In the shadows of Pendle Hill, the ruins of Sawley Abbey

Videos by Drone

A break in the weather last weekend afforded an opportunity to fly the drones - the AIR3 at Pendle Hill (to come later this week) and the MINI3 Pro at the nearby Sawley Abbey, a grade 1 scheduled ruin in the care of English Heritage (hence the TOAL from the roadside).

A very competent smooth flight. Your control is great.

Thank you Alistair, smoothness is paramount for a cinematic look and feel, I do try my best, but sometimes it doesnt always work out fully, especially when I am using a laggy old computer to edit and miss seeing things in the footage…

Lovely video, super smooth and cinematic! Like particularly the fast moves contrasting with the super low slow mo’s

Suzanne:
A very nice job. I like the way you came into the scene and how you left it. Also, all the exploring you did whilst inside.
I think you just keep getting better. To borrow a lyric, “It’s getting better all the time.”

Really great, thanks!
Also I think I saw (after looking a couple of times in slow-mo) how you used a subtle editing technique to minimise the risk in flying really close to the abbey at one point (I think the sheep walk backwards for a moment :slight_smile: )

Thanks Philip, praise indeed…

Haha, well spotted John, yes, the backwards flight was a reverse, far safr than actually flying backwards, although I didnt spot the sheep moving… Have done some backwards flying this weekend though, with a waterfall and people around no opportunity for reversing the film :slight_smile:

Thank you, thats a very kind comment, much appreciated…

TBH, I truly believe anyone can learn to do the same as I do, it just takes time, patience, some focus to learn the editing techniques and an ability to critique yourself mercilessly…

Nice and smooth, I liked the music too. Were you tempted to fly the Avata through those gaps?

Thanks… yeah, I did think about it, but as there were other folks inside the Abbey grounds I didnt want to disturb them too much…
