11-3-18 Drone Show Notes

-

Hi!
I'm Aaron Avila.

 Thank for taking interest in my unique drone show.

 I use a DJI Spark to raise stroke awareness.
Today's show topic
Drone Cinematic Sequencing 
What is a cinematic drone sequence?
It's about a five minute video containing a compilation of cinematic drone shots sequencing or changing clips every three to five seconds.
It's important to tell a story and maintain content or subject continuity within your video.

Before I give you the impression I know what I'm doing regarding producing cinematic drone sequences, I want to make very clear "I Don't"

 I've studied hours of video tutorials on producing and flying cinematic sequences but have no real hand on stick flight time. 
(Remember I'm a one handed, half paralyzed stroke survivor) So I can only control one stick at a time. 
(Read my personal stroke survival story here)

 So bottom line is I have lots of theory with no actual flight time or post production work experience. 
So I'm learning as I go, and will share with you what I learn.

 My goal 
To produce quality content that you can apply to your pilot and post production skillset.

 As a half paralyzed, wheelchair bound stroke survivor I'm embarking on a drone journey.

 I will try and produce a drone show that:
  1. Raises stroke awareness 
  2. Inspires you on a human level
  3. Will share valuable drone tips and tutorials 
I want to hear from you! 
I want this show to be about us as a drone community, not just about me. 
I want to engage and interact with you!

A future vision for my show.
Is to host a live Drone Talk Show Segment. 
So if you're interested in being a quest on my drone talk show, please leave me a message in comments and I'll contact you with the details.

In today's I Can't Walk But I Can Fly Drone Show 
I'm implementing and learning a drone cinematic filming technique called Cinematic Drone Sequencing.

 This was my very first time trying to fly and produce in post, a cinematic drone film sequence.

 What did I learn on my first filming attempt.
Note 
(My son got called into work on an emergency and I only had time to film three clips).
  • A true cinematic sequence video averages around ony five minutes long.
  •  A cinematic drone sequence should use a fresh clip within video every three to five seconds to maximize viewer retention. So an average five minute cinematic sequence would use about 65 cinematic movements in it. This insures the best viewer engagement and retention possible.
So as you will see in today's video and due to transportation issues, I was only able to film a few cinematic sequences and I missed the needed clips to produce a true cinematic sequence. I'll do much better next month peeps!

 In this first video, look at it more like learning the sequencing concept but I  need a lot more cinematic clips to achieve a true drone cinematic sequence video.

 What you can expect from my show next month.
Ryan and I  found a small field with circa 1800's steam driven farm equipment on it.
I am going to get permission to fly it and I will produce what I hope will be a full Drone Cinematic Sequence Video. 
I'm so excited about shooting this sequence!

 Remember,
for now I produce my show on the first Saturday of every month at 2 PM PST. Broadcast live on my YouTube Channel here.

I will be doing my best to increase my drone flying and post production skills over the months to come.

 I hope I can produce enough drone show value, you'll consider following me.

 Sincerely,
Your bro,
Aaron

I want to make clear to our drone community that my goal for my I Can't Walk But I Can Fly Drone Show is to learn how to produce a high quality and high valued drone show.   I dream of producing a drone show we engage together on as a community. A recent show change is  My Show Sponsor Tom Iliffe felt it best at this time to pull his sponsorship of my show. If anyone believes in my using drones to raise stroke awareness and is willing to sponsor my show, please leave me a message in comments. My future show objective: To work really hard on learning drone cinematography.  I want to share what I learn with you and hopefully produce valuable content. I want to learn how to produce drone cinematic sequences. Because I have allowed myself to get buried with Stroke TV projects and don't have enough time to go cinematic film Lord Snort, the Bore Metal Sculpture, I must postpone next months show to the following month (12/1/18 @ 2 PM PST) I will m...

How a DJI Drone helped my stroke survival.

Hi, My name is Aaron Avila  I suffered a massive brain aneurysm on September 17th 2010. Then two weeks later while in a comma I suffered a massive stroke. My stroke left me totally mute, half paralyzed and unable to walk. (It's been 8 years). I now speak with a speech deficit. I'm not going to go in depth initially but flying a DJI Spark drone gave me a w ay to express myself creatively for the first time since  my stroke in 2010. I discovered drones through a friend from almost 30 years ago named Tom Iliffe. Tom and I lost contact for over 20 years.  Thanks to Facebook Tom and I reconnected. When Tom found out I had suffered a brain aneurysm and stroke that left me half paralyzed and wheelchair bound Tom  was moved with comparison. Tom told me that I may not be able to walk, but I can fly a drone one handed. What a life changing time this was for me! You see, one of the most difficult effects of stroke is it completely strips you of your abilit...

Here's my plan to learn to fly and film cinematic Drone.

Meet my amazing teacher from Ireland  (Click on Pegasus my Phantom 3 4k to launch video) I plan on taking one or two tips of Stewart Carroll's and practice them in my front yard and local park until I  learn them. As I get this plan moving I will do a once a week livestream show on my Facebook Page. My goal will be to spend 15 minutes or so in a live chat segment at the end of each show.  We can live chat to discuss cinematic Drone flying or any Drone topic. Like my Facebook Page Here I must warn you! I'm a brain aneurysm and stroke survivor with a speech deficit (Read my story here) so you may need to ask me to slow my speech rate down so I don't smash my words together.  I don't take it personal so if you can't understand me, ask me to slow down. As I  get more organized I will use the same numbering system Stewart uses in his tutorial so you know what cinematic Drone filming technique I'm trying to learn. Make sure...
