Documentary Style Film with the Fujifilm XH2S | Full Walkthrough + BTS

Follow along as I break down a recent documentary style video I made for a local non-profit that focused on emotional storytelling. This was shot pretty much entirely on the Fujifilm XH2S with audio recorded using the built-in preamps. I hope that it would be helpful to you :)
