Make your DRONE FOOTAGE more CINEMATIC!!

Awwwww shucks thanks man for the love! Couldn't imagine youtube without you 🙌

hey Travelfeels (Matt) when you next in Cape Town look us up would love to hang out and show you around our city

[@Travelvids]

We love the Mavic Pro struggles a bit in 25 Knots+ winds. (cant come back home you have to go to the drone) fly's back at 5 knots and sometimes not all all, you must go fetch ;-) its a bit scary. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3WXlGZ7qp11rNU

Something that hits me, your old videos is like far far far better, they feel so much more alive and full of joy. Take that mode back Pete!

I am totally a sight see-er drone operator! Time to level up. Thanks Matti and Peter! :D

[@jensentung]

I quit filmmaking for two years because my university and career influenced me to give up that passion. For two years, I felt creatively drained. You have inspired me to get back into filmmaking. I just released a video about my experience and why pursuing creativity is so important. Thank you Peter!

3:59 is probably one of the best drone shots i've seen

Autel just teased their new drone at CES. I bought their last drone. Compared to the DJI 3 so it's not fantastic, but for $600, it was fun.

[@PilotInstitute]

Excellent advice. Well done!

[@danielschiffer]

Great video Peter! What I would love to know is your technique for using music in these videos without it being too distracting. When I try to use upbeat, energetic music like you typically do in your videos, it often ends up being extremely distracting and I can't find the balance in levels for it to sound how it should, subtly in the background, while still being there. I usually just settle with monotonous ambient music and I wanna spice it up!

[@Suvam]

He's just awesome 💯

[@ConnorLumsden]

Daniel Schiffer you could bring down the volume and highs in it so it had a bit more of a lounge feel.

[@danielschiffer]

Interesting idea! I'll give that a try!

[@MikeSantis]

Daniel Schiffer Peter has already made a video about he is using music in his videos. I think it was a couple of months ago or so. Try to find that video.

[@Chobed]

One of the easiest thing is to animate the levels of your music... so, in the intro the music Sounds massive.. and at the moment you start to talk.. you pull down the music volume... and any moment when you dont talk (like B-rolls or dron footage) you put the volume up again... and keep doing that to the end! :D

Alexander Haugbjørg “Most definitely. The 2.7k HD recording/1080p HD with the Return Home feature makes this thing an advanced flying robot. I have lost connection with my drone so many times (especially flying it over a mile away) and when it does, it links up to the satellites and finds the way back home every time. You can see how I was able to fly long distances on my KZbin channel. “

[@marctrainor5595]

Oh boy!! This gets the most exciting drone video of the day award, for me at least. I know it helps to have great subject material, like Iceland, but I also know, having shot video for long enough, that "it ain't just the scenery" that makes it look cinematic. Your friend Matt is a terrific shooter. I'm gonna study his shots later, to see if I can't learn a bunch from him. He's extremely creative and smooth. I'm also happy that you put together a very informative video here, that is well done, and that you used your good friend's footage to show some of the ideas you're talking about. Very thoughtful and creative. I'll certainly check out more of both of you on KZbin in the future. Marc Trainor

Amazing shots, thanks for the tips! Summary: Plan your flight Take a variety of shots Have a subject Show scale Use ND filters for dynamic range

SWEET! We just got a DJI Phantom 4 to use on our 9-Day Ecuador road trip project! Have never flown a drone before... What's funny is that the guys who let us use it said "This thing will fly away on you... not sure why..." So we Googled "How to prevent DJI Phantom 4 Fly Away..." BOOM! #1 - Pilot error! ROFL! It shows how to set the settings to prevent that from happening! So glad you put this together, @PeterMcKinnon! This has really helped us start imagining different shots we can do on this trip! Cheers! - Brian + Erin (Texan... Canadian... Travel... Buddies...)

[@florianreichelt]

Those drone shots you just previewed were absolutely incredible! Sometimes the hardest thing while editing is to decided what shots are actually worth it to get into the final video. How do you decide that? Do you any "rule" for that? Oh and finally a video again with Travel Feels - you two are an awesome team! :) Cheers!

[@davidlautman]

Peter McKinnon 🚨 At 6:42 you said “...these ND filters really help you get dynamic range” this is incorrect. ND filters slow down light allowing you to lower the shutter-speed which can give a more natural or “cinematic” motion blur, but this doesn’t add more stops of dynamic range. Having a slower shutter in bright situations also allows you to open up the iris; giving you a shallow depth of field which can look “cinematic” but again doesn’t effect dynamic-range, you need a better sensor or camera to improve that. Anyhow great videos, very fun stuff & keep up the great work! 😄👍

[@silbay]

David Lautman “slow down light”???? ROTFLMFAO

[@nystro0m]

You can look at it this way. If you want to use 2x frame rate of the shutter. Sometimes that will lead to over exposure. With ND you can keep that latitude, in other words. More dynamic range.

[@rocheuro]

Peter should have said "recover some burnouts in highlights" or sky.. everyone knows that. there is no reason to point that to Peter ;)

[@nomadcompany]

[@georgekempson670]

I'm running a DJi Spark, had it about a year now, so this video was quite informative, cheers Peter Mac. I'm getting around 20 minutes from each battery, so i try to maximize the time i have the drone in the air with the best footage i can get. There's still plenty i still need to learn about the drone, especially the Go 4 app which i need to learn more about. I can deffo be accused of just powering up the drone and flying, without really thinking about what i'm going to be filming, pretty much all of the video's on my channel feature the area where i live, in Snowdonia, North Wales, UK, which is a beautiful place for motorcycle riding (my other passion) and drone flying. I can also be accused of having to edit out the fast, or jerky movements of the camera in post, i need to maybe use the tripod mode to get smoother footage, so i'll be concentrating on that more in future. Love the Spark, does what i want (mostly) and i'll just do my best to try and improve on my skills at flying it and delve into the software more and try to understand how everything works. Ok, i've had the drone for nearly a year and i can hear some of you saying i should be way ahead of the game now, with the software, etc.....but i'm 65 next month, so gimme a break guys. Things take a bit longer to absorb as you get older but at least the drone gets me off my arse and out there getting some exercise, so it's not all bad.

[@splaschko]

I’m very happy that this was longer than 2 minutes

[@Yan-rv8mi]

1) Get the most variety of shots at one flight. (360, low panning slider, pullbacks, push-ins, etc.) This requires you to plan before fly. And this allows tons of flexibility while editing. 2) Do "Nice and close" shots, as well as "Pull all-the-way back" shot which looks quite cinematic (where the subject looks so small compared to surroundings) 3) Find a subject in the shot. Tracking it, 360 it, etc. 4) Use a ND filter.
