I also used it to fix many of the stabilisation\/ rolling shutter issues caused by the drone. I tweaked a couple of the edits and toned down the grade from the original using Film Convert Nitrate. I also added film grain and a touch of diffusion using their halation add-on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can get a free trial of Topaz Video AI here:<a href=\"http:\/\/gopb.co\/topaz\"> http:\/\/gopb.co\/topaz <\/a><\/p>\n<p>10% off Filmconvert Nitrate here:<a href=\"http:\/\/gopb.co\/filmconvert\"> http:\/\/gopb.co\/filmconvert<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am still very happy with the original edit; it will always be the main version. I just wanted to mark the 10th anniversary by making it look better, which I feel I have achieved. This is one of the films I am most proud of making. With the drones we have now, I wouldn&#8217;t have needed to go through all the work of making it look better, nor would I have had all the technical problems. Drones have come a long way in 10 years! Here&#8217;s some more information about the gear and the filming: Koh Yao Noi is a small island in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>I filmed this whilst on my holiday there. Initially, I was just going to use drone shots alongside my GH4 shots, but the footage was so unique that I made this standalone edit. I used two DJI Phantom 2s with a GoPro Hero 3+ shooting in 2.7K, attached to the drone with the Zen Muse 3-axis gimbal. The video quality wasn&#8217;t great, as many of the shots had many issues with rolling shutter ripples. Monitoring the shots was also very hard. One Phantom 2 had an awful FPV monitor, which I could barely see anything on, and the other had nothing, so I was flying purely by line of sight, which is tricky for composition! I had to do a lot of work in post to fix the issues and make it as good as possible. The film got a fantastic reception and, to date, has had 759,000 views on Vimeo.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot less on YouTube on this channel, but GoPro also uploaded it to their channel, with 1.2 million views. One day, I hope one of my videos on this channel will break 1 million views! The film also helped me land &#8220;The Wonder List&#8221; TV series for CNN, which I filmed all over the world for the first two seasons; then, during the filming of season 3, I badly injured my back, which meant I couldn&#8217;t continue anymore. In March 2015, I entered the film into the 1st New York City Drone Film Festival, and it won the &#8220;Best Travel\/Landscape&#8221; category. Thank you to all the judges who voted for it.
