With drones and quadcopters becoming a common tool in indy filmmaker arsenals, I wanted to share 10 of my tips for capturing the most cinematic aerial footage.
Bart, I am amazed that even though your video is one year old; its still more relevant and useful then the new material that's out there. Thank you explaining things in detail and for sharing your awesome tips :)
Chad, Thanks, this also is the first time I've actually commented on youtube. My true complements, as a very comfortable well paced informative piece. I'd personally try to keep my shot movements to two or 3 moves max vs adding as many as possible. But, I like the challenge and always open to trying new things. Thanks again, nice work!
Great tips. Especially the one about shooting flat. I think many people dont use it because it looks kind of terrible if you dont edit it but man it gives so much more possibilities to tweak it in post editing.
Thanks Bart! I'm an absolute rookie when it comes to all things video, but through tips like yours I'm going to soak up as much as possible and try to get better every time I shoot.
Very good information. Not often you see someone that talks from a photographer/videographer point of view instead of the typical mediocre is good enough RU-vid film maker mindset
Very good points! Just received my first drone (M2Pro). Having a strong still camera background (Sony a7rii), shooting RAW, and always manual mode, you touched on a number of critical items. Oh, I've never shot video before!
Really excellent, there were 2 tips that I never heard about before, despite the large number of "10 tips ..."-type videos I've seen in the past ! Thank you!
Hey Bart, I dont give out compliments freely, But I've been looking for a helpful drone video like this pretty much all day. Your video is the most comprehensive so far. Thank you.
As usual, a Professional Presentation.... without the his favorite music blaring in the background... as so many videos are now days. Thank for the 10 tips..... I've ben into photography for more than 40 years, and I'm going into using a Drone .... playing and getting the most out of it! I have to leave my photo studio behind and go into the field. No more Models or Table tops for awhile. Viewers note, he knows what he doing, I could tell within a few minutes. Bill Blast Photography (Ret.)
Thank you for the kind words! I hope these tips help you as you get into the drone photography business. Not only is it something clients are looking for more of these days, its also a ton of fun! I wish you the best of luck!
Hey Bart, Excellent video and advice. Its nice to see sharpness, tripod mounted video and dialogue that doesn't include "You guys out there". I particularly enjoyed the before and after post examples that were worth a thousand word. Well done Mate!
This is such an awesome video, thank you so much I got a drone my self and I can't wait to try it out, I will definitely subscribe to you and you definitely deserve more likes. Keep up the good work bud!
Awesome tips bro, very good advice. I am a beginner so I wanted to find something that would help me in the future when it comes to "making movie shots/cinematography" so your tips are a plus and very helpful and educational for someone like me who's looking to someday do the same thing your doing..... Thank you and God Bless.
