    My Drone Cinematography MasterClass is FINISHED!
    Hey Flying Camera Crew! Welcome to another playful beginner drone tutorial for more cinematic drone footage. The whole gist here is drone beginners are spending a disproportionate amount of time on drone nd filters and drone settings: a huge distraction from creativity & practicing cinematography, which are the only true path to cinematic drone footage.

      I'm confused, Ted. As a beginner, I'm really gravitating towards your instructional videos compared to the other many channels, because I like your focus more on the artistic approach, rather than obsessing over the settings.
      BUUUUUT...in this video, you favored the ND64 filter as your go-to during mid-day flight....but 6 months ago, during one of your videos, you were all about the ND32.
      So what changed your mind between then and now?

    This was so informative Ted. Trying to learn drone cinematography on most YT channels has led to so much procrastination that creativeness gets suffocated. Always appreciate how you try to emphasise on cinematography/creativity to enable newbies like me to actually go out and film. Bravo, Sir 👏🏻👏🏻

      Thank you Paul! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Yup it’s easy to get overly distracted by the hundreds of settings & accessories available in our hobby. It’s a pretty complicated hobby compared to a hobby like…..water color painting. Much less distractions/options.

    Yours is my favorite Drone Channel! Having your focus being the act of creation rather than emersion in technical minutiae makes perfect sense to me (now). Considering your drone to be a "Tripod in the sky," is a great way to look at the craft of aerial imagery and I try to remember to practice that way. Lastly, and mostly, I applaud your enthusiasm. Great Spirit, man!

As a drone newbie who is still spending a lot of bandwidth thinking about keeping it in the air and avoiding obstacles, your minimalist approach to settings is attractive!! I've don't my first few practice sessions in full auto and agree that the algorithm ( Mini4Pro) is fluid and accurate! Just subscribed and look forward to catching up with your non-conventional wisdom.

    Fantastic video Ted, with some absolute gems! I particularly love the idea of thinking of myself as a landscape videographer. Its so odd, but as a landscape photograpger who started making videos, it has never occurred to me before to think of myself as a landscape videographer, yet that's such a perfect fit! And I think you're spot on that thinking of myself that way, and as a Storyteller too, will make a big shift in my work.
    I'm still fairly new to drone filming, but I immediately was more interested in learning what looked good and trying to practice aerial cinematography than the technical aspects. I spent one day letting my partner fly it, because I thought he'd do a better job than me (because hes a pilot 🤣) and as I watched him zooming it all over the place I realised that not only did the way he flew it cause me anxiety, but more importantly he would likely never film shots the way I'd like, because to him it was about flying, whereas to me it was about filming. We both decided he wouldnt fly it again 😄

    Hi Ted, been watching your channel here in the UK for a while now and i just love your simplistic aproach on this and the way you concentrate more on the creative side rather than getting bogged down with all those confusing settings and just waisting your valuable flying time.
    I was getting lost in a see of videos regarding ND filters and so confused as to what ones I should buy and use for for any given situation or weather conditions, that was untill I watched this one, I am now going order just the nd64 for video and an nd1000 for long exposure photos 👌
    Keep up the good work my friend and thanks for keeping it reel 👊

      Andy you wrote an incredible note here. I’m SUPER grateful you found value in my playful tutorials. When i was a beginner i listened to all the TH-cam drone experts and ended up wasting time on all the wrong things. So i did a bunch of testing and found what worked for me. This channel is me sharing what worked for me. And I’m still learning and testing and sharing. It never ends. Thankfully!

  • @gekoldronevideos
    @gekoldronevideos 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Ted, you are so right👍👌👊I know, but sometimes it’s fun to experiment with some filters. In auto great results can be achieved and a profile like D-log (M) is usefull if you want to colorgrade. The exposure lock is a good way to prevent exposure changes. To get some motion blur and protect te lens I mostly use ND16, 32 or NDPL. In most scenario’s that just fine. Greetings from 🇳🇱

  • @armandoferreira8790
    @armandoferreira8790 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hi Ted
    I mostly use auto while filming and manual for photo.
    When I had the Mini1 on sunny days my filter was the ND32. On cloudier days I try the ND16 or even ND8 before taking off and use the entire session.
    Now with the Mini3 Pro I start with the ND64 or ND64PL depending where I am flying.
    I tend to have my videos a little under exposed and correct on post.

    You speak beautifully - the content, the flow, your fabulous sense of humor, and all. I think we all have to go through a first stage of just flying, filming it all, and learning not to crash. To me, drone filming versus filming on the land is more like underwater deep diving versus just swimming, where we must master the additional, terribly disorienting dimensions and elements. You are mastering this sphere fast, and we benefit from your sharing your progress with us.

    Nice one Ted, my drone videos have got worse over the last couple of months, mainly because I'm arsing about in manual, constantly swapping nd filters and generally lollygagging around changing from this setting to that setting, in fact I haven't flown for a couple of weeks as I've lost my creative mojo. I'm not concentrating on the importance of subject, light, composition, positioning, it's so obvious now having watched your video, especially as my gimble videos have got better. I just put my I phone on cinematic setting or slow motion and away I go letting the iPhone take care of all the exposure settings. I'm truly fully concentrating on the shot and the subject and my next move and where I'm going with the shot, thanks Ted, your a great inspiration.

    • @TedNemeth
      @TedNemeth  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Philip what you said is EXACTLY what I went through a few years ago. That’s when I realized all these youtube drone “experts” are all just copying each others episodes. I did my own testing on all the settings and found what really worked: let the algorithm handle the technical real-time adjustments so now i can focus on the creativity.
      Definitely fun again. Thanks for watching Philip and taking the time to leave a kind supportive comment.

    Another great and useful episode Ted! A couple of comments / observations... Primarily, and this was just kind of lucky for me... I just happened upon your channel right at the time I was getting ready to buy my Mini 3, and between your content and engaging presentation style, I ended up viewing most of your content before actually doing any real shooting... What this did, believe it or not, was to help me NOT get mired down in the "Myopathy of the settings and filters" bit and it helped me to avaoid the frustration and discouragement that would have surely resulted from my out of control ADHD, so that I could focus on exploring from a very different angle and sharing what I find. The few project I have been able to make time for this summer, were way beyond even my wildest hope, and I really believe that it was becasue of your emphasis on minimizing anything that does not directly relate to composition and visual storytelling. That emphasis, is probably your biggest strength. On the topic of the ND filters though... While I agree that most daytime shots can be done just fine with an ND64 in auto-exposure, I am in California's Central Valley / Delta area, and the lighting here tends to be very harsh, so my suggestion is that while most chots can be done with ND64 or no filter, there are 2 others that can actually come in handy... an ND128 can make a huge difference on really bright days when there is a lot of reflective moisture in the air, and, believe it or not, an unshaded polarizing filter not only can tighten up some of our gorgeous Delta sunsets, but also can provide just a bit of added protection for the camera lens. Thank you for your helpful insights. I like many others actually look forward to new content drops on your channel. The gift of your experiences is truly well-received.

      When I'd come home and plug my SD card into my "smart tv" ...... I was ruined. Most of my footage was stuttering and choppy and some static.
      Guess what......? My TV is not 4k. Sonofabitch!!!

      Charlie I really appreciate it good sir. You’re a physics teacher?! Love it. I’ve become obsessed with quantum entanglement. About 10 years ago I learned about that phenomenon and realized there is an invisible communication matrix in the universe that allows correlated particles to communicate. “Spooky action at a distance.”….is how Albert Einstein described it. For the last 80 years the smartest minds in the world can’t crack that mystery. I guess it’ll take a quantum computer to inform us?

    Great video Ted; minimalist 👍; I always use auto settings for footage, but have two filters, a UV, which has been on my M3Pro for months, agree with the ND64, which I use if capturing video only, however, I rarely use it as I like to take photos as well and a shutter speed of 1/50 results in motion blurred photos, as the “flying camera” is not on a tripod.
    I use maps, street view, sun positions and such like before I arrive at a location and can then concentrate on the aspects you suggest, not on filters and settings.
    Keep up the good work 👌
