Operating the camera on the drone was a very cool experience.

Totally Fun | Drone Photography

I recently got the chance to learn how to operate and film with the camera on an aerial drone. I went out on a shoot that was on a closed set and had way more fun than I even imaged I’d have. Getting to compose shots from a camera gimbal on a drone offers a totally different perspective, and opens the flood gates on the possibilities of composition. Not only did I have to think about panning and tilting the camera, but the elevation, speed, and angle of the drone all came into play when composing a cool looking moving video shot. I worked hand-in-hand with the drone operator when composing shots, and often found that it was a team effort when it came to “getting the shot”. I can not wait to do more of this.
