Marsupials Take Flight
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2015 5:46 pm
Well, perhaps marsupials don't. But I have it on good authority, namely mine, that their drones do.
For those of you who see my comments on Facebook, you may have seen my comments. Few have seen my videos.
Exclusive to close friends and family, and those with whom I want to work, and now you, I present my raw, uncut, unedited work so far.

I am working now to improve my skill at both flying and getting the shots I want. For instance in a video I took tonight, I did a quick fly-by of a house, this one, or a later one like it, intended to show what a flyover of a house could look like for, say, a REALTOR(R).

In the first video, I start out filming in front of my house in my neighborhood, with my wife at the controls for the first flight, and ten she hands the controls over to me. That's right, this is your chance to see the Lady Wallaby.
After that, we head off to Titusville at 17:32, where I filmed the area from which we watched the SpaceX DSCOVR launch. I did not film the launch, I never do. NASA and SpaceX do a far better job than I ever could, and when your eyes are glued to a screen, you miss the launch.
Then, it's off to a hidden Mickey at 23:40, a grove of trees about seven miles north of my house. I had always wanted to see it and this was my chance. As I stated before, the video is uncut so don't expect it to look great yet. What you are seeing is practice runs that will probably never get used for anything. On the home and Titusville shoot, you'll see some wavy lines in the video, a negative effect called Jello. On the Hidden Mickey shoot I had a neutral density filter on the camera to fix that. For those of you who don't know, the Mickey is located here.
I intend to explore Florida and find the beautiful places, and film them in ways few have done before. Are you guys interested in seeing videos as I produce them? This will probably be the only time I post raw stuff, because most of it is unplanned footage that I can't really use for anything, it's just time getting to know the equipment. So the footage should only get better from here. Hopefully I will have some great stuff together soon.
