I Can't Walk But I Can Fly Blog by Aaron Avila

Hi it's Aaron, Well Ryan and I just got back from the Park for our first attempt at using the DJI Intelligent Flight Modes. Well the key word is "attempt" Not only could I not access the Inelegant Flight Modes for some reason. During a close proximity hover my Co-Pilot (Ryan) yells where are you flying? As my Drone begins to fly on it's own towards a cyclone fence! I immediately tell Ryan I'm not flying it so Ryan grabs the controller and says it's not flying right and performs an emergency landing before it flew into some trees. The only issue was that the Park grass was long making the Drone land uneven falling over and crashing.  What comes to mind when a flight doesn't turn out like I wanted and crash? The words of my Drone sponsor and Pilot Mentor Tom Illife always asked me, What did you learn? Wow! So much happen, I'll need to marinate on it and write a part 2 to this Blog. Here's a few videos we did shoot. I Can't

Hi! It's Founder Aaron Avila  After watching an awesome video from world traveler and Drone Cinematographer   Jeven Dovey   Using DRONES to create BETTER VIDEOS So here's our plan. Wherever possible Ryan and I will use Pegasus  (My DJI Phantom 3 4k) to film our Journey on the way to fly not just the Drone film but everything leading up to it. Should be fun!

Now this is why Drones are so epic!

Hi peeps! I'ts Founder and Drone Pilot in training Aaron Avila. Read my personal survival story . Wow!  I have learned a ton over the last two weeks thanks to Stewart Carroll from Drone Film Guide in Ireland. I've been told as a half paralyzed wheelchair bound one handed stroke survivor I would not be able to be a true Drone Pilot and I won't be able to shoot cinematic Drone footage. Well, thanks to what I've learned from professional Drone Cinematographer, Stewart Carroll , I am certain I can do it! My dream will be to be the worlds first half paralyzed wheelchair bound one handed Drone Cinematographer!  So my biggest challenge was how to take those epic looking cinematic Drone videos with my DJI   Phantom 3 4k and  using the stock  DJI  two  stick controller when I only have one hand? ,  (Phantom 3 4k Drone donated by Drone Pilot Tom Illife) .   I named my Drone Pegasus. Enter Stewart Carroll! After watching countless cinematic Drone filming tu

It's Drone Pilot in training Aaron Avila So peeps! I am so impressed and inspired by Stewart Carroll Founder of  Drone Film Guide in Ireland, I want to incorporate Stewart's filming techniques in my productions. Here's my idea. In Stewart's  video tutorial, Stewart breaks down his Drone cinematic filming techniques like this. 0:44 Fly backwards  1:17 Reverse footage in post-production  2:17 Visualize your shot  3:02 Film subjects  3:19 Fly low  3:45 Use the time between shots wisely  4:20 Keep your shots short  4:45 Wait for the light  5:48 Be able to see your screen  6:36 Fly with a partner  7:15 Biggest memory card possible  7:52 Backup mid-shoot  8:26 Don't overexpose your shots  8.51 Stranger danger  9.30 Keep it simple  10:05 Clever composition  10:45 Where to stand?  11:28 Don't ignore battery warnings  12:15 Treat weather with respect  12:45 Wait to update firmware So my creative t

To always look out the window prior to getting yourself all jazzed about flying, topping off batteries and controller only to finely look out the window and see it's raining! SUCH A SILLY STROKE SURVIVOR! Gotta go, Pegasus is pissed and kicking at her barn door! (I named my Drone) lol
