    2 Pro January/February 2024 Snow sculpting to Ice carving and Hot Air Balloon's in just a little over 3 min....

    Three minutes, I watched and enjoyed ever second of it. I see too many videos that are 5-6 minutes or longer that just repeat the same scenes and I fast forward after about two minutes. Yours was varied all the way to the end.

    Mini 3 Mini 3 (not pro) 4K night shoot of a ship in a canal

    Nice video. Used to drive to the Welland Canal from near Erie Pa, as a teenager 60 years ago

    3 Summer Along Lake Champlain

    My 17 year old grandson always out-does me with his videos. He shot these scenes near Plattsburgh, NY, Treadwell Bay and, Willsboro Bay. The Adirondack Mountain shots were West of Willsboro Bay. He flies a Mavic 3 Classic.

    Air 1 Carrie Blast Furnace’s National Historic Landmark and Pinkerton’s Landing Bridge

    Nice video quality but I got confused with the constant switching back and forth between the bridge and the steel mill. Reediting and reducing to around 3 minutes would make it a great video. Wish I knew the working history of that steel mill. I used to drive through Lackawanna NY and see...

    3 Predela - abandoned and unfinished building

    Great flying but too long. Edit down to 2-3 minutes

    Mini 3 Lighthouse

    I was more enamored with the departing ship than the lighthouse. I brought out the colors and sharpness a little so you can see the details of the lighthouse and the wind turbines in the background. I know, each to his own but that's my take on your great picture.

    3 Coming out of a Rain Wall : Captured this beauty.

    I loved the picture but thought the foreground should be brightened a little. I added a gradient mask to keep the area under the clouds dark.

    Air 2s San Diego County Fair - Del Mar, CA

    Great video length, great colors, great music. And thanks for being an excellent pilot and not flying over the fair!

    MY FIRST DEMO REEL!

    Really great for your first video. I rarely watch any video over two minutes and gag when someone puts up a first video 10 minutes long but, I watched yours end to end. In my opinion, Dale is an expert at this type of videos and you should reread all of his comments. It's personal preference...

    3 Pine Creek Canyon Summit flight

    I wasn't in love with the music but really enjoyed the video. And it was the right length for the subject, a one time fly in and fly out!

    2 Pro The story of Dead Dunes!

    I enjoyed the video but found the audio editing annoying. If you had interrupted the video only a couple of times then cutting the music volume could be ok but cutting to voice every few seconds and reducing the music volume was annoying. Perhaps you could have increased the music volume...

    Mini 3 The Haunting Ruins of Cwmystwyth Mines

    I hardly ever watch a scenic video over three minutes as most of them repeat, repeat, repeat. However, with your historical description of every building or mine I watched it with interest all the way to the end. Very nice job.

    3 Irakly beach and Vaya river

    First two minutes were ok but after that I just fast forwarded through the repeated passes. Suggest you spend more time on your editing. However, it did make me wonder if I should consider an Avata.

    Air 2 Fall in the Adirondacks

    First shots were of Polo-O-Moonshine along Interstate 87 just before the leaves started to change. The ski area was Whiteface Mountain where two Olympic Ski Events were held.

    Air 2 Fall in the Adirondacks

    I have better drones but my 16 year old grandson always out shines me with his Mavic Air 2 with this video as an example. He uses Final Cut Pro for Editing.
