Hi all,

Snow is melting here in Illinois. I'm starting to see more beautiful sunrises and sunsets.



I hope you'll enjoy it.

Amazing flight Beautiful colors

Those sunrises where the light sneaks between the land and the clouds give the most spectacular skies. Lots of flat wide-open space there to zoom about

Beautiful footage.   

Beautiful footage.   

Nice flying - loving the barrel rolls!

Not sure I'd describe it as cinematic, though, unless we are talking a scene from a vampire movie or a Quiditch game in Harry Potter

The sky colour is spectacular. Are those orange/purple hues on the snow straight out of the camera or did you grade or up the saturation?

Awesome footage.    Love the colors of the sky at sunrise.  

What a great location to fly at.  Saw some work going on there, so is that going to be a housing development?

Thank you for pointing out the cinematic stuff. I want to learn more how to describe cinematic. From my newbie knowledge about footages/videos, looks like cruising is not enough to describe a cinematic footage. What should a cinematic footage contain aside from cruising? I might be even wrong that cruising is for cinematic. Please let me know.

Yes, I increased the colors a lot to exaggerate what I see and few color changes.

Thank you.

Oooooh, the million dollar question... what does cinematic mean?

I watched a great video on YouTube a couple of montsh ago that does a really good job of making you think about it because it's not something that can easily be defined.

This kind kind of answers the question, but doesn't answer it. It's well worth a watch.



The closest I could come to defining it is that cinematic video has a 'feeling' about it that makes it feel more than just video... but realy that doesn't come close to a definition. Not only does my definition fall way short of what I feel cinematic fottage needs, but it's about 'feelings' - and how do you define those.

It's a real rabbit hole of a question, but I think that video does a really good job of showing that it's NOT just slo-mo, motion blur and muted tones, which seems to be a version of a simplified definition that is quite popular on YouTube.

Oh, and I'm guessing you use 'newbie' only to refer to your video knowledge? There's certainly nothing newbie about that flying.... really impressive!
