    Cool! One suggestion…. Are you setting focus, exposure, aperture and everything manually? It looks like it may be changing from frame to frame, and might look better if it stayed locked (manually).

      And given this was the first time ever doing something like this (for most of them) I am amazing anything showed up at all 🙂
