Some facts about this video:

• 7 days for this edit
• 3000 files (1063 of them were video files)
• 145 Gb (90 Gb of that was video)
• 19 drone flights
• 101 km
• 314 minutes flight time
  

The gear I used:

• Nikon D610 (main camera)
• Olympus Tough Tg5 (shots with water involved)
• Panasonic X900 (travel camera and for train spotting)
• iPhone SE + iPhone 6s (timelapses in the car + gimbal shots)
• DJI Osmo Mobile
• DJI Mavic Pro
• 2 tripods
• Power bank to charge the Osmo + iPhone while taking motionlapses
  

So I had a lot of file sorting and selecting to do
Plus I tried a couple of animations that I was not familiar with (using Davinci Resolve)
But it all went very very organized and I can now share a little compilation of our 2 weeks in Sweden!



Have fun watching and if you have questions, please ask!

Old souls for their young ages.

Someone has gifted them the knowledge of the great outdoors. Even whittling sticks with sharp knives.

I’m totally impressed.

Amazing work Monty. Very creatively edited. Great time lapses in there. The one at 3:10 was stunning.

Looks so much fun. Are they your children? they are so lovely. Nice video, you should submit it to the #Summer event! ;)

Thanks Panda!
Yes they are
I could, but a lot of the video was captured with non DJI equipment, so I'm not sure if I will meet that requirement.
Still waiting for the day you release a Full Frame camera mounted on an Osmo device

Oh wait, you already have with the X7 (sort of), but that is totally out of my budget

Nice work, such a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing

I can't wait to travel and try to create something like this. Amazing

You're Welcome, Thank you for your inspirational footage.

Did you use a specific software to create the moving car, please?

AmyMarieBorg Posted at 8-20 12:22

That is what these forums are for right (among others) ?

AmyMarieBorg Posted at 8-20 12:24

Yes, I used Davinci Resolve for that.
Plus Affinity photo for making png files from the car and our heads
(with a transparant background)
It was a lot of work, especially since I never did it before, but it was nice to make.
I can make a tutorial when I have the time

Montfrooij Posted at 8-20 12:27

That would be amazing, do you mean each movement is an image, please? I'm a media and photography student and I'm very interested in learning new things. Thank You

Montfrooij Posted at 8-20 12:25

Yeah, I'm here to learn and get inspired into how to use my OP once it arrives, I can't wait.

I have to find the time (because that would be something new for me too).
But I used another tutorial that does sort of the same.
It should get you started.



No, it is not made frame by frame.
A lot of that work is done for you by Davinci Resolve.
(you can download that for free at their site with only minimal limitations)
Affinity photo is not free, but is a great (and cheap) alternative for Photoshop.

AmyMarieBorg Posted at 8-20 12:31
Yeah, I'm here to learn and get inspired into how to use my OP once it arrives, I can't wait.

Exactly what I'm doing here.
Plus sharing some work of course and getting tips from that too!

Yeah, I have both of them, but I'm still quite green to both of the softwares. Thank You very much for sharing this tutorial. I'll give this tutorial a go. Thank You

Just found out about this forum, can't wait to try and post some footage. Hope op arrives soon.

I can imagine!
If you add some of your own music, that would be great too!

Hehe, I need to find someone to film some videos for me.

It is a bit far to Malta for me
OP has a 'follow me' mode. So you can track yourself while walking around

Hehe yeah, I've heard. I'll try to attach a microphone one day and see what happens. I already have a RODE one, hope it's compatible. If I may ask, where are you from?

I'm from The Netherlands (you should be able to see that below my avatar, that is my last know location (to DJI)
That is how I noticed yours too!

I would suggest recording the music in a room or so before filming and doing a fake later for the video.
Maybe even speed up the song while play backing so you can make a slow motion effect later

Yeah, a slow-motion would be nice halfway through, thanks for the tips. Still can't understand why I need to speed up the music. Can't I edit the footage and baking separately?
