In this episode, we dive deep into the real data behind the drone flight.Part 2 of “When a Failed Drone Shot Becomes a VFX Sequence” reveals how flight telemetry can be turned into a fully explorable 3D path.
We’ll analyze logs exported from AirData, visualize the camera’s motion in Google Earth, and build detailed day and night photogrammetry models in RealityCapture.
Using an incredible custom Python script, we’ll recreate both the gimbal-compensated camera path and the raw airframe motion — giving you a true cinematic-grade view of your flight inside Google Earth from drone point of view
.
What’s inside:
- Flight log evaluation and data interpretation
- 3D flight path visualization with Google Earth Pro
- Gimbal vs airframe motion comparison
- Day & night RealityCapture reconstruction
- Data export for camera projection and grading
