I've decided to try taking some videos of my flying again.    Please don't mind the horrible editing, it's because I'm a horrible editor.   In retrospect I think I would have been way better off not taking a time lapse of the outside, but taking a full video, then I could have synced up the inside and outside parts.

Looking for tips here... What would be a better way to keep the video from being super-duper long (It's already way too long) yet still kind of show the whole flight?   Maybe post a 'full flight in real time' video, and then a short video with just the highlights and have links to where the highlights are in the full video?   Ugh.   Don't know.

Definitely need to include both inside and outside mix.  I would also have a camera focused more closely on the map so the viewer can following along.

I’m sure you already know you need to find a way to eliminate the load buzz in the audio.

We watch a lot of YouTube videos and the ones we enjoy most show the outside more than the instruments and then a narration by the videographer including interesting information about the flight and the plane, along with the radio work.

Keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback!!  Yeah, the audio has a major problem at the moment.    

For the map, what would you think of instead of a video of the map, if I used my Flightaware track on CloudAhoy or something?  That's probably a lot easier to get in perfect focus.

 

One 'flight' channel I like is https://www.youtube.com/@MissionaryBushPilot/videos 

I tend to like his format.    Equal focus on flying the plane with its procedures and then the outside scenery and location awareness.

Nice panel! Worry about the audio later... It is ok. The camera position is great, inside and outside. 

The most important part is the story line. What is it that you want to tell the audience. Then write it down as an outline. Once you are done with that look at the video footage you have available and mix it. Show outside views, alternating them with inside views. Each segment has  to be short (no longer than 20 seconds maximum). 

About the map... It always helps showing people where you are going. I just use google maps... and draw arrows on it. 

I also like the  https://www.youtube.com/@MissionaryBushPilot/videos 

But there are others like aviation101 who are interesting.

Have fun!
