How to COMPLETELY Transform Your Cinematic DRONE Footage 🔸NOT Settings & Drone ND Filters

CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT: tednemeth.podia.com
My Drone Cinematography MasterClass is FINISHED!
Hey Flying Camera Crew! Welcome to another playful beginner drone tutorial for more cinematic drone footage. The whole gist here is drone beginners are spending a disproportionate amount of time on drone nd filters and drone settings: a huge distraction from creativity & practicing cinematography, which are the only true path to cinematic drone footage.

[@pekerhed101]

I'm confused, Ted. As a beginner, I'm really gravitating towards your instructional videos compared to the other many channels, because I like your focus more on the artistic approach, rather than obsessing over the settings. BUUUUUT...in this video, you favored the ND64 filter as your go-to during mid-day flight....but 6 months ago, during one of your videos, you were all about the ND32. So what changed your mind between then and now?

[@paulcain548]

This was so informative Ted. Trying to learn drone cinematography on most YT channels has led to so much procrastination that creativeness gets suffocated. Always appreciate how you try to emphasise on cinematography/creativity to enable newbies like me to actually go out and film. Bravo, Sir 👏🏻👏🏻

[@TedNemeth]

Thank you Paul! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Yup it’s easy to get overly distracted by the hundreds of settings & accessories available in our hobby. It’s a pretty complicated hobby compared to a hobby like…..water color painting. Much less distractions/options.

[@velvetjones8634]

@@TedNemethWell, I certainly meant it! Feel free to ignore the following ramble: I have mixed emotions about drone-focused KZbinrs pushing products. My wife and I have a couple of 50’s cars and it’s extremely hard to find a body shop that will work on them because they have to get the work sent to them from insurance companies done first. If they don’t, the insurance companies will stop sending them business and that’s their proverbial bread and butter. Drone KZbinrs (most video/photography channels, in general) remind me of that. I certainly understand why they do it but that doesn’t make me hate it any less. I discovered your channel yesterday and after two videos, I subbed (and I’m fairly stingy with my subs!). Your approach is different and I love it. Ramble over - thanks again!

Yours is my favorite Drone Channel! Having your focus being the act of creation rather than emersion in technical minutiae makes perfect sense to me (now).

Hi Ted I mostly use auto while filming and manual for photo. When I had the Mini1 on sunny days my filter was the ND32. On cloudier days I try the ND16 or even ND8 before taking off and use the entire session. Now with the Mini3 Pro I start with the ND64 or ND64PL depending where I am flying. I tend to have my videos a little under exposed and correct on post.

Really enjoyed the video. One of my sayings is, battery anxiety kills creativity. I have no problem using a battery to find the shot then swapping and using another to get the shot. Taking your time is crucial and you touched on that wonderfully. Thanks for that.

[@jeremyscloset]

I have learned the same thing as you recently. After about 75 flights.......... I was worried about my 4k settings. When I'd come home and plug my SD card into my "smart tv" ...... I was ruined. Most of my footage was stuttering and choppy and some static. Guess what......? My TV is not 4k. Sonofabitch!!! So I've been taking vids in1080p. Until I realized my pc was what I should have been looking at my vids on.

Flying the location and seeing its layout on the 1st battery is ok. Then swap it out. No sense in getting the shot lined upto rush the shot. It wastes our time

For the last 80 years the smartest minds in the world can’t crack that mystery. I guess it’ll take a quantum computer to inform us?

awesome tutorial! thanks Do you use D Log or Normal when videoing?

[@TedNemeth]

hey Ken. I have the Mini 3 Pro which only has Normal & D-Cinelike. I NEVER use D-Cinelike. My testing showed (to me) there was little to no perceivable benefit to justify the effort of restoring the exposure & color. So i always use Normal color profile. But D-Log is a genuine Log profile. If I owned a drone that had D-Log I would still shoot in Normal color profile for most local flights (to save time in editing). But when I go to a special scene I would record in D-Log.

[@KenToney]

Hi Ted, been watching your channel here in the UK for a while now and i just love your simplistic aproach on this and the way you concentrate more on the creative side rather than getting bogged down with all those confusing settings and just waisting your valuable flying time. I was getting lost in a see of videos regarding ND filters and so confused as to what ones I should buy and use for for any given situation or weather conditions, that was untill I watched this one, I am now going order just the nd64 for video and an nd1000 for long exposure photos 👌 Keep up the good work my friend and thanks for keeping it reel 👊

[@TedNemeth]

Andy you wrote an incredible note here. I’m SUPER grateful you found value in my playful tutorials. When i was a beginner i listened to all the KZbin drone experts and ended up wasting time on all the wrong things. So i did a bunch of testing and found what worked for me. This channel is me sharing what worked for me. And I’m still learning and testing and sharing. It never ends. Thankfully! Welcome aboard Andy.

[@LisaFrostPhoto]

Fantastic video Ted, with some absolute gems! I particularly love the idea of thinking of myself as a landscape videographer. Its so odd, but as a landscape photograpger who started making videos, it has never occurred to me before to think of myself as a landscape videographer, yet that's such a perfect fit! And I think you're spot on that thinking of myself that way, and as a Storyteller too, will make a big shift in my work. I'm still fairly new to drone filming, but I immediately was more interested in learning what looked good and trying to practice aerial cinematography than the technical aspects. I spent one day letting my partner fly it, because I thought he'd do a better job than me (because hes a pilot 🤣) and as I watched him zooming it all over the place I realised that not only did the way he flew it cause me anxiety, but more importantly he would likely never film shots the way I'd like, because to him it was about flying, whereas to me it was about filming. We both decided he wouldnt fly it again 😄

[@robsvideos3040]

Just love you’re videos. You’re so right. Whenever I attempt to make a cinematic video I just go out and get content and think about composition, interesting smooth actions. It’s only for my own family and friends and really enjoy it. Problem with the uk is the weather is terrible😂
