Drone Shot Day!

 Atlas the day has come! Before I start talking about the day i want to give a special thanks to my friend Max for making this day become possible. I appreciate you helping me out and I am extremely grateful that you taugth me how to fly a drone! 

Hi blog! Today I want to introduce you to Max. I just met him this year. Max is a junior in higshcool and has started his own succesful bussines called "Max SoFlo". He is a verified user on instagram, he has hit 28.1K followers and is on his way for a rather great future. If i know anything about max is that he is a great influencer and hard worker. His ethic rubbed of on me and made this drone shot possible.

Max has a very tight schedule. He is booked and busy which meant i would have to work around his appointed services. We kept having to reschedule our "drone day" because I became extremely busy when teching for Mamma Mia and Bettlejuice, 2 student directed shows, that needed my support and help with mics, set, and props. Teching this show had me coming home extremely late, and i wanted to make sure that the drone shots were done when the sun was still out. Regardless, we found a day that could work for both of us...and we begun working. 

Location. Max lives near a bunch of trails and abandoned farms. He said the place that he wanted to take me was familiar, and that it would be the perfect place to teach me how to fly a drone (at my begginer level). Altough, i dont want to disclose the information of the location because it is quite litteraly really near his humble abode...i am more than comfortable with sharing a few pictures and ALL the footage that we have from that day.

These are a few pictures from that day. I have one of me flying the drone, another one of my best friends reaction to me actually being able to navigate it, a picture of the set up, and 2 pictures of the location.

This day was extremly exciting and a one in a lifetime experience. Although pretty hard, this experience gave me the opportunity to make mistakes! And that something I could never take for granted. Here i want to include a few videos of me flying the drone. In it you can see that i did infact crash the drone, but even so Max remained confidence in my ability to get a good drone shot. Again this was my first time flying such a tiny machine, but with guidance I was able to create a product in which i was proud of.
