Thanks to all for the compliments and the input. Still trying to sort through what works. I have seen many drone videos that are just a series of long flyovers and honestly, they bore me to death. The countryside may be beautiful but for me, it gets old fast. Trying to avoid a similar result. But as they say, different strokes for different folks.
I agree about flying in a straight line. To my eye, it just looks better. But yea, I caved on the clip at 1:27. I did not realize how amazing the cloud reflection looked until I was back at home looking at the footage. I kicked myself for not holding heading but I was really just knocking around flying - not trying to make a shot.

What I notice again and again is that the vast majority of clips are recorded in forward flight. I don't understand that, because right from the start the viewer sees the entire scene. It is much more interesting and exciting when you see the scene grow and only see everything at the end. The clip at the beginning and the one from 1:01 are typical examples of how it looks boring (but for 3 to 5 seconds its still ok). Of course you should really fly backwards and not flip the video so that people run backwards ;-) But as a demo ... just take the 2 clips and flip them and you will see that this is a completely different perception.
A video should have a topic, otherwise it looks like a big mess. Or you give him the topic "The art of droning" ;-)
And I think a good video is about 3 minutes long (or the duration of 1 avarage song) and contains 20 to 30 clips.
Remember : Thats MY statement, not the one from all |
