    I really like when you do this kind of stuff. I don’t think people understand all the effort that goes into something like this. It’s because the end product looks so great. You do a great job and have some really good friends that help you out. Keep up the good work really enjoyed this video.

    This is what makes Ken such a joy to follow. Most postings included the cleaned-up footage ... as if everything was "as planned." In reality, it rarely goes exactly as planned and often involves winging it at the very last minute. Bravo to the hard work it takes, and Thank You for sharing all of it with us.

  • @nick_doutrnz_entertainment
    @nick_doutrnz_entertainment 8 месяцев назад +4

    Those demos are no joke. When you think you're far enough, double it. There has been shrapnel found a couple of miles away (depending on the amount of explosives and power of them) from the demolition site. No damage was done because they cleared a 5 mile radius. (In my example). I understand how upset you were having to move but I saw you immediately change your attitude seconds after the explosion! HAHA I was telling myself "Watch, he's gonna be happy they made him move.) Also, as you mentioned, eardrum damage is also an issue. I'm not sure if its because of the high decibels or the concussive force from the explosion, so if someone could clarify that for me, would be appreciated!! Great footage as usual, Ken!!

They also have to think about safety which makes it more difficult for people who want to video this. But safety first.

I always work with the OWNER of the demo company so there are no last minute "safety officers". The OWNER WANTS me to get the shots(video) so he can use it. So the owner looks out for me. But as usual whaat makes your work so damn good is your point of view and personality and fun.

It seems like Nashville has gotten much more relaxed on rc aircraft. As a man of your experience, I think you may be able to tell us local viewers what's okay and what's not okay in Nashville. Parks? Downtown? Please help us local flyers. Also, thank you so much for your videos. You walk the line and I think know better than anyone what we can do and where we can do it. Thank you Ken!!!

But im always behind a blast sheild. So if you can use something as a shield then your good. Being that i am always the operator i always get chances that alot of ppl dont. Its all in who you know though & how well uou plan situations like that. Good luck on the next one

Tree was like, "Man I was all set to watch this bridge that's been trolling us for years get blown the f' up, when this drone hit me!! Man, FPVs are d!@ks!!" Look for the new merch to hit soon. :) great footage, and funny video.
