    QUICKTAKE
    1. manual white balance
    2. lock exposure in
    3. expose darker (-.3, -.7 or -1) than default
    4. use ND filters ("sunglasses" for your lens)
    5. fly close to objects too
    6. get different angles/directions
    7. tell a story (close to medium to wide is a basic guide)
    8. go top-down! Only drones and helicopters can get this perspective
    9. create contrast with your light. Don't blast everything with light
    10. put the sun off to the SIDE
    11. shoot early in the morning or late in the day (golden hour is BEST)
    12. editing: bring midtones down and shadows UP for an easy cinematic grade
    13. no jerky footage
    14. stabilize in post
    15. copy other drone footage you like to watch

  • @kilobitti
    @kilobitti Před 2 lety +6

    Thank you, this was inspiring. Here I was, pondering that I should get a drone. Then I realized, that there’s so much more I can do with my cameras just by applying the close up to medium to wide into my shooting and editing process. And really, when I’ve got that working for me, maybe then it’s time to look at a drone for those really wide shots.

    I’ve never flown a drone before so I opted for the dji mavic mini to practice on something cheap but I’m looking forward to learning all about it with videos like this. I do have some experience with photography and camera settings but this is going to be new for sure. Good work.

    The Mini 2 is such a powerful drone for its size. The footage used in this video was from this adventure video czcams.com/video/7frFFflSS2o/video.html Cameras have become so good that now it comes down to finding cool stories to tell with them!

    • @DungarooTV
      @DungarooTV Před 3 lety

      Hi, I flew my Mini 2 again today and noticed that as I pan the the Drone from left to right (and vice versa) using the left stick the footage is a jaggy but panning side to side using the right stick is much more smoother - I noticed people avoid filming while turning the drone because of this - is this a common problem? I filmed in auto 4K 30 fps. Cheers,

    • @normsimpson2342
      @normsimpson2342 Před 3 lety

      I haven't even taken my mini 2 out of 1080p, 30fps, and playing back on my 80in., the Video looks great. This is way to much fun...

    • @scherlingproperties
      @scherlingproperties Před 2 lety

      Great video but was hoping frame rate would be mentioned. Can you elaborate here which frame rate you shoot at for a more cinematic look? With my dslr I find 24 fps gives a more cinematic aesthetic. But how about for the mini 2? Thanks!

    I’m sitting here watching this video (for the second time) and this time, I’m making notes.
    I gotta stop and say thank you. What an amazing collection of insights, lessons, suggestions and tips. You could have charged me for this, and I would have gladly paid you. Excellent work. I’m looking forward next to what you can teach me about Color Grading.
    If you have an online course, I’d like to sign up. It would be most helpful also to have a teacher who can review my work, make comments and suggestions.
    Thank you again!

      Hello mate. I wanted to ask you for these notes. It's awesome, that you do notes and do not just watch the video. It is an effective way to learn.
      Sadly, I do not have enough time and I would like you to publish them here, so that others, who don't have time are still able to use your notes

  • @raquilano
    @raquilano Před 3 lety +2

    Great video. As far as locking the AE to underxpose a bit, I fully agree. I've been a photographer for 40 years, and that was one of the tricks used, espcially with invertible film, to saturate colors and overall getting a better image. I've also noticed that on DSLR it works exactly the same, a little underxposure (1/3 to 1/2 f/stop below) gives the best results. Being digital, the same applies to drones. Well done !

    Amazing to see something so exotic as snow covered desert. Good tips also. I noticed that my worst beginners mistake is fluency in flight and ability to follow object (e.g initiating manual orbit and following moving object while controlling fly path). What I would like to have in post is ability to keep constant optical flow (to speed up video where drone slows down)
