We are working on the content as we speak so in the meantime, why don't you sign up and be the first to know then the new videos are ready! www.captaincornelius.co.uk/dronefilmguideclub-signup/
Just bought my first drone and have been overdosing on YT videos to absorb some knowledge. I have to say I have found your channel to be the most engaging and informative of the many I have dipped in to. Thanks for your tuition.
Hey! Thank you all for your comments and discussion below! Just to let you know that as this channel is growing, we are struggling to reply to each and every one of you but rest assured that we do read your comments and value your input. Please do keep your comments coming! Drone Film Guide is evolving into a cracking community for those of us who want to do more with our drones and fly like filmmakers...stay tuned!
I'm still learning how to use my first drone. The cinematic possibilities are endless. I'm still trying to make sense of it all to incorporate this very important new development into my high school curriculum. I've watched and subscribed to a few drone channels but I really like your approach and insight. Kudos!
Stew-aht...lovely man! I'm a self taught underwater videographer, but I use my Mavic Pro for establishing shots in my videos and I just wanted to see what I could pick-up from you to make my work a tad more dynamic...I've been toying with the cinematic 'letterbox' idea...it didn't dawn on me that it'd add framing flexibility...you've just convinced me. Thank you
Wow, these adjustments has made my mavic mini footage pop. Utilising other tips from 'Drone Film Guide' of adjusting the new features of the ISO / Shutter etc has made colour enhancing so easy. Massive thumbs up to you
Brilliant. You have a knack of crystallizing a thought or a concept that I was thinking about or wrestling with already.I find your content is ideally timed, and straightforwardly delivered. I think more editing tips would be helpful. Something about how to edit down 10 minutes of drone footage to a few 5- to 10-second clips held together by some background music.
Although I’m fairly new to drones, I’ve been flying RC fixed wing and Helicopters for many years, but now have 2 drones with a keen interest in cinematography. This said I’ve never done any video editing before. Enjoying your videos. Keep them and the emails coming. Thanks Bill
I'd say I know stills photography quite well. Bought a P4P+, mainly for stills photography, but I am trying to learn film techniques as well. Tons of things to learn. Therefore I must have seen over a hundred how-to clips on youtube by now. Yours is one of the very best. Thank you!
Please keep up with sharing your knowledge! It has made a world of a difference in my drone photography & flying skills!! I can't thank your channel enough!
That was fantastic! Perfect for a new drone owner and an experienced editor! Love the ideas. Bought my first drone last week, looking to edit my first drone footage. Excited to have come across you.
thank you for the awesome info. i have watched numerous info videos with no luck, but you truly have a gift. Not only do you know how to make stunning videos but you know how to explain it quickly with out leaving out a bunch of steps like most people. i truly appreciate it.
Hi Stewart, I just happened to stumble across your channel and I am so excited that I have. I have been looking for some tips and guidelines in video capturing and editing and your videos are exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the wonderful work sir and you are making it possible for people like me to understand the art of film making. Again, thank you ever so much.
Excellent tips and very inspiring video. Keep them coming! However I would appreciate if the background music was toned down a bit, it is hard to hear what you say sometimes.
Yo, your biggest fan in Africa here... Well done! If you see it fit I, would like to know more about considerations into fps and how to slo-mo and/or ramp up speed. I have seen some sporadic mentions of shooting in slow movement of the drone in combination with more and/or less frame rates, but I would really like to hear your take on this from a practical perspective. Thanks in advance...
Sure thing! I can tell you now though that the shots I think you are referring to are simply speeded up 25fps footage with no ramping or change in frame rate so there's nothing clever going on there!
Another good and interesting video from you guys. But hey, dont be afraid to make your videos longer and more in depth. Most of us watching this have for sure a longer attention span than 40 seconds ( LOL)
Thanks for the great tutorials. Really like your format. I do think your wisdom comes across better when there's no distracting background music though. Thanks again and good luck with your ongoing efforts
Hi Captain. I would like to suggest maybe you could make the background music bit more quiet next time. I was unable to hear you through the music. Anyways: thank you for making this channel! Very helpful and really well done.
Awesome video! Great tips and delivery of them. Loved the video clip example. Really good example of cutting to the music, great use of the wind sounds at the beginning of the clip. Great video by itself can get pretty boring. Your timing on your clips was a good example of how to make it work and hold our attention. Thanks!
I am new to your channel. This is the 3rd video i have watched and...wow. Very informative, to the point and communicated in a peaceful and authentic way. Very inspiring.
Excellent video! Great tips. And great footage and editing. I'm still in the learning to fly mode. LOL. I plan to incorporate some of your tips and techniques. Nice job, sir.!
Indeed! I just came across this amazing channel, I’m so lucky! I’m just bought my first not so much toy drone:) Hubsan H501SS X4. It’s very funny how life guides you into a positive path:) Thanks so much! Peace!
Drone Film Guide, Mr. Drone Film Guide! I just became your subscriber:) You Chanel is amazing and your knowledge , skill and the hard work that you dedicate, it’s immediately noticed:) ! Thank you!! Peace!
Been watching a few of your videos and want to say thanks. Very informative, easy to watch and full of great tips pitched at the right level to keep us interested. You mentioned in the end of this video if you'd went into more detail the video would be an hour long. I'd watch that for sure! Great work, keep it up... Andy from the Kingdom of Fife.
Absolutely wonderful information and presentation. I'm a newbie to drones (I have a basic $250 GPS drone) and a complete novice to photography, but your video wants to make me experiment, be creative, and hone my skills. Thank you. Yes by the way, I just subscribed.
Quick question. I do like the look of the letterbox effect. But when I am watching stuff on my widescreen TV it's sometimes annoys me that I'm not seeing the whole of the screen. How much do you think this would impact people's appreciation of your drone footage??
Im not a fan of dropping letterbox overlay... why not just create a custom 2.35:1 sequence then put your 4k footage on that... and zoom or move the footage vertically so it doesnt show blades or crop your footage so it hides something you dont wanna show.. i find cinematic shots in 2.35:1 come out nicer without having black bars which you have to encode into the footage.. plus if you watch on wider screen than 16:9 you wont get black bars on the left on right as it boxes in.. just my 2 cents..
All the cropping you do is that only possible if you shot in 4K or can you also do some cropping if you have a Mavic Mini that shoots 2.7K? Also a tip, its always nice if you put a pinned comment on the video with the different timestamps for the different techniques mentioned at 0:14
Stewart! Give me the hour long version!! Haha, another great video! Maybe you guys can be content creators for skillshare? seems like the ultimate way to promote would be to have the 5-10 minute version on RUclips promoting the paid 30-60 minute version on their site.
I can talk for an hour, you better believe it! We're looking into options for longer courses actually. I think it's important that the YT videos add genuine value and are useful in their own right but for longer, in-depth discussions for those are sufficiently interested, we are looking at the best platforms for this kind of content going forward. Stay tuned!
I've never understood why letterboxes are a thing when you can just as well work with the project/composition in a WS aspect ratio. Effect is the same apart from avoiding the black frame when watching on 21:9 monitors.
Thank you Stewart. What a treasure to have these rich, lush landscapes "at your fingertips..." just beautiful (after you adjust for the cameras' sundry idiosyncrasies with capturing light). ps -- kudos on the new sponsor... I'm sure you'll get many more very soon!
Thank you for another great video and a huge help! I hope you will do a more deep review about color grading because I suck at it so much just randomly moving those sticks around color board...
Awesome video just bought my Mavic pro 2 today and you have certainly whet my whistle cant wait to learn and if I get to a 10th of this proficiency I will be pleased

6:58 the background track cross over was murder on my ears. Subbed though :D
Welcome to the channel!
Crazy, that was my sister and her husband getting married in that castle shot. They eloped and flew there to do it haha!
Is this true?
@@nickpadget sure is
bournejsn a happy fact is a good fact
Haha YT served this up today. I decided to drop by to give it a like. I’ve been watching for about 3 years. Interesting to see this with the Phantom.
Brilliant. You have a knack of crystallizing a thought or a concept that I was thinking about or wrestling with already.I find your content is ideally timed, and straightforwardly delivered.
I think more editing tips would be helpful. Something about how to edit down 10 minutes of drone footage to a few 5- to 10-second clips held together by some background music.
Good to hear your thoughts on what would make for useful videos in future. Thanks!
Thank you for this as I am new to editing and it is clearly my weak point. This was beyond helpful. There is so much content here that I truly needed

Christmas gift ..Mavic 2... this channel is soooo helpful! Thanks for the clear concise indepth lessons.

The shots you make are of the top shelf. That speeding in between scenes is just so cool. Good luck
Top vid again, very informative as always. Congrats on the sponsorship - well deserved.
Much appreciated! For sure, sponsorships keep the YT world spinning!
Another super video... I've learnt so much watching these

Keep up the wonderful work sir and you are making it possible for people like me to understand the art of film making. Again, thank you ever so much.
Well done, I am surprised you only have 18000 subs.......I see this channel in the realm of 100000 subs plus.
Hi from Australia :)
Hi from Scotland! Pretty happy with our growth since the start of the year but couldn't agree more, we also see it 100,000+!!!!
Again some really useful tips, very helpful as the video gives some great inspiration. Thanks
Jerry
I realy don't know why you don't have more followers. You have really great videos!😁
Excellent tips and very inspiring video. Keep them coming!
However I would appreciate if the background music was toned down a bit, it is hard to hear what you say sometimes.

You're awesome Stewart! Such simple and helpful tips for anyone to use 👍🏼
Thank you for being awesome!!!
You're such a great help😘
I've got an uphill climb but looking forward to all the editing possibilities for my Mavic Mini 2. Happy New Year.
Thanks for the video. Well done.
Absolutely. The Mini 2 exceeds anyone's 'needs' for a drone so now it's about getting the most out of it. Cheers!
Amazing Tips Bro!!! The Best Channel on RUclips!!!

Another good and interesting video from you guys.

Ha! Sound advice!
sos el mas grande! gracias por enseñarnos tanto! saludos desde Argentina
Great videos, slightly surprised though that you promote adding a PNG overlay rather than adjusting the aspect ratio. Keep up the great work.
Great videos Stewart. You're a great help!!
You're a Godsend. Wicked channel...thanks a lot for the tips.

Hi Captain. I would like to suggest maybe you could make the background music bit more quiet next time. I was unable to hear you through the music. Anyways: thank you for making this channel! Very helpful and really well done.
Sure thing! I think this video was an exception in terms of music volume because a few people commented.
Magnificent! What better place in the world to do this than Scotland.
Great video! Thanks for the tips!
Really great video , also love your work . thank you from South Africa. I am hoping to come to Scotland next year cant wait it looks beautiful
Thank you from Scotland! South Africa is beautiful place.
Awesome video! Great tips and delivery of them. Loved the video clip example. Really good example of cutting to the music, great use of the wind sounds at the beginning of the clip.

Thank you!
Just got a phantom this helped a lot with editing. Thanks!

Great tips, quick and actionable for everyone 😀
I've never understood why letterboxes are a thing when you can just as well work with the project/composition in a WS aspect ratio. Effect is the same apart from avoiding the black frame when watching on 21:9 monitors.
No right or wrong on that one. We just like the look of it.
Because broadcast tv requires 16:9 footage
Thanks so much, Stewart - super helpful.
Great videos mate, Thanks for sharing, I have learned a lot from your videos. Keep it up
7:01 Nice two songs at once!
Great curriculum design and presentation! The examples bring it all home! Is this all Captain Cornelius footage?
Thank you for your feedback! Yes indeed, every shot you see in any of our YT videos was filmed by ourselves over the last couple of years.
Thank you Stewart. What a treasure to have these rich, lush landscapes "at your fingertips..." just beautiful (after you adjust for the cameras' sundry idiosyncrasies with capturing light).
ps -- kudos on the new sponsor... I'm sure you'll get many more very soon!
I literally do not have a drone! Great videos
best drone tips in yotube!! awesome dude!
Excellent! Very informative. I've been figuring that short fast clips are best.
Thank you for another great video and a huge help! I hope you will do a more deep review about color grading because I suck at it so much just randomly moving those sticks around color board...
For sure, it takes a bit of getting used to!
Thnx for this video and explanation, helped a lot, love your channel
Awesome video just bought my Mavic pro 2 today and you have certainly whet my whistle cant wait to learn and if I get to a 10th of this proficiency I will be pleased
Great stuff! You'll love it...cracking drone!
