Very interesting video on drones.  I liked what the guy had to say about these things being "tools".  What he meant was that the most expensive drone might not be the best for a particular job.  I would take that one step further and say that the "story" or what you want to say is the thing that should dictate the "tools" you use.  A perfect example is that you wanted to show the beauty of the coast line -- the drone was the right tool for that.

This is the link you need.

Except it doesn't work direct from your post although it looks the same !  mine does.  Yours will if you copy it, most peculiar.

Hi Guys.

@GStree It would have been beneficial if you had raised the reason for reposting the link.

The original link worked from my end using Firefox. I copied the url from the site, re-pasted it in the post and it didn't work. I've put the link on a new line and it works for me again. Does it work for you now??

Hi I simply posted the link because it didn't work, however it does since you reposted it. I don't know if you have to pay or how much it is to use a drone in the UK. I don't actually use it in the UK as it is in Spain where they have different regulations,  you don't need to be registered at the moment but it will come in along with the rest of the EU I'm sure .

Thanks Gordon.  Obviously you had great fun playing around on your timeline.

My wife and her sister went to see this film (Nope) last week at the cinema and said that it was one of the worst films that they had seen in a long time and couldn't understand it and why "people" said it was brilliant in the reviews. They told me briefly what it was about so I quickly made "YEP"simply to make them laugh

I might actually "enlarge" the film in the near future as I ran out of talent making it !!
I did make a similar one that you have probably seen and was made in the same field a while back.

We should of course know that cats rule us ! In fact I have seen that before Eric as I like to delve into what sort of videos people make and how they are put together.
Yours are well made/edited and informative (incidentally what camera/camcorder do you use in later years)?

I saw this a second time Gordon .. Did you do the production completely on your own?  By that I mean a one-man-band ..

I've do a number of those kinds of productions and it's hard framing shots and judging if you have what you want when shooting.  The advantage is that you are depending only on yourself. 

It's amazing what you can do on your own these days compared to days gone by in film production. 

What's the hardest things for you?  For me, it's getting an idea in the first place that I can do on my own (without help).

Yes I do it completely on my own, I obviously use a tripod and try and judge where I'm going to be in the shots, although the camcorder screen can be turned to face the front you cant see it from a distance. What I do is get a few trial shots to make sure I'm in frame and put something on the ground as a mark. I also tend to use 4k so that I can finally frame it in post if need be before final rendering in 1080p HD. The joys of being able to see the footage immediately and using as much as you like compared to our old "proper film" days certainly changed things !  Yes getting the idea in the first place is the hardest thing for me as well as everything has been done before !  In the "How Weird" piece of nonsense, I thought if there are aliens out there we assume that they are something that we can actually see, however what if they are very small or even microscopic ?  I obviously thought it was going to be difficult to make a film about a tiny flying saucer so I made it a little bigger. The part where I trod on the saucer and squashed it in the ground took longer to make than the complete video !  I have one video on my site that has had getting on for a million views, all it consists of is a hastily taken car crash at Goodwood circuit. I did notice that the first part of "YEP" had almost 900 views on the first day that I put it on ! I only did  it for a joke for my sister in law so there is no accounting for taste.  I don't think I'll continue it any more as the extension https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHMIIMcY7a4&t has only had 40 views although I did take a bit of time syncing the sound to the video.
