Thank you so much-it’s really appreciated! I’ll definitely remember you when I hit 1 million subs… 😂 (Just kidding) Cheers for being one of the first on board! 🙌
This is great for a first video. As well, the quality of the footage and audio is pretty decent. If you are just planning on documenting progress with the drone, then this form of video is perfect, so keep it up. If you want to get better at the whole UA-cam video aspect of it I would recommend waiting for the full sound of a word to be heard before cutting to the next sound bite as it sounds a little choppy sometimes and another thing to be aware of is that UA-cam videos that garner attention usually tell a story right especially when it comes to learning. So emphasizing overall progression is very good. For example, being nervous and hesitant with the hand launch to being less so or talking about the more niche problems that you have and how you overcame them. All in all, very good video, just kind of wonder what direction you would like to go with the channel.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and leave such a thoughtful comment! I really appreciate the feedback and tips-especially about the audio cuts and storytelling. Letting a word fully land before transitioning makes total sense, and I’ll definitely work on making the flow smoother in future videos. I agree the audio could have been better-I only did one take. I have a bad habit of procrastinating and really wanted to get something out there instead of stalling forever, so I’ll aim to find a better balance next time.
Right now, my goal is to document this drone journey-whatever that may turn into! I don’t have a fixed idea yet, but I’d love to improve both my drone skills and video creation skills along the way. I also love your point about emphasizing progression, like showing my journey from nervous hand launches to feeling more confident. That’s such a great idea, and I’ll definitely think about how I can share more of those learning moments moving forward.
As for the direction of the channel, I’m planning to document my progress as a drone pilot while experimenting with video creation. Hopefully, I can share both the fun and challenges of being a beginner with others who might be starting their own journeys, while also showcasing some of the beauty of Northumberland.
Thanks again for the encouragement and advice-comments like this mean a lot!
I got dji for Xmas....going to have a go doing a film myself. Hope it's as good as your 1st attempt
Thanks so much for the kind words! That’s great and congrats on the DJI! You’re going to have so much fun with it. Just get out there, experiment, and enjoy. Can’t wait to see what you come up with! 😊
Hi you will get used to flying the drone soon , its all about practice and practice i have mini 4 pro, Air 3 aswell its a good hobby , just need to be more steady on the sticks to get smooth footage 👌
I flew my drone for the first time in November and what a great feeling. My video wasn't as polished as yours.
Like you I wanted to make the flight look as authentic as possible.
New subscriber 👍
Nice one atb Taff 🤠👊
Thanks so much for subscribing and for the kind words! It really is such a great feeling to finally get in the air after all that prep and waiting, isn't it? This was just a small section of my first flight-trust me, there were definitely plenty of unpolished moments too! 😂
I'm glad you thought it came off as authentic. For now, I’m just documenting my journey, showing some of the places I visit, and trying to improve along the way. Let’s see where it goes! Excited to check out your channel too! 👊
