Gday Hive,
I would like to share with you my first video edit that I have made with some footage I shot on my DJI mini 2 drone.
I have never edited drone footage before so this was a fun project.
While I was visiting Stradbroke Island in Queensland Australia, it was the middle of the humpback whale migration so I was super excited to capture some footage with my drone.
We found a nice spot at Point Lookout at the North Gorge to see if any whales would come close to shore, as we could see lots of whales breaching and playing in the distance.
After an hour of waiting, I spotted a whale coming close to shore. I launched my drone up with the quickness and to my suprise the whale had a baby calf with her.
This calf was still a bit white so it must have been born in the last couple of days. Humpback whlaes start off very light in colour then they get dark as the grow older. So I'm not sure if this was one of those rare white whales or if it was a fresh new born calf.
I followed them for a bit then someone else flew thier drone out and was being pretty reckless with thier flying so I decided I got enough clips and brought my drone back.
I sent the drone back up to get some landscape shots of the North Gorge, and also found a pod of dolphins playing. Also a turtle and a mantaray.
Man Stradbroke Island is amazing!!
Now that I had captured all these shots I finally had time to go through it all and put together this edit.
I cut up some panning shots and and there is no audio on my drone so I found a sound effect of a whale breathing when it surfaced and cut that into the edit. I think it worked pretty cool :)
I hope you like the video, I'm still learning so let me know any improvements I can make for future edits.
