Flying a drone just for fun

This is a montage of drone footage as an edited music video for the song “Norrlänsk Munspelsvisa”. Flying a drone at some various locations around in Sweden just for fun is what ended up becoming this video. Mostly it is footage from Stockholm and around the area where I’m from. Which is about three hours from Stockholm. During the times of flying and recording this, there wasn’t actually any plans of making a video out of it. The flight sessions were mostly for fun and I sometimes pressed record just in case there would be any nice footage captured. Sort of the same as with the three other videos, which I made in Hong Kong earlier. I didn’t have a plan for what kind of video I wanted to make back then either. Just flying and filming randomly.

But after a while there was a feeling popping up for making another video and trying out Final Cut Pro as video editing software this time. Just to play around and be experimenting a little bit. I started to cut out some pieces from the material I had just to see what we could make in the process of learning the program. Thats how this music video to a calm jam session with harmonica and guitar to Swedish nature was created.

Making a video

Since I was in Sweden now and there was a lot of landscape footage being captured with forest and lots of very calm views, I decided to put that piece of music on which I made with a friend of mine a couple of years ago. I was going to have to choose some sort of music to use for the footage anyway. I need to have some music to make a video. So why not use a track I also was involved in playing when recorded and also done the afterwork in Logic myself. It felt like it could be related to the footage I had in an easy way. I also felt like making a video with footage from one country at the time. Next time I will make a video with only footage from another country.

It is just a montage of drone footage, really. I just cut up some of what I have captured which I like and then put music on it and add some title text and edit it a little bit. It is very simple. But still it is a work that sometimes seem to be quite time consuming. But at least I enjoy it. It is fun to make something. It’s a way to keep creative and it is nice memories to have. I hope I will be making a few more video montages like this one soon. Or maybe something completely different. In the meantime. Please feel free enjoying this one.
