Today, I'm going to be doing aerial video on this beautiful 2500 square foot home in North Scottsdale, Arizona. I'm excited to get started and capture some amazing footage.
As I survey the area, I notice a tree nearby that could be an obstacle, but it won't stop me from getting the shots I need. I quickly double-check my settings and make sure I'm using the Mavic Air 2 set to 4k wide and 30 frames per second HDR video. With everything set up, I hit record and take off.
Starting wide, I slowly ascend and reveal the stunning mountain range in the background. The shot is perfect, and I'm clear of the tree. As I fly around, I notice some beautiful houses and a small palm tree, so I take advantage of the location and capture some diverse shots.
When I come back around to the property, I want to keep my eyes on the drone while staying out of the shot, as it can be challenging to remove people from drone footage. I try using the spotlight or active track point of view, but it doesn't quite work, so I decide to fly towards the house while keeping the camera locked onto it.
Next, I try to get a top-down shot, so I position the drone to capture the house from the side. The aerial videos I usually shoot are usually no more than a minute long, but I like having options, so I record everything.
Dropping down closer to the pool, I get some beautiful shots of the backyard. I notice there are no obstacles, so I take the opportunity to capture some great footage. Shooting in 4k, I can digitally zoom if needed.
Finally, I decide to get some aerial shots of the house from above. I aim for the sky to show about 1/3 of the frame and slowly pan around 360 degrees. As I'm up there, I keep an eye out for any additional amenities in the area, such as golf courses.
In the end, I'm confident that I got some fantastic footage that will make the walkthrough video more interesting. Aerial videos can get boring if you don't diversify your shots, so I'm glad I was able to capture a variety of angles and perspectives. If you have any questions on how to shoot aerial video like this, feel free to reach out. See you on the next one!
