It works well, you have to fly in just above ground level, so the field muffles the prop noise.. 🤣🤣.... It's easy for me because the field behind my house is flat so I don't have to follow any elevation changes
Finaly!!! Finaly someone mentioned the same feeling that I had, and I thought that something wrong with me: that it is boring to lift the drone and filming different views with no specific reason and planning. Drone footage became so popular and available for everyone that to see something just from above is not so fascinating anymore. And sometime I feel lasy to lift the drone, If I don't see any chance to film something unique.
I know that filming trains may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I do just that. I use 2 ground cameras and my drone to film trains in remote areas to capture it all. It’s a great way to film
I agree. As a drone pilot and travel video maker myself, I see many people randomly fly drones without any clear mission. Even worse, they fly and annoy many people, which makes it harder for us drone pilots to operate.
Enjoyed this, muchly. I couldn't help thinking about a recent colonoscopy, and why camera novelty doesn't necessarily make for riveting pieces. No plot, no script, no storyboard, no character development. I guess that's why hospitals can't sell video tickets. And neither can drone flights that only show scenery. Oh, wait. Somebody is sure to do one on TicToc.
Excellent! I literally just started playing with a Mavic Air2. I’ve only had it in the air 3 times. Lol. This helped tremendously for once I get the hang of it.
Hey Jeven, another great video, thank you. What do you do when you are solo and want to get an in-action shot of you in it (on your bike for example) - I am a new drone flyer and have been taught to keep it in visual line of sight at all times. I am in a real conflict of what I would like to capture vs what I have been taught. Thank you 🙏🏼
I’ve actually been thinking about this issue. Mine is background music. I’m not into background music as much for different scenes. Natural sounds of trees and nature would be more appropriate sometimes imo.
I tend to like authenticity over real but "fake" sounds from sound libraries placed over videos. One way to solve this would be to have a high quality microphone out with you and record actual sounds from your trips. You might end up with some unique stuff and it would really be from the location that you were at
Great tips - I'm finding it difficult to even find places where I can fly the thing - So many restrictions now (in UK), Can't fly over/near people, places where people might be, buildings, public places so my flying consists of images of me staring at the controller in a random overgrown field haha. What I really need is some mountains and a fleet of off roaders...
Drone will auto split the video every 4GB. I see there are lots of small video clips when to output the shooting footage, what should I do If I want a full-length video?
Very good and useful tips. And certainly also applicable to ordinary filming with a camera on the ground. Many people film anything and everything without a plan or location exploration. It often helps to do a preliminary research on, for example, Google maps. But sometimes it is also important to know the position of the sun for the incidence of light at the location. And for those who don't have the budget to travel, you realize that there is sometimes a lot to see in your own region that you could still discover. Be creative with a plan. Thanks for sharing your experiences and skills. 🆒🎦🎬👌👍👋🍀
Jeven, have you ever been to the secret waterfall near Holy Jim falls? Bridge to nowhere? Blackstar Canyon? Baldy? I know you go to some really exotic locations but are you aware of the cool shit we have right in our backyard? Anyway, I'm a fan of your work but not a fanboy, 100% just looking for a few solid pros to shoot with locally from time to time. It's hard to find people willing to put down COD Vanguard, or people in shape enough to mountaineer, or simply people passionate enough about creating content that can hold their own. I've been working with cine, rsc2, a few DSLR's the m2 pro, and a whole bunch of local knowledge. According to DJI I ranked in top 99.3%. Lets go....!
Been to most of those spots. Really cool to explore. We have access to so much from Southern California. Always down to go shoot. I moved down to San Clemente recently and don't know very many creators that want to go explore. Hit me up on my IG or twitter so we go shoot.
I wish I had a drone still... RV Life and no drone, really curtails the possibilities. My phantom 3 was killed (no video feed) by a coast guard helicopter that decided to come to the car show I was shooting.
With such a high amount of incoming comments from this and his many other videos, it is getting really hard to reply everyone. I don't think he purposely doesn't want to answer all of them, it's just too difficult at the stage he is now with over a 700'000 subscribers.
Great video Jeven👍👌I agree with you and telling a story is important but also the atmosphere of the video! If you are interested you’re very welcome to take a look at my latest video flying the Mini 2 in misty weather conditions and at the same time trying to tell a story. I always add a description with the video on YT so it’s clear what the video is about. Greetings from a subscriber from 🇳🇱
You hit the nail on the head here. I’m in my third decade in this business as a helicopter and fixed wing camera op. My people go to enormous expense to put an aerial on the show and usually only a few seconds at a time. I always try to offer up some sexy stuff, but it’s usually the meat and potatoes shots that you see at home or on screen. Coming back from break or scene change with my shot calibrates the viewers head as to where we are and then 1-2-3 cut to another camera on play action or talent. It’s an entire production not just about how cool the aerial guy is. Seriously, this is my profession, I’m at the top of it and you’d think I’d champion it more and more. But even I’m sick of too much aerial, or should I say the over use of the aerial asset. An aerial shot can have huge impact if used correctly and sparingly. But if the shot goes on too long, it’s like a joke that takes too long to tell. By the time you get to the punchline there’s not as much payoff. Nice work Mr. D!
Nice Jeven! I totally agree...I'm a strong believer in incorporating a few drone shots along side ground shots to give perspective. Aerial only videos tend to get boring real quick.
I don’t have a drone yet but this video is really helpful in my pre-buy research. I live in a special government-administrative city in South Korea, so the drone laws are quite strict. After I make sure I’m sticking to the rules, I’ll use this to make sure my footage is engaging!! Thank you ~☀️
Good luck with starting droning. I suggest try to fly in an open space, where you will have less or no people. Try out some movements and you will see with each flight you get more confident. It's totally normal to be nervous in the beginning, even afterwards. I am now droning since 4 years and despite much confidence I got meanwhile, I still have slight feeling of scare. It's always good to have some scare subconscious feeling, thus, you will always be careful when droning.
Jeven I'm a lifelong landscape photographer; I like to think i'm pretty good; I have had my first drone for 2 months and man its not EASY... Great videos keep em coming and best wishes from Wales here in the UK.
Yeah, for me some movements are to hard to do, but then I realized that simple movements can make the final video really good. It just depends on the creativy we have to make the perfect shot.
Hi Cassius. It's not easy to take good videos because you are still new. But hey! With experience you will be getting better. Very pleasant to the eye are 2-axes movements, like you turn your drone and move up for example. Takes some practise. Good luck!
Most successful UA-camrs are busy telling everyone else how to do UA-cam videos whether it is criticizing products etc. as for whether anybody has an idea of a story what makes you an expert?
We all learn from mistakes. Jeven is just saving us viewers the time to not repeat common mistakes. That allows us to learn faster. I am droning a lot myself and I see many beginners do these common mistakes he mentioned here. A lot of beginners fly randomly and often do not even realize that the space the are flying in is actually a "no-fly zone".
I bought a Mini 2 on Black Friday as a result of seeing you use one on your channel. I love flying it and am trying to fly it a lot just anywhere to gain confidence with it, but I totally agree a drone shot with no subject is boring. Great video.
Been watching some of your videos and they are so informative. Thank you. Question please, is it possible that drone footage can be played on a large scale screen with sharp images? Approx 10x20 Or will it be pretty blurry? Looking to start a business and need a few details worked out and possibly an experienced drone flyer. Getting my ducks in a row for this project. Thanks again
Oh my gosh, let's take this another step and say please stop making boring drone tutorials. Present company excluded but if I have to watch one more actrive track demo with someones kid riding a skateboard around a park I'm going to barf.
90+% of drone video are boring because they show everything and 3-4 minutes of large landscape is not fun to watch.I don't have a drone yet but I feel mixing drone footage with ground footage is the most exciting videos. you shoot over a forrest then do a walking video inside the forest. Do a tracking of a car get down and shoot a drive by from the ground too. Most films or commercials are not shot with only 1 style.
Before the vid, a add came up and talked about Artlist, copyright free music, I know there is a ton out there, but what website do you use for music? Im new to editing and stuff, just using iMovie, but im running out of the stock iMove jingles.
hi jevan my name is haasty kawa love your vids keep going anyways I would like to start a channel can you tell me what's the best free video editing for a go pro 10 hero
I used to just film everything and it made the edit so long, now for my hiking films I've been incredibly strategic with what I'm shooting which has drastically sped up my productions.
Why do I watch you, this video and your channel? One is because I enjoy you because you are like-able and have good content but in addition to that, your videos are helpful to me as a content creator. I get the enjoyment and learn. For that, thank you!
Watching someone riding a bike with full suspension very slowly is probably the most boring thing I have ever seen. Trek Top Fuel, right? Let go of those brakes sometimes. This bike has more potential than you think :) Cheers!
The weather also makes a huge impact. For drone flyers we have one source of light, the Sun! And when its cloudy it can really affect your footage. And if you want to sell your drone footage, the footage with sunlight is going to be more valuable (on average) than cloudy footage. Good video tho.
What if your whole show is based on capturing the moment, can be hard to plan your shots. I sometimes go back to the location the next day and get the footage I need.

I am a simple man, i just like flying out behind my house and sneaking up on deer in the fields
Lmao that’s hilarious 😂 would love to see that footage
It works well, you have to fly in just above ground level, so the field muffles the prop noise.. 🤣🤣.... It's easy for me because the field behind my house is flat so I don't have to follow any elevation changes
Great Tips jeven . Too many do landscape aerial shots of landscape through out the whole video. I agree🤙🏻
And fly "too high" not giving some sense of space and distances.

Love how this was uploaded right before i was about to go aimlessly fly
I know that filming trains may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I do just that. I use 2 ground cameras and my drone to film trains in remote areas to capture it all. It’s a great way to film
I agree. As a drone pilot and travel video maker myself, I see many people randomly fly drones without any clear mission. Even worse, they fly and annoy many people, which makes it harder for us drone pilots to operate.
I personally want to thank you. I definitely needed this because im working hard to niche down into drones and rc car content this year...

Excellent! I literally just started playing with a Mavic Air2. I’ve only had it in the air 3 times. Lol. This helped tremendously for once I get the hang of it.
I like the part telling not always using the big shots, you need to exclude some things from your shots and combine them into a storyline!
Thanks for all these tips! Your videos are always so useful!
Awesome work Jeven
Hey Jeven, another great video, thank you.

Great tips Jeven! thanks for sharing
Good as always Jeven!
Javen thanks for your great content.
I wish I had a drone still... RV Life and no drone, really curtails the possibilities.
My phantom 3 was killed (no video feed) by a coast guard helicopter that decided to come to the car show I was shooting.

Buy an fpv drone should be the only tip you need
Not everyone wants to fly FPV

Really
For me no drone video is boring
Most successful UA-camrs are busy telling everyone else how to do UA-cam videos whether it is criticizing products etc. as for whether anybody has an idea of a story what makes you an expert?

Useful tool but I agree that it’s overused at times
Telling a story is what it’s all about. Great video. Thank for making this Jeven!
Very good tips. Already applied some of it my footage. Slowly improving.
You didn't want drone video became boring???? Please tell the factory to make feature thats can set gyro off / on while fly.....😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great video! Thank you for sharing your experience, it is very helpful for me.
What if you don’t have a Mac for video editing, what would you recommend for a PC ?
I think putting rocket launched missiles on the drones will make them less boring
I always like watching your content it’s all helpful thank you
I used to just film everything and it made the edit so long, now for my hiking films I've been incredibly strategic with what I'm shooting which has drastically sped up my productions.
I'm watching this video because i don't have a drone🤒
I use an extra drone to film my drone filming for extra suspense...
