How To Shoot Breathtaking Visuals with Your Drone ...

Introducing easy way to shoot better drone footage AND have it pay for itself!

The big mistake most people make is that are obsessed with getting a drone up high when in actual fact the really fun stuff (that also looks great) is flying really low...

But that takes confidence...

When I was starting out I struggled with all aspects of flying like:

• Getting really comfortable with the sticks,

• Figuring out exposure,

• Learning how to fly complex moves with manual control,

• Spatial awareness ( I was always glued to the monitor)

• How to get great shots in low light...(sunrise and sunset)
  
  
  You're not sure if you should be watching the drone or the monitor and its not long before you can't see it up there and you get a bit nervous...

  
  

  And you don't want to be one of those newb's that flies it into the river on the first outing...!
  
  Any of these resonate with you?

• Do you struggle to work out how to plan and develop your aerials to get that cinematic look?

• Wish you could get amazing shots that will amp up the production value of your productions and impress your clients.

• Want to know how to set up your drone for the way YOU want to film, setting exposure right, stick tolerances and the tilt and yaw control on your camera ?

• Creative ways to nail filming epic landscapes and architecture and getting those signature shots that you need when building a visual narrative in a story...?

• Knowing what makes an aerial shot visually appealing and grasping the types most used cinematically, and what 3 aspects are needed to make them pop?

• Want to master cinematic movement as a single operator - ie flying the drone and adding cinematic camera movement simultaneously.
  

These filmmakers were struggling with the same things I was but after they joined the How to shoot breathtaking visuals with your drone, here's what they had to say...
