Venezuela | Cinematic FPV over Angel Falls

video upload by Ellis van Jason

"I just returned from a 2 week expedition through the jungles of Venezuela to FPV the world's tallest waterfall, Angel falls (979m / 3121 ft). I had this beautiful country on my bucket list for many years. My friends and I explored the jungle for days by boat, foot, helicopter and drone to show you something unique. Now fasten your seatbelts & enjoy the ride down the world's highest waterfall."

Living on the Most Crowded Island on Earth

Published on Mar 22, 2018 Great Big Story

"Two hours off the coast of Colombia is a small island home to over 1,200 people. As the entirety of Santa Cruz del Islote only spans the length of two soccer fields, residents live in close quarters, making the island four times as dense as the borough of Manhattan. Despite the circumstances, the community makes the most of their limited surface area, packing in a school, two shops and one restaurant. Only 150 years ago, the island was uninhabited; today, generations of families are proud to call Santa Cruz del Islote home."

HAMERSLEY | a pilbara aerial film

HAMERSLEY | a pilbara aerial film from Dan Proud on Vimeo.

"I finally had a moment to piece together the last years worth of drone work from my travels in the North West. Far out, trimming 6 hours of footage to 4 minutes is not easy!

Locations filmed were primarily in the Hamersley range and Karijini National park areas, but also includes scenery around Pannawonica, Milstream-Chichester & Tom Price. I love this part of the country and having the opportunity to film from the sky is nothing short of awesome.

Filmed with a GH4 & Inspire 1. Music: Dreamlife / Tony Anderson."

Spectacular Honey Moon Time-Lapse - Wilderness Sessions - Earth Unplugged

Published on Oct 8, 2015 BBC Earth Unplugged

"This stunning time-lapse medley has been captured of the sun, storms and stars passing over three distinct rock locations in the southwestern US.
The film was shot at three locations: in Monument Valley, Arizona, and at the Trona Pinnacles and Red Rock Canyon in California.
The glowing fireball resembling a meteor at 2:02 was a giant "honey moon" passing in time-lapse across the sky.
The film is actually a series of thousands of still photographs, over 10,000 in total, painstakingly stitched together by film-makers Gavin Heffernan and Harun Mehmedinović.
Shot and produced by Gavin Heffernan (SunchaserPictures.com) and Harun Mehmedinović (Bloodhoney.com)"
