2 Pro Dual Gas Drilling Rigs

[DaveS]

This video is a good example of what I do with a drone almost all the time. The Mavic Pro 2 I use belongs to our company, Encore Multimedia, a full service marketing and advertising agency in Longview, Texas. I shot this for an oil and gas company based here called R. Lacy-Crain Energy. The video shows two rigs drilling mostly horizontal wells, for the eventual fracking that will produce natural gas. I started early in the morning when the fog was heavy and finished by mid afternoon. They are drilling five wells on this site in the Haynesville Play, in Panola County near the Louisiana boarder. The guys you see on the rig toward the end are some of the company owners. It's not a sexy video but I enjoy doing it.

The opening shot is particularly nice.

I can understand why you enjoy that. And I'm assuming you get paid to have that fun. Good deal.

Yes, I do. So, pretty good deal huh, paid to fly a drone. Thanks.

Nice video and yes, the opening is great. However I prefer a short over all view (used later) first so I know what is about to be shown. Then show that great first shot.

You are correct and that's usually what I do. In fact, I normally start with a wide shot, out-of-focus with the title over that...the title fades out after 5-seconds or so and the wide shot comes into focus. In this case though, I decided to put the shots in order of most foggy (earliest in the day) to no fog (afternoon) so as not to confuse the viewer with fog going in and out. Thanks for the thoughts.
