ONE MAN, ONE MOUNTAIN - Narrated Short Film (6K, DJI MAVIC 4 PRO)

mountain · Thursday at 8:07 AM

Shoot, I actually like hearing criticism.
Just a heads-up --> obvious, but still worth mentioning: the voice is AI... no way I could talk that nice in American

VIDEO DESC: One man. One mountain. Infinite reasons why.
A silent journey into the wild - and into the self.

Very nice M. Nice use of intelligent flight modes. Fantastic scenery. I can see you were smart enough to head down the mountain in daylight, unlike myself who did a similar hike (not quite as ambitious) but stayed at the top throughout the afternoon, heading down at sunset, only to find myself struggling to follow the trail as it got dark, very quickly. Thanks for sharing.

Gotta admit, you made me laugh... all that just for a sunset shot. I always say: we drone folks are a rare breed of crazies!

) Yeah, those were some sketchy situations, but glad you made it back home safe.
At least you learned something from it!
I’m actually planning to film both sunset and sunrise on this mountain... lucky for me, the shelter up there has electricity, so I can charge batteries like crazy and even crash there overnight.

Thanks for the feedback, even though it wasn’t really criticism, but hey, I’ll take it

Quick question: do you think the story felt too cheesy or over the top?

Well not a criticism but it did look a bit like DJI’s promo video for the M4 Pro, but that’s good, it was well done.
I’ve been caught in the woods several times after sunset, not sure I learn from my mistakes.
