Hi everybody, I've already post this video, but this is a new version with original score exclusively created by Emiliano Branda, Maestro and Composer for RAI, Italian Broadcasting Network. I'm very honored and I would like to share it to have comments and advices. Thanks for watching (again).

Loved it, that was awesome and thanks for sharing...

It is actually a Malamute.

I love malamutes! When it gets down to -16C like it is today they seem super happy.

Your shots are in a pretty damn beautiful environment. In the beginning the numerous similar sequences of aerial shots moving straight forward become a bit repetitive; a rule of thumb for cinematography is not to have a number of similar camera movement shots stacked on top of each other. It starts changing up a bit more in with and over the shoulder fly-bys and simulated crane movements as well as a couple spirals tossed in, but you should definitely mix it up a bit more.

That said, you should also anchor the movements by cutting in much more close up shots. Always having wide angle aerials and wide angle ground level movements gets very tiring to watch; at a certain point, you want to know what the people in the shots are doing. Facial expressions are just as important as beautiful vistas if you want to bring in a human element (or in this case, a human and dog element). For that, you need a tripod and another camera; a quadcopter mounted camera isn't going to get all the shots you need for a balanced piece.

Typically you're going to want something for close ups and 3/4 shots, something that can move (like a dolly, crane, or stabilized camera), and finally a quadcopter to get those beautiful wide angle moving shots.
The color grading is pretty good, and some of those shots looked like they were shot in some difficult to grade circumstances (very cloudy, little sun, flat light). Some scenes could've used a tiny bit more saturation, but again that's difficult in some of the light you had to work with. Also good job with not executing any obviously robotic camera moves, either from the gimbal (the first shot with the tilt up was well controlled and didn't look like a security camera moving around) or the quad.

Great video!

Thank you

Loved the video

Awesome video!

Very well done! Nice work!

Mauro,

Beautiful!  I really liked the way you included yourself without getting the preoccupied "I'm staring frantically at my controller" look that I always seem to have when I'm shooting.

Question:  Over on another thread, some of us are trying to figure out why our image quality goes to crap when the temperature gets cold.  Mine is almost okay at 25 C, but gets poor at 0C and really bad by -10C.  Since DJI recommends flying between 0-30C, I'm wondering whether:  (1) my camera lens is bad, or (2) every P3 camera just gets bad below 0C.  So...

...how low was the temperature when you were shooting this, and did you see any noticeable degradation in image quality?  Your footage looks pretty sharp to me, but I'm only seeing it at YouTube quality.

Great video! What did you use for color correcting? The colors are amazing!

and how many batteries did you have with you? looks like finding a re-charge would difficult lol, where is this?

Thank you, QBK, I was 'staring frantically at my controller' but snow gear help me hide it
Temperature was -4C. I never experieced problems like that, images are always pretty good and the same that I shot in a warm enviroinment. This week end I will flight in -7C, I will check with more attention for this issue

I've used Premiere for editing and grading.  Last version have a simple but powerful GUI for grading, exactly like Lightroom or Cameraraw. I've three batteries (but my house is just a 20km away from this place ) The place is Campo Imperatore, L'Aquila, Italy. Thank you for watching and comment!

Thanks Really appreciated

Thanks a lot, Tim.

I already had seen it on SkyPixel yesterday but had to do it again.

Amazing!

Cheers.

It is a Husky or a Malamut and not a woolf that is for sure. I know both.

I love it. Wolfie FTW!

Great video!! I wanna go to Italy so bad!!!

Ciao Mauro. Bellissimo video, come sempre. Un abbraccio.

Wow what an inspiration

LOVE LOVE Love the video. Did you use orbit, follow me or waypoins for the shoots?  Did you use a 3rd party app or DJI GO?

Complimenti Mauro ! Veramente bello sia il video che la musica! Simpatica anche la pisciatina del cane alla fine!

Great video. I love the ending shot.

Good work! Even caught the dog stopping for a potty break at the end!

Amazing Bro!
