Actually, AVD was acquired by White Cloud Drones & White Cloud Media Group in 2016. All aerial related shoots/footage are performed by us now. There will be a 2019 San Antonio Aerial Tour coming that will be a version of this (but with better camera and editing quality).

@@WhiteCloudMG Glad. Very glad to hear. I cannot wait.

Thanks! Atom van Doos is now with White Cloud Drones. This account probably won't be active with updated aerial footage, however, White Cloud Drones will be.

White Cloud Drones, LLC ok just subbed to white cloud.

Atom Van Doos was acquired by White Cloud Drones in late 2016. We can certainly assist in providing some aerial footage in your project. Feel free to email us at [email protected]

I used a basic ND filter to help cut out the ultra contrast and did a little post-processing.

What drone/camera are you using? Do you recall what your ISO & Shutter speed was set at?

Atom Van Doos I have a DJI Phantom 3 Standard. I haven't messed with the ISO yet.

Thanks, now that I'm working for White Cloud Drones, we are capturing more than ever. Hopefully we'll be able to publish more this year as San Antonio evolves into the 21st century.

Thanks for the kudos!

Thanks for the kudos. I recently opened a new business: White Cloud Drones (whiteclouddrones.com) and have transferred all rights of my footage there. Email me at [email protected] and we can coordinate what footage you need. Thanks!

Great idea. It's a great space for all that!

+regnur deej THANKS! First, register your drone with FAA. Second, get permission of the main subjects in which you'll be filming. The FAA has specific guidelines as to what you can or can't film. Always get permission...that'll keep you in good faith with the authorities and the people around you.

I don't mean to sound rude but your response doesn't really answer the question. You say get permission from the main subjects you'll be filming but your main subject is the city of San Antonio. So, do you mean that you have to get permission from the city? Are there permits involved? Fees? etc.?

Yes, get permission with the City of San Antonio and/or any major subjects of interest that may be concerning (i.e. Main Plaza / San Fernando Cathedral...go to mainplaza.org and call them to obtain permission to fly). Now that the FAA has officially imposed Part 107, you'll need to show proof that you've passed the test, paid your fee ($150) and TSA has cleared you to fly. I have not come across anyone who has charged/fee'd me to fly and capture their property from the air. But then again, I haven't flown downtown in a while, so things may have changed.

Thank you for your response. It really is very helpful.

Oh, and great footage btw.

+Hacking The System Thanks for the kudos. I shoot with the DJI Inspire.

+Ray Suarez Thanks. I shoot with a DJI Inspire 1.

+joseph g. trevino jr. I appreciate the kind words. More is coming soon. Happy New Year!

+Aj Ortiz I'd love to explain, however I have no allegiance to either Central Catholic or Holy Cross. I was merely the media creative that worked on this video and their gala. You'll have to take it up with those currently enrolled or their alumni to issue any future challenges.

+Atom Van Doos Sorry about that I heard Central Catholic was gonna play against us again, and I would be a junior when we play them.

+Aj Ortiz Best of luck. Love the healthy rivalry!

+Atom Van Doos Thanks again hope to see you at any future Knight vs Buttons football games

I had to get clearance with local PD. It was in the early morning of Labor Day Monday; no one around, no businesses open... Everyone thought it was safe for me (at the time) to film that high. Now, with the crackdown from the FAA, local PD and other authorities may not be as willing to grant access. Thankfully, I'm in good graces with them as I've demonstrated safety first precautions before I fly as well as a heads up on the communication bit.

Are they making a big deal about flying around town? I planned on shooting early mornings and the missions

I was to understand that no one but the FAA can approve above 400. Local PD, city, etc can restrict flying in areas. I spoke to one of the task force guys in Dallas.

+Nick Tsakiris if you shoot on a day where businesses aren't open and people aren't abundantly present, there shouldn't be a big deal. But I'd still give them (PD and mission authorities) a heads up that you'll be doing some aerial videography at X time on X date. it'll help alleviate any confusion from and officers that aren't aware of what our rights are and aren't. Also, if you have your drone marked with the FAA registration number and your FAA license with you, that should help legitimize your intentions. Safety first!

Cool. Still flying under hobbyist. I'm registering my N-number as I have until Feb to do it. I've just submitted my 333 exemption. I always fly when crowds are down. Never risk anyone's safety. Thanks for the reply! Hope you have a great New Years!

+Texas Dave I did. I actually took a ton. I'm currently working on an "aerial" photo gallery accompanied with some of my best "aerial video clips" to be displayed and sold. Check out my Facebook page (facebook.com/atomvandoos) or Instagram @atomvandoos for photos. Thanks for the kudos. Looking forward in seeing more of your aerial work as well.

+Texas Dave Thanks for the kudos. I recently did a couple of downtown short b-rolls with the Inspire. Your footage looks great as well. Love the new drones' abilities. Looking forward to seeing more by all.
