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.
