You do not need to be a professional to create amazing videos with your drone! However, there are some things you can improve on if you'd wish to take better footage.
Especially if you're shooting for business and marketing purposes. Here at Studio52, we've created thousands of marketing-related videos with our drones, and today we decided to help you take better videos with yours!
Taking It Slow and Low
It's all about taking it slow. Especially at the beginning. If you fly through the sky and keep jerking your drone from one random direction to the other, the footage will look distorted and awful. Try and move your drone slowly through the air without any sudden changes in motion and direction you're moving in. This will create much more beautiful and immersing footage.
The lower you fly your drone, the greater the sense of motion you'll have (not to mention your audience). High altitudes create footage that's hard to concentrate on and that shows too much with no sense of focus.
Try practicing your slow and low flying by shooting that classic reveal-style shoots. Pick an attractive and interesting focal point, such as a building, a groove, a statue, or another. Place your drone to a standstill in front of the chosen focal point and hit record. After you've done so, fly very slowly to one side or above the object. You can also keep the drone at the same height as the object and move the drone slowly across the frame to reveal the subject and then revolve around it. Some drones will allow you to fly in autonomous orbit with a perfect circle around the object.
This method always creates a perfect video!
