Hello everyone, I want to share with you a short video (5 minutes) of an old medieval castle located in the Czech Republic.
It was built by King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV between 1356 and 1361.
I've already made a video of this castle, but since then I was able to shoot many more interesting shots and I felt like doing it again.

Hope you like it!

Thank you :-)
Well, it took countless flights, probably around 50 I guess, but I had a whole year, so....

Nice video but it is really sad that they put a cellular antenna on it, I can't beleive that.

Thank's all for the responses! :-)

To Daniella3d: Yeah, it's a shame. Unfortunately it has been like this for a very very long time, the first antennas have been put up there in the 60s of the previous century and it seems like there is not going to be any change soon...

Nice video!  I like the mixing up of the different seasons.   It's kind of funny that the castle has turned into a communications tower - but I suppose it's interesting as well in a sort of old meets new type theme.

I liked the angles shot around the 3:00 mark.  Also what's up with the effect at 3:40?   There's some interesting distortion of the background happening!

Wow, thanks again to you all!

To ajmckay: Well maybe you have a point with the old/new theme, but I think I would still prefer the tower free of any antennas.
Anyway, the effect at 3:40 is classic dolly zoom. Meaning that the drone is moving away from the castle but in post processing I used key frames to zoom in on the castle.
Google "dolly zoom effect" and you'll surely learn more

These shoots are extremely smooth.... do you use ND filters maybe or have some nice post workflow to smooth it further?

To eYeSkYeYe: Thank you. And as a matter of fact, no, I don't have any ND filters. Even the posprocessing is very simple, I only slightly adjusted contrast, saturation and exposition of the shots. I also used some key frames, but I don't think that has anything to do with the smoothness you are refering to. Otherwise it's just pure Spark power
