Best shot was the close flyby of the mountain peak.
Good start.

Great utilization of the music score and its integration with the video transitions!

I loved the video, the scenery, the flying, and the music. I wondered about the shooting ratio, noting the black bars above and below. I struggle with this in each and every video I make. The settings, 16:9 ratio, etc. Still not sure what I am doing but I fiddle with it each time until I can get ride of the black bars, either on the top/bottom, or the sides.

I noticed a fair amount of blur and color fringing in the corners, even in the beginning where you might have been using a camera other than the drone. I have never seen that before from the Mini, so I don't know why it's there.

I used a FCPX plugin for the blur effect

Interesting. So that was on purpose. I enjoyed the video quite a bit, but I have to say I found the blur and color fringing distracting, and thought it was a defect of some kind.
