Miami by Drone in 4K - DJI Mavic 2 Pro 

Nice catch. You're the first person to comment on that!

@@BlueMantleFilms hi can I use some of ur images in a movie ???

I charge for licensing, so if you're interested in licensing for a fee, please send me an email (can be found on the "about" section of this channel). Thanks!

@@BlueMantleFilms ok !!!

@@BlueMantleFilms where do you get your sound effects at for these kind of things?

This Is How We Bingham :-)

Thank you! And awesome that you're planning on watching the tutorial. If you're into being a perfectionist and REALLY trying to get an awesome hyperlapse, you should check out my advanced post process also. That one isn't so much a step-by-step, but it gives the broad steps I take to process these hyperlapses, particularly for difficult or otherwise "unusable" ones.

Just watched the first one 👍 Do you have to purchase a license for LRT? Here is my first attempt. It was very windy. m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=451193058621686&id=350802028778529

To use the full version of LRT, yes, you need a license. I can't remember what the trial version does to limit it, but there are limitations on it. But get the trial, see if you like it, and if you do and you realize it's worth it, then you can get the license.

@@GreggWolstenholme That's because you probably hasn't seen my friend's channel, "Majestic flights" , find his channel and compare his timelapse videos with this one... You'll be amazed!... If you visit his channel, please let him know that I recommended you visiting his channel. Have a great evening!... Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🌵🇵🇷

i love

I know! I've been flying drones for 4.5 years, started with the Phantom 2 with a GoPro, and even that impressed me with what it was capable of. But the amount of development and innovation in this technology is mind-blowing. And thank you for the kind words on our work. I do like to put that extra time in to make sure it really shines. I actually was thinking of publishing this yesterday, but I wanted to fine-tune some things, and I'm glad I did because it does make a difference.

i am from china ,beautiful.i want to visit here !

Yep, one of the best uses of the best features of the M2P. I'm looking to buy one soon* and I've been watching loads of M2P&Z on RU-vid. It seems only about 15% of users get the best from the Pro; one actually makes the Zoom look quite a bit better. I hope I can work out how you've got the images so sharp and avoided the dreaded stutter of fast pans and "zooms". Can you say why you think some people have failed in these two aspects? Anyway, great video - almost makes me want to go there. * or shall I wait for M3?

Hello 👋 Fan

Hello pretty Angel how are you doing today?

Thank you for the compliment. I *almost* didn't do the sound design on this one because I was so eager to publish it and start working on our next video. But knew I'd be disappointed in myself if I didn't, and the response to having the sound design included has been very positive, so it further cements in my mind that sound design is so critical and should be included in all of our films.

Blue Mantle Films where did you get the sounds?

Thanks! I had thought about making a calendar with some of these shots, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

South Florida is one of the worlds most popular tourist areas though?

@@WoWplayer527 yeahhhhh but people still choose the Bahamas and the Caribbean for their summer...

@@hamilton_reacts I can tell you that we are busiest down here in the winter... not the summer.

@@JustARosko Bahamas??

Miami isn't a state tho

It is a very beautiful city!

@Brendan Hello 👋 Fan

Keep believing BS underwater !

Thanks! I really want to get back into creating more drone videos. Happy this one still is enjoyable to watch.

Thank you. This was a fun project to make, particularly to be able to use the drone just to make beautiful imagery rather than "for a tutorial". Not that I don't like tutorials, but it can be really fun to just create for the sake of creating.

Thanks! It's always a balancing act. I've been doing sound design on my drone videos for years...sometimes more obvious, sometimes less obvious, and I'm constantly trying to find the right balance.

Thanks for the feedback! In retrospect, even for myself now that I've learned more, if I were doing this again I'd tone down the sound design (still definitely would have it, just not so prominent).

@@BlueMantleFilms I hear you and of course this is totally subjective. However, the sound effects for me are are at the perfect volume and sit nicely just beneath the music to add another level of depth and immersion. Keep up the great work.

I'll chime in a little on this (though I don't really think the whole sensor "controversy" is that big of a deal): when shooting hyperlapses (all of the night shots), the drone is using the full sensor. The working theory by the guy who first posted about the M2P sensor only using half of the sensor is that that's the case when shooting footage, as a way to offset the possibility of overheating. But when taking one picture every two seconds, rather than 30 pictures per second, the overheating problem wouldn't be there, so the drone is able to use the full resolution from the sensor. That said, even with realtime footage I've still been very happy with the results I've gotten. I don't care about charts or tech specs so long as the images I'm able to produce with a tool are images I'm happy with. In this case I'm happy with the imagery, and it might or might not be as sharp as a P4P, but I don't really care.

Well said and logical. Your cinematography skills are awesome. You'd make a 2/3 sensor look good. Its not the equipment but the person using it. Well done sir . . .

oh . . . and I purchased the M2P. I didn't buy any of the stuff Cliff was selling. Keep up the good work.

It is?

Thank you. See...I don't think I could do Florida...it's too hot! I was there during a "mild" time for much of it, and the humidity was still really uncomfortable. But it is beautiful, so it does have that going for it.

That is quite the compliment. Thank you. My hope with this video was to demonstrate that it's a very capable machine able to produce professional work.

Thanks!

Thank you! Grazie.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!

Blue Mantle Films Yesss! Curious to know how you achieve such sharpness and smoothness? You shot at 4K/30fps?

Thanks!

👍👍👍👃

Thanks! Hopefully the good kind of "nailed it", not the fail kind. :-)

right

Thanks.

Danke!

Es ist in der Tat sehr wunderbar.

The technique is speed ramping, and in Premiere Pro (what I use) the effect is called Time Remapping. I don't know what the effect would be called in FCPX...I haven't used FCP since they introduced X like ten years ago, so I'm out of the loop with its current features. I do think it has some sort of capability that is similar to Time Remapping though. If you look up "Speed ramping FCPX" I'm sure you'll find a ton of info on it.

Blue Mantle Films thx a lot !

Press Shift+B in fcpx or go for „speed ramp orion yorke“ in RU-vid

PERFECT , THX A MILLION !

What frame rate did you use on the clips that you used speed ramping on? This vid is so so sweet man. Love the tweaking on your hyperlapse shots.

Thanks.

Wow! I'll admit I'm not sure how to respond to compliments this strong. I really do appreciate the compliment. I love creating content like this, so it's encouraging that yourself and many others have responded so positively to it. Hopefully we'll be able to keep making videos like this.

It is!

Thanks!

You're welcome! I love watching videos that inspire me to create, so it's good to hear a video we made can also do that. :-)

I know! From the past with other drones I’m used to having to either skip a lot of shots because of vibration or having to at the very least use Warp Stabilizer, and in this one I had literally one shot (real-time footage, that is) that I ran Warp Stabilizer on. Now, that said, the hyperlapses I did stabilize in post as part of processing them to be the best I could make them, but that’s different, I think, because those are filmed over 15-20 minutes, so of course they’re going to jitter a little bit. As far as P4P vs. M2P, I really think it’s up to the person. Use whatever you want to use to make content, but then stop complaining about other tools and just go make content! I wanted with this video to show that M2P can be taken seriously as a machine that can be used for professional work. Anyway, thanks for watching the video! I’m obviously very happy with the response it has gotten. :-)

I mean. Maybe your p4p is broken? The p4p isn’t “better.” It's the same camer, probably a little better image, overall. But it will do all this. You would just have to do your hypes the old fashioned way.

Blue Mantle Films Excellent! (Curious how you could achieve same with P4P.)

good question

I most definitely do post processing with the raw images. The automatically-generated videos can look cool, but to really get the best-possible hyperlapses, particularly for color and dynamic range, it's necessary to use the raw. I process the raw images in Lightroom to bring out the colors, then load them into Premiere to run Warp Stabilizer on them. ¡Gracias por suscribirse!

Now that I'm subscribed, I've seen all your videos, you have one of how to do it for normal people and another for advanced SUPER people, what if you do one for totally new/amateur people? hahaha

Thanks! I was pretty giddy when I saw some of the shots I was getting!

Thank you. I've been so impressed by what can be done with this drone!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll counter with a few things: I actually did adjust levels and the reverb (making them acoustically softer) based off of the height/distance. volleyball hits in real life are very distinct-sounding, so I actually think that's what you'd hear from 30-ish feet away. And for traffic: I intentionally lowered the levels of traffic on the higher-altitude shots. Most of the shots were taken at between 50-100ft altitude, and it was mostly just the hyperlapses and the few wide city skyline shots that the drone was up closer to 400 feet. So for the lower down shots the levels were a bit higher, but on the higher up shots I lowered the levels and added a Surround Reverb filter, set to "Somewhere Not Here" to make the sounds sound distant. That said (and as I've said in other comments) this is all a learning process for me, so while I did intentionally do some of the things you suggest, I didn't execute them as well as I could have. Yes, finding the balance of music and sfx is definitely something I struggle with. I like to hear both, but I guess I need to learn to prioritize one or the other. I know on my next video I'll be intentionally more subtle in my sound design, because this does seem to be the main critique that this film is getting. Thank you again for your feedback. I'm hoping to continue growing through this process. :-)

Sounds like you will do better on the next video. Regardless, it appears there are a lot of viewers who perceive the effects as "fake." When mixed correctly, you will hear few comments about the sound efx, as people will not even notice they were there. As a sound engineer for film and TV for years, we used to have a saying, "Less is more."

was about to ask how the volleyball sound was captured, fantastic work.

I wouldn't say the natural sound overlay sounded "fake" as much as "misplaced" in some scenes. By your reply you are aware of this issue and have adjusted the audio feel to mitigate this. I am totally with you when you say: "finding the balance of music and sfx is definitely something I struggle with" I am right there with you. I love the footage I get from my M2P finding the right audio to go with the footage is more challenging than people think. All told I love the piece.

I'm not a sound guy or a filmmaker but the sound stood out as weird to me. Like it drew my attention to the "I shouldn't be hearing that sound like this"

Thanks! There's always room for improvement, but I don't discount that I'm happy with how this video turned out. Glad the tutorials are helpful! I'll be making more, but about once a week is the fastest I'm able to make them while still having a regular life. :-)

Thank you. I appreciate the affirmation!
