Esprit tribute video - test footage sample

Looks fantastic so far

more more more :clap:

OOh that's cool...

AWESOME!

Nicely done!

Excellent work, your last name isn't Spielberg is it?

Great editing of the V8 intro. I really like the drone views on the Telsa; gonna have to get a drone for myself!

Thanks, all.

The drone is definitely fun! A DJI Phantom 2 with a GoPro.

Very nice work and good background music; you have a real talent at film compositions.

The paint and colour of your Esprit is just fantastic, it rocks.

Good job! :clap:

Wow...nice V8 intro! Most impressive...first class

Cripes - why do all the cool toys cost so much? I'm gonna have to hold a bake sale to get one of those cool drones (~$1200).

That's exactly what I said when I first saw the Esprit!

Both videos look good.
I had a very rare opportunity last week while I was at the local post office. First, I saw a white Tesla just like the one in your video. The man driving the white Tesla was taking to a man driving a black Tesla....in the same parking lot. I can't imagine how two Teslas show up in little ole Waco, Texas!

The white one belongs to an engineer at L 3 Aero Space; the black belongs to a local stockbroker!

Nice work. Love the BTTF license plate!

lol - I'm glad someone caught that!

I'll be setting the scene for the video a few years out into the future, so I thought that would be a fitting homage (one of my favorite movie series). It's also practical in that we don't have to see any of the real plates.

If you like DIYing it, you can buy parts off HobbyKing.com and build an ArduCopter/ArduPirate or MultiWii based quadcopter with similar capabilities for $500-$600.

Be careful, though, because you'll end up sucked into yet another hobby addiction and you'll spend hours and hours tweaking it to make it fly as well.

The DJI equipment really is a great piece of off-the-shelf kit for the price.

Agreed. They just released the version with a 3-axis gimbal that's even better: Amazon.com : DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Quadcopter with FPV HD Video Camera and 3-Axis Gimbal : Camera & Photo

About $1,300. Nice comparison of the 2 vs 3 way gimbal here (mine's a 2-way): DJI Zenmuse H3-3D VS H3-2D Gimbal - Comparison between 3-Axis and 2-Axis Gimbal - HeliPal.com - YouTube
