Here's my TVR filmed from above

[MPETT]

My friend and I filled this using a DJI inspire last summer. What do you think?

Very nice, but it needs to end with the sound of those lovely cars blasting off into the distance

Good wee film but this ^^ You can't have a film about TVRs and not have some engine noise.

Made me long for summer.

Very nice. Quite amazing what you can do it a decent drone and a GoPro. It's really changed production values all over YouTube and this, fine sir, is a damn good one.

What equipment did you use specifically?

[lesstatt]

Very clever indeed, agree it needs some engine noise though

My mate used a dji inspire 1 with 4k camera. Post production and editing was with after effects and premier pro.

Agree on the sound. I'll have to see if he can edit some in at the end.

P.s. Do you think there might be an interest by car enthusiasts like we find here on PH to pay for this kind of material/video? I'm doing my practical test soon and am considering my options. Roof surveys are obvious, but it would be so much fun to film. Petrol heads in their cars in beautiful places!

Hundreds of people make a living out of aerial photography and r/c piloting.
It takes immense skill and also some insurance. You've got to be good to make a living.

I've seen it used in property development, and the obvious like action sports and geographic expeditions

Fantastic camera work. looks brilliant.

Totally ruined for me by the addition of foo fighters.

The wheels go backwards thought is was a Wild West movie so I was waiting for the arrows

Not the best selection of music for the fantastic footage.

Re the music...., he was actually learning to fly. He'd only had it a few months!! The amount of out takes with swearing and near misses was quite impressive!!

But I'm watching a film about two cars hooning through the countryside, not a bloke with a quad copter learning to fly it.

See about editing a different piece of music over it and the V8 roar. I think it'd be great.

Agree, can I suggest 'lark ascending' by Vaughan Williams as the music, and then have the TVR pipes fading in and out as the ground footage is seen.

My younger brother is very much into this whole drone malarkey at the moment. In fact he gave up a very well paid job in IT to pursue it as a career. He has both DJI and a massive eight rota drone capable of carrying 20kg onto which he bolts a huge DSLR camera. He is also CAA qualified
In fact he is taking it so seriously he is organising a drone film festival later this year and currently has over 150 entries in various classes. He too is looking for car related work

I played that on another page and watched the vid of the TVR's with the sound 'clicked' off.
Yea not bad.

I chose Vaughan Williams, one because he's British, the TVR's being the same, and lark ascending because the Drone is rather like the lark that he saw that inspired him to write it while in the Shropshire hills.
I'd suggest the middle of the of the tune as it opens up with strings, plus there isn't enough of the vid to cover the track length.

Anyway, can't go wrong with this for any car vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQIRbV_noi8
