Awesome And Amazing John You Are An Artist At What You Do🙂🙂🙂Great Day for flying🙂🙂🙂

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks so much, Robert!

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Fantastic John looks a Great Day Out👏👍

[@johnriper4416]

This was one of those shoots where the end result turned out better than I'd expected. Usually when I look at footage I think, "I've gotta go shoot some of this stuff again."

[@airbornevlogs]

Great flight John, nice clips put together well, you captured the boats very well, looks like a fun day to participate in😊big like👍

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks, AV! Ever since watching your Preston Stadium video I've been thinking about doing a video of the stadiums in Seattle. You can see the Husky Stadium (University of Washington) sneaking into some of the clips in this video, since it's right beside where the races are held.

[@airbornevlogs]

@@johnriper4416 do it mate, you won't regret it, get as much content together as you can if you even think it might not be a good video👍

[@TravelHungryForLife]

Fabulous my friend really enjoyed this well done keep in touch see you again cheers 👍🏼👍🏼

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks!

[@keytiger7]

Awesome footage ,great flying and editing.

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks, DA!

[@DavidLorenzoFlorida]

*Interesting boat day. I haven't heard of this on ESPN or otherwise. But, it looks like a good event to attend 👍*

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks, David! It was an especially good event to be at this year because the weather was ideal. Most years, early May is rainy, or at least drizzling, which dampens attendance and enthusiasm. If I'd had a crew helping we'd have shot and recorded audio for stuff like the marching bands that were there and more of the crowds. But with just one guy and his drone, I got as much as I could!

[@sneakysweeno]

Oh wow this is great! Mustve been so much fun to captire all of this. You did a great job well done 😊👍👍

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks! It was quite a day. I shot a lot of it in a big crowd with a police officer standing next to me, curious about how the drone worked.

[@ladyintheskyuk]

Excellent work. Great footage 👏 👍 👌

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks so much!

[@honestholidayreview]

Masterfull drone skils! We love the up-beat music... it goes well wit the video. It's a pitty this sport is not more popular. It requires a lot of strength, technique and coordination. Very unique event! 👏

[@johnriper4416]

[@thatplace1]

Just watched the movie men in a boat so this is a great sequel to see the crew races. That is great to have space to watch from the shore or bridge. Great flying through the opening draw bridge. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers👍

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks! I haven't decided yet whether to shoot 2024's opening day, which isn't too many weeks off.

[@snufkinOnTour]

Great job John. Super impression as you fly under the bridge and close to the kayakers. Great video. ☘☘☘

[@RossAngell]

You filmed the racing boats perfectly, John! Great production, my friend!🙏🙂👍

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks, Angell! I'd just intended to get a bunch of footage, and didn't realize until afterward there I could make it into a narrative story of the event, so it turned out better than I'd hoped.

[@acplanells]

Great job on the video

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks, Angel!

[@MainlightDrone]

Awesome footage again, John. A part of Seattle I've never seen before. Loved the flight under the bridge and the time lapses when it went up, too. Did you get hired to do shoot this event?

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks, Christian! No, I wasn't hired, though I did send links to both rowing teams and to the sponsors, and got very nice responses. Ever since I started watching your videos I've wanted to adopt some of your techniques, and figured narration would be a good place to start. I knew Opening Day was coming up, and did a quick shoot in advance to figure out where to best stand and how much range I could expect, then got as much footage of the day as I could. The end result was a lot better than I'd hoped for. I'll be away most of the next six weeks, but the next two videos I've planned after getting back will be incorporating even more of the techniques you've been using.

[@withdrone.]

They seem to be very careful when shooting in crowded places or during competitions. I don't think you can do it unless you have confidence in flying. Great flight and music.

[@johnriper4416]

Thanks! I scouted the site the day beforehand to figure out where to fly from and then the altitudes I'd be safe at (though flying under the bridge took a bit of nerve).

[@withdrone.]

@@johnriper4416 Preliminary inspection is necessary for safe flight.
