Des Moines, Iowa | 4K drone footage

[@myfirstnamemylastname5781]

I grew up and live in des moines and graduated at Roosevelt high school. I'm currently live in Washington state now...looking back of how much things has changed. ❤

[@chrisbiela]

I can't compare but I liked what I saw.

[@burakbilecen9841]

I'm gonna live in Des Moines for 3 months this summer. It was so great to have a visual trip. I'm sooooo excited

[@chrisbiela]

Thanks. I'm glad I could help

[@Mob-q1o]

It’s been 2 years but how was the trip

[@burakbilecen9841]

​@@Mob-q1o well it was average I guess but you know it's a small city I mean we don't call the areas where only 200k people live as "city" lol

[@Mob-q1o]

@@burakbilecen9841 glad u enjoyed it I actually lived in Iowa Des Moines but we went to Wisconsin cuz that place is expensive

[@MicoGhostTheOldCodger]

This is a very beautifully made video. The flying and editing are outstanding, my friend. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video with us.

[@chrisbiela]

Thanks man. Really appreciate it. To bad it wasn't sunny that day,

[@awsomemodels]

@@chrisbiela I think the clouds are beautiful because they make everything look more dramatic .

[@chrisbiela]

Hi, I´m from Mexico and I´m thinking about moving to Des Moines in the future (I´m still at university). Can you tell me some pros and cons about living there?

[@vecust]

For someone who lives on the other side of the World. I know about Des Moines, Iowa thanks to Slipknot. They really put that city on the map. Kudos to them

[@chrisbiela]

It really is a nice city. Friendly people. I liked it. Thanks

[@tylerschmidt1250]

Agreed brother! I have never heard of it until I found out where Slipknot was, so then I visited Des Moines and it is now my home! 😁

[@succesful01]

For someone who lives in The U.S., Des Moines Iowa is a shit hole. LOL

[@angeloacosta9411]

I lived in Des Moines from 2002 till 2015... it was a great city ! With great people ! I do miss living there.

[@chrisbiela]

I'm glad I could help. Thanks

[@jessicawatkins4995]

Does it snow alot there? I might be moving there soon.

Des Moines Iowa USA is a very beautiful ❤️ state. It has a great farming production business hub. It also has the lowest cost of living and low unemployment rate. I would love to visit Des Moines Iowa USA someday. Great background music. Great video 👍👍👌👏.

Every time I see footage of Des Moines it looks so cool but the streets are always completely empty . Where are the cars? Where are all the people???!!

[@chrisbiela]

My footage was recorded during the pandemic, so streets are obviously empty. The next vid will be different. I hope:)

[@isenbergerphoto]

Nicely done!

[@chrisbiela]

Thank you

[@ritchierangel1901]

Slipknot. RIP JOEY AND PAUL 🙏

[@chrisbiela]

[@enzoferrari88]

So does Des Moines have a night life like a street with multiple bars and restaurants side by side? Also, are their near by areas to ride a boat and jet ski?

[@chrisbiela]

Hmm. Good questions. Maybe some locals can answer it. Thanks.

[@Evanwilliams27]

Des Moines has a pretty good nightlife. Several districts to have fun like Court Avenue and the East Village. There are many water sources in the region, Saylorvile Lake to the 30 mins to the north and Lake Red Rock about an hour southeast. Raccoon River Park is a nice urban oasis.

[@johngearheart6173]

Court Avenue and the East Village Area which are near to each other are areas like this. Then there is Ingersole Avenue which extends from thee west edge of downtown further west is another bar crawl street, but it's not really downtown and walkable like the other two.

[@maggory8]

Ah yes the city that borned Slipknot

[@chrisbiela]

Yes.😊

[@omalicuchin09]

My home 👍👍 your video looks amazing what settings did u use on ur drone?

[@chrisbiela]

Thanks. I think this was 1/160 shutter f/11, iso 100.

[@markfinn4811]

This city’s population is only double my cities and has 4 times the infrastructure. Beautiful

[@chrisbiela]

Thank you very much

[@Yoursistersazz]

Des Moines is barely a city not even 250,000 people

[@heatherarmstrong6862]

I love Des Moines it’s a beautiful city in about the size of a Chicago suburb to me Des Moines feels like a suburb not a city so it’s just right

[@chrisbiela]

Well. It has it's climate. I liked it

[@JoshuaTraffanstedt]

Im about 3 hours from here, working in kansas city. Im thinking about driving to iowa just because over the weekend 😂

[@chrisbiela]

Go for it then. 3 hour drive is nothing.

[@rico.productions]

what is up with the vacant streets?? It looks like a ghost town

[@chrisbiela]

Pandemic times. All cities were like that.

[@heatherarmstrong6862]

I agree with you you forget the Des Moines is urban not suburban it feels more like suburban area the then a City

[@heatherarmstrong6862]

It seems more like a Naperville Illinois Or Schaumburg which both of those suburbs of Chicago

[@chrisbiela]

@@heatherarmstrong6862 Naperville and Schaumburg are big suburban cities but not as big as Des Moines. In my opinion of course.

why the town is quiet, few people on the street, few traffic, not busy, less business

Recorded in the pandemic. Most of the public places were closed. Businesses limited.
