Pyramiden is a ghost town from the Soviet-Era in Svalbard. Only 800 miles from the North Pole.

I went there with my Osmo Mobile, Samsung s8 amd my Phantom 4 Pro with the hope that I could get some nice aerial video with me.

This is a story about me trying to fly inside a russian ghost town. But it is also about me trying to put context to the drone video i make.

The struggles and the joy behind the dronevideos i make. That is something I want to explore and share more.

I think there is often alot of good stories behind dronevideos. Stories that may improve the dronevideo itself, because it got context.

This is the first time I have used After Effect. And it took some time to learn but will definitly be using it more in the future. Got a lot to learn.

I hope you can enjoy my exploring and experimenting

Three cheers for Jan!

Jan was my guardian angel. Dont know how many times he appear in the video. But seems he was in the background or the foreground all the time thanks alot for the comment and your sub!

Very nice video.
And a beautiful edit also.
Maybe one little thing, the drone footage looks very different from the other footage.
A bit of colour correction could probably solve this

Great video and a great story. I'm sure glad you managed to get a cable.

Thank you for you comment!

The reason for this is the camera on the P4Pro is better than the front camera on the samsung s8. At least thst is whst I think.

I tried to get it to match but I couldnt get the colors right. It really was a big difference in the 2 different recordings.
Much less information in the mobile recording.


Of course it could be that im not good enough.

I know it is difficult, I'm always having a hard time matching my different camera's
And probably won't do any better hahahahaha.
It is just that I noticed
