Drone Shot for Luwee13's 'Peek-A-Boo' Music Video Shoot

On a very early morning, like 3AM type morning, the crew woke up to shoot Luwee13's music video on the top of a mountain. Our director wanted to get the sunrise to get the perfect light from the sun, but we did not anticipate the sunrise to be about an hour and a half later then we expected. So while we waited, the crew pretty much caught our breath after a rough hike up the hill and carrying all the equipment. When the sun came up over into the valley, I have to say it was a beautiful sight to see. We knew we were only going to have the sunrise for a short period of time so I had to quickly get the DJi Phantom Vision Plus (drone) up in the air and try to get a few aerial shots. The weather conditions were great, it was not windy so I was able to control the Phantom. The difficulty with the Phantom is that the camera attached to the unit is only a fish-eye lens, therefore it is difficult to get everybody out of the shot because it is so wide of an angle. The director had to get everybody to hide behind big rocks so they would not be in the shot, but it was also hard for me to not get in the shot as well without seeing physically where the Phantom was flying. After getting the shots we wanted, it was a little difficult to land the Phantom because there was not a real flat surface for it to safely land on, however after a few tries I was able to land it. This location was amazing and I plan on filming there again in the near future.
