Guy,
Have just started a Youtube channel and love SUP Surfing so thought that I would try to make some SUP Surf Video's with my drone. I have placed a link below to the first attempt and really wanted the feedback of the guys who would know best if I am on the right track or not. I know that I was too high and plan on the next video to get much lower to the action but would really appreciate your views so I can improve my skills. Oh and if you like the video please like, Share and Subscribe to my channel.
Thanks in advance,
Laith
Here are a few comments - hope they help.
You already know the drone was too high. The closer you get to the action the better, and a mixture of front view, above view, and "follow-me" view (if it can be done) would be great.
I have to confess that I cut out at 3 minutes. 7 minutes is a long YouTube video unless the viewer has a ton of time or the vid is truly enthralling.
If I am watching surf/SUP vids, I like the vid to concentrate on the action. Some vids you see spend the first minute or more with fluff "scene setting" video - the beach, the location, a flower, a cloud etc. - personally I prefer surf/SUP vids to have 95% surf/SUP action with transitions of cool imagery. In your vid (what I saw) you had some great shots of the rocks/seaweed under the paddler and some other cool scenes - I would use them to transition between surfers/action not as the main feature.
All of these are my personal opinions...
Thanks a heap for the feedback, taken on board and much appreciated mate I will post again when I get time to do another video and hopefully have a few things sorted out a bit better. Again thanks for your time and opinion.
Cheers
Laith
