Trying something new so I made a video of the Gin Blossoms playing at our local music concert series. This was the first show of 2018. It was a beautiful day and I got some nice drone shots, but my video of the band was quite shakey. And I should have got more shots of the crowd. Oh well, it's ok for my first try merging LIVE music performance with drone shots.

Good work Bing      

Cool video! About how far away is the drone at the beginning of that opening shot? Just curious. It makes me nervous when my Spark gets about 1000 feet away. I've only ever done it twice, maybe I need to venture out more and get comfortable.

Nice video and cool to see all people from above. Thumbs up!

I think I was about 3/4 mile out. That shot is reversed BTW.

Great video, thank you very much! And from what I could see you gave a good example by keeping sufficient distance from the crowd, well done!

yep, tried to keep it over the river the whole time.

Thanks everyone for the great comments! Thanks A CW, unhommelibre, piXal, and Wachtberger for watching and replying! Rochester has these free concerts every Sunday but I'll only be able to attend every other Sunday. I definitely learned a few things and will try again with Lissie on July 22nd. I'm going to get more crowd shots next time and maybe capture the band performance from a tripod or something to make it more steady. I'm happy with how the audio turned out so I don't think I'll change anything with that. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks again!
