GH3 in Vietnam

[jonpais]

I thought I'd post one of my first tests of the GH3 with the Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 zoom lens.
Standard, Settings -3 or -4 contrast, -3 sharpness, -2 saturation, -2 NR
1080p 24fps 50Mbps
I edited in FCPX, with sharpness around 2.5-3.5 and saturation at around +15.
I was just hoping I could get some advice, since I'm new to FCP.
Sorry, the video doesn't exactly flow or anything, it's just a bunch of shots around district 1 in HCMC, Vietnam.

Ah, how I miss Saigon.

Nice clips but I kept wishing for some other perspective than from the standing position. And then at the very end you threw a couple in and it was immediately refreshing.

I notice you dial sharpness down in camera and then apply it back in FCP X. I'm not a big fan of the software's sharpening tool and I think I've only used it once and then with only the slightest touch.

Don't quite understand the saturation level. If you are interested in color correction, check out the following. I suggest repeated viewing because there's a lot in that short 30 minutes.

Thank you so much for your comments stoneinapond. I only realized the video was over-sharpened after uploading it to YouTube. The saturation levels are just what I dialed in on FCPX. I think I've watched all Larry Jordan's FCP tutorials EXCEPT this one. I'll definitely watch it.
