Above Portland - Flying over the Willamette River - DJI Inspire 1 - 4K UHD

Filmed while in Portland for a few days with my DJI Inspire 1. With so many boats and beautiful bridges, I could hardly contain myself once I get in the air and started looking around. Portland is a beautiful city from above, especially the Willamette River area.

unreal this video..thank you..

[@gofast4127]

Nice job , looks professionally done

[@stillsandvideo]

Phillip, wonderful video. You definitely have a great eye for aesthetics and your shot list is most impressive. I purchased an Inspire 1 in February but had a mishap after a software update (just days before the new release). It's in DJI's CA depot for service and I can't wait to get it back after being inspired by your work. Just curious as to after flying the P3, would you still choose an Inspire 1 as your bird of choice? Again, thanks for sharing your wonderful work.

Love the aerials - especially the fly-through of Tilikum Crossing Bridge towers followed by the double perpendicular (down and across) shot of the roadbed of the bridge with the small dragon boat emerging below! Have searched PremiumBeat for the music, but can't find it. What's the performer name or title of the piece of music? Perfect match to your editing.

[@SNYEFILMS]

Wow! That's amazing!

[@laselvasurf]

PyroDrone Thanks!

[@JarrodAllen]

so good Philip! shared!

[@laselvasurf]

***** Thanks!

[@ry92ukwj]

I am currently working on a full-scale documentary about Portland and swimming. Could I please use this footage in it? I can credit you and can put a link to your site in the final film. Were is the best place to contact you about it? Thanks!

[@markus000000001]

great video! what were your post processing steps, did you just import the inspire video file into FCPX ?

[@laselvasurf]

Thank you! I brought the footage strait into fcpx and did all the editing and color correction in there.

[@lelandryea933]

Philip, I must say this video is extraordinary. The ambient music is a perfect choice. I am going to do my best to emulate your style with my Inspire because its stunning. Great work sir!

[@laselvasurf]

Leland Ryea Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Happy flying!

[@EASkateTV]

Amazing.

[@laselvasurf]

EASkateTV Thanks!

[@EASkateTV]

Philip Lima Hey Philip, I have an Inspire 1 with a Trax GPS any tips? Are you ever nervous flying at high altitudes?

[@laselvasurf]

EASkateTV It's all flight time, I have over 50 hours on my inspire alone so I'm fairly confident in it.

[@KurtvanHooff]

Impressive footage Philip! Do you fly and direct the cam at the same time?

[@laselvasurf]

+Kurt van Hooff Thank you! This was all shot single operator, no second camera person.

[@OXSEnterprises]

Feeling inspired after watching this ;)

[@laselvasurf]

OXS Enterprises Awesome!

[@joosboxproductionsinc.9778]

Very impressive! Could you share your log camera settings? Sharpness, contrast, etc? This is the best inspire footage I've seen yet!

[@laselvasurf]

Joosbox Productions Inc. Thank you! Camera settings were all factory stock. Shot at 4K, 24P, LOG, WB set at 7K, everything else was factory default or auto. I did ride the EV compensation a bit and usually shoot with down just a little as most of the time it tends to overexpose a tiny bit.

[@greenbottles]

Fantastic

[@ShiftKoncepts]

were you flying line of sight or just looking at the monitor? these are amazing.

[@laselvasurf]

EvoXstuff A combination of both, I had a spotter for most of it so I could confidently look at the monitor and my spotter would tell me if I was getting too close to something or headed in a direction I shouldn't be.

[@SuperPete276]

very clean

[@rentrep]

Awesome !!!

[@HectorVilorio]

Awesome video Philip!! Can you point me in the right direction on where to get music for videos that is royalty free or paid like the one in this video? Thanks in advance!

[@laselvasurf]

Hector Vilorio Thank you! I use a few different places for music. For this piece I used a song from Premiumbeat.com. It's not too expensive and they have some great tunes on there. I've also used freeplaymusic.com, though their library is not quite as high quality(but it's free!).

[@HectorVilorio]

Philip Lima Thanks!!

[@ahmed4u70]

Great shot

[@chubskj]

Incredible video. What program did you use to edit the footage?

[@laselvasurf]

KJ Thank you! I used Final Cut Pro X to edit and color correct this video.

[@chubskj]

Thanks!

[@hfbi]

Thx dear , About in 0:04 Second To 0:05 Second Seam Program used ?

[@marioberetta2303]

video e musica al top..ciao

[@marioberetta2303]

bello bello sia video che la musica e il top secondo meee🙋

[@pblima2847]

Very Nice!! :-))

[@jamestexas66]

Did You fly in GPS or attitude mode?

[@laselvasurf]

James Rule I used both in this video. There was 12-15MPH winds, so using GPS to setup some of the shots was key. However, being able to get a little extra speed in ATTI mode was necessary to keep up with the boats.

[@hfbi]

Very Nice ❤️ What's Video Editer Program Name?!

[@laselvasurf]

Hamood Fbi Thank you! I used Final Cut Pro X to edit and color correct this.

[@jamestexas66]

Impressive!!!! I have a Phantom 2 with gimbal and are looking at selling and picking up an Inspire. Thanks for the awesome footage. My Wife is from that area. We live in Texas.

[@laselvasurf]

James Rule I'd recommend it! The Inspire is on another level in so many ways.

[@tyraelasd]

Incredible, can I have the name of the song please? So pumped for my phantom 3 to arrive and to create shots like these :-)

[@laselvasurf]

ReviusCL Thank you! The song is called Reverence.

[@tyraelasd]

Philip Lima thanks but that didn't help me to much. Can't find it on KZbin, what's the artist called? Appreciate it.

[@laselvasurf]

My apologies, it's from a stock music site: premiumbeat.com

[@dronefrontier6158]

Well done! I'm guessing you had a camera operator?

[@laselvasurf]

Drone Frontier Thanks! This was actually all shot single operator with me flying/operating camera.

[@dronefrontier6158]

Oh, very nice. I'm not nearly as smooth without my camera operator.

[@teamnanopirate2]

goodjob !

[@zeus9931]

nice Clip

[@laselvasurf]

[@michaelkerkering7047]

[@andreapack4561]

Hi Philip! Thank you for sharing! I am designing a website for a Portland Real Estate Broker client and would love to embed this video on their homepage. You will get extra views and likes!!! Let me know if you are okay with that- if not, I totally understand!

[@laselvasurf]

Hi Andrea, thanks for the comment! Feel free to embed the video on the website, thanks for for asking! What's the site?

[@andreapack4561]

It is going to be pdxrealtor.com We will definitely give you video credit! It hasn't launched yet, but it will be soon! I will keep you posted! Do you do drone videos in Seattle by chance? I am the Marketing director for a real estate company and we would love to hire you if you can travel up this way?
