    Flying around Colorado

    I have it on a time lapse rig that is made with a 6 foot extruded aluminum t-slot rail, a step motor and controlled with a dynamic perception timelapse controller. I shot it with a GH4 which has a built in timlapse feature so the dynamic perception controller is just used to move the camera...

    Flying around Colorado

    At the time that I flew I didn't receive a warning prior to taking off. The trails that I shot from were Last Dollar Trail and Yankee Boy Trail. Both trails were fairly remote and the areas were within valleys. If you scout out the area especially along the off road trails, you will find some...

    Flying around Colorado

    Yup, a good chunk of it is in Ouray. I picked a bad time to head there as they got their first wave of snow and most of the trails were closed. We tried Yankee Boy Basin, Lost Dollar Rd and Corkskrew Gulch. I'm trying to head back this summer for Summit! Hoping to have more capable FJ by then.

    Hi from Allen, Texas

    Nice to meet you. I shot a short a couple months ago in the Sachse/Wylie area. Where do you typically fly?

    Thanks for the kind words and also you have a great reel! All the footage was shoot in 4k 24fps. Color from the camera was was either D-Cinelike or Art and default style. I then went into post and color graded the footage with Film Convert and dialed in the sharpness and dynamic range of the...
