    Many of you are curious about my background in filmmaking. Along with my business partner Eldad, I own and operate www.mn8films.com. We have traveled to many parts of the world filming and producing marketing content for companies such as Triumph Motorcycles, Harley Davidson Motorcycles, Indian Motorcycle and Monster Energy. We are also in the middle of finishing our own feature length documentary about the fastest motorcycles in the world. Check the trailer out: ruclips.net/video/obtG4f3-c8k/видео.html Thanks for watching!

      I'm watching another amazing video, and you are talking about how good camp fire cooking is, if you ever get a wild hair, I live in Arkansas, and my dad, hands down, can show you campfire and cast iron cooking that will literally blow your socks off!! As an Eagle Scout and growing up with my dad and HIS Westfalia, I have memories on memories of camping and cooking and eating. Maybe a series of some sort. Love the Videos! Jealous as hell!! Be Safe, peace.

    I don’t want you to take this the wrong way but I think the first 2/3’s of the video of you just working in silence was absolutely perfect. No commentary needed. Just a man in a harsh environment taking to work. It was so peaceful but the introspective moments spoke for themselves. I enjoyed that very much. Amazing content buddy!

    *** DRONE SHOTS **** Hopefully this will help clear up some confusion. :-) I DO NOT HAVE A TEAM OF CAMERA PEOPLE FILMING ME. Here is a BRIEF explanation of how these drone shots are achieved. YES... every single one of these shots is all shot by myself, and only myself.... My DJI Mavic Air is actually GPS guided as most all drones are these days. I drive to a safe spot that I would like to capture. I launch the drone and fly it into position. Because it is GPS guided, the drone holds its elevation and position without me touching the controller. I set the controller down on the passenger seat. Then I drive the van through the scene. Once I have captured the shot I wanted, I fly drone to my new position in a safe parking spot and land the drone. Notice that any drone shot that has the van driving in the shot has very little to no movement? That is because the drone is set and I drive past it while it holds its own position. If you see a shot where it is tracking the van in a shot, the drone has been set to "active track" where it is set to follow a moving subject. I can also set the drone to follow a specific flight path. It is all very simple folks. No need to fret... It is all filmed by myself and I DO NOT have a team of camera people following me. I just needed to clear that up for everyone. Thanks for watching!!!

I have to say you are one of the luckiest people alive to be able to live the way you do. In nature without all the noise of the city. I enjoy watching your videos. Look forward to more content.

      Chad in case your are not aware of this but it is a violation of FAA rules to operate your drone from a moving vehicle. Just don’t want you to get in trouble.

      @purewonka 5 лет назад

      @@lnlyby_yt Okay, I get that, but that would mean he is watching the shot as he drives. Maybe he just sets it and drives for awhile without watching the shot and hopes for the best? Otherwise, he is driving while being distracted by watching his drone shot. Not the best plan on winter roads.
