One other (possibly irrelevant) point I'd make is that in film school I was taught that the human eye/brain combo "sees" the world at around 24fps, which is why the standard was adopted as the "normal" frame rate after the switch from 16fps...

Nice camera operating...

Hehe. You know, I find that the most important thing about nice footage is composition and movement of the camera/drone. It's pretty easy to find the good camera settings to get nice looking pictures, but the skill I'm trying hard to master is the combination of moving up, left or right, with...
