DRONE BOYS! (Vlog)

[@fauwrn]

Shouldn't Trout be using the fish eye camera?

[@fauwrn]

my bad sandman

[@fauwrn]

***** kk

[@rabbitgaming4659]

+SandMan Hahahaha xD

[@nakenmil]

In a way he IS the fish eye camera.

[@fatgeorge2069]

trott should use the fishypinkeye camera tbh

[@em_birch]

My god that place is pretty and serene looking.

[@MasonBryant]

Its full of meth addicts in reality unfortunately

[@em_birch]

Mason Bryant I kind of giggled just now imagining a magical forest filled with meth heads. Still, bad humans don't take away from the natural beauty of the place and of the lovely sky.

[@toffeesky6227]

It's in England, so no, it's not. Probably a chav with a glass shank just out of shot.

[@MasonBryant]

Emmy Nyan haha I was only joking, it's nice there however its a whole different place when the balloon fiesta is on. It uses Ashton park. It's very close to my work.

[@LANSl0t]

Can't tell if Hat Films harms or helps with this

[@FunLovingPotato]

This is amazing. One day, drones will replace those cranes and rails they used for moving shots in movies. Wow.

[@HuwWeaver]

They already have in some areas

[@Particelomen]

Well the good things about cranes and rails is that they do not cause turbulence, so they won't probably be totally replaced...But you gotta love drones though!

[@ThunderAndGuillon]

They already have been replaced in many recent movies...

[@OnThe23rd]

They already are.

[@Khronogi]

RIP helicopter pilots :(

[@KyeBakerMusic]

I'll be looking forward to some cool edits you guys do with the drone in the future !

[@Ethan_and_Astra]

"Woman cycles past" Trott: Literally feel like a guy about to drop a bomb on someone ...

[@elioneill6878]

It always amazes me how great these lads are at editing. It's just so perfect YES

[@hellazy]

This is so smoothly done guys. Also Smiffy falling over made my day

[@ubhl9610]

Amazing. Love how Trott gets stuck in the back. Some awesome shots of Bristol

[@harrymoxey9108]

boys sorry to say but the CAA (civil aviation authority) drone limit is 400 feet which is 122 meters, 500 meters however is 1640.42 feet you could have hit a light aircraft

[@Kazekage248]

This was an amazing vlog, and I enjoyed the seeing through the drone's perspective (that location was very nice and serene by the way).

[@awesomeaartvark]

Woah, those are some nice shots! And I wasn't expecting the floating words, that looks so cool!

[@Sgt.Shadowsong]

Quick tip from node or the Sam n nico channel... Rather lift it off from the handles than from the ground due to debris flying into the propelers... at 30% battery or maybe even 40-50 time for recharge else your drone will end up being destroyed or get damaged... Also be aware of your surroundings, don't rely on the feed as it has a playback of 1-2 seconds? That was all, hope you enjoy lads =)

[@Sgt.Shadowsong]

Also when landing grab onto the handles instead as well! =)

[@littlehouseontheprepostero8457]

[@nikeeweston]

Smithy has many drones he knows how to fly them, he's been flying them for ages.

[@Sgt.Shadowsong]

+nikeeweston don't take my reply as something mean but are you just assuming or do you know if so how? secondly a tip nonetheless is not bad you know x)

[@Joidal]

Love Sam and Niko

[@wofgal1993]

Seriously, all it takes is a good David Attenborough impersonation to get me smiling from ear to ear - it truly is one of my more favorite things, animal style documentary parodies

[@CJDavies]

The antennas aren't supposed to point toward the drone btw - they transmit/receive from the sides rather from out the tip, so unless the drone is directly above you the antennas should be perpendicular to the ground, not parallel with the ground :)

[@mintyglitches]

i went to egx last year and it was so great, really sad i cant go this year round

[@Batman-ue4vo]

I have one of those, but it's a lot bigger and a plane. I also have a tank-car, helicopter, mansion and a butler that helps me fight crime.

[@126adamski]

Nice land rover discovery

[@CaramelCrispies]

everyone talking bout drones n all I care about is the landrover ;) u go pal

[@CaramelCrispies]

literally scrolled through pages of comments to find someone mentioning the disco!

[@126adamski]

+Finlay MacNeill yeah I recognised the shape of the window from inside filming Trott XD

[@CaramelCrispies]

how sad we are :'D

[@cen7469]

Ross manages to get some b-roll without Smith interrupting, and Smith did a cartwheel?!

[@liquidsoap89]

I'm really excited to see what drones could do for the movie industry in the next few years.

[@liquidsoap89]

+Harris Walter are you kidding? Drones could get in to places, or most likely manoeuvre in ways helicopters could only dream of. We could start to see some of those big sweeping shots that are entirely CG done with drones and practical effects again!

[@CuriousMoth]

Much cheaper than helicoptors, more manoeuvrable, more accessible on a low budget.

[@harrison9861]

+liquidsoap89 drones have beenaround for a few years and already been used in the film industry a lot....

[@Crimsonpattyletsplay]

they have been used for rather a few years now mate.

[@liquidsoap89]

Crimsonpatty Yea I'm just learning this now somehow. In that case, I'm excited to see new innovations made in filming with drones!

[@TheOdd]

And here we see the majestic drone in its natural habitat, if you listen carefully you can hear it's mating call *BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*

[@Staringale]

I remember when Smith made a video of a drone recording on his main channel a while ago.

[@NicholasRiviera]

You're saying this as if this was his secondary channel.

[@Staringale]

NicholasRiviera Eh, in a way it is. (even though his own channel is pretty much abandoned now)

[@petermarsh4578]

What was his channel called?

[@brittoni1994]

his channel also has a delightful video of ross taking out their bins back in 2013 :P

[@Staringale]

+Peter Marsh (breadloaf64) It was just called Alex Smith

[@matthewjones9638]

The EGX segment was really well done, I really liked it

[@matthewjones9638]

Loved the EGX ad, extremely well done. Also, I live in the Northeast USSSSSSSSSS. I can't go FeelsBadMan

[@Smabbles12]

lol now im just remembering the drone shenanigans on the main channel XD love the vid~

[@psykit]

Come to Exeter and I'll be at Hat Chat live.

[@patrickthom1748]

Content was awesome, really liked a lot of those shots :)

[@XenonSlayer]

11:57 Man, look at that horizon. It's so FLAT!

[@ebrach121]

If I lived in the UK I would go to SO many of these events. Sadly I'm stuck in the U.S :/

[@insert_a_good_name_here4585]

That's not a vlog, it's a cinematic masterpiece

[@mackenzieirvine8722]

love for ashton court best mountain biking in bristol

[@lin90210]

that lovely cartwheel near the end reminds me to go watch Olympics gymnastics XD

[@scafell6414]

the only asmr I will listen to

[@MrFloodey]

Loving that Rover.

[@supersnipe2000]

Plz do more of theses their amazing

[@Chyrnobyl66]

did ross shoot trott with a rubber band at 7:00 ? or was a big ass bug?

[@bingo5387]

I am pretty sure it was a bug, and that isn't that big, probably a grasshopper or a moth or something.

[@Chyrnobyl66]

i dunno, it made noise lol

[@avianroyalty1158]

That noise was the beat in the music I think XD

[@KDartMedia]

Uhg drone shots are so amazing

[@SilentFaces]

Great shots guys

[@SnippyJupiter]

"you can hear that faint drone. blrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" dead

[@i3Fable]

Incredible how stable the footage was during the car crash; that is one good gimbal!

[@TCole2994]

wait trott isnt wearing a shirt thats tucked in? wow

[@tomleonard5801]

Well, I thought Ross was re-enacting Gladiator, good job filming guys xD Wonder what day you filmed I was up there last weekend.

[@beth_mars]

Really awesome vlog guys! :) Won't be at EGX cos I have to work but I hope you have fun :) Would love to see more vloggy type vids tbh if you have time/content for them x

[@bitspacemusic]

Three geniuses at work.

[@Zappygunshot]

Wuohh oi fokkin' lavd dis wan! I'd really enjoy seeing more drone excursion videos with you boiiiis, I think they're really interesting.

[@geoff4906]

one of my favourite vids I think

[@ctulhuone]

trott's hair colour looks really pretty

[@MadlySevered]

your doing it right hat films, the small guy carries the heavy backpack xD haha

[@MikornellTV]

So many new toys :P Drone, fish eye, steadycam type thing, aren't you boys lucky!

[@flimpeenflarmpoon1353]

Fish eye looks wank though, mate.

[@Broken-Flesh]

+Flimpeen Flarmpoon its kinda meh...😕

[@SolstaceWinters]

I think I'd love to see more Drone hi-jinks.

[@missdeadite9696]

I think the drones would be really handy for those indy films that want to get those crane shots but on a budget. I mean it looked pretty good.

[@bilbobuxton]

White magnum is the optimum choice there smith, good job.

[@amyb6627]

Love Hatfilms' vlogs

[@optiminimalcharlie3482]

why is there channel barely growing. Their hilarous and I don't understand why they aren't.

[@HexAyed]

Does Smith have a Land Rover Freelander? looks like it

[@vampireslayer263]

Discovery

[@dahill87ify]

have you guys borrowed Vanguard 1 from the broken brilliance of Matt Hardy.

[@Maedelrosen]

damn that thing can get higher than me listening to electric wizard

[@JessmanChicken86]

this made me feel like the fourth wheel of Hat Films :)

[@Nila9579]

Its 400m is the US/Canada not sure about UK

[@marcusamanda8164]

Love this!

[@winnetu9142]

_must. go. to EGX. Must. buy. tickets_

[@euan3478]

that a disco 4 Smith you cheeky bugger?

[@roykelly3809]

What's with the fish eye lens? (1:20)

[@pingu1552]

Omg you got David Attenborough as the guest commentator!

[@overtmayhem4321]

when did smith by a landrover?

[@MeKeLe22]

Phantom 4's are amazing D: I would kill to own one.

[@CuriousMoth]

You could just get a job, mate :P

[@MeKeLe22]

I have one m8 ;)

[@CuriousMoth]

Mekele Then spend all your money on drones m8!

[@Hawkman756]

07:01 is that a bug or what? the thing that flies into trotts arm

[@FalloutManGaming]

One time, I climbed a volcano in Indonesia and at the top was this guy flying his drone around. It was pretty cool and this was not a small volcano.

[@billyjenkins6977]

Into reminds me of the music video for reapers by muse

[@Supexir]

That intro was beautiful

[@deadangel363]

i cant go as its my birthday XD it really sucks, will you have all the footage from egx though?

[@CountryMusicMann]

0:40 That's pretty flat, and even that's far more varied terrain than the Great Plains.

[@robertbiggs4468]

Whenever i see drones and hear non copyrighted music i just think of Casey xD

[@harryweir4662]

I have walked on that same path many times

[@JamesRobertBremner]

Brilliant

[@jonnycliffe2548]

With the tracking text bit, did you use the luminescence difference to cut out the trees? Or did you rotoscope it?

[@phils920]

There is no Friday the 23rd of August this year....the 20th?

[@MaccyLing]

Love it boys

[@Mrviccietor]

12:00 anyone knows the music?

[@vanilla-vortexakavanvorott8795]

What kind of drone are they using if anyone knows

[@crazyrottenbones]

this is one quality video

[@Flummiification]

hopefully these shows pay well or are live actually much more interesting than they seem according to the videos on youtube

[@KatjaE13]

One day I'll come to one of these events

[@magerr98]

theres something about 0:54 when ross says "its so good" that really reminds me of ME!ME!ME! and its a little scary...

[@JackWBaker]

Smith is that your disco? Much love for the landy

[@choateoarsman]

He strikes me as an RRC kind of chap, but I suspect he's actually more Audi A6. The Disco sort of makes sense in that context.

[@Aghinari]

im dying, these are so good!

[@guardiansunite5013]

The mic muffler thing is nicknamed a "dead cat", pretty amusing seeing the term used on set.

[@TehPompkinHead]

Hey I love you folks. You're good people and your fellowship has always inspired me and helped me in my life. So I want you guys to have the truth, cosmic disclosure, LOC, Corey Goode, William Tompkins. Things worth googling and good info. Don't mind the Gaia thing though

[@Chaotic_Monk43]

I think of this as the Apocalypse Now of Hat Films. The film is amazing, but the "Making Of" is far more interesting

[@PJDuffield]

nice disco smiffy is it a 3 or a 4?

[@papajohn6831]

Trott with the firefly refrences

[@britfox9571]

Is this some kind of sleeper agent training video for the EGX army?

[@jakeb4148]

The camera is so pleasing

[@lunahula]

Damnit where's Trott's baby seat in the back of that car, you know it's illegal to have an unsecured Chris Trott in your vehicle!

[@ryannaismith5210]

Is this at Ashton court

[@MrBeanfro]

What shirt is Trott wearing.

[@shamrock034]

so weird seeing Ashton from this angle lol, good vid boys maybe do a tour of the gross side of bristol to promote your next convention lol

[@Therealpotatoe]

I feel like I should buy some tickets for some reason

[@ShawnBarbeeiDestroya]

hat films on stick shift "you do it right. do it manual"

[@foamsword1]

How did they get into the windows xp desktop background xD

[@lachlanmarshall1136]

Nice discovery 3 alsmiffy
