Fly Like the Pros: 10 Cinematic Drone Moves to Rule the Skies

[@munichopu]

One of the best videos!

[@csoresto]

Not only both your footage and your advices are great but watching your work gives us the chance to understand how fundamental sound design and color grading are too ! Cheers man ;)

[@SeanAlami]

Thank you Kindly 🙌🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@dandalee]

Wow, man. What an utterly excellent video. One thing I've realized is to treat the drone like an actual camera when you're filming -- meaning don't forget about composition, distance, and light. And for video especially: have a beginning and end point in mind for a shot. Think about what the point is of that shot? Anyhow, you've inspired and taught me a lot! Keep up the great work.

[@SeanAlami]

Cheers man

[@totalstranger8412]

Very nice, this is the look I would like to create. My imagination is off the hook, thinking about this information combined with hotshots and waypoints. I’m going to replay this video many times. Thank you.

[@OAVProduction]

Wow the move back tilt is so beautiful

[@sandrucristian1983]

I like the most that you are an experienced person and the way you explain makes me understand very well. Thank you very much. Compared to young people who think they are experts after 2 months.

[@madenluvdesign]

Thanks again Sean, second time this week I’ve been to your channel. First was earlier Monday I think in Re interior Avata review

[@alemany1919]

Yesterday I bought my first drone in 41 years, a DJI Air 3. This adventure have just started and your videos has been a great source of inspiration and teaching 🙏

[@SeanAlami]

Best of luck!

[@montesinosdroneworld]

Even when I already know most of this movements, the way that you explained it with your footage, just inspired me. Thank you!!

[@SeanAlami]

Thank you my dude 🙏🏻

[@Philonic]

I went to Neuschwanstein Castle before I owned a drone. That shot of yours reminded me I need to get back there someday now that I have one! Great video!

[@ewanmackenzie6777]

Wow Sean, you get around, amazing shots of some amazing locations. Great tips, thanks

[@SeanAlami]

Cheers mate

[@s.s.productions]

Hi, Sean! I appreciate your videos and the experience you share. I also am impressed with and enjoy the locations that you show. Still, one question bothers me: I believe 100% of your videos will be played on a monitor of some sort and not in the cinema at a frame rate of your choosing. If it's so, why do you shoot at 25fps instead of 30 when the monitors can't play a 25fps video with their 60hz refresh rate without skipping frames and making the movements jagged and jumpy? Example: 2:09 Example 2: 3:13 Am I the only one who sees the branches on the 1st example and the mountain on the second move in skipping and distracting way? If the other viewers see that as well, doesn't it make sense to shoot at 30fps and thus add to the professional look that you are teaching?

[@SeanAlami]

Thank you buddy. We all shoot 50 here in europe

[@s.s.productions]

Hi, Sean! Maybe there was a misunderstanding. I am in Europe too and yes, the power outlets have 50hz frequency, but the monitors' refresh rate is 60hz (on all monitors I have checked). 60hz monitor refresh rate doesn't divide correctly by 25fps and works much cleaner with 30fps footage according to my experience

[@FPVSlice]

@@s.s.productions True, but monitor refresh-rates differ a lot nowadays. Usually 60hz is the minimum. That's why i prefer to mostly shoot in 60 fps, it makes everything way smoother and looks best on KZbin in my experience. But it really depends what you are shooting though. Slow movement looks best in lower framerates, gives it that cinematic feel like the clips in this video. But with certain footage, 24-25 fps video will induce some kind of stutter because the frames won't be displayed with an even amount of time. Compared to 30 or 60 fps video on a 60hz screen.

[@TimRansome]

Beautiful shots! Really useful! How much of the smoothness comes from the speed of the drone and how much from a slower frame rate and refining in post?

[@TheCynicalNihilist]

it's all in camera as far as speed.

[@Alviiiinnnnn]

Thank you..! ❤❤

[@tomarse84]

Hi Sean, your video was very beautiful to watch. Even though I already knew most of the movements and tricks already, you visualized them perfectly with your beautiful drone footage. Very inspirational! Greetings from Vienna

when you fly low, do you use nd-filters for the frame rate?

[@rajmakwanamakwana7579]

Superb

Very nice shots and moves but Wish u also showed how to move the wheel on RC for beginners

[@steeve3386]

I loved this video so much but also I think this is more designed for pro. Maybe next for next time, please show how you do these on the remote

Thank you Steve, thats a good point

Cool video I just subscribed ✌️

Hi Sean, I like your videos and learn a lot from your tips, as I am a beginner in drone filming. And now I see a video of my town here ( Rovinj) 🙂🙂

Thank you man

Cheers so much I love and appreciate all your great know how, I love the push through shot and I'm with you on your last tip because it changes things from the same old, same old 👍🤗

[@SeanAlami]

Thanks a lot

[@jampaPT]

Amazing work! The video could be 3 hours long and I would still love to hear your explanations and different types of drone moves. It's really helpful.

[@SeanAlami]

Cheers man

[@_asandashundu]

The grading in these shots

[@dylansmith3]

Does the mini 3 pro have a cinematic setting?

[@niclasguenther6689]

Hey great explanation first of all. But I find myself curious about your shots in Germany. Did you apply for special permission to shoot at the location like Neuschwanstein etc? I know for a fact that these are no drone zones and you are not allowed to fly in city’s or in close proximity.

[@DFD1]

I've watched just a few of your videos Sean. Enough to find out that not subscribing to your channel wouldn't be quite the right thing to do 😉👌

[@SeanAlami]

Well Dawid I appreciate that my friend 🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏼

[@sepuliveTV]

nice tips

[@nakastudio8737]

Good job Sean, iam beginner of pilot drone. From your videos, i learned how to do that. O y Please could you share the music link. Thanks in advance

[@cogotexx]

I almost started making notes 😅 there’s a lot of videos and channels dedicated to the flying and very few good ones dedicated to the filming. I mean; you start by making cool videos for your vacations…and next thing you know…you’re making shots for Christopher Nolan 🤷🏻‍♂️ I find this stuff just mesmerizing…and I don’t even have a drone! 😂 (getting there though…) New subscriber here 👍🏻 Many thanks. You rock! 🤘🏼

[@SeanAlami]

You can do it! I appreciate it🙏🏻

[@agriflight]

Does anyone else notice the judder of most shots (ex at 2:05)? This is the single most important thing that I am struggling with right now and happens is most drone footage

[@awangmuhammadihya9132]

Perfect365

[@DonnyP87]

Hey all, something I'm super annoyed by when it comes to my own footage is when it's jittery/choppy. So I start to pay more attention to this and noticed it's in most of his shots as well. How to solve this? I know about the 180 rule (framerate/shutter speed) and I just bought ND filters I'm about to try out. Hope that helps or reduces it.

[@dummag4126]

I have the same problem.. But if I see the same video in my smartphone it not happen. So I thinks that is some virus in driver video. I tryed to take videos with ND filters and 180 shutter speed, but the result is the same 5 fps but less detailed...tac tac tac is very annoyng

[@IvanToman]

It has nothing with "180" rules or any shutterspeed used. Slower shutterspeed introduces motion blur which is a bit nicer to an eye, but does not fixes stuttering. This happens because of wrong frame rate. For youtube you need to record in 30 fps (or 60, 120 for slow motion). If you record in 24, 25, 50, ... you get this. Also, set timeline to 30 fps, too. Only for cinema projectors you use 24. Try and thank me later.

[@tomahawk4874]

Text titles do not seem smooth. BTW, thanks for sharing the awesome tips.

[@dummag4126]

Is a problem of my monitor but i see all drone videos at 5 fps? tac tac tac tac tac, instad the your video in studio is more fluid and more detailed 8:45 I can clearly count that the snow in the foreground is shot 4 times in one second.

[@SeanAlami]

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@levyherczeg2423]

So maybe im just to picky but why are all your shoots so jittery ? What i mean by that is most of the part the background not what’s in front of the camera.It’s coz your on 24 fps and your moving your drone or something you did on your edit ? I notice that coz it happened to me as well and i did love it with 30 fps footage and edited in 30 fps timeline or 60 fps footage in 30 fps timeline. Besides that really really great content and explanation and i love your way of composition. Have a nice day

[@mateuszk8616]

Good video but horrible juggering on shots. 😅
