Thanks yet again Ted for these invaluable tuitional videos. I appreciate your approach of embracing the artistry of cinematography to evoke emotion. There is simply no other content of this quality & detail out there. Your insights show us there is no need to seek exotic locations, raging waterfalls or train chasing to produce beautiful and meaning cinematic results. I am excited now and will endeavour to focus on my composition and storytelling. Incidentally, what is that white item you regularly have in your hand when you are talking at length to the camera? With thanks from Australia 🙏
hey my flying filmmaker friend. Yup it often just takes a few seconds to pause thank think more like a landscape photographer and this really helps with composition & storytelling. I’m finishing a new episode now on the topic. Enjoy! and thank you for watching.
I'm so glad I found your channel! You're such a great teacher. I've learned so much from you in the week or so since I clicked subscribe. You've simplified my process and made capturing with my drone fun instead of stressful. I appreciate you!
yes! I love this comment. Thank you man. I’m a 51 year old fella and what I’ve finally started to learn is that most people spend the first half complicating, then after some experience & wisdom ….then they start simplifying. Just like life…..happiness is attained from the subtraction of things, not the addition of things.
Excellent quick and simple tutorial, there is a lot of homework to do and put into practice. Very educational and valuable Thank you for sharing your ideas and knowledge with everyone 👏👏
You are doing a brilliant job in sharing your experiences and skill sets.. I love that there's less emphasis on gears and more about the practical aspects that most tubers only gloss over. Thank you.
wow thank you for the kind words sir. And you are from Malaysia! Amazing. I have 2 friends of the channel here from Malaysia. They are amazing drone videographers. Welcome to our little international drone gang hangout. What type of drone shots do you like to shoot?
@@TedNemeth Yeah quite frequent. This hill is famous with sea of clouds but sometimes depend on luck. Need to drive about 2 hours from Kuala Lumpur to reach here 😄
Hi Deb. THank you. I haven’t visited your channel in a short while but I did just now. Love it. Albania wow. You do have lots of adventures. And loved the punk rock self bio. Myself as well. I grew up a punker in NYC and CBGBs.
hi Ravi. Thank you for watching and commenting. I see you haven’t posted any content yet. Can I help in any way?! What type of content do you like to shoot?
Hey Ted, I just finished my first pass through the book you recommended, "Mastering Composition". This video is an excellent review of the basics. If this is for beginners, the majority of the drone channels out there could benefit from your tips. Thanks again, for changing my approach to flying my cameras, LOVE what you share!
hey Scott! Many thanks my flying filmmaker friend. Congrats on your new Mini 4 and wanting to improve your skills. I just left you a note on your latest vid.
I'm seeing ur point more and more about scene grabbing and u use it so well.. I love the rule of thirds and leading lines u utilized .. a very strong composition as expected from the Great Ted... U were also right about being so overwhelmed as a newbie lol I spend most of my time worrying about the drone if it's gonna hit something or fall out of the sky rather than the scene itself.. ... ... Maybe after a little practice I will learn to trust my new friend 🙏🙏
I've seen your channel yet this video compelled me to subscribe and comment. I love your work and advice. For thirty years I worked as a photojournalist. Composition is a natural part of my life. Five years ago I was injured. My 7 lb. camera now weighs a ton and it takes two weeks to recover after I shoot something. The drone -- and its remote camera, however, are an amazing tool. It's so powerful to add movement an motion as we tell our stories. I look forward to creating a reel that will inspire you.
wow. Tony. I’ve been sitting at my computer all morning wondering how I can make content that provides more value, more entertainment, more interest because I feel like I’m not doing enough. Having a frustrating morning. Wow then I ready your kind words. Sorry to hear about your injury. So glad to hear about ur drone discovery! There’s a guy in my hometown here who became a quadriplegic from an accident. Didn’t know what to do next in life. Discovered drones and now he’s a working photographer. These testaments to our little flying cameras is just amazing. I know I’m obsessed with mine. So Tony what type of photos/vids do you like to shoot?!?
@@TedNemeth What I like shooting are images that tell stories and make a difference in the lives of my viewers. I wanto to photograph my world from a new perspective to show it on a grander scale. I'm new to flying and shot a beautiful cloud over Puget Sound, in Washington, today. I wasnt intending to photograph as I was working on precise flight.
You are a fab teacher Ted. Absolutely, we need to know the rules so ... we know eventually which ones to break :) Watching your gently reined looking-down shot, I was already plotting how to break them imagining your fluid catwalk-ing figure on the dock not stopping but stepping out the frame disappearing toward the water. My imagination went wild with options of where the story could go. Your composition lessons however do remind how rules help us bring balance in which chaos subsides. I admire your restrain, the way I admire Christina Aguilera's powerful voice projecting such softly tamed vocals. Thank you for holding my hand in my drone flying baby steps.
ha! you construct sentences. words are building blocks to your sentiment. Buckets of gratitude. You mentioned Christina Aguilera, she was a client of mine back when I was a famous leather craftsman. I made a custom coffee table for her & her husband. Was fun. Another life ago. Your support is the caffeine I needed.
Great tutorial. A lot of good information to have in your head while setting up a shot. Definitely a tutorial I’ll watch again to help me develop the right habits and “eye” to make more pleasing videos! Thanks Ted!
thank you my friend! Composition isn’t the most fun topic, but the good news is it quickly becomes second nature once you intentionally practice it for a short while. Things like camera movement are more dynamic, so more interesting.
Excellent! I envy your ability to not only recognize an artistic shot, but to pull it off with the ease of a professional. I still find myself primarily acting as a pilot, partially because when I started flying a decade ago, it was with drones without cameras, then those with very rudimentary ones. As much as I'd like to find and compose shots like these, it just doesn't come naturality. With the inspiration I get from your videos, I'll continue to work at the craft.
ah man thank you for the kind words. Just remember…..you’re only seeing my “greatest hits”. Same with any social media channel and photo book, etc. You don’t see the 99% of content that is crap/tragically average
@@TedNemeth While that is true, what you do post here truly inspires us all. It gives me hope that some of what you share will help me find the ability to see and compose what might otherwise be hidden in plain sight. Thank you for sharing you experience with us.
hey Connor. Yes my tip for flying through tight spaces is get prop guards. Seriously. And shoot in 60fps slow motion. The closer the drone is to objects the more you can see little jitters in the drone’s flight. The slow motion helps minimize that.
Hi Ted: I usually throw out the rule of thirds when I take pictures of cloud formations. What I see in the sky is much more interesting than that on the ground. Clouds are like snow flakes. There are no two alike. I especially like sun sets but the good ones can be few and far between.
Argentina! I subscribed to your channel. You seem to be a real active adventure filmmaker. All the things I love. I have yet to visit South America. Argentina is at the top of my list.
@@TedNemeth I do have a Mavic. I have only owned DJI drones. Flew my Air 2 into a lake. Sold my Mini2 and now have the Mavic 3. Cant wait for more of your videos.
Maaan... you deserve much more views of your tutorials, not only it's a gem when it comes to the knowledge you're passing but also the form which on its own confirms you know what you're talking about indeed - I'm happy to learn from you
hi Marion! Wow I am truly grateful for your kind words. Many thanks. And I see you ride motorcycles! Dude that is my passion. I’ve been riding & building motorcycles for over 30 years. Maybe we ride one day.
@@TedNemeth kind words well deserved :) as for the bikes... I'm riding for well over a decade, recently only adv and dual sport bikes (I used to like doing crazy shit bit too much and now have kids so need to moderate it a bit), got interested in drone filming just few weeks ago and bought my first drone (dji mini 2) for my trip to northern Vietnam in late April to ride lightweight enduro bike in rural areas and mountains for 9 days, so I should some have good opportunities for nice shots - hopefully learn and train enough by that time so I won't totally blow it :)
Great tutorial Ted. I'm not professionally trained nor has anyone really instructed me on the rule of thirds, composition etc, they just say it and expect that I know it lol. So I'm going to definitely study this video for my next drone flight
awesome Jason. Just remember that composition is different than camera movement. Keep them separate in your head. Composition is kinda boring topic, meaning its not as exciting as camera movement like: cool tracking shots, pan/tilt shots, etc. But composition is important to slowly develop over time. It becomes an intuition pretty quickly.
@@TedNemeth that's going to be a concept that I'm going to have to burn into my memory but it's not impossible to learn lol. If it helps improve my drone footage I want to learn it.
Subscribed a couple of weeks ago rang the bell. I even have a bookmark folder with some of your videos in it so I can find them easily. Then I realized I hadn't even hit the 'like' button for this video even though I've watched it four or five times now. Sorry about that. It has been liked now.
@@TedNemeth yes S5 and DJI Mini 3 Pro. Only had the drone up Twice so still not got my confidence up enough to fly super high or far at the moment haha but going well. It's hard in the UK at the moment, short days. It's dark by 4pm here.
@@TedNemeth did you get my last comment anyway I’m from Australia down under. 15th is the delivery shipment date hopefully it’s express and I will have the little puppy or frog in my hands by the end of next week do not party dance. LOL with my walker. Are you on Facebook
@@MadMax-vy9hk - ahhh Australia. Now I get the Mad Max handle. Absolutely one of my favorite movie series of all time. The original AND the new. Dude congrats on the Mini 3! I have to wait like 6 weeks to get one in New York.
@@TedNemeth Thank you I am looking very much forward to the 19th when it is due to be delivered. Wasn’t a great fan of the new Fury Road Mad Max but the original in the second were incredible movies and then they made the silly one with Tina Turner ThunderDome wasn’t a fan of that one. Can I ask how many tattoos do you have on your back now from orphanages I think. ?
Ted, I don't know I can use D-Cine setting any more, D-Cine mode gives me awful color, seams Desaturated color. very bad. Is something I didn't get right?
hey buddy. D-cine is supposed to be desaturate. The next step is to restore all the colors. I suggest not using it. It’s NOT a true log profile so it doesn’t give nearly enough benefits in dynamic range to justify the added step of taking the time to restore all the colors & exposure back to the way it was when being recorded…..which is a guess anyway.
good question. I don’t know. I tell ya….that “FOLLOW ME” mode in Litchi works great because its tracking mode doesn’t rely on the camera to follow the subject. It uses the GPS tracking to follow the controller. It’s pretty smooth. Not perfect….but in my testing it works better than the drone trying to track a subject using visual sensors.
Thanks Ted for another excellent video with your typically clear, easy to understand explanations. Blasting around having fun eh? That’s me that is! Like a barking dog chasing cars down the street. 😂 Still, the thought out planned stuff is fun too, editing it all together and seeing the end result can give a tremendous feeling of satisfaction.
hey Graham. Life is always part disciplined focus & part child-like exploration. Even outstanding humans like Richard Feynman continuously embrace child-like wonder & humor.
Hey Ted Mr. JanM from Denmark here. Really like your TH-cam stuff. Mostly because its not controlled by products and manufactores. And due to the relaxed atmosphere you create with your personality. With all that ass licking verbals in place 🤣🤛🏻 Which program and/or app do you use for your post production work? Just kidding! - I do like your material of exact those reasons. Hope to hear from you soon Kind regards Mr. JanM
hey Ted, I love your videos. I uploaded a video to my channel as a promo/ mega mix. I'd love you to have a look. I'm considering upgrading to the mini 3 eventually. but when you can grab epic footage with the mini 2 there's no massive rush.
hey my friend. I watched your promo reel. really well done. I couldn’t give you any feedback or recommendations until I learn a bit more. I have a few questions. Send me an email & I’ll reply with a few pointed questions: tedn@hotmail.com
Here's the deal. You have choices. You could attend a four year film school and wind up discharged with a B.A. degree that nobody really cares about. The upside? You get to postpone adulthood for four more years. The downside, you'll be more than a quarter of a million dollars in the hole paying for the privilege of the debt. Option two, you could knock around for four years in an autodidactic loop hoping to hitch your wagon to some Hollywood so-and-so who will pay you peanuts to be called a "flunky". And then, there's option three. Learn from the ground up the proper way to shoot aerial video and photography from someone who knows what they're talking about. Ted has assembled all the tools you need to begin shooting without aimless guesswork. Watch his videos. See if they spark your interest. Use the techniques he lays out. Then, compare your results to work you've done in the past. Is it better? Be honest. If it is, integrate the process into every setup you undertake. And, as the saying goes, "let your conscience be your guide" and throw a few bucks Ted's way for having made a quantum improvement in your approach. I don't know Ted personally, but I can't help but think that he's an invaluable resource for ALL aspiring aereographers (did I just coin a new name?). Compare the insane cost of film school to sending ten or twenty bucks to a guy who knows what he's talking about and teaches it so well. And, if you truly cannot afford to make a donation in the form of money, at the very least let him know that you're getting something of value from his labor. OK, that's all I wanted to say. Just going to bat for a true TH-cam gem and a hell of a good teacher. Pax.

❤ this was so cool ! Great tutorial !!!
Ted, I don't know I can use D-Cine setting any more, D-Cine mode gives me awful color, seams Desaturated color. very bad. Is something I didn't get right?
hey buddy. D-cine is supposed to be desaturate. The next step is to restore all the colors. I suggest not using it. It’s NOT a true log profile so it doesn’t give nearly enough benefits in dynamic range to justify the added step of taking the time to restore all the colors & exposure back to the way it was when being recorded…..which is a guess anyway.
Your a genious sir thanks much🫡🫡
Does Litchi work with Mini 3 Pro?
good question. I don’t know. I tell ya….that “FOLLOW ME” mode in Litchi works great because its tracking mode doesn’t rely on the camera to follow the subject. It uses the GPS tracking to follow the controller. It’s pretty smooth. Not perfect….but in my testing it works better than the drone trying to track a subject using visual sensors.
Thanks Ted for another excellent video with your typically clear, easy to understand explanations.
Blasting around having fun eh? That’s me that is! Like a barking dog chasing cars down the street. 😂
Still, the thought out planned stuff is fun too, editing it all together and seeing the end result can give a tremendous feeling of satisfaction.
hey Graham. Life is always part disciplined focus & part child-like exploration. Even outstanding humans like Richard Feynman continuously embrace child-like wonder & humor.

thanks buddy
Hey Ted
Mr. JanM from Denmark here. Really like your TH-cam stuff. Mostly because its not controlled by products and manufactores. And due to the relaxed atmosphere you create with your personality.
With all that ass licking verbals in place 🤣🤛🏻 Which program and/or app do you use for your post production work?
Just kidding! - I do like your material of exact those reasons.
Hope to hear from you soon
Kind regards
Mr. JanM
hey Ted, I love your videos. I uploaded a video to my channel as a promo/ mega mix. I'd love you to have a look. I'm considering upgrading to the mini 3 eventually. but when you can grab epic footage with the mini 2 there's no massive rush.
hey my friend. I watched your promo reel. really well done. I couldn’t give you any feedback or recommendations until I learn a bit more. I have a few questions. Send me an email & I’ll reply with a few pointed questions: tedn@hotmail.com
Here's the deal. You have choices. You could attend a four year film school and wind up discharged with a B.A. degree that nobody really cares about. The upside? You get to postpone adulthood for four more years. The downside, you'll be more than a quarter of a million dollars in the hole paying for the privilege of the debt. Option two, you could knock around for four years in an autodidactic loop hoping to hitch your wagon to some Hollywood so-and-so who will pay you peanuts to be called a "flunky". And then, there's option three. Learn from the ground up the proper way to shoot aerial video and photography from someone who knows what they're talking about. Ted has assembled all the tools you need to begin shooting without aimless guesswork. Watch his videos. See if they spark your interest. Use the techniques he lays out. Then, compare your results to work you've done in the past. Is it better? Be honest. If it is, integrate the process into every setup you undertake. And, as the saying goes, "let your conscience be your guide" and throw a few bucks Ted's way for having made a quantum improvement in your approach. I don't know Ted personally, but I can't help but think that he's an invaluable resource for ALL aspiring aereographers (did I just coin a new name?). Compare the insane cost of film school to sending ten or twenty bucks to a guy who knows what he's talking about and teaches it so well. And, if you truly cannot afford to make a donation in the form of money, at the very least let him know that you're getting something of value from his labor. OK, that's all I wanted to say. Just going to bat for a true TH-cam gem and a hell of a good teacher. Pax.
yeeeeahhhh buddy! Wow I bow to your good graces sir. Thank you for such incredible support my friend.
