Had a long layover in England which lead to "Layover, Brighton" - shot with the A6300

So on my trip to Cannes I had a long layover in Gatwick, London. Even though my previous flight was delayed and I got no sleep on the overnight flight I decided rather than sleeping in the airport that I take this opportunity to explore. So I bought a random train ticket that had me end up in Brighton. Armed with only the Sony A6300 and Sony 18-105mm F4 lens (I had to travel light on this trip) I did something I don't do often, shoot with no preproduction for the edit. I just shot and went with the flow and as a studio guy doing this with no lights and minimal gear was a fun challenge.

I shot 3 of these in total (1 during my layover, 1 in Cannes during the festival, and one in Monaco) and I'm always open to constructive criticism, specially on grading since I'm not a colorist but want to improve.
 
Nice to see my city on here! Nothing to do with your shooting, which is nice, but I really don't like the motion cadence that seems to come out of this camera.
 
Hay man - I think there might actually be something buggy with your render or the upload.

It's worse than motion cadence, it appears to be dropping a lot of frames when viewed in Chrome.
I thought it might be my connection speed so I dropped the streaming down to 540p and 360p.

It's visible on almost half the shots so it's probably happening all the way through. Super visible on the shots at :09, :43, :45, 1:16, and 2:31.

Don't know what to say about what could be causing it though, but it doesn't show this way on IE. I tried it and re-tried it three times. Exact same behavior each time.

Weird...

I like the shots/concept and the slow motion is great. I've been considering this exact camera/lens combo, but am now unsure. I'm not knocked out with the motion quality or lens detail in this.
 
The 18-105 looks like it does a nice job of cutting the micro jitters. This lens is my next purchase, just need to find a good deal on a used one.
