To celebrate Halloween and promote interaction and communication in the DJI Forum, we are launching the "Skyborne Sorcerer of Halloween" content creation campaign, inviting all overseas DJI users to present their creativity and skills.

This can be horror, humor, mystery, or any creative content related to Halloween. (If you don't have a DJI device yet, you are welcome to film with your mobile phone/camera and edit with Light Cut)
• Video Editing: Users can use any software they like to add effects, music, and editing to the video to make it more in line with the Halloween atmosphere.

Content Idea

When drones play the role of "Skyborne Sorcerer", various aerial photography techniques can be utilized to create mysterious, humorous, or thrilling effects for Halloween. Here are some recommended techniques:

Night Shooting:

Combine the atmosphere of Halloween with the night. Drones can be used to shoot at night for a mysterious vibe. Ensure you use drones with night vision capabilities and always prioritize safety.

"Ghost" Tracking:

Utilize the "Follow Me" mode to have the drone tail someone dressed as a ghost or another monster, capturing their movement from above.

Backlit Silhouettes:

Shoot during sunset or sunrise to capture silhouetted figures from behind, producing a spooky effect.

Spiral Ascension:

When shooting a scene or object on the ground, let the drone vertically ascend while rotating 360 degrees, creating a magical visual effect.

Time Lapse:

Use the time-lapse feature to capture the transition from sunset to nighttime, showcasing the Halloween evening atmosphere.

Bird's Eye View:

Capture Halloween decorations and jack-o-lanterns from above, giving the impression of a mysterious magical formation on the ground.

"Through the Gap" Flight:

Fly the drone through trees, buildings, or other obstacles for thrilling elements in your footage.

Slow Motion:

Capture key moments like smoke, flames, or dancing Halloween-costumed people, and then play it back in slow motion to enhance the mysterious or dramatic effect.

Mixing Real Footage with Special Effects:

In post-production, blend actual aerial shots with computer-generated effects (like magic, ghosts, etc.) for exaggerated and mysterious outcomes.

Storytelling:

Combine ground shots with aerial views to narrate a short Halloween-related story, like the search for a lost magical item or a ghost seeking revenge.

No matter which technique you choose, safety should always come first. Operators should ensure they fly in safe areas, avoid causing harm to people or objects, and always adhere to local flight regulations.

Very nice one.

Gold Award: Equivalent forum point of  $100
Silver Award: Equivalent forum point of  $75
Bronze Award: Equivalent forum point of  $50

embarrassing, and even more so for users who have been here for years.....

Faced with the fiasco of the last event, now they express the rewards in dollars.  

And the guys who take their time to analyze the flightlogs and provide precise answers, among other things, do you plan to do something for them one day?  

Because a story between horror humor and mistery, I have one, that's what's happening on this forum.

Well I don't hope to get any rewards with this comment but it was just a matter of throwing a little booger at DJI.  When will you decide to properly moderate the forum?

Very fun. Thinking about doing it

Man, i could use $100 for refresh.

I am tempted to participate, if the Pocket series is allowed instead of just drones. They do talk a lot about drones here, but mentioning the general term of "DJI device" does give some hope. Will have to come up with an idea for an entry. There could be a couple of things I could utilize

What are participation badges?  These were mentioned for the last event but I didnt receive one that I know of.

Haven't planned mine much yet, I've been quite busy with work and planning my friend's birthday celebrations took some time as well.

My entry for the competition: https://forum.dji.com/thread-303091-1-1.html

It is a bit late for Halloween, but the competition time has not expired yet, if I have understood correctly, so I guess it still counts, right?

The deadline for announcing the results has passed by and, once again, we haven't heard anything of the winners. When should we hear about the results, February?

Also, you really ought to do something about that spammer attempting to advertise their crypto scam.

Also, it says volumes about the "monitoring" of the threads when the promised reply is nowhere to be seen by the deadline, but there are multiple spam messages instead...
