Hey Peeps,
So what do you pilots call it when you fly super slow and then speed it up in post?  I'm dubbing this a "FlyLapse" since my MA is too low tech to do a hyperlapse (which I realize is actually a sequence of photos, not an accellerated video).   
Also, I would really appreciate feedback on my color grading.  I am shooting in D-Cine and using iMovie, which I know is limited, but I'd really like some idea what your expert eyes see as using some improvement.  I am tired of my sunset shadows looking basically like black and white and I'm wondering if I can improve this, or if the MA's tiny sensor is actually doing the best it can for me...
Thanks y'all!


PS: if you like this teaser you can see the full video at:

Looks nice.
The issue with speeding up the footage is that you also need to stabilize it in post.
With a hyperlapse feature, DJI Go4 'should' take care of that.

I'm sure the HyperLapse feature on the new M2 is sweet, and I would probably use it a lot if it were on the MA.  For this one, I just flew manually reeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy slowly and then set it to 8x speed in iMovie.  The effect is similar but lower quality and not as long / hyper.  Basically, I was proud of my thumbs for holding the same spot on the controls for so long =)

Oh you can be proud for sure.
That requires very steady thumbs!
