New Mexico by Drone (4K)

A one week adventure filming New Mexico's epic landscapes with the DJI Inspire 1 drone and Zenmuse X5 camera. We traveled over 1000 miles through windswept deserts, foggy forests and snow capped mountains in the onset of a blizzard, pushing the camera and the craft to their limits.
Locations include: Highway 14 from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, Santa Fe National Forest, Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway, Eagle Nest State Park, Gallup, Shiprock, Bisti Badlands, and Historic Route 66.
Shot in 4K on the DJI Inspire 1 Drone with Zenmuse X5 Camera. Shooting Log with contrast turned down and the DJI 15mm 4:3 lens. Tiffen ND filters. Edit and Color in Premiere Pro CC w/ help from Filmconvert and Neumann Films Inspire 1 LUTs.

[@LoscherFilms]

[@gerhardsmit3333]

Great job

[@paulm9850]

Stunning landscape would love to see it

[@stevemitchellhomes8249]

Superior drone footage! My God, the editing and, especially, the music...Beyond Enchantment. This should run on the Super Bowl. Who wouldn't book a tick to NM the next day? That first cut to the horse riders is so moving. Suggestion: on the final shot, as you're rising on the windmill, just as the spinning rotor starts to go below frame, do a matched cross-fade to a distressed version of the State flag with the its Zuni sun, animated so it's spinning in the same direction as the windmill was, but slowing, then coming to stop in its normal position. Hold for a beat on that flag, then fade to black. Killah!

[@danielsaredi]

Great clip, congrats!

[@LiveMoreCZ]

Awesome drone skills! :)

[@TheJcGlobal]

Nice!!

[@simisFarm]

Stunning! =)) Great work!! =))

[@Raptorman0909]

Truly excellent footage! Nice editing and cuts timed nicely with the music. Music choice also very good. Was some of the footage from the area near the Bisti Badlands -- sure looked like it.

[@flightgeist1959]

+Raptorman0909 Yes, good eye! There are shots from the Bisti Badlands in the video

[@Raptorman0909]

I'll be ordering my Inspire 1 Pro X5 in a couple days and have already generated a list of 20+ sites to shoot once I have my fight skills down. Hopefully the winter weather gives me a few windows to do that. There's some great scenery in my state of Utah...

[@EpicLightMedia]

YES!!! This may have just convinced me to upgrade to the pro. Great eye, well shot, fantastic color edits. Many of these moves seemed quite complex. Did you have the second remote with a camera operator for this? Either way... well done.

[@flightgeist1959]

+Epic Light Media Yes, 2 person operation. Thanks

[@wearemakingarttheartistist8148]

It's only northern NM, missed out on so much in Southern NM including White Sands and the Organ Mountains.

[@austinjohn3221]

Is that by chance a DJI brand drone I’ll have mine soon enough.....nice footage

[@Chase-mj5mr]

Home 😊

[@StaleyKeck]

Great video I recognize many of those places, how did film the gorge without anyone on the the bridge? The palisades and cimaron valley is always a beauty!Well done

[@alexmamet70]

Great,can't wait to travel around.What bridge is that in min 2 ?

[@papajoecooking4425]

I grew up in New Mexico from 1959-1974. This video makes me home sick! I grew up 5 miles from where Pat Garrett was killed.

[@davidcockburn370]

l agree with all the comments stunning.!!!.video work.!!!.fantasic.!!!..what type of Dji drone did you use.?.was it the inspire one pro or raw.?. l thought 4k was a gimmlck using my gopro 4 black as l had best resuls with 720 p superview and 2.7k superview but not good results with 4k but watching your video.!!!.WoW.!!!.nice work.!!!.

[@Clutchhandla]

😍😍😍😍

[@jesse230able]

This might be the best work I've seen with the X5 yet, well done! Was this shot in Cinelike and colored in Davinci?

[@flightgeist1959]

+jesse230able It was shot normal log and colored in Premiere using Filmconvert and a few LUTs

[@YoderCine]

Gorgeous! Where is that bridge location @2:00 ???

[@mathiasbinder1673]

great footage guys!!! can you tell me in what color mode did you shoot?

[@APehrson]

Amazing video! I love your editing a drone footage. what song is this and where can i find this type of music? thanks

[@humzahfaizan]

Where is that bridge at 1:57? Great video 👍

[@century21blackgold41]

This is beautiful footage of our State. Would you mind if we shared this on our facebook business page for those moving to the area?

[@flightgeist1959]

please email us directly at [e-mail]

[@Chevanator]

4k is great and all, But I would prefer 1080p at 60 FPS. Still a beautiful video though :D

[@flightgeist1959]

+ChevanatorGaming The x5 does shoot 60 fps at 1080 (maybe you already know this, couldn't tell) but we chose to film this one at 23.98 based on the shooting conditions and pacing of the music. 60 fps does look beautiful though and we've used it on other projects

[@hongyusha9456]

Great work, it's so amazing. What's the music that you use in this video ?

[@flightgeist1959]
