Cris:
I viewed the film twice (something I rarely do). Overall, I would rate it as a great start in flying, and in editing. I had a lot of problems with the double speed ramping effect which you threw in so often. I would have preferred only a few, single speed ramps. You captured Hollywood Beach , the water tower, and the Guitar Hotel well. I, myself, spent an entire day trying to capture the Guitar Hotel. I even drove up on their rooftop to film, and nearly was arrested by the Miccosukee Police department, when three squad cars roared up the ramp and surrounded me! Luckily, I had predicted that I was not supposed to be there, filmed really fast, and had already stored my drone back in my car. I pleaded ignorance and they left me alone. I did get some nice footage from the Mc Donalds grassy area across the street. I can send you that video by private conversation.
I was shocked at how well you flew over the hotel and the pool areas. I was frightened to death to do that. (I drove 2 hours from Coral Gables to spend the day at the hotel filming). The night views were also stunning. (again, refer to my film I will be sending privately).
Telling a story, in my mind, consists of an initial broad and then a wide view- perhaps from the oceanside facing the city and beaches. Then move in for a mid view, and finally, the granular views such as the beach walk, the hotel, the water tower. I would definitely cut down on the speed ramping. It is not a special effect if you over use it.
