The Ribble Estuary - My Inaugural Flight

[Paul]

My first attempt at drone flying...

So I dared the dreaded first flight, and uploaded my first video.

My editing skills are not up to much, nor is my drone flying!

Now that's not bad at all, for a first attempt.  I assume each change of shot is a new video stitched together in post processing?

Look up the principles of a storyboard when it comes to videography - I found it very useful to convey a story using images.

Other than that - well done!  I enjoyed watching the video.

They are all one video - and I removed sections to try and get some flow, and to remove jumps and awkward turns etc...

[Fogey]

Ah!  I see.

Well done Paul ... For a first attempt I am very impressed .... and how brave to do that  around so much open water .... I'd have been afraid of losing the drone in the drink! Is that you at 36 seconds in to the video with the controller ?. Congratulations on both the win and the  execution of the  video without it looking at all like a first time exercise ! Hope to see more  of these ! You could also chase wasps and bumble bees  for  some macro movies !...

Thanks Polly 

Yes, that's me in the video all wrapped up warm (it was pretty cold out there)...

Winning is rare so it is all the more special - especially with a quality prize.

And I doubt I'd keep up the bees and wasps, lol...

Paul.

Very nice first attempt Paul, nice music to go with the views too.

Thank you Dee. Some hate the music lol...
