Drone Cinematic | Chin Swee Temple, Genting Highlands, Malaysia [Mavic Air 2]

A week after returning to Singapore from my Bangkok trip, my family had already planned to go up to Genting Highlands since we have not gone up there since the Covid-19 pandemic. We used to go up there every year, given that we were often provided free rooms by @resortsworldgenting due to our Genting membership.
My stay at the mountain-top resort was pretty long, and I found myself wanting to explore more outside of the hotel, theme park, casino and mall environments. I always need a breath of nature. So one day, my friends and I decided to visit Chin Swee Temple, accessible via a 10-minutes cable car ride down the peak of the mountain where we stayed. I was amazed by the breathtaking views the location gifted us.
Exhausting all three of my drone batteries and excitedly flying through clouds, I managed to capture an hour of banger footage. It was hard to choose what shots would go into making this cinematic given how fascinating every shot was. I was tempted to just put almost every usable shot in this video, making it 10 minutes long. That would probably fly as a mood piece on KZbin where long-form content are more popular, but viewers on Instagram will likely just get bored. Not to mention, the Instagram algorithm would kill a video that long since the platform is focusing more on fast-cut reels.
I went for a different feel this time, with heavier emotional undertones and a more underexposed, faded high contrast cinematic grading with muted colours to evoke a moody oriental sensation fitting the location.
Aerial shots captured using DJI Mavic Air 2, in 4K 30FPS D-Cinelike Picture Profile. Edited and coloured in Premiere Pro.

To fly a drone in Malaysia, do you need a permit, bro?

[@_leonexus]

By right, always yes. But for recreation, I think no one really enforces the rule in Malaysia. Passerby, temple staff who saw me flying did not object to it. Chin Swee Temple is quite popular for recreational drone flying. But be safe as there's cable car near by.
