Did you use any tracking functions or fly by hand?

I used spotlight tracking for some of the following shots and the circle shot was one of the quick shots.

But half of the shots were all manual.

Brilliant sound quality! Who was it & where can I find it or similar?

One of the best I have seen for awhile!

Great video and really nice work. I am curious how you got sound for the drone shots? I always thought the drones didn't have mics built into them.

If you have an iPhone or are using Apple you can get IMovie. You can add your own music but it also has some pre-recorded sounds and music. A pretty simple and handy movie maker.

Thank you! You are correct, there is no mic on the drone, I add in all sound in editing to give the video a more dynamic/full feeling.

I get my music from musicbed.com
The song is called "Go" by Cody Fry.

I've seen iMovie, looks pretty easy to edit. I'm on Windows, been using Sony Vegas as of late, I like it a lot.

I tell you what, you timed in the sound effects perfect from the birds, ocean sounds, and boat motor. Nice work!!
