In the time since I began using drones, the nature of my application of footage I capture has slowly shifted from only documenting a location to a something far different. I wouldn’t necessarily call my goal capturing cinematic footage either, although it may fall into that category, but instead I aim to create compelling works of uniqueness which inspire and provoke. For example, in my most recent video I was attemptaging to visually portray a portion of prose I wrote some years ago:
Phosphate fingerprints tip-tapping the glassy shards,left from the broken pseudo-science of feeling.
Hoping that amnesia can be capsulated, and synthesized and taken in pill form.
And it can, if only temporarily...
Blurring until the tempo of a word is only the vibration of aphid legs in the silent scream of space.
The syllables crawling until the particles of speech slur, and slash across the jagged cliffs of forgetfulness.
An insect in its death throes to forget the utterance of a word; that is myself struggling to misplace your name.
The same word used to invoke notions of music box masterpieces attuned to Bach by candlelight.
The same figment of imagination used to play a special kind of pretend.
Pigmentation of oceanic overviews, the kind once called forever.
Complete with sonnets and an "I love you," that contaminates even the ruins of relating.
Each sound hieroglyphic; pictographs showcasing how a world burns.
Each breeze, a winter attuned.
All this clear-cutting, just to forest the tree we carved our initials on.
Wanting so much to deplete the treasury mentality culminates.
Lifetimes, it seems, spent losing the self in order to displace something.
My world is offroading now,
not wanting to follow the road-sign heartbeats that have always loved "You."
The resulting creation is thus, “Mentality’s Treasure.” I hope you enjoy it.
Whether or not I was successful portraying that prose remains to be seen, but it is in the attempt to create something truly unique and wholly my own where I find the most joy and fulfillment.

You're welcome my friend. Weekend is going well, I just wish it was dry and sunny.
Two weeks of rain and the next dry day is five days out.
The weather here has been wet off and on, but the warmer temps and blossoming trees makes the rain a bit more bearable. “May the sun shine, and skies of deepest blue (and having a perfect ratio of fluffy, silver-lined clouds), find us all.” Amen

Thank you kindly, panda bear. I have been trying to incorporate more visual storytelling elements into every video I create, and while my experimentation method of trial and error is far from perfect - it has yielded some interesting results. I’m very happy you enjoyed this one. It’s always a pleasure seeing you here. All the best, panda.

Such an amazing experiment! Great final, just mind blowing. Perfect work, as always. Thank you!
It’s my pleasure, Lysak. Thanks your encouragement. After several months of working only with aerial footage, I’ve found myself wanting to expand beyond the air and begin to incorporate shots from the ground also. My search for the appropriate land-based camera system is on! Any suggestions you or anyone from the forum may have would be much appreciated.
Paride, I’m happy to know you enjoyed it. Originally I had planned to do voiceover for this project but found my wordy prose (or possibly my very-American accent) to be distracting. I was eager to find a creative application of newly acquired audio equipment but it simply wasn’t for this video (not with my voice, anyway), haha.

Very nice of you to say so, Matthew. Thanks, man! The birds in this video, while they look majestic in flight, aren’t eagles. They’re vultures, or buzzards as they’re called ‘round these mountains. And while that one did dive toward my aircraft, it turned away right at the last moment - thank goodness. Thanks again for reaching out.
It’s really my honor to share this passion for drones and aerial photography with all of you here. I still feel as novice as I did when I started this endeavor last year, not exactly comfortable or confident that what I’m creating is very good when compared to work of the masters here. It’s humbling that my little creative revelries are noticed at all, and even more so when highlighted in such a way. There’s still a long road of learning ahead but I am excited for the next challenge. Much thanks.
