[@Sub-km4nk]

The music, the vibe, all is perfect

[@chrisbiela]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it.

[@fredrickwilliams6046]

The music fits so perfectly with this.

[@chrisbiela]

Thank you very much.

[@admidwest]

Nice drone footage of the city!

[@chrisbiela]

It is a nice city. Thanks.

[@vic-dc1ny]

Amazing video, beautiful city.

[@chrisbiela]

Thank you very much. I liked the architecture. Interesting metropolis.

[@farhanomar4563]

I love this state Minneapolis ❤

[@chrisbiela]

Thank you

[@FoxFlightDroneVideo]

This was a great one, Chris. Can't put my finger on it, but something about it jumped out and felt... solid but soft. Amazing work as always.

[@chrisbiela]

Thanks for getting up for the premiere. Really appreciate it 🙏.

[@FoxFlightDroneVideo]

@@chrisbiela Well... admittedly, I get up because of the dogs. And not because they want to see your video. I'm trying to get them on board, but it is a slow training process.

[@chrisbiela]

@@FoxFlightDroneVideo :) haha. Keep trying

[@accyocam291]

Nice video. One of my favorite cities. Spent 20 years up there. Only if you had done St. Paul as well while you were up there? LOL. Anyways great video and channel as well.

[@chrisbiela]

Thank you. I'm planning to do St. Paul separate sometime in the near future.

[@petr-podrouzek]

Great job ! :-)

[@chrisbiela]

Thanks

While it is easy to say that Minneapolis is the 8th largest city in the Midwest in population, the real picture emerges when you talk about the Metropolitan population (Using MSA or CSA Data from the Federal Government). The Minneapolis-St.Paul Metro consists of over 200 independent cities and is the 3rd-largest population center in the Midwest after Chicago and Detroit. (And it is steadily catching up with Detroit, which has been near-stagnant for 40 years).

[@chrisbiela]

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

[@tescherman3048]

@@chrisbiela Yeah, it's interesting that a lot of videos don't take into account factors that are not just one-dimensional. When you look at the bigger picture (for example), right now in 2021, the Minneapolis-St.Paul Metro is the 2nd-largest economic engine of the Midwest after Chicago. Although to be fair, it often trades that rank with Detroit from year to year. But the fact that Detroit has almost a million more people, it makes Minneapolis-St.Paul all the more interesting because of the per-capita generation of wealth. Maybe it's because MSP is headquarters to so many Fortune 500 Corporations, including the world's largest private corporation (Cargill), and world's 15th-largest publicy-traded corporation (United Health). Also really interesting is that Omaha, with just 1 million in it's metro, is home to the world's 14th largest corporation (Berkshire Hathaway). It kind of makes the belief that "flyover land" can be ignored a little ridiculous. Cheers! (Because I'm such a geek) :)

[@chrisbiela]

@@tescherman3048 Well. It is hard to include every aspect in a short video. I think some are dedicated to a specific factors and have to stay focused on them. I like to know some of those statistics because I like it and that is why it is interesting for me but everyone looks for something different.

[@tescherman3048]

@@chrisbiela Oh, I might have to apologize. Don't get me wrong. I think your video is wonderful. And I'd like to thank you and congratulate you for a terrific drone video. :)

[@chrisbiela]

@@tescherman3048 No apologies needed and thank you for compliments.

[@chrisbiela]

Thank you very much

[@austinscherzberg4569]

how are you getting your drone downtown passed geofencing? and not getting a call from the FAA

[@chrisbiela]

That is a valid question. Geo Zone map changes over time. When I was filming downtown wasn't limited like it is right now. Maybe due to pandemic as well.

[@MplsTodd]

Excellent views of Mpls! No, the City Council did not defund the police. The city faces many challenges due to extensive damage from unrest & looting, but it’ll come back. Lots of investment continues to occur throughout the city.

[@chrisbiela]

Thank you. It looks like the city is doing fine.

[@DavidLorenzoFlorida]

I don't know what to say that I haven't said before about your videos. Excellent, great job, fabulous..... Maybe I should just start leaving thumbs up emojis based on how I feel about it? lol. I have a friend that originated from there....he says he's from "Minne-sooooo-tahh".

[@chrisbiela]

Haha:) I"m glad you liked it. I know it is hard to say something different but to me eveey project/town is somehow special. Takes time outdoors and in front of the computer and I"m still driven. Thanks for compliments.

[@DavidLorenzoFlorida]

@@chrisbiela Yes, I know the feeling. I will watch my video over and over as I'm editing to make sure all the loose ends are fixed. I will walk away, if necessary, to get a fresh look at it the next time. I understand the time spent completely. I'd rather put out quality not quantity. Even then, I find myself nitpicking my past videos.

[@chrisbiela]

@@DavidLorenzoFlorida There is always that can be done better. I think it is the beauty of it. Constantly find room for improvement. Never 100% satisfied 😌 but happy with the results.

[@loveforever8661]

It was recorded at October 2020 ?

[@chrisbiela]

Yes

[@JUSAGUYNKY]

To me Minneapolis looks like a Mini Los Angeles

[@chrisbiela]

Hmmm. I disagree. Downtown is not much smaller then LA. Population in Metro area is 4 times smaller. That's for sure.

[@echt114]

Great potential, but most views are what? 4 seconds? Really frustrating for anyone who wants to actually SEE the views and watch them develop with perspective. Is it intended for someone with the attention span of a gnat?

[@chrisbiela]

Average view is 2:03. So around 40 %. It's ok. I can't satisfy everyone. Nobody does. I'm fine with that. Thanks

[@echt114]

@@chrisbiela Are we talking about the same thing? By "view" I meant how long a given scene lasts. For example, the view of the Walker art center looking south.... my eyes immediately loved this one and wanted to watch, but almost immediately, within 3 seconds it's ripped away and there's the govt center which is gone after 3 seconds, etc. It becomes more like a slide show of photos where you have to click pause it if you actually want see it.

[@chrisbiela]

@@echt114 oh. I get it now. Sorry for misinterpretation. It is a music video edited to the beat. My expression. I do not focus on specific buildings. Trying to capture as much as I can from the city. Always something is missing. Usually that is what people are complaining about. There is also a couple of different reasons but not for this moment. Sorry to disappoint you.

[@laffytaffy4400]

Nice!!! (comment me to))))

Travel Advisory: Do not go to Minneapolis as advised by the US State Dept.

[@chrisbiela]

Thanks for the info.

[@combatgirl38]

A right click on your uninformed comment shows *Zero* information anywhere-including the resource you provided- which advises against travelling to where I am right now, In Minneapolis. Might ye be a Troll, Sir? Or maybe simply just a Tool.

[@glitch30rnd]

@AlDelVex he’s right as someone who was born and raised in South Minneapolis and basically grew up on Lake street I would never live in Minneapolis again and anyone who values human life should not.

[@repentandknowjesus8674]

@AlDelVex when ever I'm in your neck of the woods I'll be sure to leave flowers at you grave. GB!

[@chrisbiela]

@AlDelVex Thank you. Don't worry. I got used to it. I try to respect everyone's opinion.
