Tested out my new Phantom 3 and put together a short little video to see what the end product would look like. Girlfriend didn't know she'd be front and center haha.

Be thankful that she wants to share your interest and gets involved... and obviously enjoys it.

nice job! good edits! enjoyed it. thx.

Actually, pretty good.  That's the kind of video you don't tell her about, keep it under wraps until your wedding, then break it out in front of everyone.   

What post-production workstream do you use (software, etc.)?

Funny, I was gonna say the same thing.  I think it's the cuts to the music that kept me interested throughout the whole thing.  But it was also the good flying that made me watch it twice in a row - like the "spinning into the crane up" movement.

I'm still practicing my "POI into a back away into a smooth turn forward" move.  lol

Where was the video shot?

Nice one and indeed your girlfriend seems to enjoy your drone as much as you do! I don't think she will hate you after all ;)

Very interesting  and cool video,  great video shots showing good control and interesting angles with an added human interest element.  Your girlfriend reminds me my daughter, fun and a little silly. I am gonna  have to call her for breakfast, haven't seen her for a couple of weeks.

Great footage, enjoyed it a lot - good job!

Really fun video. She is indeed a keeper! Lovely to sse such expression.

With the bar being raised ever higher and higher in the drone video arena, it's fun to watch a fresh take.
The video editing, music and certainly your energetic girlfriend kept my attention all the way through.
Well done.

Very fun video. Good flying, good editing and nice soundtrack. It all works well together. Many thanks to your girlfriend for her enthusiasm and energy!

That was really well done.  You have creative strength  I suffer emasculating video shrinkage seeing you did the flight with what looks like an iPhone.

Keep sharing please.

Ha ... I was at a business meeting in Quebec, and one of the Canadians mentioned that town.  I quickly grabbed my smartphone to find out where it was.  Finally, I asked, "Where the hell is Upper Rubber Boot, Canada?"  I think two of them actually peed in their pants.  LOL

It's now my favorite place in Canada.

Great video buddy!! You're girl has some kool moves too hahaha.

Good editing and good music can't really fault it that much.

You can watch it in HD on Vimeo, the video on the blog is pretty poor resolution

Any hints on the track? It's awesome and catchy!

Nice shot...

Is your GF  looks like a Filipino... happy people !!  Lucky u !

filipino is a boy / filipina is a girl

If your special lady isn't down with quads, she's got to go.  Keep her around.

Great vid!! So many posted vid's re-use the same material over and over.The same coastline for  2 or 3 minutes gets old.  Nice variation, as well as camera work.

As for the Girl - You are one lucky dude!! And yes, if you do have any plans for marriage, this would be a smash hit at the reception!
Oh yea, viewers, definately go to Vimeo and watch the HD version.

Great video. Amazing little Hi tech toy.

Keep her interested by teaching her to fly the quad -- then she can do a video of YOU dancing around in a field!

I like the saturated colors.  Did you do it post-processing, or by changing the camera settings?

Shot everything in standard 60fps 1080P settings.
