I started working on a short clip showing all my videos from my first 6 months in Maui but I got sidetracked when I got to the footage of the humpback whales I had from February 2014. There was such an overwhelming response that I wanted to make a longer one showing the entire interaction between the mother and her newborn calf. These animals are so amazing and they deserve to have their majesty observed and respected to that we can be inspired to care for their home. Music is "That Age is Gone Now Pt. 1" by Sorrow.

Ok, I this has nothing to do with drones, quadcopters, or RC but I wanted to post it anyway. The Maui Aquarium has always been my favorite aquarium because of the shark tank with 5 different types of sharks and tons of huge ulua (jacks). I always assumed the only way I was ever going to get in that tank was to volunteer to vacuum up fish poop. Turns out you can go for a 40 minute dive in the tank for $200, and this was what my wife got me for my birthday. The sheer concentration of big fish makes this a memorable dive and I recommend it if you come visit Maui. Maui Aquarium Shark Dive from Justin Edwards on Vimeo. My friend Kelly put together another cool video he shot partially on his DJI Phantom. Being able to shoot action sports from an aerial perspective adds so much production value to regular videos. For all of us who like making short semi interesting videos this is huge! Aerial photography tip: If you are just getting into shooting aerial photography, try adding in a second camera somewhere on the ground or on your subject to help add depth and perspective. I have started doing it more lately and it makes the videos so much more interesting. It does not matter if you just take a 5 second clip with your smartphone while you take off, it just makes the video more fun to watch. Watch how Kelly uses this tip to make this racing video exciting. |
