Hi People,
My name is Wolfgang, I live in Austria and I am pretty new to this forum. I am flying drones for 5 years now.
I have always felt there was way too little information from the drone companies in any regard out there. More so in the beginning, but even today it could be way better. Especially considering, that drones are no toys and can do harm if not used properly.
Being a photographer and filmmaker, I have decided I´m going to change that. I have started to create a free IN DEPTH videoguide for the DJI Go App. I´ve spent the easter holidays (complete last week) to create hundreds of screenshots from the App, imported them to Adobe Illustrator and drew every single icon, etc. to be able to focus on every detail, and also to be able to create the videos in 4k, so that all the details (even the small ones) will be visible.
Now I´m starting to create the videos and this is when I thought It would be better have as many educated eyes controlling the videos as possible. So I´m here to reach out for your help.
I thought I´d upload the videos to vimeo first. Vimeo gives me the option to edit the videos, reupload and change them. Youtube doesn´t. All you can do is delete the video which is not good for search results of the youtube channel, etc..
Then it would be awesome if some of you guys and girls could have a look at them and tell me what you´d change and what I missed. I´m going to change the things discussed and reupload the better version.
Once the video is ready to be published, I´m gonna delete it from Vimeo and upload it to a youtube channel.
I want to be honest with you: I´m going to monetize the youtube channel (youtube ads) because that baby is an awful lot of work (more than 50 hours so far and I didn´t even start to edit the first video), and even though I love doing things like that, I need to find an excuse for doing this rather than concentrating on my dayjob.
But for people looking for a good guide to DJI Go, the small add in the beginning shouldn´t be much of an issue cosidering that they get it all for free.
I´m afraid that I can´t pay anything because 1. the channel won´t make me rich, and 2. I guess you will understand that most of the work will be on my side. But I will honour your feedback by naming you and this site in the credits at the end of each movie.
Another thing I want to be honest about is that while I sure will follow most of your feedback, I probably won´t include all of it because I have a framework in my head that I have to keep in mind and I also want to use studying techniques I´ve learned in college and in my later careers.
So my final question after all this writing is: is anybody interested in participating? and checking the videos I upload to make them even better?
Cheers,
Wolfgang
