High Sierra -- My First Project

[seat108]

In the days after I purchased my first drone (Mavic 2 Pro) I learned some valuable lessons.

1. I can still climb a tree like a 12-year-old (mostly).
2. DJI Care Refresh is awesome.
3. I am more interested the photography than the flying.
4. This forum is a goldmine of information, i.e.,
   1. Litchi
   2. Virtual Litchi Mission
   3. Google Earth Pro
   4. Laurence Seberini online courses, etc.

In my first video project, I leaned heavily on automated flight planning (150+ hours), not so much on actual flight skills (~10 hours). The software tools aren't perfect and much of the video had bumps that I believe are related to gimbal movement but that actually made it easier to edit this down to a reasonable size.

NIce footage! I've seen worse for a first edit (looking back at my own first attempts...)

Somthing to consider is, to giv a short title or ticker giving the area where the footage is from.

Beautiful scenery. Where is this? (When I google High Sierra all I get is Apple software)

Good idea about the location, I got into the unending micro detail and forgot that major one. The title is now Larry Bond Lived Here -- Johnsville, CA USA

Sorry, no Apple software in this one, the location is Johnsville, CA which is within the Plumas-Eureka State Park.

Well flown and imaged! Enjoyed your vid, great first attempt.

I know about that one. Remember sitting for hours on a video, got it rendered overnight and happy to have it ready the next morning - to find out that I had forgotten to add the subtitles to the film. So, start up, attach the subtitles and run it another time.

Great first attempt, beautiful scenery
