Koh Yao Noi - 10th Anniversary 4K Remaster
This is a 4K remastered version of my short film "Koh Yao Noi," which I originally published 10 years ago. This version has been upscaled from 2.7K using Topaz Video AI. 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.

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'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's some more information about the gear and the filming:
Koh Yao Noi is a small island in Thailand. 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 special that I made this standalone edit.
I used two DJI Phantom 2s with a GoPro Hero 3+ shooting in 2.7K, which was attached to the drone with the Zen Muse 3-axis gimbal. The video quality wasn'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. It has a lot less on UA-cam 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 "The Wonder List" 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't continue anymore.
In March 2015, I entered the film into the 1st New York City Drone Film Festival, and it won the "Best Travel/Landscape" category. Thank you to all the judges who voted for it.

Review of the DJI Ronin 4D 8K camera

DJI hired me to assess their 8K camera image and give them my honest feedback. They can also use my footage if they want to, but they had no input on this video. They watched it beforehand to check the facts were correct, which I generally do to make sure I don't get things wrong. So, I feel comfortable calling this a review. 8K Music edit: ua-cam.com/video/lAUwtKawjOQ/v-deo.html Watch my revie...
