GordyCam

Gordy generously / foolishly volunteered to be a drone target yesterday, which revealed both my lack of flying skills and inability to smoothly edit a video...
It's hard trying to film someone riding a bike - you're concentrating so much on flying the drone that you forget about things like camera angles and lens flare. And other people..
You also end up with 15 minutes of footage, most of which is hovering and manoeuvrings, and need to cut that down to get to the 'action'. I was in a bit of a rush so didn't have time to figure out how to do smooth fades & cut shots so this is all pretty basic stuff without any stabilisation. But even simple video editing tools really hammer the laptop! I don't even want to think about adding a music track...

  2. So much scope to re-create the wedding drone incident :)
