Where would it be?

I shot, edited, and released this video in 8 hours.  It is shot with the Mavic Pro and edited with Final Cut Pro.  The idea was to give the effect of one continuous shot.  These murals are all located within a 1 mile radius and the people that see them regularly know their locations.  I used transitions to disorient the viewer in the sky.  Hope you enjoy...

I would take the Mavic Pro on a cross-country trip across the Western to Eastern part of the U.S.

Thank you sir!  This was a "challenge" video.  I allowed myself no more than 8 hours to complete it.

You do have some very talent artists in your area.
You did a superb job in shooting and editing the video.

Hard to believe you did the whole thing in 8 hours. My hat is off to you.

WOW!  I love this video and idea.  There is an area here in Miami called Wynwood that has a lot of murals.  You inspired me .  Would you mind if I borrow your idea?

It's true.  8 hours.  I live within minutes of these murals.  I actually had to go back for another shot of the blue piercing eyes because I forgot to turn on the camera the first time through.  The edit was quick and dirty.

I would love to do it again and have others participate in the challenge.

You are VERY talented!

Thank you.  I am very persistent.

Here is one I did with the Inspire in 2016.  It's a montage.  I've learned a lot about editing since then.  This one features my original song that I play and sing.  Airvuz used this in their NY exhibit.

Haha.  You can use the idea if you promise you will link me to your video when you complete it.  Deal?

Extraordinary  video.
Following the Amulets journey was inspirational.

Very nice dude! Great progression.

Special version and interesting place, great clip, David, thank you for sharing.

If you had a Mavic Pro where would you go?

Just substitute the car back in the day for the drone and this is where you'd be flying your Mavic Pro:

For all you Europeans out there, the commercial highlights passing the Porsche on the Auto Bahn, just pretend the Mavic Pro in Sport Mode?

Thank you for sharing, nice movies.

Very nice work!

You got it!   My wife has been wanting to go see the murals for a while and wants to do it this weekend.  I'll shoot you a link to the completed project.  Thanks!

Thank you sir!  The Amulet is a work in progress and the beginning and conclusion I will shoot this summer.  It will make a little more sense then I think.

Here's a good one for Friday...  This is one is rare in that no drone was used.  This one features the OSMO and the X5R.  The stability of the OSMO was remarkable, too.  My sailboat was pithing a lot more than it appears but the horizon was nice and stable...  I call this one "Friday I'm In Love".

All great videos, truly artistic! Thank you very much.

wooow wonderful video!!!

A great production

Thank you all for the encouragement.  When I started I had to build and assemble my first drone.  I also had to promptly crash and repair it...  Now you can get one off of the shelf at Best Buy for half the cost and twice as good.  Early on it was amazing just to see an unstabilized GoPro zooming through the sky.  Now, a 10-year-old can fly a drone with ease.  To set yourself apart requires at least as much ability with the editing software as the drone.  These days I spend more time conceiving the idea and editing the shots than capturing them with the drone.  Here is a video of what was for me a landmark flight just several years ago.  The technology has doubled and re-doubled on itself in a very short time.  I call this one "This is Magic".  And at the time... This was magic...

That drone was not equipped with the 2 axis gimble.  Adding it to the drone and controlling it was cutting edge.
