that kind of distract a bit.. Other than that.. very very nice work..


I went to seaworld with my HVX and it was such a great time shooting there... the HVX makes little trips into stock footage opportunities..

Thanks for showing!
 
Thanks for the comments! Yeah, I knew about the black frames and sizing issues with a couple of clips - got lazy afer spending the last half hour re sizing the whole sequence clip by clip because the whole thing had somehow gotten downsized about 30%. Not sure whatbutton I accidentally hit to do that. Still trying to learn FCP.
Could you tell I had my 12 year old daughter watching over my shoulder advising?
