Drone and Action Camera Storytelling

If your desire is mostly creative excellence, then you will find this is one of very few courses available anywhere that focuses on the creative aspects of drone and action camera videography. A camera mounted on a flying or moving machine is a magical tool for storytelling. It's also a recipe for hours of almost useless footage. That, anyone can do. But if you are interested in telling stories with this equipment, then you've come to the right place. This course demonstrates how to use the drone and action camera as camera platforms. These are two very different disciplines. This course does not attempt to teach specific drone operations because every drone is different. But all are the same when it comes to capturing footage that is useful in an editing environment. I'm a storyteller and professional filmmaker with 38 years in TV production and YouTube, and I have like so many before me, had to come to grips with the ability to place a camera almost anywhere I want. But in this learning curve, I have realised that drones are far easier to fly than they are to operate as a flying camera. It's so easy to get good shots. But to get a remarkable shots, isn't. And to get shots useful in an edit environment, is even harder. Action cam and aerial footage has become commonplace, to the point of being ordinary. This is because the new generation of camera drones have opened exciting portals to creativity. But here is the challenge: Only by capturing remarkable footage can one's creativity stand apart.This course is for those that need help mostly with the second part. While we demonstrate these skills with consumer-oriented photographic drones, all these lessons apply with even the most advanced, heavy-lift machines.Subjects in this course include:Take full advantage when positioning a drone camera.Plan shots before takeoff. The vital key to success is the 10-second rule for abundant B-Roll. The biggest problem - solved.
