-: We're gonna go in the forest now here. 2 2
There's a little opening and I'm gonna show you 3 3
how to operate these things. 4 4
And also, check out this vlog 5 5
that I made with my buddy Matt. 6 6
Just for another course we're making. 7 7
These devices, these drones have a lot 8 8
of automatic features too. 9 9
Like flybys, as well as parallax, et cetera. 10 10
So, as you can see here on the video inserts, 11 11
we did all that stuff using this drone here in my hands. 12 12
Okay, so what I'm gonna do now 13 13
is I'm gonna find a tree where I can attach 14 14
this Joby device to. 15 15
You can wrap it around a branch, which is awesome. 16 16
And I'm also gonna attach the GoPro at another angle. 17 17
And I'm gonna do all this in real time 18 18
including my mistakes, 19 19
just so you can see what I'm trying to do here. 20 20
And if I make mistakes, laugh at me, not with me. 21 21
So the first thing you're gonna do is, I'm actually 22 22
going to take this GoPro and I'm just going to hook it up 23 23
to a tree over here. 24 24
And I'll hook up this Canon M50 in my hands 25 25
with the Joby device to another tree. 26 26
So, the good thing about GoPros is that they've got 27 27
a really wide angle, if you want. 28 28
I'm actually recording this on linear. 29 29
And not the widest angle, 30 30
just because I like the look better. 31 31
And it doesn't have to be perfect, too, 32 32
when I've got it set up here. 33 33
Okay. 34 34
So I just turned the GoPro on now. 35 35
The GoPro is facing this way and let's look together 36 36
to see what it looks like. 37 37
Let's see what it's recording. 38 38
Okay, I'll make it maybe just 39 39
a touch lower so you can see me. 40 40
Great. 41 41
And then what I'll do with this camera here- 42 42
and the GoPro can now, see, GoPro's on that, good. 43 43
What I'll do with this camera is I'll put it 44 44
on that tree over there with this Joby Grip. 45 45
So you can see me. 46 46
Okay, great. 47 47
We're recording, we're good. 48 48
I'll hook this up here. 49 49
I'll go into fast forward mode until I perfect this. 50 50
All right, that will have to do. 51 51
I think I'm in focus. 52 52
I'm always- I think I'm in the picture. 53 53
I'm always in the picture with the GoPro, which is awesome. 54 54
What I'll do is I'll just bend down here and fly it 55 55
from this angle, and then post-edit I'll just correct 56 56
the angle there. 57 57
So what we're gonna do is we're just gonna 58 58
fly this straight up in the air. 59 59
And I'm gonna do an aerial view. 60 60
I'm gonna show you the CN Tower, which is pretty cool. 61 61
All right. 62 62
Turn that on. 63 63
Spread the wings out. 64 64
Good. 65 65
I'm gonna clap my hands three times in a second, 66 66
so that I know that the audio's in sync and that 67 67
the video's in sync. 68 68
And I have to do this because with this device here, 69 69
there's no audio, and I need to sync it up. 70 70
So it's connecting, it'll take a second. 71 71
Here we go, good. 72 72
I'm hitting record. 73 73
And I'm gonna clap three times. 74 74
(claps) 75 75
Okay. 76 76
And that way, in the post-edit process 77 77
I'll be able to put myself in. 78 78
So let's go- 79 79
-: [Robotic Female Voice] The home point has been updated. 80 80
Please check it on the map. 81 81
Chris: Let's fly out now, here we go. 82 82
(beeping) 83 83
-: [Robotic Female Voice] Please check it on the map. 84 84
-: Ah! 85 85
(continuous beeping) 86 86
I'll stay sitting down so you can see me. 87 87
I sat in a wet spot, that's okay. 88 88
(laughs) 89 89
And let's fly up. 90 90
And now I'm gonna look down to see what I can see. 91 91
Beautiful, look at that! 92 92
That's my parent's apartment there. 93 93
All right, so I'm gonna turn around. 94 94
Let's see here. 95 95
Slowly. 96 96
And we can see a nice panorama of Mississauga, in Toronto. 97 97
And Lake Ontario as well. 98 98
All right, that's Toronto you see right there, 99 99
and straight ahead, it's tough to see, is the CN Tower. 100 100
It's a little bit cloudy. 101 101
In post-edit I'll try to make it a little bit 102 102
better so you can see it. 103 103
So, I'm now at 300 feet. 104 104
Cool, and those big buildings on the left way over, 105 105
that's where Christine, my wife and I grew up. 106 106
Around that area. 107 107
All right, cool. 108 108
And I can move the camera down so you can see me. 109 109
I wonder if you can see me? 110 110
I'm gonna wave. 111 111
I think that's me there, I'm gonna lay down 112 112
so you can see me a bit better. 113 113
Great, my whole body's wet now. 114 114
(laughs) 115 115
So that's me there. 116 116
And then what we'll do is I'll go back over here 117 117
and I will do a slow turn. 118 118
Okay. 119 119
I'm getting a lot of warnings about wind and all that stuff. 120 120
Okay, great. 121 121
And then what I'll do is I'm gonna bring it back down. 122 122
Whoops! 123 123
Yeah, it's coming down now. 124 124
I think. 125 125
Yeah, we're at 300 feet coming down. 126 126
I can start to hear it. 127 127
I don't wanna hit a branch, I'm gonna turn a bit. 128 128
Wrong way. 129 129
And then what I'm gonna do is actually, I'm gonna turn it 130 130
so it looks right at us. 131 131
Watch this, I'm zooming in and zooming out, okay? 132 132
And I'm gonna look down at me. 133 133
There I am, I can see myself. 134 134
Hey there, hey students! 135 135
(laughs) 136 136
And I'm gonna try to land on me 137 137
or close enough to me. 138 138
Pretty fun, huh? 139 139
(beeping) 140 140
I'm getting beeping warnings. 141 141
Which you can disable. 142 142
And I'm gonna try and do a Maverick "Top Gun" flyby on you 143 143
and on you, the GoPro over there. 144 144
I can't wait to see "Top Gun" part two. 145 145
(beeping intensifies) 146 146
All right, there it is. 147 147
I'm gonna turn the camera around to look at me. 148 148
What's up? 149 149
That's me, and I can zoom into me if I want to. 150 150
There's a lot of beeping going on because 151 151
it's warning me about obstacles. 152 152
All right. 153 153
So there is the GoPro in the tree, can you see it even? 154 154
Right there. 155 155
There's the GoPro. 156 156
Pretty cool, huh? 157 157
And I'm gonna turn around over here 158 158
and do a flyby close to my M50. 159 159
I can feel the winds. 160 160
Don't try this at home, kids. 161 161
You can see the drone there, 162 162
and I'm going to catch it if I want to. 163 163
I'm actually going to put it back on the road to land, 164 164
so you can watch me land it. 165 165
But I have to cut some weeds first. 166 166
This is risky, Chris! 167 167
Oh it won't let me move forward. 168 168
Oh it will, good. 169 169
I'm not gonna cut weeds. 170 170
All right, now let's land it. 171 171
And we're done! 172 172
We're done. 173 173
So that was a lot of fun. 174 174
So, before doing this, obviously please read all the- 175 175
please make sure to read the directions and all that stuff, 176 176
all the legal- 177 177
I'm sorry, I have to mention it because I care. 178 178
These things can be dangerous. 179 179
But the camera's actually pretty good on it too. 180 180
You can record in 4K if you want to as well. 181 181
So I've got three cameras going right there. 182 182
So, if you have any questions. 183 183
(laughs) 184 184
If you have any questions about this, 185 185
the drone process and flying a drone, please let me know. 186 186
Make sure you always wear a lavaliere 187 187
or have some other microphone, so you can record 188 188
the audio as well. 189 189
Thanks.
