What would life be without Dreams?

I keep finding myself ask this question, I feel like something is missing in my life and I try very hard to "Adult" but it doesn't feel good, without a dream life's boring and empty.

I've had many dreams growing up, One in particular has stuck with me and I'm still very determined to follow it, or at least see how far I can go with it. 

One of the main reasons I bought a drone was so that I could film awesome stuff and make kick ass films. 

I've found myself looking for ways to use it and new projects that I could do that would be fun. 

Today I was going to work on a project that I've been thinking about for some time, unfortunately it was too windy so I focused on finding Music for my future video. Thank god for awesome composers who post free music, I've found a lot of pieces and not just for this video but for future projects as well. 

Also I've found myself listening to the entire Star Wars Soundtrack non stop. To me it's very inspiring, I love the full sound it has. I'm a bit of a Star Wars nerd.... only a bit though.

I'm kind of on a soundtrack binge, Star Wars, Mamma Mia, Doctor Who, Rent, Lord of the Rings, The X-Files, Harry Potter, and a lot more. 

I don't know about everyone, but to me Music and Film go hand in hand. 

You can have a film without music and it feels empty and without emotion. You can have a film with too much music and it feels chaotic and noisy. Films with the right blend can help you connect with the characters, it leads you through the movie, you almost experience what the character does.  It's amazing what can happen!

I think thats why Film is such a passion of mine, I love the connection. 

Sorry for the long ramblings, looking back at this post I should have titled it, "What would life be without Music?" seeing as that's what I talked about the most. I love music, but for me it's a tool to help tell a story. 

Anyway I'm off, gonna load up my gear and head out, see what I can capture!

I got a video

Last time I flew my Drone I almost lost it...

Thankfully my camera was still recording, as my drone flew away due to strong winds the camera caught some awesome footage! Unfortunately I had the video settings on manual and I had them set low. The video is still "clear" it's just not the quality I would like to see.

I caught a lightning strike which caused a power outage.

If this ever happens again I'll make sure to get better footage....

I think I'm more upset about the quality of the video more than the fact I almost lost my drone.

It's been awhile....

I was hoping to update daily or weekly, unfortunately life got in the way of... Life.

It's been difficult!
I've had a job change, my car's in the shop, I'm required to go to school for work... not too excited about that.

Life!

Some fun change has also happened, I got a drone some time back and I've been flying a bit. I've been getting some good video from it.... However today I almost lost it.

So I knew it was gonna rain, I thought I had more time, one minute things are fine... The next my drone was blown away by strong wind. Thankfully everything worked out, I was able to find the drone and got it to land.

Word of Caution to those getting a drone, DON'T FLY IN STRONG WIND......
Not that I need to tell you, also don't fly until after you've had some time on the simulator. I let my friend fly it and he almost crashed into the Ground, a Fence, a Tree, Us... It was pretty interesting.


I'm gonna go through my footage and see just how scary it was, both todays fun and my friends first go.

Hopefully I'll get back into the blog, I really want to do this but sometime shit comes up and I forget.
I feel like if I did a daily/ weekly video blog I would remember better. However I'm better behind the camera than in front of it.
