Drone Operator

- Each flight is really important to have in mind all security measures so no one gets hurt and the video recording goes as smoothly as possible, by checking wind speed and weather conditions so the drone does not get damaged, checking the area, and making sure that there will not be possible obstructions in the sky that would jeopardize the recording as well as following the GPS incorporated to the Drone to determine if it's allowed to fly or no
- Fly zone is extremely important since there will be more drones or even planes surrounding the Drone
- During the flight, I am given the indications of the shot desired, and it is managed in the best way possible, avoiding obstacles and checking on the drone sensors and camera so the path followed by it is the best option and then capturing the best shot
- To land the Drone I must check the surroundings and make sure are clear and direct it manually to the landing point
Videographer
Ars Nova Photo Video
04.2020 - Current
- When recording I was required to calculate proper lighting, shutter angles, camera distances, and shot factors
- Most of the time one of the biggest challenges when producing a video will be the white balance, since every angle is different there's a different solution for each time where I am standing
- While recording big events in venues, lighting will always be changing very quickly, that is why I with great concentration change the settings so the subject I am recording is properly captured
- For the final results, the video will have the best nitid image reflecting the true colors and capturing the best image for the clients
