Once Upon A Time

Thanks Rick!

For the opening/ending scene we chose a volcano that you could access from one side where the lava had broken through many, many, many years ago, so we only had to walk down a little bit. The other 90% of the ridge were still intact so it looks super deep when scudding down the drone.

We parked the car some 100 meters away from the outer edge and had to do just a little bit of hiking to get to the inside. Dad started the drone from there and we communicated through walkie-talkies to set up the shots and get some feedback. He had a better overview from his drone’s perspective and could tell us where to stand/lie to be positioned right in the middle of the crate which was hard to gage from the inside.

We used the walkie-talkie all the time during this video shoot, especially with all the drone scenes. Dad always had to stay far away in order not to be visible in any of the drone shots 🙂 It worked really well.

We’re working on a little behind-the-scenes video for the Club, so hopefully we get to show you a bit more of the workflow soon.

The John Sebastian shots were done in front of a white screen, but with a little bit of video editing magic we put him right there in the desert with us 🙂

Godd Q Rick… And Lisa, your reply to Rick’s Q was fascinating and that’s my” new thing ” learned for today… Thankyou !

It always fascinates me the amount of leg work and creative ingenuity that is required that go into to creating a perfect scene in a video.  Sometimes the scene can be short but when you see what was involved to create it, you can truly appreciate it.  Thanks Lisa for the awesome detailed explanation, and great question Rick.
