Calanais - an Autumn Sunrise. Isle of Lewis - DJI MINI3 Pro

An overnight visit to the Isles of Lewis and Harris in unseasonably good weather afforded an opportunity to attend Calanais at dawn. Lots of footage and a song suggested by a friend came together into this video, something uinque, beautiful and perhaps sufficient to do justice to the site and the music - I shall let you decide…

Thank you… A very inspiring place and the music suggested by a friend drove me to make something I think does it justice…

Goes together very well, excellent video as usual :clap:

Just a suggestion for any further videos from your trip if I may? Gaelic Psalm Singing. Very unique, very powerful and evocative. I think it would go very well with some of the footage you’ll have from your trip.

Yes, I have heard some of it, absolutely stunning, however I can’t find a free mp3 of it that I can use, happy to consider if you have a link to something that I can download and use?

The Back Church made an album in the early 2000’s. Might be worthwhile searching for it and then contacting the church to ask permission?

Thanls Rich, it was an amaing site and the wether was superb!

Excellent video, Suzanne - almost supernatural! I was there a couple of years and had no drone then, more’s the pity. We had grey skies and, traffic cones, and workmen signs to contend with. Nothing as glorious as this.

Thank you, there is a definite atmosphere there, and we were so blessed with the weathjer, has been excellent all week tbh, a little greyer today, but still flyable… I have about 10 or 12 video’s to edit when we get home…

Thanks… I have one coming up on ITV’s Sunday Morning Alan Tichmarsh show on the 26th November, but have to say I think this is superior…

Stunning bit of work Suzanne, both video and music, you certainly did the Stones credit

Thanks :slight_smile:

Just heard from ITV, they want to use this video in January in the Ode to Joy section of Alan Tichmarsh’s Sunday Morning show… If they do it will make 2 pieces of my footage that have been on there :slight_smile:

Done a slightly better edit, found another opening shot and faded out the music slightly better too…

Lol, no way I am personally going to appear on TV, I have a face for radio and a voice for silent movies :wink:

Thanks though, feel pretty stoked to have 2 pieces of footage going on National TV :slight_smile:

Brilliant video and a stunning setting. Bravo!
