My Drone Cinematography MasterClass is FINISHED!
Hey Gang. I hope you enjoy this little video essay about my view on our incredible drone hobby.
Some people chase cinematic drone footage, …some people enjoy shopping for drone accessories and some people are most energized by the experience of flying a drone out in nature and documenting our incredible planet. -TED NEMETH

Happy Birthday Ted, all the best from Bonnie Scotland.
Mini 2 is a superb wee beastie, I've loved mine since its first flight. Will never sell it.
The Mini 3 Pro was hugely frustrating, constant updates, bugs, features not working, focus issues, jello effect, etc completely stifled my creativity, in the end I gave up and sold it.
From owning the Mini 3 Pro I learned one thing: give it a year before buying any new model of DJI drone, don't get suckered into being an unpaid beta tester.
Still loving your videos Ted, am grateful for all the stuff you've taught me.
Amazing and very wholesome video!!
Happy Birthday, Big Ted! Once again, you have started my day with a smile and a big injection of positive energy. I hope you have a wonderful day, my flying camera Guru!
I think this is one of the best videos you’ve ever made. You’ve shown me something… creativity is in itself a talent… a talent I don’t seem to have lol but a talent. Well done, I wish I could see “scenes”.
thank you. wow i was VERY nervous to publish this episode. I’m new to making “video essay” type videos. It’s a VERY difficult yet subtle art of storytelling & editing to keep the viewer interested & engaged.
I don’t think this episode is very good. But it’s a skill I want to develop. You say: creativity is a talent you don’t seem to have. You’re just wrong.
"Children are born artists; the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up." - Jean Cocteau
I highly recommend you read (or audiobook) RIck Rubin’s new book: THE CREATIVE ACT. We all have creativity within us. But our daily routines as an adult doesn’t require we use it (generally speaking). Being “an adult” usually means being pragmatic, making rational decisions. Not being creative. But that book by Rubin is about slowly learning to tap into the playful youthful creativity we all have.
While your answer might have been the completely predictable "The friends you make along the way" type answer, i'm really glad you made it and that there are people like you on the planet,.
Happy Birthday from a new Canadian drone pilot just starting my journey!
Happy Birthday Ted!
My wife is a glass artist and I've shared some of your videos with her.
She enjoys them and has never even flown a drone... your message hits home.
Happy New Year...too!
oh wow! a glass artist. Can you email me a link to some of her work? Would love to see. I was a professional leather craftsman for 11 years. Loved working in all different materials. I think you have my email already.
@@TedNemeth email sent. She used to do some shows in the NY/Philly areal. As you'll see, she's very inspired by nature.
I'm out the door this morning to set up some local trail cameras in our national forest. I saw your video and had to add the mini drone into the car!
Happy Birthday Ted , another informative video. Nice work mate 👍
Happy Birthday, Ted! I'd suggest a slight amendment to your closing idea. The greatest drone in the world isn't the one you own. The greatest drone in the world is the one you USE.
GREAT video and reminds me why I have a drone!!! Instant subscriber!!
Brilliant, as always! Love it, thanks!!
excellent episode... you are a master...
Thank you Ted. I watch a lot of Mini 2 and 4 videos from creators and I learn from all of them. But you are by far the most creative of the creators. I love how you said your hobby is what your drone can create. You sir are the Messiah of flight!
Creation-Consumption. Romance-Realism. This video expresses important philosophical dimensions. Got me going to my bookshelf to re-read a few of my favorite passages from “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.” Happy Birthday, young man, from Wisconsin.
the shot on the train track was stunning!
Be the unbearable lightness of being with you always. Happy B-day Ted.
The excellence continues. Happy Birthday Ted! ( LURVE yer movie list!! I TOTALLY agree with all of them!)
Never doubt your message Ted, you always drive home some important points.
Happy Birthday! Mine is 01/04 :) Well played, well played on the answer to the best drone!
Happy birthday Ted!! Your positivity inspires me! Thank you for your videos!
I am just glad to see you put Smokey & the Bandit. All time best.
you caught that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you’re the man Jeff.
Happy B day Ted! Nice dissolve edit on the dock. Tagged you this morning on a similar project...
Ahhh man happy birthday day you player! I’m 58 and had years in construction , 27 years as a cop … eek. Was truly just my day job! Haha and now in my 4th year teaching at a small college … but filmmaking has been my passion since I saw Star Wars at the Chinese Mann theater in LA in 1977! Now my goal is to make my or a…. Movie. Come hell , highwater, or my casket ⚰️ keep dreaming my man! I do and will never stop 😊
Great Video Ted. Couldn't agree more on the creativity. I have a career that is the opposite of creative. Consequently I spend all my free time drawing, writing music, and operating a "flying camera". Since starting drone flying I have a totally new perspective on the places I visit and where I live. Best thing I did recently was fly my drone over the place I grew up. Wow, really nostalgic and emotional experience. Unless you grew up in an airport I recommend doing that. Finally Ted, get some extra batteries. Seriously. Keep creating! D.
David what a great note you wrote. You have lots of great creative hobbies. And loved your Dundrum footage.
Happy birthday Ted. Another awesome video.
A nice inspirational video to start the new Year, Ted. Yes, drone flying for me gives me a greater love of nature and a new way to experience it.
Happy birthday! I just turned 59. I got into drones a few years ago and am loving the views 😁
So creative, so wise and so inspirational. Thank you for your work on all levels. The best to you in 2024!
ohh man thank you! I really am still trying to figure out everything.
is there a topic you’d like me to cover?
Happy birthday, my friend, Another great video, thanks
Happy Birthday Ted!!! Thanks for the reminder to focus on how flying makes you feel rather than the equipment used.
Karen well said. Yup we all occasionally get lost in the tuning of the settings & stuff. But nothing beats the feeling of seeing your skills start to improve. Let’s have a great 2024
Happy Birthday Ted! Thank you for another inspiring tutorial. I can’t wait to get back out there with my Mini 3 Pro once the wind in Cornwall dies down a bit.
Happy Birthday Ted 🎉 brilliant channel, great videos and love the philosophy of its all about the journey and emotion you trigger in the individual, not the gadgets and gizmos. Thank you :)
Happy Birthday Ted! Love watching your videos! Your love of life really comes through and your subjects and reflections are inspirational. May you remain a child at heart forever.
Lucie thank you for such a kind note. I really appreciate it.
"Children are born artists; the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up." - Jean Cocteau
Thank you Ted amazing video. Love your style
Happy Birthday Ted 🎉 Another great video. This is exactly true, and the same philosophy applies to nearly everything in life. 😊
You are amazing Ted. This was eye opening. For sure going to attempt a couple of these tricks in editing.
Glenn thanks for watching buddy. Please tag me. Would love to see.
Your inspiration is fantastic, thank you.
Hi, Ted. That is a good point to remember. Often we forget why we purchased the fliying camera (or anything else for that matter) in the first place before another ad or UA-camr convince us to buy something else or the latest based on their opinion. But at the end of all that is our very own fault in controlling our own urges to get the lastest toy "just because" When you are forced to use what you have creativity becomes part of you. But instead we succumb to the endless vicious cycle of buying the lastes toys. Thx!
Happy Birthday. Simple is often better with everything in life.
We love you Ted. You're channel is so inspiring... I still love my Mini 2 too!
Happy new year dude 🙌
long live our Mini 2. It’s the drone that got me to fall in love with the hobby. I think that’s the case with many people.
Very well said! Thanks! Happy Birthday!
Hope you had a fantastic and creative birthday Ted 🎉
Cathal I appreciate it! Cheers and let’s have a great 2024
Happy Birthday my flying filmmaker friend. Please keep doing what you are doing the way you do it. Cheers.
Thorsten I appreciate it my friend. Any big storms down there? Is this hurricane season there? We are getting a big snow storm in New York this weekend. Dang.
Hi Ted, fortunately all is calm here. Hurricane season starts again in June, lasts to October. Fingers crossed nothing happens to you due to the snow storm. Keep your flying buddies at a safe place.@@TedNemeth
Well said and great footage. Looks I just keep using my mini 2😊
Happy birthday and thanks for a wonderful channel that I managed to find a week or so ago. I really like your minimalistic way of creating, also this video is amazing. Thanks!
Happy Birthday Ted!!
Happy Birthday Ted!
"The best camera ... is the one you have with you." - Chase Jarvis Same with flying cameras.
I have been piloting drones for nine years now - it was started/and remains an extension to my photo "work." I also got into the technical challenges of piloting and have a Part 107 certification. I have found a hard case provides a place to organize and protect the aircraft/controller in my travels.
Love the coffee cup on the top of the car @ 02:20 in the video. 😏
Happy birthday from this 53-year-old white male who just got his first drone two months ago. Having watched a few drone channels now, I can honestly say your angle is truly unique. Keep at it! 🙂
Happy New Year Ted. I do love your channel. I tell you why, last August I spent over £800 on the Mini 3 Pro and fly more kit. Everyone was saying how great the mini 3 was. Two months later Dji release the mini 4 and they forget about their customers who own the older model. There is no way I will sell that drone for a Mini 4 for Dji to release a mini drone a 5 12 months later. Everyone are now making videos on the Mini 4. You make videos on showing us how to make great videos with our own drones. Thanks for showing how you make that transition, much appreciated. Also adding a LUT real made a flat image look great. Keep these great video's coming Ted.
Steve thank you for letting me know my episode really resonated with you. There will always be a newer model. But a newer model won’t improve your skills. It’s the skills that create great footage.
Congrats on your Mini 3!
Happy birthday Ted! And amen to that brother, reminds me of the old saying that the best camera, is the one in your hand. Great video, and looking dashing for 52, your creative new connection with nature is serving you well!
Jamie i really appreciate it buddy. Thank you for being part of our community here.
Happy birthday Ted! You couldn't have said it better, the best drone os the one you own. I love your enthusiasim in your videos, thanks for sharing your passion. 🦘😎👍
Happy birthday. Thanks for another entertaining video and some great ideas. It's your emphasis on the cinematography that brings me to your channel.
Marc I really appreciate you letting me know that. I’m really trying to find my footing/voice/style here on UA-cam. Is there a specific topic you’d like me to cover in an upcoming episode?
@@TedNemeth Well, you're doing great. What I'm aiming to do with my drone is to get video of prehistoric sites in the British landscape for a series about ancient Britain. One of the big lessons I've learned from your channel is the need to plan shots, not just throw the drone in the air and take random footage hoping for the best, though putting that into practice is another matter. You make it look so easy and I've come to appreciate how much skill is really involved. Anyway, just throwing this out in case it helps you with ideas, one thing that could be useful is more on planning and executing a multi-part video with different locations, like how you plan the story, get the right pace, and get a common look across the footage (where I know you say that the look is not just about colour grading but a whole lot more). Another thing that might be useful is about how you can make landscape features like mounds and earthworks look pleasing or dramatic, because many of those ancient British landmarks are not as photogenic as Stonehenge and consist of barrows and hill forts. Some of the issues might be static shots, dynamic shots, high shots, low shots, top-down shots, oblique shots, what works best, and perhaps time of day, and how it affects things if the narrator is in the scene or not.
Great outlook, and wonderful clip 👍
Glenn i appreciate that my friend.
Happy Birthday 🎉 young man. By the way, great video!
Dennis right on man. I appreciate it. Happy 2024
Another good one Ted!!! 👍👍👍 Thanks and Happy New Year!
So true ,i'm still rocking the Dji Pantom 3 Pro , believe me , normies won't know the difference from a well edited video .
nailed it right on the head man. I'm a carpenter by trade, the feeling I get while using my hammer, is very similar to holding my controller. Art is a reflection of the artist's soul.
well said brother. i don’t think many people view drones as a creative expression. I think the word “drone” kinda has a…gimmick feel to it?
But a photography camera definitely gets people to think of it more as a creative tool. I’m hoping with this channel to change peoples view.
you and your dock, me and my lake haha ua-cam.com/video/7AcDMAF6eGI/v-deo.htmlsi=H9KqBX797Y2YzqBA@@TedNemeth
come visit sometime, flying up north is a whole other world @@TedNemeth
Happy Birthday, Ted! Your authenticity is as magnetic as the methodology you teach. I guessed you as much younger so keep doing what your doing. 58 here and still have so much to learn, which keeps it interesting.
Tom thank your sharing good sir. I’m still trying to find my ….style/comfort zone here on UA-cam. Just gotta keep doing it and have fun along the way. You getting any storms down there? We have a big snow storm coming to New York this weekend.
@@TedNemeth No real storms down here, Ted. The weather hasn't been normal though. Unusually cool and more rain than normal. We're supposed to be in our dry season but the weather gods don't care about our calendar!
Happy birthday Ted 🎂 🥳
Happy birthday Ted. 🎉 It's all about capturing the moment. I have no idea about sensors and all. If it looks good and stirs the soul, it's great no matter what.
Hey Ted,
I wanted to share a perspective on the unique bond one can form with a drone. It's not just a logical connection; it's more of a gut feeling. Have you ever watched "Silent Running"? That movie really makes an impact. You start to feel a connection with those drones, like they're silent guardians in a desolate space.
Experiencing financial hardship can be strangely liberating. When you're at the bottom, you find comfort in unexpected places. The drone becomes a companion, a confidant amidst the chaos of an empty wallet. It's like a dance with destitution, a tango with the void.
In the absence of material wealth, you discover the richness of unconventional bonds. The drone is more than machinery; it's an extension of your soul navigating life's turbulent skies. Despite financial struggles, riding high on the wings of a metallic ally makes you realize that sometimes, in emptiness, you find unexpected treasures.
So, Ted, embrace that connection with your drone. Let it be your silent running companion in the vast uncertainty of finances. Who needs riches when you've got a fantastic plastic bird to share the journey with? It's a strange world out there, and sometimes, being broke opens doors you never knew existed.
Happy Birthday and Happy New Year Ted! Here’s to a fantastic year of drone creativity!
Happy Birthday my dear friend, stay blessed always. Love you buddy❤❤❤❤
thank you buddy. Ahh man my India trip has to be postponed a bit. I’m caring for both of my aging parents right now.
My 1 year trip across India will be a full length documentary as I hitchhike from the southern tip to the northern border. Along the way I will volunteer for 5 major charities. I can’t wait. I’m going to play drums in a rock band and ride motorcycles with a biker gang and spend a few months with the gypsies in Rajasthan. I’ll be posting all the misadventures here on my channel when it happens.
What part of the country are you located?
@@TedNemeth You forgot dear😉, I'm from Bangalore.
👏🏻....👏🏻.....👏🏻 -> bravo
Happy Birthday big guy, hope it was great for you! While I get a lot of inspiration from your techniques, the biggest takeaway for me - and something I always have to remind myself of - is to let the scene speak for itself, don't attempt to make the drone create something that simply isn't there. I realize there are exceptions here but since adopting this philosophy my footage is has improved so much.
Eric you are the man. LOVED your recent sunrise/bridge shot. Wow.
And you said it perfectly…..let the scene be the star of the show and don’t try to overpower it with complex drone moves. There’s exceptions of course. But just speaking generally.
You are so much fun to watch. Love your enthusiasm and message.
THANK YOU! for letting me know. I’m still kinda trying to figure out how I appear on camera….that might sound odd but I’m still pretty new to all this.
Well, you nailed it. Creativity.
Only thing I can say is fly, but, don’t forget to hit record lol.
Bob yes! I’ve been recording epic drone scenes…..except i forgot to hit record. Doh!
You always over deliver! Excellent video.
Love it, preach on brother Ted! I just recently jumped from the original mini to an Air2S. I may be a few years behind but it's still oh so sweet!
congrats on your Air2s. That is such a great bird. Fly safe and let’s have a great 2024
Outstanding. Keep up the awesome work.
right on! thank you.
@@TedNemeth my pleasure. There are very few photographers, drone photographers etc, that know what they are talking about. They'll mimic one another. But you my friend are a rare breed. You speak from an artist perspective, using your drone as a tool. Keep up your honest and insightful work. Just post more haha.
Thanks for keeping it real, Ted! You're a constant inspiration, but more important, you really taught me something about why I fly. Keep on keeping us honest, brothah!
Take a vow Big Ted 🙌🏼 This is the most beautiful drone related video I’ve EVER seen
Man…this video is the one piece of advice that every beginner should watch…Way before the ones about settings, specs, camera movements and whatnot
PS: I have stickers on my mini to spook birds 🤣 (red reflective…no eagles or hawks or any of that)
Brother another year under the sun congrats man how much fun can a grown man have with these little toys aye all the creative fun indeed hope ya well and have a kickass year Ted cheers
Oh yeah don’t put stickers on ya tool hehehe
yup. pro tip.
yeah buddy! glad you’re part of the gang here. Great 2024
Happy birthday Ted! Great video. My birthday is in January also. My birthday is next week. I love this video.
Hey thanks, anotber one of best drone videography advice from the wise no b.s. Ted. 💪..
Wonderful video. And you are absolutely right...!
My DJI History:
2014: DJI Phantom 2 (OMG, big, heavy and complicated, but fantastic. Ran away twice, crashed badly 3 times, continued to work ; -)
2016: DJI Mavic Pro (Actually excellent, but often connection problems)
2016: DJI Osmo (Nice gimbal, I still own it)
2017: DJI Spark (ran away from me, never found again)
2017: DJI Goggles (2 x , lots of fun, hacked for other uses)
2017: DJI Osmo Mobile (I sometimes use it with GoPro, DIY conversion)
2023: DJI Mini 3 Pro (So far the absolute best & world’s greatest drone for me)
The world's greatest drone is in your brain and then what you make of it 🕊🪁📷☀👍🏽
wow super cool. your 10 year anniversary. Love it. Thank you for sharing.
First off, first off.... Happy Birthday Professor! Second of all. I knew that was the answer because all my drones are my best drones for something.
Brilliant and inspiring and you've saved me a lot of money. I like your attitude. Every time I feel myself overwhelmed by pent up demand and the urge to upgrade I have to ask myself, "And what exactly are you planning to create that absolutely requires the new features that are offered?"
Amen brother
Great video Ted! This philosophy is what I'm striving for. Not quite successful yet, but getting there slowly.
Fan of your work, keep it up 🌷❣️
I learn a little more from you with every episode. Mostly though, you inspire me. You are so correct with the camera sensor VS old great movies! Also to note, many of my favorite films were listed there. Ted my friend, Happy Birthday! I turn the same age in April. Good to see age is just a number and doesn't effect creativity regardless of what Tarantino says!
Happy Birthday…. I’m just turning 53 and getting into the hobby of drone videography… thank you for all your videos!
I have to admit I have done the sticker thing to my drone, got a hard case, but because of your videos I’ve only invested into two filters a UV filter just to protect my lense and a ND64/PL…. That’s it!
Thanks for saving me money!
Happy birthday Buddy. I hope you have a great day. Love all your videos, never miss a one
great to see you buddy! thank you. Loved your last flight.
@@TedNemeth Thank you for the view. Your voice means a lot about my videos. I really appreciate it
Yes sir ... we "consumer adicts" are always wanting to buy buy buy ... and get the latest and greated that we can "almost" afford (but can't).
I'd be willing to bet that a huge percentage of drone owners (evern Part 107 folks) are lacking in the creative and piloting skills, and yet have some of the latest and greatest hardware. Love you videos. Keep up your get work and your enjoyment. (I'm a 76-year-old geezer, and time is definitely fleeting).
Cheers, Chuck (North East Florida)
"I don't want to put stickers on my tool." Good choice! 🤣
Thanks for the cool video.
you caught that!? ha. right on. Hey you live in the PNW? Good choice. Beautiful place in the world. Miss it.
Happy BD Ted. As the saying goes... "The best camera to use is the one you have with you".
Richard I appreciate it my friend. Yup the best drone is the one you’re flying. I truly feel every drone makes is outstanding. I’m considering starting a second UA-cam channel using only the old DJI Trello / Spark.
Thank you, Ted. From the beginning, I had no doubt about the message. As they say in photography: the best camera is the one you have with you. Anyway, a spare battery or two helps.
thank you for watching my friend. Welcome to you in Italy. Very cool.
Awesome as always Ted! Happy birthday!
P.s I hope your coffee cup survived 😂
ha! you caught that. Love it. Thanks brother.
“Vision is the Art of seeing what is invisible to others” Jonathan Swift Thanks for sharing your Visions!
i dig your style.
Always fun and informative Ted! 👍👍
thank you ma friend.
Hearing you and Albert Einstein speak of one must develop a childlike inclination for play made me smile when I remember not long ago using my mini 3 pro as a handheld camera to make a short video of my babies room and using the drone to shoot a stop motion clip of a toy Wombat walking around in my childs room. Why? Because it was fun and I hadn't seen anyone use a drone in this way before, so why not 😎
Happy birthday Ted and kind regards from Alsace, France. Your statement about the best drone is as lovely as it it´s true. That drone gets even better the more it is used.
Christian merci mon ami. I checked out your channel. You’re getting some great shots. Is there a specific topic you’d like me to cover?
Happy birthday and another awesome video
Happy birthday, Ted!🎉 from 514-Lena B in Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦
Hi! I’m 70, I’ve been flying drones for 11 years, and I couldn’t agree with you more…😊
I still have a mini 2 and for certain shoots I prefer it. I do have other drones, but I choose the drone depending on the shoot I want. I think is a feeling thing.
Just now seeing your post Ted but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🥳🎊🎉 And I love and totally agree with this video! 😁👍🏻
Ted - Happy Birthday ! You have hit the nail squarely on the head. I was ahead of you in guessing that the 'greatest drone' would be the one you have available to you. So true - timeless wisdom that we so often overlook.. I never go anywhere these days without my drone and my camera..
¡Extraordinario video (como siempre)!
Un saludo desde Uruguay deseando que sea otro gran año para todos los que amamos los drones.
Extraordinary video (as always)!
Greetings from Uruguay, wishing it another great year for all of us who love drones.
thank you my friend. I appreciate you being part of our FLYING CAMERA CREW
Thanks to you, Ted!
You are the best at teaching drone cinematography.
Each video is better than the last.
Just like you, I love my Mini 3 Pro.@@TedNemeth
