Northern Scotland

[Serhii]

Hello everyone,

I finally have found some time to finish the video from my trip last year to the north of Scotland. I would appreciate your feedback.

Please add places names, either as captions on the video itself or as subtitles.

Where in Northern Scotland?

Well done !!

Beautifully flown. Scotland has the most majestic scenery! My only small critique is that I would have ended the video with your fly over of both of you. Great work though

Makes me want to go back and explore the Northern Highlands.

I'm not a skilled videographer or editor, but I'll offer a few constructive suggestions for consideration. The video you shot is beautiful and the places you chose are stunning. You came home with some great footage.

Some of the compositions could stand alone as photographs, like the approach to the red house in the beginning with the lines of horizon and mountains and the dark sky above and lake below. The music is perfect. It's good to see people in some scenes rather than just landscape. The orbit shots were very nice, with parallax giving a feel of motion and showing off those beautiful vistas.

Possible edits:

• I'd reduce the length of some clips, like the one at 0:20 over the lake and the later one about 1:30 flying low out the cove. Maybe the one low over the field.
• A few clips have odd movements at the very end that are distracting. For example, the clip beginning at 1:30 has a brief rise at the end.
• The motorcycle clip is overexposed in some areas, especially the rocks. It could probably be cut where the lead bike enters the trees. There's an odd stop in the drone motion at the end now.
• If you were looking for something to cut, it might be the partial orbit of that island. It's a bit dull and just not as grand or graphically interesting as the rest of your clips. The clip low over the road is another possibility. And it was a little unsettling to be flying "in the wrong lane" with the thought of oncoming traffic. To me, neither clip relates well the the rest.
• What about a transition between clips, a quick dissolve? It feels a bit abrupt to go from the view of the red house on the lake to an overhead of the ocean shore, for instance.

Take all that for what it's worth. Or what you paid for it. They may well be equivalent amounts.

I really liked the video and I think it could be even more enjoyable and powerful with just a little cleanup and polish.
