Hello guys
This is Cyrus from Singapore. How are you all doing?
I just have a question about doing aerial filming. As I am more inclined to doing still images, aerial video as of now is still something quite new to me.
Prior to getting my Inspire 1, I have a Hubsan quadcopter which I use to practice indoors.
My questions regarding aerial filming are as follows:
Besides familiarizing with controls to pilot the i1, how do you plan on shooting, ie landscape / architecture? Do you sketch out how you intend to do it prior to flying? I was just at a park to do some practice and stuck to the “keep your drone in sight at all times” rule. Brought a little notebook to scribble but I guess I didn’t have a chance as I was engrossed in manoeuvring and filming. It was a park with clusters of people around so I had to take extra precautions not to hurt anyone.
I did the following at this flight attempt:
“flyaway shot” – 45 degrees away from myself starting at the nearest position to far out.
“side dolly shot” – Panned it sideways slowly of a small bridge.
“ascending shot” - Flew it over a small stream, towards a larger bridge.
There were a few shots like a top down rotating, chase and bounce off, that I wanted to try but I think I still need more familiarization with the i1.
Care to share some tips guys?
