Architecture by Air - Campbell High School

[sidd finch]

Designed by William H Weeks and built in 1938. This was the last building he designed in a career or over 500 buildings. Designed in the Spanish Colonial style. Recorded in 4k with ANAFI. Now used as a private school, the auditorium is separated and used for concerts in the 800 seat auditorium.

For me it is so cool to see these old buildings kept in such great shape.

These are great Sidd. Keep 'em coming. I especially liked the "end runs" that swung around the end of the building. And the tiled roof. Very cool. Did you notice some odd glitches in a few of your transitions, or is it just me? Watching on our TV web browser so...

Dave thanks for the kind words. I am glad you are enjoying these videos. It is a great chance to capture some really beautiful historic buildings especially in that they are so well restored. Those end runs are really getting to be a favorite shot of mine. The more I keep flying the more I am realizing how cool the perspective that they make. Shut need to make sure I don't tag any trees on the way. I also love that clay tile roof. That style of roof is pretty prevalent in this area.

I did not notice any glitch but if you have a time stamp I can go double check to make sure I did not miss anything.

I started looking at the superior court house building built in 1866. But I am a bit leery as I only want to record the building not get stopped and have to make a visit inside.

Keep them coming Sidd. We enjoy your videos too.

I went back and viewed your vid on my computer. The first three transitions seem to contain some kind of a bright flash. These are at the 8, 11, and 20 second marks. The remaining transitions appear normal to me. Not sure why it caught my attention but it seemed unusual. Maybe it's just me. Please don't get me wrong. I don't mean this to be hypercritical. Not intended that way.

Thank you for the kind words, Happy to oblige....

Ahh ok I used an additive dissolve. NO offence taken. Feedback is always appreciated. I realized that the additive dissolve was a bit out of step with the rest of the cross fades so I want and changed them all to cross fades. video now updated. Not sure why I had mixed them.

I also noticed that wherever I fly there is always a hummingbird that darts out to the drone. I must be invading their space. But you can see them fly by in some of the shots.

Ah, okay. At least I wasn’t imagining things. I’ve played with additive dissolve but never actually used it. Didn’t recognize it when I saw it.

Did you catch the news a couple of weeks ago of the bald eagle in Michigan that took down a government drone that was mapping shoreline erosion? The drone lost big time - it’s somewhere at the bottom of Lake Michigan.

Dave, I saw that on the eagle that are some massive hunters. When we were on vacation to the badlands a couple of years ago I was flying and noticed a couple of eagle nests and just kept hoping that there would not be a visit while in the air. There were a bunch of swallows that kept buzzing the drone so it was a bit unnerving.

Most of the time I use the additive for when I am making sports related videos. Kind of a flash for each highlight.
