Thank you and your son for such an artful and thoughtful contribution to those that gave all they had.

I salute you sir, and your son. Looks like a great way you taught him the respect he should show.



ETA:
Phantom Pilot, Phantom 2 Vision + Pilot, and Phantom 3 Pilot here.

nice video. i see there are a few new graves and have some questions. to be buried in veterans cemetery do you have to die in war or just be a vet?. are they from soldiers in iraq or afganistan or are the vets who have passed that served in say korea or vietnam?  seems like a ton of our boys gave all for our country. RIP.

drone videos are a great asset. you cant make a video like that without one. they also seem to be good for disaster recovery where you easily cant get to such as a flood. why would someone hate a drone?

Your son did a great job.

Amazingly well done, and in such a short time.









To badly paraphrase Samuel Johnson, "The wonder is not that it's done well, but that it's done at all." Ten years ago, a video of that scope and quality would have been hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce with a project time of weeks. If it could have been done at all. For a small audience, it would have been effectively impossible. Today, we understand that an amateur created this at home in 24 hours, and we watch and nod and mumble "Ah, very nice." My God, what will be possible a decade from now?

You know, I've been there several times and this is the first time I understand the layout of the place.  Good job.

Wonder why the US flags appear to be much lower than any other flags shown.... Perspective maybe?

DJI Inspire

Oh, I hate you now...

I went with the P3 because I couldn't justify the cost of an Inspire. Sweet rig!

Used to live 2-3 miles from there.
Watched them construct it and was there for some of the first interments. I commuted to post on the funeral route and Patriot Guard Riders played a big part back then. Brings back some memories.

P3 has the same camera, it's not worth 2k more

I feel for those trying to make a living flying full size planes with photographers.  They are so out work in the coming years.    Thankfully, I got my time in prior to these awesome pieces of gear.


Mark, you should be proud.

To be honest, there's not THAT big of a market for it.  A photographer who does aerials usually will also do commercial work for local business.  Marketing photos for business cards, flyers, online ads/webpages, etc.  So it's not like they're totally out of work.  Photographers might specialize in weddings or protraits or freelance for news/wildlife, but nobody is doing just aerials.  But I see what you're saying and yes it's going to change things a bit for those who sell their aerials to land/business owners.

Hijack off.

Central Texas State Veteran's Cemetery - Memorial Day

Due to an expected Memorial Day rain-out, son Josh was asked Friday afternoon to make something quick and viewable for Killeen's moved-indoors Memorial Day ceremony. Son grabbed drone, and charged drone's batteries on his way there. Shot the video about 8:00 pm Friday late,  edited and sent it by about 9:00 pm Saturday night.

That's awesome.  Thank Josh for doing that.

Not bad buy should have been shot slow-mo to better go with the pace of the music, imo.
