What can I say? I wish we’d had this week’s weather to film the aerial shots for a music video for Norwich band …of Diamonds, but we didn’t!
When we were contacted by the band’s production team, we were very happy to get involved. We dodged rain showers and flew in 14mph winds to obtain aerial footage of Len Wright’s stunning vintage Bedford SB3 bus. The footage was then mixed in with external and internal ground-based footage of the bus and band to create the final video. Although we have work to do, particularly to cope with the post-processing challenges created by flying in high winds, we think it came out really well!
May we also say that the members of Thurton, Ashby and district WI are absolute stars!!
Below are two videos; a rough cut of some of the aerial shots and the completed pop video.
UAV: HL Octocopter
FC: DJI Wookong M

Enjoy the lovely weather!
