RE: LATVIAN NATIONAL THEATRE | CINEMATIC EDIT
Very cool, Reinis! A couple of questions, Sensei:
Is the opening shot flown backwards and reversed? Wax on? Wax off? ;-)
How do you achieve these neat arcing fly-by motions? (e.g. at 0:25) Do you nail the camera to a center spot with ActiveTrack and fly sideways, or is it done entirely by hand with practice, or is there a mode in the Mavic Pro I don't have in my Spark?
Are the ground level shots done with a (dedicated) gimbal or with the drone in hand?
Yes! It is reversed!
And all of the motion is manually made with my fingers. No flight modes... I don't use them... Ok, I once used follow me so the drone would follow me from work to home in gta2 style, but that's it :D
Console gaming helped me with these drone skills :D
And ground camera was GH5 with zhyjun crane v2
Have a nice day! :)
Thanks for the answer. Congratulations on your amazing dexterity with those sticks, it really looks like the rotation is nailed to the screen.
I've seen your gimbal episode, 100% agreed. I use a DJI Osmo Mobile, but then again, I'm a poor amateur. ;-)
A nice day / evening to you as well.
Thanks!!!
Osmo mobile is also very good for filmmaking! You need a good phone tho... With a good camera. I am thinking of getting zhijun smooth q or the Osmo mobile...
It's a very good tool and if used properly can be very powerful for some epic cinematic storytelling! :)
Osmo works great, but they are pretending to have time lapse motion control. At only 720p that's a disappointment. Also requires an older DJI GO app, which is as bloated as the DJI GO 4 app. Double the space for very little effect. Mechanical quality is excellent, batteries on the older model are changeable, not on the newer. Compare carefully.
WoW... ok I guess the smooth q just won! :D
