Scott it's almost all shot at 50P, I'm guessing you would use 60P over there. Occasionally I run it in slomo as well but only sparingly.
The music credit is, and has always been, on the vimeo page. I have used Caleb Etheridge's work for many of my short films through Artlist.io
Spectacular footage mate. Gotta love our country,so diverse.I kind of got inspired by my recent trip to Tasmania and Victoria to make a film that shows that Australia is not all desert, not by a long shot.
All captured on my replacement M3, supplied by DJI after an incident with a branch that refused to give way to me
Filmed in the Australian states of South Australia, Victoria Tasmania and in the Northern Territory, hope you enjoy "Dressed in green-Australia"
Chris, Yes I was caught in some light rain in Tasmania (which looks a bit heavier in the film than it was!) and decided to keep going a bit. My main concern with the M2P was moisture getting in around the battery mount but on the M3 of course it is rear-mounted... but don't try this at home! I always keep obstacle avoidance off, sometimes to my detriment, but to get the best shots you really need to remember the SAS motto "Who dares wins"
(and of course loses!) I do find the RC pro better but no better than the standard controller that came with the M2P so why didn't it come with this one at nearly twice the price! I think the main thing to remember for your future video work is that there is a lot of planning in all of this and you need to use both sides of your brain at once. Here is a whole page of my short films if it helps! Aerial Cinematographer-Chris Tangey on Vimeo
Victoria and Tasmania for the forests and the waterfalls are in the Northern Territory. Flock of corellas in South Australia
Ironically I don't use collision avoidance in tight spots, just where you logically might want to use it, as it limits you way too much. 360 spatial awareness and doing slow pre-runs is the key. Having said that you can get too sure of yourself. After doing those tight spots near waterfalls etc. I went out into the open for a shot and managed to fly it into a tree branch right above my head! Beginners mistakes can still happen and keep you humble!
A complex question, I just happen to know that corellas are actually fascinated by drones and if you are gentle they'll let you even fly with them. Note in the clip that they are not flying away but across the flight path to check it out. Each species reacts differently and some WITHIN a species. I've had some emus freak out and others let me join their pecking the ground in the desert from just 2 metres away. Main thing is, harassment is not cool and keep your flight short.Awesome. I enjoyed the whole video. I have been very wary of birds but perhaps now I can be a bit more adventurous.
I use Open Sky but as I operate mainly in the outback these kind of apps can be useless without a signal. We have to go even further than CASA rules back home. For example if I visit a cattle station I always check whether they have any heli-mustering going on as the little R22s can be operating just a few feet above the ground! Best tip is go by CASA rules, it's pretty straightforward.
Had me intrigued too but I thought I'd let sleeping dogs lie, I'm grabbing some popcorn.
Hey ChrisThanks Bussty, by the way I'm posting a new version soon with subtle differences including grading, titles and a widescreen look, even swapped out a clip or two (it's what I do!). Should be online in an about an hour, see if you like it better
It's obvious, Chris lives down under so his video will be upside down for all you Northern Hemphispherians
It would take a Kiwi to come up with that, although now I'm wondering ...was it just a very dry joke?It's obvious, Chris lives down under so his video will be upside down for all you Northern Hemphispherians
