เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 24 ธ.ค. 2018
Ship Therapy is exactly that. Using a drone we film big ships arriving and departing port in 4K, edit the footage, set it to music, and invite you to enjoy the results. My passionate interest in these vessels - container ships, passenger liners and tankers - led me to find that watching their huge forms arriving and departing port to be very relaxing - somewhat therapeutic! They are called "Chases" because once we are airborne the chase is on to intercept the vessel and get the best angles, both distant and close, to give you the most interesting ride, and get home safely within battery, weather and airspace limitations. Sometimes I capture Marine VHF exchanges and overlay some of both the formal calls and the radio chatter, always with captions to help viewers follow the dialogue.

Ship Chase 62 - Maersk Piper - a big tanker for my last chase for a while
มุมมอง 1.8K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Yes, my last chase for a while, and what a fabulous ship to finish on. The Maersk Piper is a big tanker, and after a repaint she is looking magnificent as she cruises serenely out of Botany Bay on her way to Brisbane. We cover every angle of this impressive ship before bidding her farewell. On the way back we come across a whale - it's either a humpback or a southern right whale. There are larg...
Ship Chase 61 (Short version) - MSC Phoenix departs Botany Bay - Mavic Pro in 4K
มุมมอง 2154 ปีที่แล้ว
At 300 x 40m the MSC Phoenix is a big ship, and we chase her as she heads out of Port Botany bound for Melbourne. It's a very windy day, and I struggled to get the Mavic back to the coast. Just made it with 0% battery indicated! I thought I'd learnt my lesson after Ship Chase 17! Strangely, rather than being damaged, the battery now performs better than it did before! Must be right what they sa...

Ship Chase 60 (short version) - Mary - container ship leaves Port Botany - Mavic Pro in 4K
มุมมอง 1644 ปีที่แล้ว
The Mary is a big but graceful looking container ship with a real presence on the water, and she's got quite a load on board as she departs Botany Bay bound for Adelaide in bright sunshine. The fast moving 4 to 6m swell is pounding the coast, but we see that Mary makes easy progress through it. We get both elevated and close-up detail, including the pilot's disembarkation on the port side ladde...

We catch these two impressive container ships as they pass in the entrance to Botany Bay. The YM Eternity has quite a big load on board as she arrives from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and we get lots of nice detail as we complete a slow 360° wrap right around her. Then it's a chase to catch the magnificent COSCO Hamburg. I do a slow track up the port side before dwelling on that incredible bow. Heavily ...

On a beautiful sunny Sydney day we catch the huge MSC Pegasus as she departs Port Botany for Melbourne, and the impressive Maersk Izmir as it arrives from Tauranga, NZ. It's breezy, with a low swell, but we get plenty of angles and detail on the ships. We meet them both from my favourite perspective - head on. I'm fascinated by the way the water flows over and around the bulbous bow on these bi...
Ship Chase 57 - STI San Antonio tanker departs Botany Bay - Mavic Pro 4K

The fire-engine-red STI San Antonio cruises out of Botany Bay in bright sunshine and on a low swell. She's a mid-sized chemical/oil products tanker and we meet her head on (because we like that). It's an excellent day for filming, and we get plenty of detail from all angles, including the pilot's disembarkation. Apart from a single transition early in the video this is a continuous, unbroken ta...
Ship Chase 56 - Ital Lirica container ship arrives at Port Botany - Mavic Pro 4K
มุมมอง 2835 ปีที่แล้ว
Another well turned out container ship, the Ital Lirica arrives at Botany Bay from Melbourne with a modest load of containers on board. Her green hull reminds me of the Evergreen fleet colours, and her operator, Italia Shipping, is actually a subsidiary of Evergreen. She looks very tidy as she glides in on a fine day with a light northerly wind and a low swell. Hope you enjoy the chase. Please ...

The Melina is a medium size container ship and we greet her as she arrives at Port Botany from Auckland, NZ. She is a well turned out, attractive vessel, with a reasonable load on board. Conditions are fine with a light easterly breeze and a low swell. A short but very enjoyable chase, and I hope you find it so!

The Charlie B is a nice looking container ship, and we catch her arriving at Port Botany from Bell Bay, Tasmania. She's a classic self-loader, with two forward and aft facing cranes and with low freeboard amidships. A very well-presented vessel, we meet her as she reaches the Botany Bay heads. We hear the marine VHF exchanges between the ship's pilot and Sydney VTS (Vessel Traffic Service), inc...

The weather made this a challenging chase as the Coral Actinia LPG tanker headed out into a heavy swell and the ANL Elanora container ship approached the port. My launch was delayed by a passing shower, and in the 30kph easterly wind I needed Sport mode to catch the Coral Actinia, a smart-looking specialist gas carrier. The chase was rewarded with a great view of the ship being pounded by fast-...

Nice footage!
Nice footage of Mary. Well done!
Amazing video, the scenery is beautiful. I miss your videos!!
An amazing video with good information and absolutely amazing footage. Thank you for the video
Amazing footage! I would love to use some it in an upcoming video of mine if that's alright? More than happy to credit you in the video as well :)
This is my first ship when I was engine cadet that time way back 2020, and now this ship was already sold to the other company name msc harmony III
Beautifully presented. I've missed your videos over the last couple of years. I hope this means there is more to come. Thank you for putting this together.
Good to see you back my friend! Very interesting history on this coal carrier. The mix of static black and white pictures with the drone shots works very well and gives a nice narrative sense of story telling.
Great vid and welcome back after 3years 👍😀
Great footage yet again! What a weather this is. Tough one! Is it possible for me to use and upload this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, inland barge ships, navy, etc. Of course full credit and a link to your TH-cam page will be given when I upload. If you want to talk this through via e-mail, that's also possible. My email is on my youtube page. I'm looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Thanks

WE MISS YOUR VIDEOS HOPE WE SEE AGAIN YOUR VIDEOS
Greetings from Bolga 4K in Norway. 🇳🇴 I’m really enjoying your ship chases. It’s really cool the way you position your drone directly in front of the ships and then wait for them to approach you. Great proximity footage. I’m curious to know whether you ever experience any signal interference based on being so close to the surface of the water and having these massive ships in between you and your remote controller? What about seagulls and other sea birds? Sorry about the barrage of questions, but I’m actually here to get some ideas for my own ship chasing videos. I’ve tended to remain at a higher elevation in hopes of avoiding the birdies. 😊 So far, so good.
5.000 dwt ?
Hi, it is very nice movie! I am owner of this tanker. Are we able to use this movie on our company’s Instagram?
This is a big one ! Nice shots !
Extraordinarily beautiful video of these iconic vessels. I've lost count of how many times I've travelled on these ferries, and stepping aboard was always accompanied with a sense of awe and excitement, that this was something uniquely "Sydney" and very special. Now being replaced by the smaller Emerald class ferries, I wonder how these new vessels will cope with the massive ocean swells on the Manly crossing. Lots of cancelled services, I would imagine. Are they as capable as the larger ferries in these conditions? I guess time will tell. The Freshwater ferries embody the spirit of Sydney and are recognised national symbols, and as much as I like the new Emerald class ferries and enjoy scooting around the harbour on various jaunts, they will never have the same magic. As the Freshwater ferries disappear from service, Sydney will lose part of its soul.
My first ship❤️
Really excellent steady shooting. Thanks very handsome vessel and gorgeous bow. Great work! :-)
Beautiful, work. Mice to sesame vessels in Australian waters. :-)
Hello Can you send me your contact number for shipping bitumen
hello, i was onboard that vessel at that exact moment! so cool to see her again <3
Can't see you😢

Hi my name is Felice and I live in Italy, I am 58 years old and I am a former sailor of ships that transport gas. Outside the port of Dubai for several days there is an Italian ship called Marola. I'm looking for someone who can make me a small 2 minute video on this ship for my personal memory. My facebook is (Felice Vermiglio) Ficarazzi. Thank you
Good job Mate)
Many thanks for this and well done for the lovely video! i worked on the MV Freshwater to install and commission the monitoring systems for the machinery spaces, e.g. engine room. I still remember being onboard when she launched. And when we sailed her down the coast from the State Dockyard at Newcastle and sailed in through The Heads to an amazing welcome on a beautiful day.
Awesome shots mate, how'd you get permission to be within the 50km Airport thing. Its awesome, I'd love to see what I can do in that area one day 🤟

Hi Phil, I've watched this film just today. My condolences for your first Mavic Pro. Mine Pro is still flying, but I already had several problematic flights. Your film did teached my that safety and awareness must be our main concern. Fortunately you already have another drone, keep it safe! Regards from Brazil!
Great production! I liked the way the drone meet the vessel and does like a courtship dance in front.
The end with the whale was very special. Come back soon, Phil.
closer to the camera ... see above ... good job
Nice footage of an incredible ship! I live in Hobart too and try to fly my drone when ever I can to the ships!
Your vids are a beautiful !! Therapeutic they are !!
Loved it may you have fair winds and following seas for all videos from here on out !! Definitely great Therapy !! Once a day keeps the Doc away !! Keep it up !!
